VPL by Victoria Bartlett

I ran a couple of miles this afternoon and am tired of running shoes.

Hence a visit to Barneys for some unsensible shoes (senseless shoes?).  These are VPL by Victoria Bartlett.

I like how the suede looks like velvet.  That makes good sense to me.

    There is something elegant about them even as they look like they are collapsing---kind of the boot equivalent of an antique ennui couch. Your associations may vary.

    An ennui couch! Love that term. It's so much more existentially glamourous than a plain old fainting couch.

    Oh, they are chic! But I don't like the name VPL.

    Yes, indeed: agreed about the unattractive acronym.

    Hee! "Ennui couch." 'Can't wait to see how you style up these beauties.

    They provide a lovely, tactile contrast to the utilitarian look and feel of a running shoe.
