It's SOOOO hard to find inexpensive shoes that are styled nicely... you know, it seems like something is always off, design-wise... Well these BR suede hidden platform pumps aren't perfect, but they aren't bad either. And for $120, how can one complain (that much anyway)?
They come in wild berry (red), T moro (brown, shown above) and black. The stacked heel is 4" with a 3/5" hidden platform. Suede with leather lining and synthetic sole.
Not bad, right? But here's what I'd change to make it perfect:
1. can the suede. suede is actually quite horrible, get caught in the rain and you're done. leather just looks better, and wears better
2. not loving the shape of the round toe, should be slightly more round
3. the vamp is cut a bit too high. should be slightly lower more like the classic Louboutin pump
4. sole. sorry, but I prefer leather soles
5. no... actually I think that's it.
So.... how much do you think all that stuff would raise the price by? #s 2 and 3 are design issues and should cost nothing if they had just done it right to begin with, but #s 1 and 4 would def. add to the cost of the shoe. BR has to keep a certain price point... grumble, grumble.
But I think these are worth trying on anyway. They may look much nicer in person!
