This one's a gem!

Warning. I am about to hop on my soapbox and wax lyrical about a pair of shoes. A PHENOMENAL pair of shoes. They're by Haus of Price (nope, me neither) on the lovely Solestruck website whose mantra "to rid the world of ugly shoes one pair at a time' always makes me chuckle. As we all know, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I believe that I share my eye with a random magpie somewhere. Behold:

Look at all those stones and studs!
Wedge (my new favourite thing apparently), peep toe (an old fave), platform (of course) and H-to the-I-to-the-G-to-the-H!
The shape of the wedge is just perfect and the peep toe is exactly the right size! I hate an oversized peep toe.
The only problem is the $334.95 price tag. Time to get my DIY on I reckon. Pass me the glue gun! Did I ever tell you that I once superglued my finger and thumb together? This is going to be fun...

i generally can't though!

Those shoes could cause a traffic accident! lol
They are very unique and pretty though.

Well Char, those were my thoughts exactly. And if I want a pair that's how it's going to have to go. I am going to scour ebay for cheap peep toe wedge boots! I'm sure (even with buying the glue gun) I can bring 'em in under $334.95!

hello,
i am in love with these shoes, but they are def overpriced.
i am going to diy them. ALSO, im 99.9% sure the shoe base they use is made by qupid. specifically, style bikini-73 in beige. i've seen them on urbanog.com for 29.90 (wholesale $10). so they are basically bedazzling a cheap pair of wedges... which is why i think the price is ridiculous! so if you want the same wedge they use, get the qupid ones!
