I have to admit, I have no idea what the official term for heels like these is, but given that they're only marginally higher than kitten heels and have hard-edged styling, I've decided to call them 'tough kitten'. If there's a better word out there for them, well...tough.
Semantics aside, I'd love to know what you think of them. I think it's a fairly cool modern revamp of the more staid early 2000s look (which can only be a good thing), but am not sure of the practicality of balancing a hefty platform shoe on a diddy heel - particularly in the case of the Marni shoe (left). I do, however, quite like the sheethed claw look that they have about them.
How's about you?
