Balmain’s studded crystal sandals: the shoes of the season?
These shoes have seen more than their fair share of the red carpet lately. Their most recent outing was to the 'He's Just Not That Into You' premiere this week, on the feet of Jennifer Connelly, but they've also been seen on Gemma Arterton, and a bunch of other celebrities, too.
The shoes in question are by Balmain, and cost 1,475 euros (Get them here), but what do you think of them? Are they the perfect way to counterbalance a girlie dress, or are they just too OTT for words?
I look at these and think about Heavy Metal.
Ok, I’ll admit. Me likey.
I like the idea and I’ve liked the idea for a couple years now. It’s getting old and they don’t feel at all fresh anymore. Time for something new…taxidermy seems to be the new trend.
Very funky. I like them too.
LOVE them! WANT them!!
Oh God, i’m so happy these days! Lot’s of Rock & Roll items running around free
I adore them.
These shoes are goegeous. But they are unaffordable for most of us. There is a very similar pair at Zara… those were even posted on the Jak and Jil blog. here: http://jakandjil.com/blog/?p=1204
Aldo and Zara have wonderful knockoffs of this sandal.
i want them ! i’ll have to look for the knockoff version
i have a pair similar to them i got for £70 like 4 years ago
am i ahead of the game or waht (H)
I like ‘em. I dunno if I’d wear them, I’m not a huge fan of open shoes (being that I live in Canada and they’re pretty much never practical), but I like the kind of punk rock look.
Ooooh, shiny!
Holyyyyyyyyy…
I love this look. A lot. It’s sexy, it’s fun, it’ll look totally fab with jeans or a simple black dress… I love the rock and roll look. FABULOUS.
I’m going against the trend here.
I hate them! Too much bling if you ask me.
the most beautiful shoes I’ve ever seen, very punk rock, way sexy, just stunning,.
Shoe Porn .

BeBe has them as well. Of course they got sold out fast as well. I found out to late but scored my size on ebay http://tinyurl.com/dn4czr
Hi, I’m selling my Balmain sandals by Zara. The reason? I thought I could survive the heel but I can’t, and before they die in my closet, I hope another Balmain addict girl want them!!
Anyway, get a look at them. They are brand new, with the plastic cover at the sole, the price tag, everything. I ship worldwide.
Good look!!
