They are rather ugly (sometimes an ugly shoe is kind of nice) and don't do anything for his thin pale legs.
Perhaps the pink ones would look better on this model.

BotterMon · 21/03/2023 15:43

As they're Camper shoes surely the sole and heel is to prevent the wearer walking in water/urine in camping site loos and showers? Can't see any other reason for them.

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…

Oh dear lord, you’ve won the internet today!😆

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.

Get a grip🤨

I’m saying the shoes are truly horrid. I don’t give a shiny poo who is wearing them or what their legs looks like.

Also available in calf scour brown.

These are very special in poo brown 💩💩

I think they're aimed at transwomen and meterosexual men, not transmen, though I don't think they'd look nice on anyone. The flat sandals that CatsPyjamas17 linked to are much nicer in my opinion.

Lockheart · 21/03/2023 16:03

They're very far from my taste, but who cares?

It's clear a lot of posts on this thread are just "eww-ing" and vomit-emoji-ing because it's a male wearing heels.

Which I suspect was the intent.

Bleach my eyes.
Transman with no understanding of what real women wear?

I'd never wear some of the footwear that some real women wear. Well, other real woman or am I not a real woman? Very confusing all of this.

Maybe if people could just wear whatever they wanted irrespective of their sex so many wouldn't feel out of sync with their gender.

YearsOfStagnation · 21/03/2023 16:03

Ugly shoes are ‘in’ these days.

If you hate these, but own any Birkenstocks, Crocs or Ugg boots, you haven’t got a leg (or shoe) to stand on.

All of this. The shoes themselves are ugly but I've seen worse, and if they're Camper then presumably at least they're comfy.

BadForBusiness · 21/03/2023 16:08

Now these, these are some properly ugly shoes.

LadyOfTheCanyon · 21/03/2023 16:23

Oops apologies meant to add a reply which was - of all the many many images that Camper have of this shoe you picked one of the few that show it being modelled by a man

I'll happily take a firm hold of a grip if you'll take my "sorry for being disingenuous" card

LaurieFairyCake · 21/03/2023 16:36

DH would look REPULSIVE in those - he's got hideous feet and a unisex sandal with a high heel would genuinely make my stomach turn

I think men have ugly feet - probably best hidden away rather than draw attention to them

Much like a jock strap... that can stay hidden too

MysteryBelle · 21/03/2023 16:53

The strap looks like a snake slithering over the foot and around the heel, in addition to all the other offenses listed by pp.

No matter how nonsensical or foolish or artistically abhorrent, a large portion of the masses will defend this garbage, because they’ve been told to and they always unquestioningly obey their masters, until the cows come home. Or are banned because of same.

StalkedByASpider · 21/03/2023 17:05

I'm clearly in the minority here as I think these shoes are pretty funky and I quite like them 😅🤦🏻‍♀️

Mind you, I don't £120 like them. More £30-40 like them 😅

I just had a nosey around the website. I quite like some of their tall chunky boots but as I have giant hobbit size 8 feet, they're not available in my size. Sad times.

From the title I was expecting it to be these... yours for just $2,500 Confused
