Shoe in Review: Walter Steiger Muse Platform Pump

I’m in love! Meet the newest family member, Muse by Walter Steiger. These pumps are from the Fall 2012 collection featuring black suede, a 5.5″ heel, platform, tapered toe and my favorite part – the signature claw heel. I was a little worried they would be too big when I opened the box but it was just an illusion from the bow-shaped heel….I took my standard size 37 and they fit perfect.

I love how dangerous they look compared to how comfortable they feel. They’re easy to get on and the gold leather lining/suede is very soft. Even with the tapered toe they don’t pinch. Elizabeth Banks wore the patent leather version during “The Hunger Games’ promotional tour and Tyra Banks was just spotted in them yesterday.

You can find the Muse pumps online at Barneys; available in black, blue, grey suede and in black patent leather.

I had to try these on with black stockings (mostly because Victoria Beckham wore her Oscar boots with them). I love how the claw looks like an extension of the leg. It’s still very much summer here however I put a fun fallish look together. I’m going to have so much fun with these all season!

I’m still not sure if I’ll be heading up for NYFW…however I will be watching the shows thanks to CatwalkLiveTV:

One of the first people I started following on Twitter years ago was Roz. She’s an avid shoe lover and all around amazing. Roz created CatwalkLive.TV a couple seasons ago which helps you keep track of live streaming runway shows during fashion month (NY/London/Milan/Paris). They also feature all known links for each show and now there’s also a mobile version and live streaming alerts.
