Steve Madden-Revenu, another shot at glory?

Remember my first post when I was gushing over the Shayne boot @ Bakers (http://shoestalkersandaddicts.wordpress.com/2009/01/16/my-current-object-of-affection/) and got all upset because I knew it’d be gone before I could get it? Well looky here at what I found! A close reincarnation of the Shayne called Revenu and available for pre-order at Steve Madden for $129.95. Is this my second chance at obtaining this shoe? Probably not. Reason one being I like the fact that the Shayne boot was pretty plain. It was the style of the heel and that little bow in the back that attracted me. Now Steve Madden went and added all these studs to it , which made it even more fly, but I would’ve rather had it plain. Second, I never found a heel pad that keeps my foot from slipping out the darn thing! Such a tease.

 

An ugly shoe and its better looking, more expensive cousin.

 When I first saw this shoe on Bakersshoes.com for $79 and change, I thought “what the hell is this? who in the world would wear these?” They’re now on sale for $29 and I still feel exactly the same. In my opinion it looks like a unfinished witch boot.

Then I saw this next shoe and realized the difference a little bit of quality can make. Worn here by La La , the Givenchy lace front wedge boots dont look half bad…

Prices for the boot range from $695 to $795 depending on where you purchase and even though this shoe is definately NOT one of my favorites, I wouldn’t call it “ugly”. If I had to judge based off that first shoe, I wouldnt have even given this style a chance.

YSL bird cages–I mean cage ankle boots…

Yves Saint Laurent has designed a way to keep your feet from flying away!  Unbelievably priced at $1590, I know there’s someone out there who cant wait to get their hands on these. I guess once you have a name set for yourself you can pretty much create whatever the hell you want and people will love it. Lets wait and see what celebrities come out the woodworks wearing these with matching bird cage purse this spring.
