A Shoe-Dunit

Pops Shoes

Evidence points to the boot with the leggings in the Italian restaurant. But everyone suspects it was the stiletto with the mini in the cocktail lounge.

Of course they’re dead wrong.

The sweet little Pops slipper is the killer — look, that is.

Family owned and operated parent company Versilia Calzature has been crafting shoes in Italy for more than 30 years. Only recently has it turned its long-standing ballet slipper construction into a modern line of street shoes under the name Pops.

The foppish oxfords and loafers are made using soft leathers like sheepskin. Every design is delicate and as easily paired with skirts as pants. A lack of inner reinforcements makes each bendy and comfortable, as well as light.

Consider yourself Clue’d in.
