Can Rubber Platform Pumps Hold Up in the Rain?
Blog hopping brought me over to Celine at The Shoe Girl’s Blog, and she posted some really cute pictures of her and some just-as-cute shoes in her second latest entry:

Yes, she’s playing in the rain in seriously high platform pumps. Those shoes look very unsuitable for rainy weather in these pictures, but wait ’til you see ‘em up close:
As Celine put it, talk about non-slip.
These are the Yves Saint Laurent Trooper Platform Pumps. They’re gorgeous, perfect, beautiful, flawless, and etc. That gold shine on the platforms also looks dazzling when the light hits it, as you can see for yourself in Celine’s pictures above.
But as for traction? Well, put it this way: Celine decided to change out of these babies as soon as the drizzle turned into a downpour.
The good news is that these YSLs are now more than 50% off – from the original high price of $695.00, they’re now a comparatively more manageable $313.00. The bad news is that they’re now out of stock.
So I went looking for some possible alternatives, and here’s what I unearthed:
These are the Brent pumps from BCBG Max Azria. They’re a far cry from the YSLs – they’re not platforms, the gold color isn’t there, and the heels are square stacks instead of stilettos. But they do have the grippy rubber soles. They’re also now only $130.00.
But if you’re coveting the gold platform look more than the rubber sole like I am, then maybe these shoes will work better for you:
Bebe Shoes Baxter Sandal, $189.99
The rubber platform pumps may not hold up very well in the rain, but you gotta hand it to YSL – they look amazing in pictures.
