How do these shoes work?

Just browsing the TK Maxx site when these beauties popped up:

www.tkmaxx.com/uk/en/women/shoes/trainers/black-leather-spiral-wrap-heels/p/77272269

I'm not sure my legs are long enough… are anyones legs long enough?

What holds them up? What do they attach to at the top?

Only 1 pair left! Hurry!

I think you'd need to be a giraffe to get away with those beauties.

Twospaniels · 17/05/2022 20:49

£800 !!!

i suspect once you get them on and the spiral wraps around, they aren’t wuite as tall as your leg thickens so the spiral goes less far (does that make sense?)

someone needs to order these and then show us all what they look like.

wow!

imagining how ridiculous my legs would look in those! Just getting wider and fatter all the way up - nice 😊

Some folk must have more money than sense 😁

Could save wear and tear on your trousers if you had those

Nailest · 17/05/2022 21:07

As in, you wouldn’t need trousers.

Let’s get these instead, half the price and just as mad:

Sometimes I think the fashion industry is just taking the piss.

I get pissed off taking normal socks off, I wold end up going to bed in those rather than unwrap them which would take ages.

MrsRuggles · 17/05/2022 21:15

Look at the original price. Good grief. £799.99 RRP £1,810.00 Save £1,010.01

ErrolTheDragon · 17/05/2022 21:15

You could end up with a really funky suntan. Grin

Enjoy.

Now I’ve seen them on, and in the yellow, I actually love them! But I do work in fashion so swallowed the Kool-Aid long ago.

ICannotRememberAThing · 17/05/2022 21:17

The ‘Y project’ certainly create some ugly shoes!

Crab feet?

You'll need this machine to get them on and off.

MagnoliatheMagnificent · 17/05/2022 21:28

I wonder why there are no pictures of models wearing them.. mad

Andariego · 17/05/2022 21:35

I’m exhausted at just the thought of putting them on tbh, round and round and round…

The one pair left is in my size, maybe it’s a sign? Perhaps we haven’t got the vision stuntbubbles had and they’ll look amazing irl. They look a bit flappy on the model though, like they’ll make an annoying noise when you walk.

It’s a wonder that this thread hasn’t been inundated with the classic long legged MN beauties who eat only one MASSIVE salad a week and are kept going on air otherwise. They’d declare that their legs were too slim even for these and they found they just bunched up to the bottom of their ankles, surely

Andariego · 17/05/2022 21:39

Those crab feet shoes have made me feel a bit queasy

I'd look like two half unwrapped Pilsbury Dough tins in those.

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 17/05/2022 21:44

It'd end up like a Slinky, where a part bends the wrong way and the whole thing never works the same again.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I thought they looked familiar

Oh wow, yes this has nailed it! That’s exactly what I would look like in them too Grin
