Miu Miu footwear seldom comes cheap, but I think the price tag on these is quite reasonable: they're £330, so if you reckon you could raise that in the shoe fund in time for Christmas, you'll be well on the way to a stylish winter season and a shoe you'll wear to many functions yet to come. Seek them out at Net-a-Porter.
