It’s tempting to do slight reduxes to popular designs, especially when you’re a label that has been having financial difficulties and needs all the hyped buyers it can to remain afloat.

Alexander McQueen‘s Faithful bootie burst upon the scene in FW09, and new versions are still appearing – most recently a tweed version, colored suede and the shearling beast you see to the right.

A winter effect on a high heeled and peep toe boot sits incredibly oddly on this boot, and ends up with a terrible visual effect.  If you’re curious, this bootie is $1,245 per pair.
