When these pink patent leather saddle shoes popped up on my Pinterest feed (try saying that five times fast!), I loved them in spite of myself. I’m pretty sure the last time I wore saddle shoes was third grade picture day, but oh man, now I’m dreaming about pairing them with dark skinny jeans and chunky cardigans. These babies have been popping up in Spring fashion magazines too, so what do you guys think? Would you wear saddle shoes? Or should this particular style of footwear be confined to elementary class photos? ["Odette" Saddle Shoes, $76, Bass]

One of the people behind the scenes at The Frisky is our General Manager Mina Lux. Mina is insane in a really wonderful way, best illustrated by the fact that, no matter what the weather is outside — I’m talking rain, hail, blizzard, flood, ice storm, whatever – she is in sky-high, platform heels. So when she came to me and said she wanted to curate a slideshow of heels, I decided to let her go wild, provided she stayed below a certain price point. Here are 35 pairs that get her approval.

Emma Stone’s Alexander McQueen gown at the SAG awards on Sunday night was the perfect length to show off some seriously fierce shoes: sky-high ankle strap heels with fun ruffle embellishments (also by McQueen). Ankle straps have a bad reputation for making legs look shorter, and yes, they’re not exactly the best footwear choice for, say, cargo capri pants, but as you can see, they look amazing with the midi-length skirts that are super trendy right now.

Uggs: They are a fashion monster, and yet, many people swear by their comfort. But teens and pre-teens at one Philadelphia-area middle school won’t be allowed to wear them anymore, either way. That’s because officials at Pottsdown Middle School feel that Uggs offer an all-too convenient hiding place for contraband cell phones. (If there had been cell phones when I was in high school, I would have failed.)

Those found sporting the hideous, mobile-phone-hiding footwear will receive detention. The Uggs ban may hopefully have unintended positive consequences — like pushing better footwear decisions upon teen girls. [Reuters]

I have a sister, who shall remain nameless despite the public humiliation she deserves, who not only wears Crocs but actually wears Crocs with socks. Crocs with socks! I am related to this person!

The only “crocs” you’ll ever see on my feet are these gator-themed high heels by the Dutch artist Sit. These can at least be forgiven for not being fashionable by being awesome.  [The Daily What]

Crocs Made Over $1 Billion In 2011

NYMag.com's The CutJanuary 14, 2012 //

For every one of us smug New Yorkers who wouldn’t be caught dead near a Croc, there are a dozen people who have no problem buying them (in multiple colors, even!) and wearing them while grocery shopping or gardening or checking the mailbox or doing all the things that normal people do. And don’t lie: When you see people wearing Crocs in the security line at the airport, you totally rush to get behind them because you know they’ll be speedy at the scanning machines. Not to mention that anyone who’s ever tried to tie a sneaker on a toddler knows that Crocs are a godsend for parents. Read more…
