Balmain red-haute suede buckled ankle boots

OK. so we get that the bondage look is back in and the next few months are going to go a bit fetishy and bizarre, but it's a bit dull when everything you see in the 'next season' section is black and white with silver?

Admittedly, that's one reason I was so drawn to the latest offer from Balmain. Not only is it breaking the mould with the daring use of red, but check out the crazy strapping: it's a bit sci-fi, a bit industrial and very, very cool. Being from one of the hottest shoe-shapers in the planet right now they're a not very recession-friendly £850 at Net-a-Porter, but keep your eyes peeled for copycat styles.
