They freak me out. Droogist loves them though.

Where is all the A.F.Vandevorst boot talk? They make some amazing ones.

Post them up Faust! I know I'm personally interested in AFV...except for that red logo cross thing...not sure how much I like that. And how many pairs of them does Rider own...?

[laika]

galia, that's very good to know...i have never inspected them in person either, tbh.

laika, are you a tabi girl? any tabi girls here? just curious, i havent delved into that realm just yet, but the dove grey suede ones tempt me.

love them. I had a pair of MMM flats that I wore into the ground...i would really love a boot though.

none. yet...

is the logo that obvious? that would be a drag.

[Faust]

I love that logo!

Yes - it's a deal-breaker:



And indeed, I my tabi's. One pair is enough for me, though.

totokaelo has a nice representation of brands these days...not to mention a "little" shoe sale going on right now. i like the vanessa bruno shoe too, and the tabi margiela boots (thank god they sold out of my size).

I'd never heard of this store before...good selection. These ankle boots by Elsa (a nice under-the-radar make from Antwerp) are pretty fun:

droogist, thanks for lead on elsa shoes. if you are interested i found the same ones that are currently for sale on totokaleo on yoox for a lot less.

also these henry cuir wedges along with some other boots and oxfords (worth a look). the wedges are sweet, considering they have flowers on them. i like how they are growing from the sole.

The shape of these wedges looks eerily similar to the shape of melissa plastic shoes

Can't find a good picture to illustrate but the toebox is realy the same

im sure the afv are beautifully crafted but they dont do it for me either...the logo has very little to do with it though.

tabis in action.

[galia]

There was a stiletto version of these at some point. I don't know af they are still made

[genevieveryoko]

I had an opportunity to get very similar AFV boots for $200 on ebay and passed it up in part due to the logo - not necessarily against it aesthetically but I'd have to learn more about AFV before I wear their logo. Not all of their shoes have the logo however.

The red Elsa boots are cute...but not the lucite heel - looked good when Margiela did it but this reminds me of a bad Stella McCartney moment.

Well, in the AFV case, the logo is definitely fitting to their design in/aspirations. Military nurses uniforms was/is a big part of what they do.

that's a really interesting sidenote, i didnt realize that but now that you said (wrote) it, it makes perfect sense. thanks, i love those kind of tidbits of information.
