These high heels are from the GUCCI 2009 Fall/Winter collection. The DIVISION PUMP was made available in a black iridescent patent leather, a navy hue, and dark gray. I tried them all on, but ultimately opted for the charcoal. I am quite fond of almost all shades of gray and it was a color I didn't have in my closet. They are leather, patent leather, and have a bit of suede around the heel. These shoes go with a lot of things, but I often find myself pairing them with something navy...
I get lots of wear of these shoes with pants, dresses, and even denim. It's a sort of multi purpose shoe, and for an about five inch heel, they are relatively comfortable. The platform does provide a little extra support and allows for extended wear around New York City. I can easily hail a yellow taxi or skillfully traverse a cobblestone street to make my next purchase. I do believe it's a good idea to have a pair of gray heels in your closet as they can serve as a neutral option. The idea is to get a variety of shades to ensure there are always options. After all, a girl can't live only owning black shoes. We must try our very best to diversify all around. Ladies, this includes your shoe closet.
