Is it me, or...

[voiceofnoreason]

Is it me or are pointy toed heels back in this winter?

How do my fashion focussed ladies feel about it? Is it a good thing? I bought these t'other day and they are yummy but they are pointy toed, have i made a faux pas?

black suede

[LaBelleFrotheur]

Well, they are pointy yet rather elegant...

I've seen a lot of pointys in magazines so I guess they may be back. Hope so - I've got loads of them.

[voiceofnoreason]

Belle.

Thanks - not just me then, I have a few as well - but worry that all my stylish almond toe and round toe heels are desperately old fashioned now.

[LaBelleFrotheur]

Ah but they'll be back!

I'm awaiting the return of the square toe just for one particular, treasured pair of slingbacks.

[voiceofnoreason]

Oooh the square toe? where did that go? I have none of these - but havent seen them for ages.....i would wear them anyway

[LaBelleFrotheur]

That's what I thought until I got them out... I think I'll wait , it's not like I have a shortage of black slingbacks.

I've got some great pointys too! One pair in particular are perfect for work. Fingers crossed that we're right.

[voiceofnoreason]

oh go on - do tell me more - are they ever so glam? Glad you liked mine. DH rolled eyes and tutted - apparently i have lots of suede shoes.. fool.

[whoneedssleepanyway]

did pointy toes go away...i am way out of touch...

nice shoes OP.

[BulletWithAName]

Well, if they are, I won't be wearing them, they're vile! Love my round toed shoes

[Thumbwitch]

I lurve pointy toe shoes.
I have huge feet and round toed anythings look like small barges so I refuse to buy them - hideous things!
I can buy square toes IF they look like they were going to be pointy but then the point was cut off; but the big clompy square toes also look like barges (or aircraft carriers) and are equally a no-no.

[voiceofnoreason]

Thanks WNS. They are rather yummy - i hadnt seen any like this for ages and then a load come along so I thought, they must be coming back! Most of my wardrobe consists of round toes at the moment but i have plenty of pointy lurking at the back

[LaBelleFrotheur]

They are old vintage Chanel (oooh, get me) and are mostly black fabric with a metallic (bronze-ish) toe and strap (more slingbacks). They have a tiny pearl detail with minuscule interlinked 'C' logo on (you'd need a magnifying glass to see it) and have a kitten heel. They sound ghastly but they just work. They were bought in wealthier times ie before the child!

[LaBelleFrotheur]

And, your DH must surely know you can never have enough suede.

[voiceofnoreason]

oooh get you! but kitten heel? Glad to hear they just work!

[voiceofnoreason]

agree - you can never have too much suede

[voiceofnoreason]

Thumb? What is huge? I take a 7 and agree that very round toes look like barges. But some are nice - they do need a heel tho!

Bullet - whats wrong with both ;-)

[Thumbwitch]

7 1/2 - 8 depending on style. I can't wear high heels - no more than 3" or I fall over - and can't wear stilettoes at all, I need the heels to have some width, even if it's only 3/4". I have pathetic ankles :(

[voiceofnoreason]

Thumb - i feel for you! I lurve my heels but they wreck my ankles! HAving said that some nice chunky heels in the shops at the moment - Dune have a load that are lovely

[Thumbwitch]

A few years ago I bought a pair of Marco Tozzi boots that are like these but without the zip and embellishments - the heels are brilliant because they are wide enough not to wobble but look thin from the side. (Mine only cost £29, mind you ). I lurve them but can't walk far in them

[MissBeehiving]

Points are back and kittens are in too. Or so says Grazia

[MoreSenseThanMoney]

I'm so happy about this - I love points. It's been really hard to find them in the last few years.

Topshop have some lovely pointed suede flats at the moment - I'm going to stock up!

[LaBelleFrotheur]

voiceof, completely agree re kitten heels. They are an abomination. And I find it harder to walk in them than real hills. Bizarre that I even wanted them, let alone still love them.
