Gucci's 'Dahlia' high heel platforms come complete with metal toecaps

I don't know about you, but when I think of metal toecaps, I immediately imagine a huge pair of workman's boots, not a delicate pair of designer heels! Well, I think this platform is a little too chunky to be classed as "delicate", but Gucci's 'Dahlia' platforms do come with a set of toecaps, although they're gold, not steel, with the Gucci logo engraved on them. Definitely not recommended for workmen, then. These also have a rather interesting ankle strap, with Gucci moving their classic horse bit round to the back of the shoe: I think it works pretty well and I can imagine Mary Kate or Ashley Olsen tripping around in these, with skinny jeans and floaty scarves. As for the rest of us, well, the $795 may prove a little high, but if I could, I'd buy these in both black and grey and stash them away for winter.
