I have to admit, I find myself fascinated by Marni’s rubber pumps. These avant-garde Mary Janes are all about contrast: Contrasting textures (matte vs. shiny), contrasting materials (rubber vs. leather) - and I love the way the vibrant colors pop, from the marine green of Cypress to the muted wine of Aubergine. And fear not, their leather insoles should prevent Sweaty Foot Syndrome, while a metal rod in the heel ensures that you’ll stay upright (phew!). Would I actually wear these $435 heels, if given the chance? I would definitely try them out - hey, as far as weatherproof footwear goes, they certainly beat rain boots, right?
