to say that if Boden want to relaunch...who advertise with such vile shoes

[porcamiseria]

just thinking

you are middle market, and derided for it
you have decided to promote a new more stylish/funky range

then why use a photo of minging plastic looking 80s esque stilletoes????

every time i come on I see the fuckers!!

Oh lord, now you've pointed them out I won't be able to ignore them. They are disgusting.

Oh my god.

horrible, like some "office shoes" I ill advisedly bought from M&S years ago, and have never chucked out

ugh

Ha ha, I hadn't even noticed until you pointed it out...

I think I must have blocked them from my conscious mind.

Because they really are quite vile. And plasticky and 80s.

They just look cheap, like something I might have coveted when I was 16 [in 1989!] and wanting to look old enough to get into the local pub.

Not stylish at all! Big fail Boden

I've been waiting for my sixties skirt for 3 weeks now. Why bother having it in the feckin catalogue of you haven't got any of them? Grrr

I hadn't taken any notice of them up,until now either but now you've pointed them out I have to agree they are extremely ugly.

I think poor Boden has lost its way this season, with the new catalogue photographs being so dark that you can't see the clothes, the same old stuff for boys that's been trotted out for years and those terrible shoes!

My boiled wool coat is going back, shapeless .. So disappointed.

OMG is that a boden ad? i've been thinking wtf every time i've seen those mingers... had presumed it was Clarks or somesuch.

ooooh, it LITERALLY just popped up there. clever old computers...

They are gross.

The Boden catalogue is too dark! I can hardly see the stuff, and ALL the models have their mouths open, apart from Helena and hers is tight shut.

Phew, I've been dying to say that for weeks!

I'd never noticed them before either. You're right, they're vile!

bump!

i'm no S&B regular, but even I know those shoes are right hum-dingers

I haven't seen the Boden one, I've currently got the White Company on my sidebar with a model wearing an OAP's knitted cape Something tells me I'm not going to like next seasons fashions...

The one where she is clutching leaves in a slightly manic way?

I quite like the red shoes...

my daughter bought this next jacket at the weekend
www.next.co.uk/x5044s2

It is actually cream background and sooo nice. Unfortunately too narrow in the sleeves for me that's what you get if you garden all summer

Are we talking about these? I think they're nice, am I horribly unfashionable? shoes

I quite like the shoes - that is vermillion I think rather than the usual cherry red shoe colour you get.
