we're Obsessed!

As unlikely as it may sound, it was Sesame Street’s Bert who sparked my very first fashion obsession—saddle shoes!—back when I was part of the pre-school set. These booties are more than a pumped up version of that functional footwear; the perforated oxford detailing and re-imagined saddle panels may stir up a whiff of nostalgia, but exit-making ankle zippers and metallic silver cutouts (variations on the style are also available in neon hues) take them past the present and into the avant-garde. Can you tell me how to get to the closest Miu Miu boutique?
