The Tortoise and the Flair

I remember seeing these Sergio Rossi heels months ago when La Coquette snapped some press samples, back when we were all still refusing to believe that platforms were back (ha!). Then they appeared on Fashion Tribes a few days ago. To me they still seem a bit like the plastic shoes you find arranged by colour in scary warehouse shops called 'shoepermarkets', but in a season of extravagant shoes, I can't ignore their hooker heel appeal any longer. In tortoiseshell leather with killer 4" heels they're $543.
