Boutique 9 Genarose

Originally uploaded by shoedish

If you thought the super platform was a one-season one-off, think again! Height is king…or queen, depending on how you look at it and Spring/Summer 2010 have made no exceptions. The platform sandal is here to stay, at least for one more season. The Genarose, a super platform sandal from Boutique 9 at Nine West is the perfect example of a Spring Fling. Complete with an animal-print calf-hair multi-strap design and 4 1/2-inch super stiletto balanced on a 1-inch platform, these platforms are strictly for stiletto walking professionals only, not to be mistaken for stilt-walkers! The Genarose is available for $170.
