The spring racing carnival in Melbourne is famous for that end of the day scene with girls staggering home, heels in hand. With the right shoes, there should be no need to remove them after a heaving day's punting. A well-designed, well-balanced heel is a dream to wear all day. Cheap shoes will torture you, seriously well-designed shoes will take your feet seriously.
It's all about choosing the right shoe for the ocassion. Stilletoes were a shoe fail at the race track, since they sink straight into the grass. An astounding pair of Alaia wedges were the perfect choice, delivering height and stability and a certain French sauciness. They were high but comfortable, according to the wearer.
Plenty of these shoes were snapped in the Myer marquee, so pop into one of their stores to replenish your shoe stocks. David Jones also have a new batch of heels right in time for Christmas party season.
Enjoy.
