Fall Shoe Preview: Tory Burch

If you thought the Reva rage would calm down once the summer ended, think again. Tory Burch’s latest collection is now available on her website and it’s chock full o’ flats. 

I can’t imagine there are many people who haven’t seen Tory’s Reva flats (or one of the many knock-off iterations of it). You know, the ballet flat with the signature gold buckle on the front. I am actually quite indifferent to the shoe. They’re cute and functional enough, but the elastic on the back always stopped me from buying a pair. That, and the fact that everyone has them.

And given Tory’s newest collection, the Reva flats are here to stay (for, at the very least, another season). I was glad to see her playing with new fabrics and textures, though, like houndstooth and calf-hair. I actually considered buying these Ines Pointed Quilted Ballet flats ($250) or these Reva Leopard Print Ballet ($225).

That is, until I saw these Sophie Snake Wedges ($295). At first I scrolled right past them thinking they were Reva, but on second look I realized they were a gorgeous—albeit gaudy—variation. I haven’t tried them on, so I don’t know how they feel, but they’ll look great with wide-leg trousers this fall. And because you can never have too many black pumps, I thought I’d also point out this patent leather Maddie Pump ($295) for a super sophisticated, yet sexy style. This one definitely has winter shoe staple potential.
