A first world problem, I know. I bought these shoes on a whim, but now I'm not sure. When I tried them on at home, DH's eyebrows simultaneously hit the ceiling. Now he's being over complimentary about them, which means he hates them. Are they actually horrible? I'm not sure...

I don't like them at all. Sorry! They'd be much nicer without the weird tassels.

Oh my god, I had some shoes like that back in the 70's Confused

The only important opinion here is yours. Do YOU like them?

They're not my cup of tea but not hideous either.
Depends on what you would wear them with. Sorry, I'm not very useful am I?

Nice enough without the tassels. The tassels ruin them for me though.

Not my cup of tea, but as long as you like them that's what matters

They look uncomfortable. Not keen on the tassels either.

I quite like them, they've got that 70s Mum thing going on. You'll need a denim skirt and a spritz of Charlie.

Thanks all! I always had doubts about the tassels. I shall return them I think!

They are actually surprisingly comfy however!

I don't hate them, I would not personally wear them but I do find them strangely interesting Confused

I think with the right outfit they could look really good.

The most important thing is if you like them. If you don't take them back.

I probably wouldn't buy them but I wouldn't think twice about it if I saw someone else wearing them.

Yes, they're horrible. They say 'I am incredibly dull but desperate to not be'.

I really like them!

And if they are super comfortable that is a massive plus!

I would keep them, they are really nice.

The shape is not nice, the heel is quite ugly stuck on like that and the low cut bit at the front looks wrong. Looks like three shoes stuck together. On the other hand I quite like tassels Blush

Hideous. Absolutely hideous.

I like them. I also like the lace up heel brogues they have too.
I want both.

I like them a lot but my dress sense is, um, not quite everyone's cup of tea.
So my vote for the shoes being rather lovely is probably technically a vote against them.

Oh god the black shiny ones are even worse. Didn't think it would be possible.

I think it would completely depend on how you wore them - I like them a lot (although I've got a bit of a seventies thing going on at the moment!)
