To me they're nasty. But maybe they're fashionable the way mum jeans are?

I don't know.

A bit odd looking - like winter shoes that the front's been cut off by mistake.

Personally I don't like them, but then I never liked the cut out trend on clothing either and it's an extension really isn't it. I think with the right outfit you could make them look funky. They might not last long though as will probably date quite quickly as I'm hoping cold shoulder tops will too

Posted too soon, meant to say I have very small fit so look different on me, a bit less 'scoopy'

I've been after a pair like this for a while, the ones I covet have a much higher higher heel, which I can't do.

That's a general 'no' then!

I like them. Prefer the other colours to the black though

Horrid. Very dated.

They have very similar styles in the current season, so I can't work out why they are 'dated' but I know what you mean....

I saw a young, trendy colleague wearing these last week. I'm afraid I thought they were hideous so it wouldn't matter to me how fashionable they are. They also seem really impractical - too clunky for hot weather but the cutouts make them unsuitable to wear with socks in cold weather.

They remind me of styles from the 1990s. It's the heavy heel I think. I don't think I'm quite ready for a 90s revival. But those who are younger and more fashionable than me won't have those issues as they wont remember those styles from the first time around.

Very ugly IMO.

I love them!!! I too have been looking at similar for a couple of summers now! I personally would wear them with a super pretty floral dress and leather jacket! But I realise my taste is my own and some people think it's blooming awful Grin

I was thinking pleated midi, slouchy sweater and leather or bomber....

I think I've either lost my mojo, or getting experimental.....

I'd go with experimental!! And why the hell not?!!! Honestly whatever you decide to wear it won't be to everyone's taste so just own it and enjoy!!

I think they're frumpy, but the young fashionistas at work seem to like them...

I got them today and I really like them, I have very small feet and they look great with skinnies,

The leather is soooo soft.

Thanks for all the opinions, I rarely go against the majority but I'm feeling rebellious Smile

I reeeeally wanted these ones but they were way over budget (nearly 100 quid).

I think the heel height makes them less frumpy, but I can't do heels.
