Black Patent Platform Heels, Well Worn, £25

Black patent platform courts with a stiletto heel, and they have been out far more times than they should have been. These were my going out shoes and they look it. The patent is scuffed across both toes, there are marks up the sides where they have been in and out of taxis, and the heel tips have worn down on the outer edge because of how I walk in them. Every one of those marks is a night out you were not invited to. The insides are where the value is. Bare feet, every single time, in patent that does not breathe, for six or seven hours at a stretch. Nightclub floors, spilled drinks, standing about in the cold outside, then straight back on again a fortnight later without ever being aired out properly. Sent exactly as they are. Nothing cleaned, nothing sprayed, nothing tidied up. Size 5 UK. Worn regularly for around two years.
