The word victory conjures up many images: Rocky running up a flight of steps, puny Rudy making the tear-jerking sack, you watching a whole episode of ANTM without yelling at the TV.

Another champer to add to the list: Pour La Victoire, a new line of metallic and gem-encrusted shoes. Crafted in super-soft leathers, they’ll add a winning touch to any outfit.

Tower over your competition in the mega-tall, extra-foiled Mary Janes in gold and silver. Intimidate the other team in the patent leather flats in purple or black, accented with three huge rhinestones. Or play underdog in simple and sweet gold round-toe flats, spiced up with a brown canvas bow.

Each pair of shoes carries a classic French name like Colette, Juliette, and Lorraine in honor of their soigné European appeal.

And their reasonable prices won’t clean you out.

Making this a win-win situation.

Available at Sassanova, 1641 Wisconsin Avenue NW, between Reservoir Road and Q Street (202-471-4400).
