Home Depot and high fashion eloped...

Every woman has at least one man in her life that is super into tools, fixing cars, being a man's man, and one who totally doesn't understand fashion, especially shoes. Be it her father, brother, best friend growing up, uncle, grandfather, boyfriend, boss, or chronic you-know-you-shouldn't-but-you-can't-help-it hook up, these men just don't understand shoes. They can't comprehend why we would spend perfectly good money on something that we wear on our feet.

What they don't understand is the joy that we get when we see a fabulous sky-high heel in our size and, cross your fingers, on sale, its the same joy that they get when they see that new drill set they've been ogling for months.

But, what happens when these two polar opposite passions collide? A supremely beautiful piece of footwear, of course! Meet the Proenza Schouler Bracket heel:

They are both architecturally and aesthetically beautiful. That's real hardware ladies! That combined with the creamy ribbed patent leather, peep toe, and scroll detail makes it a must-have shoe. It's definitely a statement shoe. So you can brag to that clueless male of yours that your shoes have the highest of the high-end bolts, much better than those rinky dink little bolts from the Home Depot on the corner. AND Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor put them together special for you. Ok, maybe Mr. Taylor really didn't put them together for you, but with these types of men, you really have to wow them. Who knows, maybe that 4" hardware heel will catch the attention of your gent and he might even appreciate them as art, rough, manly (super amazingly delectable), gruff - art.

Even better, once you slip these babies on maybe you'll feel like hammering or sawing something... or not.
