Via Spiga is a good choice for a mid-range shoe. They have the nice details like real leather lining and leather soles and their designs are excellent, on-trend but still somehow classic.
Here are a few picks for Fall:
Essex Ankle Boots, $275. They look like lace-ups but they actually zipper up the inner sides. They have a 3/4″ platform and 4″ stacked heel.
Elora Snake Embossed Pumps, $225. These were featured in the ad pages of several of the big September issues. It’s a very classic cut with peep toes, platforms and nicely shaped stacked heels.
Clogs have been popular for a while. These have nice styling with leather tassels and super high 5″ wood heels. Allston Clogs, regular $185, now on sale $99!

I am still lamenting not having bought these wonderful ballet flats that I saw a few years ago, they were simple round toe, classic black, but had big leather flowers on each toe which made them unique. I loved them, they were made in Italy but they were from an unknown brand and were $225! I thought that was a lot… So I was pleased when I saw these cute similar flats from Garnet Hill: Floral Ballet Flats. They are priced at $98 as a special introductory price but will go up to $128 as of Sep. 14th.
And these are also made in Italy! They’re leather with leather lining and rubber soles.

Christian Louboutin’s Rolando pumps have inspired so many imitations it’s kind of crazy. The unique, elegant pointed toe – sometimes called almond or crescent toe – has a seam up the front, you see that all the time now.
Below is the Christian Louboutin Rolando Python in Roccia Grey, $1195. The heel is 120 mm or about 4.7 inches. They are made in Italy and are made with python, leather, and of course have the signature red Louboutin soles.
Here’s a very good option for a similar shoe by Bruno Magli (pre-order from Bloomingdale’s). Bruno Magli Mirta Platform Pumps, $355… less than 1/3 the price of the Louboutins. They are also made in Italy and have 4.75″ heels, embossed leather upper, leather lining and leather soles. The rich gray color will look great with this Fall’s colors!
