DescriptionRose shoes in red suede with green painted metal sculpted stiletto heel in rose stem shape and red suede petal counter, open sided pumps with pointed toe

Label Text:The stiletto heel was developed in the mid-1950s and rapidly became popular. Its tall, slender design lengthened the leg and made it appear shapelier, an effect enhanced by pointed toes. The rose motif of these striking stiletto-heeled pumps alludes to beauty and romance.
