Natasha perforated pump, dark gold, 6

Pros: the colour is closer to bronze than gold, but definitely metallic leather; all leather construction; I like the pattern of perforation.

Cons: It's a case of taking an idea one step too far; the shoes make you look like you're trying too hard. Definite Star Trek vibe. Perforating the ankle strap is also a move in the wrong direction. Finally, the ankle strap is too noticeably big around my ankle for me to make it work.

Sizing: TTS

Verdict: Return. Money saved.
