Tell me where to find these shoes!

Saw these shoes in an ad on Facebook. Can anyone tell me where they came from/who designs them/where to buy them?
Sorry for the tiny image, but I've searched everywhere online and can't find any other information or pictures.

Best answer: Actually, if you look at the third photo here, isn't that it, in the middle? The shoe is Spikette by Ruthie Davis, for the Spring 2011 collection. Bloomingdale's carries it in gold, maybe other colors, for $1395.

Best answer: Here it is in the yellow-and-pink colors.
I've been seeing the same Facebook ads, and I think I'm going to make myself a pair! You can buy those metal studs loose online, and I bet a bit of heavy-duty glue would hold them on... just a thought, if you don't have a spare $1000 kickin' around!

Two stud/spike sellers: Studs and Spikes; Angry, Young and Poor.

i wouldn't glue the studs. glue doesn't hold them for any appreciable amount of time. you might be able to glue them to the stem, but you'll probably have to replace them a lot. for the actual back of the shoe, buy the spikes and a leather punch and do it right.

These look similar too, in metallic. They are Sam Edelman Lorissa Peeptoe Spiked Stud Heels, and though the spike pattern on the heel is different than Ruthie Davis, they are only $200.

Poking around on that site, I see that some of the studs have screw backs. It might work to use those and then cover the inside with padding of some kind.
