I have never seen a single pair I've liked - ever.

Am I the only person in the world who doesn't like them?

I don't like them but I don't hate them

Fairylea · 17/04/2013 13:19

Nope. I hate them too. Ugly. Sort of same vein as crocs ugly.

YANBU. They're strangely annoying!

wonderingagain · 17/04/2013 13:22

I love these

Not really. Grin

NewStartInSpring · 17/04/2013 13:22

I once to use a forum where the women lusted after them. I just didn't get it.

But yeah ... I guess hate is very strong word. I'll say intensely dislike instead Grin

howmuch for those shoes? Eek. Horrible!

MissyMooandherBeaverofSteel · 17/04/2013 13:24

YABVVVVVU, I have lots of pairs, and lots of Iron Fist shoes as well, the brighter the better imo.

Ogooglebar · 17/04/2013 13:25

They're a bit too 'look how quirky I am' without being properly quirky or interesting. Even the name is annoying.

Not that I wear interesting shoes!

NewStartInSpring · 17/04/2013 13:25

Missy are you going to kick my shin whilst wearing an IC shoe? Grin

Btw OP did you get out of bed on the wrong side today? Grin

LadyBeagleEyes · 17/04/2013 13:27

Some of them are way over the top, but I do have a couple of pairs that I love.

Lottapianos · 17/04/2013 13:29

I always think they look so beautiful, but I could never imagine being able to wear a pair. I'm a total wimp when it comes to heels - I'm the Queen of Comfortable Shoes! Grin

funkybuddah · 17/04/2013 13:29

I saw a pair that would have been lovely for a wedding, muted gold metalic with cream detailing, not too ott. some are ok.

MissyMooandherBeaverofSteel · 17/04/2013 13:29

I can't actually balance on one leg long enough to kick anyone while wearing them bitter experience but I could start trash talkin' you while wearing my awesome shoes Grin that will teach you.

comedycentral · 17/04/2013 13:30

I have tried them on before...they are really painful!

TiggerWearsATriteSmile · 17/04/2013 13:31

Ugly shoes. Really just ugly.

Fragglewump · 17/04/2013 13:32

I love mine which are very very unlike crocs?!?!? But it doesn't upset me that you hate them - whatever floats your boat! My favourite pair are red suede with gorgeous bluebirds on them. Yum. They are a bit loud so I usually dress them down by slinging on my jeans. Op what shoes do you love???

Sugarice · 17/04/2013 13:32

What about these beauties

themightyfandango · 17/04/2013 13:33

I love them to look at. I bought a pair for my birthday a few years back and took them on a weekend away. Wore them to go to a nearby restaurant, got 200 yards down the road and had to go back to the hotel to change. They were utterly crippling! Tried to wear them in at home but they never stopped being agony. Most uncomfortable shoes I have ever worn. Tragic really, they were stunning.

I think Fairy meant they are in the same category as crocs, not that they look alike.

I have a pair.. look lovely.... crippling to wear. And I can manage some uncomfortable shoes!
Still they look nice in my shoe display cabinet. ...Wink

I'm lusting after these. But bloody out of stock Sad

Some would say they are so boring. But for me it's love Grin

They are rather ugly.

Gerrof · 17/04/2013 13:39

They are the Paloma Faith of shoes. And I don't rate her either.
