public service announcement: The Steve Madden Luvvy

While these are not my very favorite shoes, the Steve Madden Luvvy is a close second – and, with a lower heel and a convertible Mary Jane strap, they are infinitely more practical. I have them in black patent and black pinstripe, and while I covet the little beauties pictured above, I really cannot justify another pair of red shoes in my closet.

But you should buy them, have you any need or want for sexy heels. They are super-comfortable (really! you know how people always lie and say that heels are comfortable, but they don’t mean it for people like you, with your weight and your flat feet and your knobby toes and your weak ankles? These shoes really are comfy, even with my fat and feet and toes and ankles and generalized incompetence in wearing heels) and oh so beautiful. Zappos is currently selling them in a variety of suedes and fabrics, and if only they had them in an 11 some of those grey varietals could be coming home to me. But ye of smaller feet, go forth and buy and I will live vicariously through you. (And ye of size 11, Endless.com is selling them in black leather, black and red patent, and black pinstripe.)
