LD Tuttle 'The Creature' Sandals

I've never been into slim, vertiginous heels. They look great on other women but not on me. Besides I can't really walk in them.  Give me a chunky heel, preferably with a bit of a platform and me and my feet are relatively happy.

LD Tuttle is a brand that's not so well known in the UK. Only a few outlets stock this directional shoe label. But I'm sure that's all set to change with Tiffany Tuttle's  spot-on designs for A/W 09. I love The Shifter Flat Boot available from Amelie Boutique.  Okay at £470 it may be a little steep for some wallets, but the fact is, The Shifter is versatile and works hard to earn its keep. It can be worn folded down or pulled up, so you don't have to buy two pairs of boots. Simply genius. Unfortunately they're  selling out quickly (they've only got a couple of the smaller sizes left), so catch them while you can. Other UK stockists include KJs Laundry and  Matches

Here is The Shifter in Beige from US site shirise.com:

Beige is gorgeous and very luxe looking, but I much prefer the design in black.



The Creature
I've just ordered these LD Tuttle 'The Creature' sandals from the final sale on ShopBop (70% off).   I would have preferred them in black but the pewter colour goes with so much in my wardrobe.  Should be arriving from the US soon! There are a couple of pairs on eBay

I've never owned a pair of Tuttles before, but I hear they're comfortable so my poor old feet can happily stomp around while looking fashionable. I'll let you know how I get on.
