I did have a look for a Facebook selling thread but couldn't find one so had to make a new thread.

Someone has once paid £100 for these shoes! WTAF?

I wore these IC shoes at my wedding. Stupidly didn't keep anything from the day (have even lost my ring) apart from these ghastly shoes and now I feel I need to keep them as some sort of momento from the day. They're the ugliest pair in my wardrobe.

In my defence I was a "quirky" teenager Grin

cosmicglittergirl so did I - mine were fairly tame though, basically the lovely 50s heel shape and glittery.

I love a lot of IC shoes but don't particularly care for the ones that kicked the thread off - not my colours and I thought the bunnies did make them look a bit too homemade.

Bogeyface · 15/10/2016 22:41

I like them!

I once talked myself out of a pair of IC shoes that had fringe curtains between the heel and the sole, only because they were a fucking fortune, not because I didnt love them!

cathaka15 · 15/10/2016 22:42

Love them. Irregular choice are so fun.

IzzyIsBusy · 15/10/2016 22:44

I raise you a unicorn
£30 for this. Bargin.

I bloody love my 20 pairs of Irregular Choice and they might not be to everyone's taste but if we were all the same then life would be very boring! either embrace the bonkersness or carry on buying your shoes from Clarks (zzzzzzzzz) Grin

AngelBlue12 · 15/10/2016 22:46

Those are Irregular Choice, a very sort after brand esp if she still has the box and the pattern on the sole isn't very worn.Wink

cosmicglittergirl · 15/10/2016 22:48

I sold a pair recently too with the box. They have good resale value.
I like them, yes some of them are a bit 'panto dame', but most people have fairly dull footwear so I like the idea of some folk tramping around with unicorns strapped to their feet.

HobnailsandTaffeta · 15/10/2016 22:49

I need to sell my irregular choice shoes now! I have the box and everything, got to be at least 9 years old, worn twice. Any takers!

Bogeyface · 15/10/2016 22:51

Will someone lend me £3000 please?!

I NEED all of the Star Wars collection!

Sallystyle · 15/10/2016 22:51

I so badly want some IC Alice in Wonderland shoes.

HobnailsandTaffeta · 15/10/2016 22:52

I never knew I was sitting on a tiny goldmine thanks OP Grin

I honestly can't imagine who wears Irregular Choice shoes in all seriousness. They are almost faux quirky. Like quirky by numbers. Like wearing that kind of quirky shoe will make the wearer quirky and interesting. You can't buy true quirky.

EricNorthmanIsMine · 15/10/2016 22:54

U2 they are quite fabulous!

StarDiamonds · 15/10/2016 22:55

Hobnails get them sold and buy yourself some decent shoes with the money! On what occasion would you wear those shoes these days? (or any days?)

EricNorthmanIsMine · 15/10/2016 22:56

And some for Bogeyface ... may the force be with you!

Eric The playing card detail is cute, I give you that. But why do they have to make the rest of the shoes so... um... like why is there a bright blue heel on that shoe? Where would you wear shoes like that? What do you wear them with? Out of interest.

EricNorthmanIsMine · 15/10/2016 22:57

StarDiamonds i wear mine every day, to my proper grown up job .. shock horror!!

EricNorthmanIsMine · 15/10/2016 22:57

And the heel is a little Alice ... she's very cute Grin

HobnailsandTaffeta · 15/10/2016 22:58

Hence worn twice, about 9 years ago. I was an ad agency girl, 'twas all about the heels and the quirk, and IC did used to be cutting edge and beautiful. Since they went to Schu et al they have just got daft.

Its all about the grey dresses and sensible shoes these days so I shall off to eBay!

ItShouldHaveBeenJessMass · 15/10/2016 22:58

eric. Now those I would buy....

StarDiamonds · 15/10/2016 22:59

Oh it's a plastic Alice doll in a blue dress as the heel...

StarDiamonds · 15/10/2016 23:01

X posts, Eric, I just looked them up online to see the Alice!

What kind of job do you work in that you can wear shoes like that to? I'm genuinely curious!

Purplefrogshoes · 15/10/2016 23:01

I love irregular choice and have paid more than £100 Blush these are my most recent pair Grin

I had those bunny buttons on a cardigan when I was little.

In the 80's.

I'll let you come to your own conclusion as to whether I like them.
