India? Is this you?

Oh dear, I had a pair of shoes very similar to these as a child in the late 90s. Didn’t realise I wasn’t a real woman.

There isn’t a thing about that photograph that isn’t rank. The legs, the feet, the shoes, the composition.

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 21/03/2023 09:50

I mean, they look wipe clean. Which is a plus point if they are for what I think they are for

Is this an anti-trans thread?! It's near impossible to avoid them on here!

MandyMotherOfBrian · 21/03/2023 10:15

God, I love a weird shoe. I did open this thread half wondering if it would be a pair I already own (I don’t, yet 😂).
I think they look better in other colours though…

My legs are pale and hairy at the moment. Didn’t realise it was obligatory for women’s legs to be tanned and smooth.

How on earth is this an anti-trans post? You could only call this an anti trans post if you knew that the wearer was trans - you don't. The shoes are fucking ugly, that's pretty much it. The gender of the wearer is completely irrelevant, although the hairy legs aren't helping to make them anymore attractive.

I may be being old fashioned, but the pale, hairy, rather masculine-shaped legs suggest that smart young ladies are not the target market.

😂

What do "real women" wear? I thought the point was that people should be free to wear what they choose?

The important thing here is to make fun of/deny the validity trans women, you missed the memo🙄

PinkFrogss · 21/03/2023 10:35

I do quite like them in pink actually BlushGrin

Sunriseinwonderland · 21/03/2023 10:43

Are they inflatable?

Tattooname · 21/03/2023 10:43

They're listed as unisex anyway - from a quick look at the website, lots of the shoes are available in both the men's and women's sections. I am strangely tempted by the light blue ones.

MrsSkylerWhite · 21/03/2023 10:45

are they made of play-doh?

Glad you said that as I thought I needed new glasses. 😁

Sigh.

🤮🤮🤮With the hairy legs!! So gross.

but it seems a lot of the posts are about the legs being male because of the hair. Women have hairs in their legs, a lot get rid of it, but some don’t. Doesn’t make those that don’t any less feminine. My brother shaves his legs as he was a triathlete and he prefers it. Doesn’t make him any less of a man. Jeez, thought we’d got over all this gender stereotype nonsense.

Againstmachine · 21/03/2023 10:56

You only have to look at what trash people buy, Yeezy stuff looks rank but people buy it.

WarningToTheCurious · 21/03/2023 10:57

Also available in calf scour brown.

LadyOfTheCanyon · 21/03/2023 10:57

I think you missed the mark here OP

I'm as GC as they come, but what is your objection here?

That they're ugly - yes I think they are but I've seen worse.

That the legs are hairy? If it's a woman she's entitled to have her legs as hairy as she likes, surely. And if you're saying it's the unholiness of the hairy legs that's an issue then either you're not a very good feminist or think that Transwomen should also shave their legs.

But they're a man's legs? Well yes, but a man can wear whatever shoes he likes - that's at the very core of GC feminism, right? That we have no objection to men wearing traditionally ' feminine' apparel and that if they did that rather than go full on LadyDick we'd have less problems.

WarningToTheCurious · 21/03/2023 10:58

And also with the white sports socks combo.

  • not sure where the word unholiness came from, ignore that!
