I love my Gap x Pierre Hardy platform sandals, and I nearly bought last year’s towering pirate boots.

So it’s no surprise this autumn’s peep toe lace-ups are on my “To Buy” list.

The wedges have begun showing up on magazine market pages, and I’m happy to report that they’ll ring in at under $100. Update: Unfortunately, they’re actually going to be $195. (A good lesson to online journos: Always fact check, even if you read it in Vogue.)

Last fall, it seemed that most shoppers had quite a bit of difficulty finding the suede boots.

For some reason, I didn’t. They were available at the Gap right near my old office on lower 5th Avenue. And on the day in October Gap said they’d be there.

The shoes are set to hit stores October 19, according to a Gap rep.
