Higher Ground

Finsk Shoes

Look at you, walking tall.

Perhaps from the re-emergence of your waistline through detox, or that lovely golden tan on your legs.

But nothing will make you feel as high as a pair of Finsk shoes. The range of quirky, sculptural heels hits Topshop Oxford Circus today, and has the precise touch of flamboyance to add some punch to your strut into next season.

Finnish designer Julia Lundsten likens her shoe designs to chairs. With an unconventional style, the pumps, ankle booties, and boots feature heels carved from Finnish birchwood and are customized with an ecofriendly purple dye and leather uppers. With unique shapes, the shoes have received nods from both fashion and architectural gurus.

If that doesn’t build you up, nothing will.

Available at Topshop, 36-38 Great Castle Street, Oxford Circus, W1W 8LG (0207 6367700). To see styles, go to finsk.com.
