fringe from David Z

Originally uploaded by shoedish

Check this shoe out? We likey, likey!!! Not sure what the masses will think, but shoedish is going to go ahead and say, HOLLA!!!! This is some fringy fabulousness that we are loving! It is possible to go too far with fringe, but today we’re feeling very supportive of this cowboy chic, indian sleek suede hair look. From Jeffrey Campbell - va va voom, give me some suede peep-toe loving - comes these bushy-fringed t-strap sandals. This gaudy platform is all about the Bohemain chic and we don’t see nothin’ wrong with a little 60s platform action. Complete with the iconic cone heel and double-strapped ankle security, these fringe frenzy sandals have hit the ‘It’ list according to us. Available at David Z for the sale price of $75.

Here’s some more fringe action, but these faux suede tendrils are coming to your from a more affordable shoe source. These dressy, t-strap, sandals from Alloy are in shoedish’s favorite color for the season. Here’s a shoe that would do wonders for your various holiday getups from a sexy cowgirl at Halloween all the way to a trendsetting diva at New Years. Shoedish loves a versatile shoe and with cowgirl chic and indian sleek making a play the fashionista hall of fame, these pretty sandals will do your shoedrobe good. Available in grey and in an animal-friendly faux fabric, we’re liking everything these dress sandals have to offer. At $32.50, the price tag is merely icing on the stiletto cake.

Z-Coil

Originally uploaded by shoedish

It’s official, shoedish has finally found the shoes that take the ugly shoe cake. Yeesh! I mean, really? This is George Jetson meets the athletic shoe and we don’t mean that in any cool, futuristic, astro chic kind of way, either. This is as bizarre as it is ugly. The Z-Coil is a casual comfort shoes designed specifically to relive stress and pain on the foot, leg, and back. Using a patented, shock-absorbing design, the Z-Coil greatly decreases impact to the body by distributing the bodies weight more evenly across the footbed. Z-Coil wearers report significant relief from heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, metatarsal pain, lower back pain and sciatica, and arthritis, among other common joint pains, which are all conditions commonly associated with bad choices in footwear. The only thing shoedish can say is that we’re disappointed once again. Why is it that people have to trade style for function. With all this modern technology, you’d think that pretty shoes could be just as comfort conscious.

‘opinion please’ friday: poirot premium

Originally uploaded by shoedish

Now here’s an interesting shoe from Topshop. These Poirot Premium t-straps are garnering mixed emotions here at The Shoe Dish. I think are main problem is the sole. It looks a little too athletic and casual for this shiny dress up shoe. Of course, we can’t really complain about a solid grip. Everyone likes to have something to hold on to and you probably can barely see the teeth of the rubber grips when they’re actually on your feet. Hmm….thoughts? Opinions? Knotted t-bar, funky sport stripe color blocking, and metallic. What’s making it or breaking it for this Fridays ‘Opinions Please’ shoe?
