When we first clapped eyes on Stefano Pilati’s spring 2009 footwear, we weren’t too sure… then we got used to the cage shoe and before we knew it, we were looking for inexpensive alternatives.

And now? We’ve fallen for a softer, much flatter version. These suede pumps from Belle by Sigerson Morrison won’t exactly keep the feet dry so we might have to wait until we see a sign of the sun again before we can come up with an excuse to purchase them, but they’re bound to be much more comfortable for our tootsies.
