Ettinger ミディアム シューホーン - ブラック - £150 D R Harris London

Polished the toe of my oxfords this morning and the leather-wrapped handle felt properly weighted in my hand — a far cry from the flimsy plastic ones I've worn through. It's smooth enough to slip a heel in without catching, and the medium length tucks neatly into my overnight bag.

The polished black finish is exactly what I wanted for my hallway, and it's got a nice weight to it that makes the whole routine feel more deliberate. It's a bit of a splurge, but the leather handle adds just enough grip that I'm not fumbling around in the morning.

The leather grip is so smooth it doesn't catch on my hand at all, and the polished black finish looks almost too nice to leave in the bathroom. It's the perfect length for a quick slip-on without bending over too much, and it's solid enough that I don't worry about it snapping.
