These stacked-heel, laced-vamp, beige-grey leather pumps from Alexander McQueen are just plain special. The color is fall-perfect, reminding me a lot of Chanel's sell out Particuliere nail polish. Rugged laces, of the kind that you'd normally find on hiking boots, add a little edge (but not too much) to otherwise quite proper pumps.
These Alexander McQueen pumps are definitely a little more fashion-forward than what I'd usually consider in an investment-priced shoe, but I can't see this stylized take on a classic grey pump going so far out of style as to no longer be useful or spawn buyer's remorse. It's gorgeous, and so splurge-worthy.
