Gucci shoes #2

I have received the Gucci sandals I have bought on eBay: high heel sandals in black patent leather, inside dust bag and original box. These sandals have half inch platform and 4 inch leucite heels. Basically, this is a classic T-strap model with the inclusion of a platform for added comfort and stability, and block heels. These shoes are obviously manufactured according to high quality standards; it is truly a master piece in craftsmanship. I would even risk to say that I doubt any manufacturers can produce better quality footwear. Worth to mention is the ability to combine two opposite materials in a classic design, creating a whole piece of design from materials apparently not compatible. The designer has worked on the classic T–strap model adding new elements but keeping the essence of its classic origin. And this is exemplary done by Gucci, and it is the brand’s fingerprint. Adding patent leather and leucite to a classic model is per se an approach to modernity. On one hand, patent if not used carefully in shoe design may result in a cheap look. On the other hand, leucite will raise additional debate to this issue and In fact, this material is widely found in fetish footwear. Bringing both materials into a classic design and producing a high quality sandal is a fantastic approach to footwear design. Gucci has even gone further on this model by adding a platform: a detail which means increased comfort for women’s feet. In fact I am amazed with Gucci’s rule of thumb: taking the classic model, adding and redesigning and the result is a luxury pair of shoes which can make any woman’s feet wonderful.
