So I've been waiting and waiting to purchase a pair of stunning designer shoes. We cruised on down to Mount Street in the hope of purchasing a pair of Loubies. Har har. Everything they say is true - service was lacklustre (see how lovely and polite I am). We exited smartly after trying on half a dozen pairs, and went straight to Nicky K's. Ah! love the window display - lots of eye candy there. His pieces are more "art" and less "shoe". They're structured, exciting, innovative, combining a variety of influences, textures, materials. I wanted to try a whole lot of shoes on but the very first pair were made for me. I LOVE THEM!! The young Irish saleslady was sweet, cool and helpful but enthusiastic in the right dose. It was more than I'd hoped for :: thanks Nicholas K. You deserve all the awards that have come your way - gorgeous, exciting shoe design!! read more
