Now this may come as a shock but I don’t actually own a decent court shoe. I never really thought they were my style as I prefer something chunkier and sturdier, like a wedge or ankle boot. If it’s going to be a skinny heel and pointy toe combo I like it to be peep toe.
However, Emerald Street’s recent email changed all this for me as they featured single-sole courts, in particular a gorgeous pair of metallic bronze Manolo Blahniks and changed my life forever. They’re all I keep thinking about.
I’ve dreamt about owning the purple, lime green and orange suede pairs. I’ve gone a full 360 and want my closet to be full of them. I now need a different colour for every possible occasion.
There’s just something so incredibly sexy about these that I don’t have in any of the shoes I currently own. The beautiful suede. The tall, slim heel. The beautiful point. The amount of ankle on show.
I don’t know how I’ve lasted this long without them in my life. Manolo, I salute you.
