Wayne emailed me about these Nine West “Mustsee” cork platform wedge slides, and I’m thinking I “must see” these sandals in person and try them on, as they are definitely my style and height preference! The Nine West Mustsee sandals are available for purchase from Zappos.com and come in an array of colors: Black Synthetic, Bronze Leather (shown above), Brown Leather, Dark Yellow, Light Gold Yellow and Silver Leather.
Easy slip-on construction. Leather upper. Man-made lining. Lightly cushioned man-made footbed. Cork platform and heel. Man-made sole. 2 1/2″ heel. 1″ platform.
I love the platform cork wedge look and the fact that they don’t have the “toady part” thing like flip-flops between my toes. Just thinking about them right now makes me wish I were on vacation somewhere warm with a beach! But no, I’m stuck in the Midwest with huge piles of snow in my yard, and more snow is expected this week with more blizzards in the forecast!
The kids have missed so much school already due to snow days that they’ve begun to tack on extra days at the end of the school year. The kids are already wanting summer vacation to be here and think we need an above ground pool in our backyard. I’m just hoping we some summer sooner than later (so I can start summer shoe shopping)!
