Shoes from Wild Nappa

Change. That’s what I’m looking for this year. I’m tired of my old look, highlights and all. Two months into the new year, I’m still a regular at the treadmill. And, for my legs, I’m looking at Mona Kalro for a makeover.

Don’t get me wrong: She’s no godmother with a magic wand — more like a footwear designer with a magic imagination. Her label Wild Nappa promises to bring out the long, tall Sally in the shortest frame. The heels may be three inches tall but come packed mile-high with attitude and style.

The faux leather tie-backs with a D-buckle transformed me from feel-shorty to feel-leggy. A pair of royal blue stilettos livened up my demure black dress and brought out my inner siren. And slinky flat thongs showed off my French pedicure on a Sunday brunch with friends. But the pairs that I reeeeeally drool over are the leopard-print slingbacks and the Roman sandals with knee-high tie-ups.

The best thing about the Wild Nappa footwear? Most models come with specially cushioned insoles and toe-boxes that guarantee you could spend hours in them, dancing or walking, without worrying about shoe-bites and pinched toes.

Go ahead, walk on air.
