Marc Jacobs has gone for the clonky look with these heavy-bottomed pumps that look like they'd probably withstand an ice age. The heels are very Lanvin-esque (and more than a little nineties) but I'm starting to get used to that now. What's really interesting about these shoes is the industrial looking hexagonal pin that's holding the patent bow firmly in place; a hard/soft touch that's red hot right now. The toe and heel caps are also a flourishing trend.
I can imagine these shoes being a good investment for anyone who's obliged to wear a suit or dress formally but likes to show a little character and experimentation. They could be dressed up or down and are terribly chic. Find them at Harvey Nichs for £295
