Cult Classic

I’m obsessed. I’ve been obsessed with a lot of things in my day – Brad Renfro, designer denim, perfume, Apollo 13 – but that’s ancient history. My newest obsession is Jeffrey Campbell shoes. I know obsession sounds really extreme and kind of psycho, but I what else can you call it when every idle moment on the Internet is spent on solestruck.com deciding which pair shoes I am going to buy next. This is a daily occurrence and very serious.

Let me say that I am kind of practical when it comes to shoes (emphasis on kind of.) I can’t fathom spending the big dollars on crazy-high heels and so my Gucci shoes are runners and my Prada shoes are ballet flats. Get the picture? No Louboutins here (not yet, anyway.) But these…these are another story. They are a mid-price-range shoe with an unbelievable amount of comfort despite their height. I traipsed around Tokyo for nearly two weeks in the 99 TIE, whose heel clocks in at nearly 4”. My next purchase? The Clinic – a 5” behemoth.

Seriously…I think there might be a cult starting for this brand alone. Fans are rabid!
