To the new heel height say hello and your three-and-a-half-incher chiropodist are going to love this. This shoe to be the latest 90s trend to make a comeback, as declared by The Times and for its return, we’re thrilled.
The official fashion name is the court shoe and it is the style that for all of the 90s, pretty much every woman wore. To see Agent Scully running through forests in nippy suede pumps, just look at any X-Files rerun. The aughts introduced heel heights of increasing extremes in its place and kicked this look to the curb.
And we applaud the likes of Isabel Marant and Kate Moss for bringing this practical pump back into fashion spotlight, while Christine Louboutin’s signature Pigalle stiletto, with its 120mm heel, is still very much on a tour wish list. Our favorite shoes for the upcoming party season are ahead. For dancing, they really are made.
