Sheila's Shoe Shine #6

Shoe Shine is on!
Get your kicks by showing your kicks!
After doing a full week of "Shoes My Husband Hates", it's only appropriate that I feature a pair of shoes that my husband loves - my leopard pony-hair Steve Madden pumps.
Sexy. Leopard. Classic.

These are the perfect leopard pump, and I can see why L likes them. They are a typical "guy" shoe (if I may stereotype, noting that plenty of women love this shape too - me included!) with that stiletto, pointed toe and lovely scooped vamp and sides.

These are one of my few pairs of shoes that are pre-blog. If not the first, they are close to being the first-ever pair of "good" shoes I'd ever owned, meaning they cost more than $40.00. I bought them in October 2006, in the DSW in downtown San Francisco. L and I flew down for a short birthday weekend for me (my 39th); I was midway through losing my 50 lbs. I didn't want to buy any clothes, so I bought these.
I've had the leopard Dr. Scholl's in them since I got them!
I think they were around $70 - okay for Steve Madden. I first wore them here in April 2008 on the blog. They are too high for me to be a regularly-worn shoe (they were last seen here in February), but I do wear them a couple of times a year.

  8. I love leopard print, as you will see in my link. You must look amazing in them. I see why L likes them. They are the absolute opposite of the shoes I'm sharing. Hee! I like to provide some variety. XO JJ

  9. Oops, same shoes, different party. That makes two shoe misdemeanours on my part. I'll be a lifer if I do it again...
    I love your kitty shoes, classic! I have hairy ones similar to this but square-toed, box heels, thrifted D&G, probably they'd make L puke, but I would hope he'd write something about them first. Ha. Thanks for the party.

  11. Wonderful shoes - I love leopard print in anything but especially in a shoe, though funnily enough my man doesn't like leopard print (in anything!).

  12. I have to agree here with L - these are a fabulous pair.
