Because my recent obsession with shoes doesn’t seem to be abating anytime soon, here’s another pair I tried out yesterday at Paragon for your consideration. An attempt by the Italian house to be fresher, edgier and more appealing to the young at large (and the young at heart), the Salvatore Ferragamo Running Style Sneaker is certainly all that, and more.

And in this case, more comes in the bonus that the heel’s at least an inch thick, which will give those vertically-challenged amongst you that added boost as far as your height is concerned. The front part of the sneaker is also curved upwards at the bottom, which also gives you the feeling that you’re standing taller than everyone else, if that even makes sense. Don’t take my word for it; try it out for yourself at the boutique and see if it does indeed bring you to new heights.

Priced at SGD820 in Singapore (you’ll find this pair at Paragon), LUISAVIAROMA also has calfskin leather or suede variations in different colour combinations for you to choose from, priced at around SGD590 a pair.
