Manolo says, sometimes the Manolo gets the most detailed questions from his internet friends.

Hello Manolo!

I am 28 years old, and I work at a university in an office where the dress is casual. When I say “casual”, I mean that even my boss and the department chair wear jeans regularly. I love pairing fashionable jackets, shawls, and sweaters with nice jeans or khaki or dress pants, but I’m at a loss for variety in the shoe styles that can be worn. I have a pair of brown croc(not the hated crocs, but faux crocodile)-patterned pointy pumps that I like to wear, and some black ballet flats, and a pair of black loafer-style shoes (that are not ugly!), but I’m on a burnout cycle with these pairs. I have boots in black and tan, but what I want is a non-pump, non-pointy, non-boot shoe that is not a sneaker to wear with jeans and sweaters or jeans and jackets. Very picky description, I know. I’ve been out shoe shopping several times and have seen nothing that fits my criteria that is not also ugly. I had a pair of shoes for four years that I wore until they were no longer wearable that were similar to what I now want – they were black, round-toed, had a leprechaun-like buckle and strap, and a 2-inch slightly chunky square heel. They were perfect, but alas, they have passed on to good shoe heaven. I have a very, very hectic schedule, so I have to think through what shoes to wear each day of the week very carefully. Employee parking is quite far away from the building I work in. Two days a week I work from 8-5, then trek across campus (sometimes in inclement weather) to the library for classes (I’m getting my Masters of Library Science.) Three days a week, I go straight from my 8-5 job to my part time job. On class days, I can’t wear my pointy pumps because there is far too much walking involved, but I don’t want to look unfashionable, either! And, I’m all good with casual, but I can’t stand to wear sneakers to work unless it’s a designated office cleaning or furniture moving day. I probably will not be able to afford a super-expensive shoe, but what I want most are style suggestions. Thank you!

Sincerely,
Casual Office Girl

Ayy yi yi! The Manolo’s head it is spinning right round, like the record, baby!

As far as the Manolo can tell his stylish and shoe-obsessed friend is looking for something like these from the Biviel.

Although, the Casual Office Girl might be just exactly the sort of super fantastic girl who would appreciate the Rania from the John Fluevog.

Yes, as with all of the shoes of the Fluevog, it is unusual, and certainly not for all of the tastes, but it is also handsome and distinctive in the way that the Manolo’s friend may appreciate.

Manolo says, one of the Manolo’s many internet friends has asked the Manolo the question.

I’ve bought a fabulous black wrap dress. I wear it with stilettos for an evening dinner, but I’d like to dress it down a bit with boots. I want to wear that super fantastic dress at work too!

What type of boots would you suggest ? High boots ? Mid-calf ? Leather ? Suede ?

Thank you very much,

Julie

First the Manolo must compliment the Julie on her marvelous taste. Every super fantastic girl must have at least one of the Diane von Furstenberg wrap dresses in her closet. They are the very definition of the word “classic”.

Beacuse the shilouette and fit of the DvF wrap is very soft and feminine and pretty and because it is also the very practical garment, the Manolo would recommend that the feetwear should have these same qualities of softness, practicality, and femininity.

Thus he would suggest this black knee-high suede boot from the Michael Kors.

Normally, the Manolo is not the fan of the chunky chains on the boots, but in this case, because of the black-on-black combination of the boots and the dress, the chain adds the needed flash to the ensemble.

Dear Manolo,

Claire

Manolo says, ayyyyyy! The excessively long, narrow feets? You have the Jackie O foot! Or, perhaps more distressingly, the Paris Hilton foot. You are indeed lucky and/or cursed to have such gigantic, elegant, aristocratic and/or skanky feets.

Happily, for the ladies who are not the Jackie O nor the Paris Hilton to have the big foot is no longer the insurmountable problem it once was, as the feet sizes of the mythical Ms. Average Shoewearer have increased over the past three generations to the most impressive eight and the half.

And thus many of the shoe manufacturers have begun to introduce the larger sizes to fit this growing market.

Sadly, to not be able to wear the high heels would be the dreary and frustrating limitation, however, do not worry, the Manolo can help you find the boat-like shoes to fit your feets.

Look, here is the most handsome, low-heeled boot from the Sesto Muecci that comes in exactly the 12AA!

*****

All Sesto Meucci shoes are handcrafted in Italy using only the finest Italian materials, Tuscan leathers, and time-honored shoe-making techniques. Attention to detail is maintained with every shoe, sandal or boot. This is evident when you see a pair of Sesto Meucci shoes and feel the rich leathers, fabrics and cushioned footbed. If you purchase a pair of Sesto Meucci woven shoes, know that the upper is created by hand. Sesto Meucci shoes are available in a variety of sizes and widths to meet the needs of the customer.

The entire product line offered by Sesto Meucci exemplifies their commitment to the end result of creating new and unique shoes for today’s woman. Each Sesto Meucci shoe is a vision of beauty and a showcase of true craftsmanship.

Dear Manolo,

Sabrina

Manolo says, you may perhaps, like the Manolo, remember when the Halloween was the minor holiday celebrated only by the small childrens dressed up like the ballerinas and the super heroes, and by the teenaged hooligans who threw eggs at the homes of their algebra teachers.

Ayyyy, but now the Halloween it has become the massive celebration of the adult id unbound, the holiday during which even the mildest and mousiest librarians and church ladies unleash their inner hoochies, strutting out into the cool autumnal night wearing the micro-mini skirts and the thigh-high “Pretty Woman” boots.

“Why Ms. Gildersleeves, the Manolo had no idea that you had the Harley-Davidson tattoo in that particular place.”

However, far be it from the Manolo to dampen your enthusiasm for “cutting loose” and appearing in public as the sexy housewife, “June Cleavage”, wearing nothing but the garter belt and flowered apron.

Thus the Manolo would recommend to his witchy friend the Butane by the Charles David as being the suitably eerie black boot, one that would undoubtedly help her place many men under her spell.

Dear Manolo,

Rachel

Manolo says, to the Manolo this it sounds like the set up for the dreadful romantic comedy.

You know the sort; the boyfriend’s stern-but-essentially-sweet father is known to all as “Daddy Frank”, and the mother is the sassy-but-wise southern lady enacted by the Sally Fields. Add in the fat boyhood friend named Bubba, the pining old flame Ashley Sue, and the usual assortment of the wacky-but-loveable relatives, played with stereotypical broadness by the well-known character actors, and you have all of the elements of the perfect Matthew McConuaghey/Jennifer Anniston flop.

Happily, life is not so predictable, and the Southerners, like everyone else, are much more complex and interesting than the usual stereotypes allow.

So the Manolo would tell you to relax and be yourself, although, he would also tell you to somewhat moderate the edgy, New York hipster all-black with something more lady-like, perhaps like this playful Mary Jane style wedge from the Cordani, which would look good with either the pants or the skirt.

****

It all started on Beacon Hill in the heart of Historic Boston, when Allyson and Michael learned the importance of comfortable shoes while walking up and down the cobblestone streets and alleys of this charming bit of America.

After months of blisters and aching feet, Allyson decided to take matters into her own hands and design a collection of shoes that are stylish and fashionable, and yet comfortable enough to work, walk and play in.

And what better place to look than in the country of Michael’s heritage – Italy, where shoemaking has become an art form – where resources in leathers and materials are unparalleled.

For over ten years Cordani shoes have been providing women with the highest quality shoes that successfully fuse fashion with comfort. Their shoe experience was born in Italy, where they learned to choose the richest materials and design shoes that always make your feet feel as good as they look.

The original Cordani shoe collection emphasizes fashionable and chic wedges and platforms. Their shoe bottoms are carefully designed to provide even weight distribution to allow you to work or play all day long. The curved lines of the under-soles give you a “rocker-effect” which gently propels you forward as you walk. The simple, understated designs offer you endless options to wear with all of your casual outfits.

So indulge yourself with comfort and pamper you feet…Italian style with Cordani shoes.

Dear Manolo,

Lulu

Manolo says, unless you are the Spanish grandee, French Musketeer, English privateer, or leggy under-30-year-old model it best to steer your ship clear of the historical drama signified by the over-the-knee boot.

They are so difficult to carry off well without the plumed hat and cape and/or the banging body. And it so easy to go wrong with them and end up looking like the extra on the set of the all-midget remake of “The King’s Strumpet.”

But, yes, this year marks the return of the over-the-knee boot, and if you must invest in this trend the Manolo would tell you to wait until later in the fall to see just how popular the look has become. Very popular, it will persist for the year or two. Not so popular, doomed by Spring.

Here is the 5050 flat Stuart Weitzman over-the-knee boots, perfect for wearing with the black tights.

Stuart Weitzman has long understood that a great shoe is about more than either form or function. It is about making a woman feel beautiful. For more than 30 years, Stuart Weitzman has been devoted to making this exact experience, devoted to making shoes that caress, adorn, and adore a woman’s foot; shoes that spark her imagination and thrill her soul.

Stuart Weitzman makes over 600 different styles of shoes each year, inventing new shapes and silhouettes, finding and utilizing the most expressive adornments, and constructing the most comfortable fit. His whimsical sense of style makes his shoes playful, sexy, and beautiful.

Find out what so many women already know, that nothing is a fun or as beautiful as a Stuart Weitzman shoe.

This years hottest trend is Stuart Weitzman over the knee boots like the 50/50 and the Zipup, boots that capture the zeitgeist of the moment and on the cutting edge of style.
