This is a beautiful pair of shoes by iconic Finnish designer MINNA PARIKKA.

Minna Parikka shoes are known for their vintage inspired looks, high quality craftsmanship, and whimsical themes. They’ve been seen being worn by many celebrities including Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga. Minna closed her Helsinki shop three years ago and no longer makes shoes, so these are now a rare collectors item!

I purchased these heels in the year 2008 and they have been sitting in their original box inside my closet unworn except for trying them on in the house one or two times. Please see photos for close ups and details of soles showing no use. You can see they also still have the original receipt and care instructions in the box too. The cardboard box has a little bit of wear on the corners which you can see in the photos.

This shoe design is called “Melt” and it features a black suede round toed platform pump with a “powder peach” patent leather accent that looks like it’s melting. The platform is approximately 1 inch high (see photo) and the heel hight is approximately 5 inches (see photo).

These are a EU women’s size 9 and fit a women’s USA size 8.5. I cannot express just how comfortable they are for such a high heel, the high quality craftsmanship really makes them feel very comfortable!
