Pedro Garcia has hit the road running with his latest AW11 shoe collection, including leather shoes and ankle boots in tan and black, sequined slippers and a certain satin & crystal collection that will knock your fashion socks off. And, delightfully, the price tags won’t make you weep into your current issue of Vogue.

At £284, these Cheyene multi-buckle heels are on our side of affordable. However, I’m not actually sure that I want to afford them. There’s just something a little too school-girl about the style of these shoes. The platform is too low, the buckles too bulky and the round toe isn’t going to do it for me when we’re nearing a season where pointed toes are paving the way to wonderful.

If I’m going to spend out on a pair of Pedro Garcia shoes, I’m going to go for something a rather more aesthetically pleasing – not something that reminds me of when I was seven and less than stylish.
