Are pointy shoes a thing again?

Or did they never go out of fashion?

I’ve spent a few years in just trainers and round toes. I have wide feet so they were comfy but I spotted these on ASOS and really like them.

Any opinions??

They're really nice. I've been wearing pointy shoes to work since the summer. My fat legs look ridiculous in round toes.

Pointy toes give me clown feet :(

Go for it, they are lovely. Pointies are always more flattering than round toes I think

Hmm. My feet are very grateful that for many years I had to wear a very dull sensible uniform shoe. Twas annoying at the time, but. Can't see me going this way, however elegant they look.

I bet the people who like pointy toes have smaller feet than me.

I've got quite a few pointy flats and they're all very comfortable. I love 'em. I'm a size 7 Muddy, so fairly large of foot!

I’ve got a size 5.5 foot. Which means sometimes I have to size down to 5, sometimes up to 6. I liked buying ‘juniors’ trainers in 5.5 but starting to want to upgrade a bit.

I've always like pointed shoes and wore them when hardly anyone else did. Theyre much more flattering on my short, chunky legs!

They are nice shoes

I like pointy shoes as I have pointy feet Grin - I have a second toe that's longer than my big toe by a fair bit and that seems to make them fit my narrow feet better!

Have always loved them but recently have been doing a brogue thing.

Better in leather or suede though.

I have "Greek toes" and pointed shoes are no good as they squeeze the toes from the sides.

I really like those. I wore pointed flats last summer, I think they look fab with a bare ankle.

I have small feet and pointy toes balance my huge legs!

They look fine on my feet. I just can't walk in them, which makes them somewhat redundant.

Who the hell is going to see your feet to care?

Pointy shoes are dreadful for your feet, anyhow. Treat them well.

We all need as much cheer as possible at the moment

Not if they are flats and fit well. I have wide fit pointy toes shoes from M&S (few years old now) and they are supremely comfortable, no toe squashing required!

Are they bad for your feet if you have pointy feet Grin

The assumption that everyone has the same shape feet is rife in society. It's such a burden Grin

Seriously round end shoes are often uncomfortably as to get them to not hurt my long second toe, I have to get larger than I need, and my feet are narrow so it's even worse.

Some people just enjoy telling others off Grin they should walk a mile in my shoes Wink
