these shoes?
Permalink Closed

i have been wanting these shoes for a while (from marshall's, i refrained b/c of the shopping ban) and found them this weekend on clearance for $11.  they are supposed to have an ankle strap -- about 1" thick with grommeted holes and a big-ish buckle, kind of dog collar looking (but in a sexy way).  anyway, one of the ankle straps was missing from my shoes -- any suggestions on where to find another?


the brand is franco barbieri and the only things that come up when i google it are ebay auctions.


or, any suggestions for an alternative strap (the shoes don't stay on right w/o one)? i was thinking satin ribbon, or thin leather cord.  i would love to find some where that woud sell actual straps with buckles too.

well, why not buy a couple of dog collars then? I'm serious - I took a quick peek at petco LOL - no one will know but you (I like the ribbon idea as well, btw)

and look at these cat collars - I think you could do something really creative and cool - and since you only spent $11 on them - have some fun!

one more thought - you could just buy a leather pelt and cut a couple of wide strips that you can lace through the back and tie in the front at your ankle...

I like the ribbon idea, you could have a variety and change them according to your outfit. Also I adore the 2nd set of dog collars detroit posted and as she said no one would know but you!
