Stella McCartney's Elyse platform oxfords didn't immediately strike my fancy this fall, but the more I see them on bloggers and celebrities (including the designer herself), the more they're growing on me. I'd definitely describe them as shoes that your boyfriend or husband is highly unlikely to love. On the bright side, they offer a boost of height without the pain of heels. So what's the appeal? Perhaps the mix of a sporty sole, sustainable wood platform wedge, and lace-up oxford upper is both nerdy and unexpected. Snag them right here or shop newer styles and colors for 2019 here if you're up to the designer splurge.
