Shoes on the metro

Along with jumpsuit, the talk of town for the summer seems to be the revamp of the low heel.
Last weekend's FT How to Find it featured a whole article dedicated to the new mid-heel craze. Among the supporters of this come back are LV with its Stephen Sprouse mid-heel pumps, Jimmy Choo with its printed linen Demure heels, followed by Chanel and March Jacobs..

Here in Italy we keep wearing sky high heels, and while I long for a more comfortable shoe that also gives me height, I am not sure I am in love with the short, stubby heel look.
I much prefer my Repettos..and for that matter I have been noticing Roman women wearing more and more flat shoes..not so much flats, but funky trainers...

While riding the metro I caught glimpse of two women, each wearing a different type of animal print sneaker.
I managed to steal a picture and actually ask one of the women about the shoes. Her pair was from Caterina Lucchi- an Italian brand that used to be extremely popular a few years ago and now seems to have disappeared...The other woman was wearing a pair of Nike's in gold and white fur (looked like cavallino)..how interesting..never seen them before!

What was I wearing? Bright purple stockings and patent black pumps...wait a second..I AM WEARING A MID-HEEL!!!!
