I know that Emanuel Ungaro’s Branch Heel Sandals are extremely unique and awe-inspiring.  They are also $1,055 at Net-a-Porter.

So, I was kind of excited to see these “Martiny” sandals available for preorder at Steve Madden.  They fulfill my desire to have lots of gray straps encasing my foot and they cost approximately $900 less than the Ungaros.  Pretty good, right?  Granted they don’t have the branch heel, but I think they’d be wardrobe favorites anyway.
