Omelle Estella Apron Pumps

Filed under: Shoes

The Omelle's Estella Apron Pumps ($284) are pretty unique looking for a shoe with a muted color and very minimal accents. The designers have combined elements of a boot, pumps and sandals to create a pair of shoes that forces you to look at it from all angles. If you quickly look at the Estella Apron Pumps from the front, you could mistakenly think there is a back to them as though they were a pair of open toed booties. But then from the side, it looks more like a pump with a very tall vamp. If you view from the back you're able to see an ankle strap which is usually seen with sandals. Needless to say, this shoe has many unexpected qualities to it. One of my favorite qualities is the deep chocolate brown cone heel. It's slightly angled in with a small darkened silver metal inset. As an added bonus, with your purchase you receive a pair of honeycomb knit stirrup socks that you can wear with your new shoes.

Omelle makes some of the most unusual footwear I've seen. The Spring/Summer '09 collection has some basics for those who us who teeter in heels (low-heeled sandals) as well as more upscale styles, perfect for the big summer party where you want to impress. For the warmer nights where you still want a boot for style, there is this combo that mixes a boot and a sandal.

Made with exotic skins and leather, and sometimes adorned with ribbons, Omelle's shoes are available on its own site as well as at shopbop.com. Sizes are European, and prices start in the high $400 range. Get shopping, then get a pedicure, pronto!

P.S. Every pair comes with a reusable Bow Bag, taking the place of tissue in the boxes. You also can buy it separately for $50.
