And speaking of good shoe: Ferragamo, seen above. The name brings middle-aged coiffed women to their knees in ecstasy. This brand is what I would consider to be the pinnacle of refined shoe. Salvatore Ferragamo makes the best shoes, but rarely does the brand take risks. They make simple, straight ahead, some would say WASPish shoes for those with the cash. That's why I was struck by the daring of this Ferragamo shoe pictured above. It's simple and refined from the front. But the back of the shoe looks as if it were constructed from a Roman mosaic that met it's end on the heal of a high class call girl. It's a dichotomy shoe. Virtuous by day. Sinful by night. But, always sexy.
