"Well," we thought to ourselves---he he...there is a reason many high priced, luxury footwear brands are moving their production from such European stalwarts as Italy and Spain---to the World Cup destination ---Brazil.
 |
| flats...with upper detais |
BECAUSE 'they' know what they're doing!!!
 |
| these are classics...stacked heel pull on ankle boots with buckle detail |
 |
| wedges on pull-on booties-feminine twist to classic menswear look |
Brazil's CC Corso Como®---is fast becoming a household name-at least to stylish gals wanting well made peds at terrific prices. And complete with upscale crafty details and trims---and breathable soft leather insoles that set the label apart from other contemporary footwear brands.
 |
| equestrian style boots with quilted leather uppers... |
 |
| leather soles-something we see on pricier names-add flexibility |
At the recent media preview-Corso Como delivered on every on trend want it----shoes and boots...
 |
| pretty pumps |
Pumps with twisted leather uppers, high heels and ballet flats with flair in animal/snake prints and a rainbow's worth of colors, kitten heel slide ons, chunky wooden heels, quilted leather knee high boots...
 |
| wear these forever... |
What these pics don't render is the tactile art that is important when deciding what to wear---the quality of the materials are high---and the quality of construction is evident too.
 |
| love these sparkling pumps-lowish heels in a surprising pop of shine-very wardrobe friendly, imo |
 |
| cute- a kitten heel adds elegance to this profile-slightly pointy toe-modern |
The ability to oversee production, Corso Como clearly benefits...and other similarly priced labels---who make their kickers in far flung overseas factories-can't compare. Sorry-we really think there is something to hands on manufacturing!
 |
| solid square heels-work with trousers/skirts and are viable alternatives to thin high heels-for work...a bit of a throwback to the fifties... |
 |
| ballet flats-are not boring in a mix of materials... |
 |
| height and stability-chunky wood heels |
 |
| cozy warm |
 |
| ...of course Corso Como has flip flops!!!! They are from Brazil, after all. |
 |
| nice-travel friendly in pretty prints and leathers...matchy match worthy!!!! |
 |
| actually durable outsoles---unlike some popular brands that practically fall apart after a week's wear |
