Gordon Rush Corfu SandalNot that there is anything wrong with Haviana's but you can't wear them all the time. In fact you shouldn't wear them any of the time unless it's on the way to the beach or pottering around in the back yard. If you are planning to go anywhere that won't let you in without foot wear and shoes aren't on the menu you will need a great pair of dress slides. Gordon Rush has provided an excellent example. Wear them with a suit, shorts or DT's (but of course you don't own DT's do you ;) ). I probably wouldn't wear them to a bar or club. You might get past the doorman but it's important to remember that shoes provide a certain level of protection in that kind of environment. A stiletto through the toe while you're wearing slides could leave you with a limp. Not very cool...unless you get a cane and then you're very distinguished. These slides cost about as much as a pair of shoes and they are worth the coin. Hand made in Italy (the country that robbed Australia of a place in the World Cup quarter finals). The thong design is a platted leather with openwork center detailing. Notice also the metalic rivet highlights. The contoured leather footbed has a smooth rubber inlay for comfort, shock absordtion and traction. The outsole is smooth leather with rubber traction pads as well. You can pick these fine light steps up for a whisker over US$200.00. Buy them online at www.luxuryshoes.com.--- or nordstrom.com. For more hot designer shoes visit www.veinwear.com
