I've long been a fan of Nicole Brundage's secondary line, Acrobats of God, which she describes as "a way of expressing the extraordinary in the ordinary" and in addition to the 'Sturdy Acrobatics' that she has got going for A/W 10-11, she has grounded and rooted the collection even more with additional styles that form the 'Wood Collection'. I can't really say it any better than words from the Acrobats of God themselves… "The shades of the forest cuddle the chunky heels and the slender wedges; wearing the wood of the trunks." As per the lush imagery below, the anchored shoes from the 'Wood Collection' are definitely meant to be worn with socks – maybe not bright bright socks but I know for a fact Tabio do some muted ones that are ripe for scrunching around the ankle to compliment the shades of blue, taupe and chocolate elastic straps on the shoes (must pop into Opening Ceremony Ace for their 'special' Tabio selection…).
I know Brundages speaks of creating the extraordinary out of the ordinary, but actually I love that these shoes revel in and embrace the ordinary. The signature thick elastic look like they hug the foot even more and the shades of wood and elastics are all deliberately earthy, as though the point was to camouflage the foot in a woodland trail…
Really amazing shoes. They remind me of a pair of Jessica Simpsons I have but only in the fact that they both feature elastic straps.
Love the wedges in the 4th picture…they would have to be my favorite.

Personally, I think the shoes look much better at their website, with the actual richness of the colours.
I suppose for styling purposes, the neutral palette plus the wood grain of the heels and wedges really to emphasizes on the ‘earthiness’ of the shoes.
I love their desciption-“The shades of the forest cuddle the chunky heels and the slender wedges; wearing the wood of the trunks.” Very witty!
