Valentino Patent Leather Rockstud Slingback PumpsSomething on your mind? Chat about it here. I'm usually able to resist the allure of designer shoes… but my goodness these are gorgeous. Love that rocker vibe mixed with what looks like a pretty flattering design and a walkable 2.5″ heel. The one review on Saks is ebullient — the woman is so pleased with the blush version that she says she's off to buy other colors. Impressive! But — for $895 I think I'd have to be happy with just one pair. Valentino Patent Leather Rockstud Slingback Pumps 2016 Update: These heels are now in our Workwear Hall of Fame — they've been around for years now, win amazing reviews, and keep coming back in new styles and colors.
