A Golden Idea: Shoe Design

I saw this arresting photo during one of my extensive eBay searches:


 A classic pair of platforms with an edge a bit of gold applied haphazardly, as if to suggest a preference for both indolence and decadence. These shoes have the appeal of imperfection.

Of course, I was disappointed almost immediately. What looks like gold leaf is just a reflection of the camera flash on the patent leather. 

But what if it wasn't? So many possibilities.
