Vivienne Westwood For Melissa: Rubber Soles Go Couture!

High-end jellies aren't new news or anything -- Marc Jacobs' done them for years, and these Vivienne Westwood for Melissa Lady Dragon rubber heels have been around a while (abroad at least), but I love them so much, I had to share:

($149, Vivienne Westwood for Melissa)

Looks like they're a lot easier to buy in Australia, where it's probably nice enough right now to wear them... but I will get Nancy Drew on dat ass and find out how we can get our feets into them here in the States for their Spring 2009 launch!

++ UPDATE! I AM THE (female) JEWISH JAMES BOND! ++

Epaulet in Brooklyn (where Mary-Kate got her Melissa jellies) carries them in pearl:
