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

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

Every pair I've seen have been minging. I just don't understand the appeal

SkinnybitchWannabe · 17/04/2013 14:56

Ive never heard of them..but wow!
Some are amazing. Wouldn't suit me though.

Branleuse · 17/04/2013 14:57

I have these www.irregularchoice.com/shop/womens/product/3251/future-ladybug-2.html?offset=81

which I love

Jjou · 17/04/2013 14:58

YABVU! I have some that are neither fugly nor uncomfortable! So there. A lot are a bit much though. Except mine. Smile

EhricLovesTeamQhuay · 17/04/2013 14:59

They have made some beauts but they seem to stick to that signature shape which makes things a bit limited from a design point of view. Some designs are utterly mad. For a slightly similar shape but much much less mad (and cheaper) look at Ruby Shoo

LadyBeagleEyes · 17/04/2013 15:02

I love these Branleuse.

FoxyRevenger · 17/04/2013 15:03

Holy Mother of Moly. They are so ugly.

I struggled to find the ugliest. Too many to choose from, but these are in the Top Five.

newstart I am freaked out right now that I know exactly which forum you're talking about Grin I quite like IC shoes but some of them are a bit out there!

Softlysoftly · 17/04/2013 15:10

Some are fugly but the ones I own are beautiful. 5 years old now though! They seem to have slipped into trying too hard now.

However those you linked were godawful op!

LadyBeagleEyes · 17/04/2013 15:13

I'm liking the Ruby Shoo ones too Ehric.Pah, yet another website to waste hours on.
Thanks for that Smile.

TheCraicDealer · 17/04/2013 15:14

I note Foxy that those are a limited edition and that they only have "one pair in some sizes". For some reason they say this like it is a bad thing.

Doodledumdums · 17/04/2013 15:17

Fragglewump I have the red suede bluebird ones, I LOVE them! They are really comfy too.

OP you are being VVVVVVV unreasonable! IC shoes are lovely! I have two pairs and love them both!

IneedAsockamnesty · 17/04/2013 15:17

Some of the older ones are quite nice I've got quite a few pairs but I'm pretty sure I haven't found a pair I like in about 7 years.

But each to their own.

CherylTrole · 17/04/2013 15:18

OMG WTAF so this is the latest "trend"? Bet the owners of this emporium are having a right laugh as they watch the money roll in Confused sitting at their tables with their PVA glue, and crafty stuff, getting high and plotting the next pair of wacky shoes Confused Recession my arse.

snuffaluffagus · 17/04/2013 15:25

Some are RIDICULOUS, but the more low key ones can be lovely. I have those ladybird ones too Bran!
And these are the comfiest heels I've ever had (and everyone compliments them - are they just being nice?)

Lottapianos · 17/04/2013 15:29

They are great snuffaluffagus Grin, love 'em!

Ogooglebar · 17/04/2013 15:32

It's the toes! They're so...bulbous! OP how do you feel, this has turned into more of an Irregular Choice appreciation thread Angry Grin

Doodledumdums · 17/04/2013 15:32

I think it's fine not to like the shoes, that is personal opinion, but i'm not sure it's fair or particularly nice to make judgemental comments about the peoplewho wear them as some people on here have. They are just shoes! I am not trying to be 'out there' or 'different' when I wear them...I just like them!

ShanksYoni · 17/04/2013 15:33

Some are vile, granted, but there are others I love (though the ones I like are the less flamboyant!)

I got married in a pair of IC. Ones with small heels so that I didn't fall over.

StoicButStressed · 17/04/2013 15:35

Ignoramous here never heard of them. So looked.

WTF??!

Ogooglebar · 17/04/2013 15:38

Do you know what? I hadn't seen some of the more insane ones, with rabbits and dolls stuck to them. I'm beginning to have a grudging respect for their creators and anyone with the courage to wear them.

Naebother · 17/04/2013 15:43

Good grief.

They are like an explosion in Claire's accessories..

NewStartInSpring · 17/04/2013 15:45

Hegsy highfive my fellow invisioner Grin

I sadly left the forum last year, tried to rejoin twice and it required an admin to let me join and it just never happened. Shame really as I quite enjoyed it.

There can't be many new people on there either. Do you still use it?

OP posts:
NewStartInSpring · 17/04/2013 15:46

OP how do you feel, this has turned into more of an Irregular Choice appreciation thread

Oooh I think it's still very 50/50 at the moment.

They def are like marmite though.

Hegsy · 17/04/2013 15:48
