AIBU to show you these shoes? (Facebook selling shite)

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 think they are all gorgeous and brilliantly snazz up all outfits. I've never had them myself because I am not a snazzy person with bright outfits but I do love to look at them.

I love IC shoes, have always admired them but never owned them - I just can't justify spending that much on shoes no matter how much I adore them.

GoulashSoup · 16/10/2016 08:42

I had these IC shoes as my wedding shoes, I have worn them loads since and they make me happy. That said this was 7 yrs ago and there is not much on their site I would wear now but I do think some of them are quite fun just not me.

I spotted a pair in the window of our local charity shop last week, they were brown silk with chocolates on the front, they were £16.99.
I thought they were hideous.

I love Irregular Choice shoes - I have a couple of pairs. Very expensive yes but well made and different. I got mine in the sales though.

allnewredfairy · 16/10/2016 11:54

I've never heard of these before but a quick peek at their site and I quite like them. OP's pair though look like someone's had too much to spend in Hobbycraft.

SinglePringle · 16/10/2016 13:28

I've yet to see a single pair of IC shoes I like. And I have a lot of shoes (and not a single pair of plain black from Next or Clarkes...)

Maudlinmaud · 16/10/2016 13:36

I have IC cat boots. They are really cute.

PaulDacreCuntyMcCuntFace · 16/10/2016 13:46

I love IC shoes. I like the fact they are different. Everyone has different taste - I think that Radley and Michael Kors are bloody naff, but I'd never say that to someone holding one of their bags. Horses for courses and all that.

HmmmmBop · 16/10/2016 13:52

I'm with you Paul, on every count.

YuckYuckEwwww · 16/10/2016 14:49

I like the fact they are different.

they're about as "different" as shabby chic and a quirky print from Boden

IC are "different" in a very "samey" MC way

cantpickusername · 16/10/2016 17:32

Wow, you certainly learn something new everyday!

I genuinely thought they were homemade. Sorry about the "OP fail" Blush

I paid about £130 for my latest IC's and love them. Did buy new though
Her asking price is a lot of second hand but I am on various FB sites that sell them and people will pay that.. so.. no harm in her trying

alltoomuchrightnow · 16/10/2016 17:36

A lot for secondhand, rather...

NerrSnerr · 16/10/2016 17:41

I'm not keen on most IC shoes. They do scream 'look at me I'm so different' even though they're not unique. I imagine people who wear them tell others that they're as mad as a box of frogs.

PrimalLass · 16/10/2016 17:46

This. I think they are all hideous.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 16/10/2016 17:54

In the words of Pamela from G and S "Oh my Christ!!" Shock

I like the wedding ones but the others are truly hideous!

TheBakeryQueen · 16/10/2016 17:55

I love Irregular Choice shoes, they're really comfy!

TheBakeryQueen · 16/10/2016 17:57

And I don't think I'm mad, they sell them in Schuh, so definitely mainstream.

TheBakeryQueen · 16/10/2016 17:58

I actually dress really boringly, jeans and tshirts and flats on the school run.

SouthWestmom · 16/10/2016 18:34

To be fair op, I have seen similar 'customisation' attempts.

And those do look quite home made.

Twirls feet in blue ice cream cone type IC shoes....

coughingbean · 16/10/2016 19:01

These were my wedding shoes. Custom made.
I have a feeling they will not be liked on this thread Grin

Wouldnt it be a dull world if we all liked the same stuff?
Personally I love IC.

BieneBiene · 16/10/2016 19:44

My wedding shoes.

SuramarMom · 16/10/2016 19:50

I'm with you op.

Looked on the website and they ALL look like they should be featured in a what the fuck facebook shite thread 😂

I'm 😮 at the prices people apparently are willing to pay for something that looks (badly) homemade!
