To ask if you like these shoes?

A first world problem, I know. I bought these shoes on a whim, but now I'm not sure. When I tried them on at home, DH's eyebrows simultaneously hit the ceiling. Now he's being over complimentary about them, which means he hates them. Are they actually horrible? I'm not sure...

I don't like them at all. Sorry! They'd be much nicer without the weird tassels.

montymonty · 30/11/2014 09:15

No.

duckbilled · 30/11/2014 09:15

Sorry they don't do anything for me Blush

WeirdCatLady · 30/11/2014 09:15

Oh my god, I had some shoes like that back in the 70's Confused

The only important opinion here is yours. Do YOU like them?

beeny · 30/11/2014 09:16

Sorry they are horrible.

Concordial · 30/11/2014 09:16

They're not my cup of tea but not hideous either.
Depends on what you would wear them with. Sorry, I'm not very useful am I?

NoSundayWorkingPlease · 30/11/2014 09:17

Nice enough without the tassels. The tassels ruin them for me though.

Janethegirl · 30/11/2014 09:17

Not my cup of tea, but as long as you like them that's what matters

Nervo · 30/11/2014 09:19

They look uncomfortable. Not keen on the tassels either.

Bluestocking · 30/11/2014 09:20

I quite like them, they've got that 70s Mum thing going on. You'll need a denim skirt and a spritz of Charlie.

Thanks all! I always had doubts about the tassels. I shall return them I think!

They are actually surprisingly comfy however!

I wouldn't wear these Hmm

madsadbad · 30/11/2014 09:43

I don't hate them, I would not personally wear them but I do find them strangely interesting Confused

LongDistanceLove · 30/11/2014 09:48

I think with the right outfit they could look really good.

The most important thing is if you like them. If you don't take them back.

Icimoi · 30/11/2014 09:49

I probably wouldn't buy them but I wouldn't think twice about it if I saw someone else wearing them.

fivepounds · 30/11/2014 09:54

Yes, they're horrible. They say 'I am incredibly dull but desperate to not be'.

CheckpointCharlie · 30/11/2014 09:55

I really like them!

And if they are super comfortable that is a massive plus!

I would keep them, they are really nice.

SmellyFartado · 30/11/2014 09:55

No, really do not like them sorry.

NeedABumChangeNotANameChange · 30/11/2014 09:59

The shape is not nice, the heel is quite ugly stuck on like that and the low cut bit at the front looks wrong. Looks like three shoes stuck together. On the other hand I quite like tassels Blush

AlpacaYourThings · 30/11/2014 10:01

Hideous. Absolutely hideous.

youmakemydreams · 30/11/2014 10:05

I like them. I also like the lace up heel brogues they have too.
I want both.

BooDidIScareYou · 30/11/2014 10:10

ooh no. sorry.

SmartiesMakeMeNaughty · 30/11/2014 10:16

I like them a lot but my dress sense is, um, not quite everyone's cup of tea.
So my vote for the shoes being rather lovely is probably technically a vote against them.

bloodyteenagers · 30/11/2014 10:23

Oh god the black shiny ones are even worse. Didn't think it would be possible.

Penguin0fMadagascar · 30/11/2014 10:26

I think it would completely depend on how you wore them - I like them a lot (although I've got a bit of a seventies thing going on at the moment!)
