See Manhattan On Your Feet: Whom You Know Highly Recommends Silvia by Pas de Rouge!! Amo Le Scarpe Italiane!!!!
Recently Peachy Deegan was at her favorite Italian restaurant, of course Serafina, where she saw Movers and Shakers Vittorio Assaf and Fabio Granato and she was so excited to tell them about her newest Italian obsession which rivals their lobster spaghetti (except you don't eat it): Pas de Rouge. You have been hearing Peachy exclaim "Amo Le Scarpe Italiane!" ever since the fabulous Italian shoe events a couple of weeks ago, and we are pleased to present the very first Italian shoe for review since.
We are always looking beyond the surface, which we have been told distinguishes us from other publications, so of course Peachy with her ten million and one questions about everything had to know where the name came from. Of course Pas de Rouge is french for no red. The meaning behind this is that it is a play off the linings that do not bleed on to the foot due to its fantastic quality.
The word fantastic does not do justice to the level of quality employed in the overall engineering of this shoe. It is light. It is functional. It is a shoe you can walk in like a sneaker in terms of comfort. It is comprised of premium suede. AND, IT IS GORGEOUS.
Of course in a perfect world we would only wear gorgeous shoes, and also Peachy Deegan would wake up looking gorgeous too (this does happen on some days!) however, the reality is that the world is not perfect and most shoes that are gorgeous kill your feet, leaving you crippled with pain and blisters. So sometimes we wear comfortable shoes that are not as gorgeous as Pas de Rouge, but those days have met with a startling halt. Smart AND Beautiful, Silvia by Pas de Rouge, we love you. So, we wore you to Serafina! We would have fed you lobster spaghetti but did not want you to get dirty. The very cool strappy geometric design had us at hello, and the open toe is fun but definitely recommended for inside only in Manhattan this time of year.
