The Olsens Step Up Footwear for Fall

When Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen first launched footwear for their label Elizabeth and James for spring 2009, the line was full of moccasins, d’Orsay pumps, and gladiator sandals. Not so groundbreaking, but it was a start. But a preview of the fall lineup proves they turned over a new leaf, creating shoes actually worth trying on (and potentially buying). The new collection includes laceless boots, exposed-zipper stilettos, and snake-embossed everything, from wedges to boots to flats. Currently they are available for preorder at Saks.com for $285 to $465. Would you buy them? [FabSugar]
