Blatantly placemarking so I can come back to this later.

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…

They look much better on the woman than the bloke.

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

To be fair they're probably something Sam smith would wear. #unholy

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

I’ll take it👍🏻 I saw these beauts on a SM advert and believe it or not I didn’t actually notice the short legs as I was too outraged by the shoes😅 They look like a melted Parisian Metro sign 😆

I wish camper would go back to making beautiful pod like shoes in buttersoft leather circa early 2000s. Nice everlasting polishable shoes that get better with age and make you look like a Danish architect. No big camper labels, no weird shit, no nasty plastic bits , just gorgeous dreamily comfortable genderless Spanish-made shoes in muted tones with beautifully molded high quality rubber soles. Trippen also. Their designs too are now veering into lunacy. Even camper classic designs are shoddily made. And if someone could sort the sizing also, that’d be great . El naturalista too.
There was once a time you could walk into a camper store and desire every item because they were all just so very wearable and exquisitely manufactured. Not any more.

I agree. I had some lovely patent dove grey, round toe t bar sandals with a small wooden heel and gorgeous dark grey leather lace up shoe boots from Camper. Wore them both until they fell apart.

I still have some tan leather open toe sandals with a little red rubber block heel and red laces securing them around the ankle. I love them.

Nowdays I rarely see anything i would wear from them.

Mr Monkey still has some of their "Cornish Pasty" shoes.

Who'd wear them? Someone with the temerity to have a different opinion from you maybe? How very dare they!

SiobhanSharpe · 21/03/2023 19:32

They are clunky, ugly and deeply unflattering to the foot.

onetimenamec · 21/03/2023 19:33

Grayson Perry? 😂I once had a shoe emergency when staying at an upmarket ski resort. When I finally found some shops there was nothing normal. Strange emerald and bright purple leather monstrosities costing £100s each.

Ofcourseshecan · 21/03/2023 19:42

Do they float? If so, they could double as emergency floats for incompetent canoeists.

I don't think they are too bad, they actually look quite comfortable- I could give examples of far worse footwear. This, for example.

Is it just because it's a man wearing heels and you are uncomfortable if people wear clothes or footwear that are contrary to gender stereotypes?

I'm in agreement. Not my thing but I wouldn't say they were hideous. As heels go they look quite comfortable.
BTW, many younger woman are now 'owning' their hairy legs. Just take a look on TikTok. Yes they are pretty hairy but are we wrong to assume they are male legs. I've been quite surprised by this new 'trend' to realise just how hairy some women are.....a sizeable proportion! The taboo has been lifted

TheChosenTwo · 21/03/2023 19:51

Regardless of who’s wearing them those are some seriously minging shoes, absolutely vile. Ugly shoes seem to be all the rage recently, I’m struggling to find anything I like at the moment, everything is just so so horrible!

Why are you all so bothered by these shoes! I can guarantee in a few years some watered down version of these will find it's way onto the shelves of your local sainsburys TU section and you will lap em up. It happens allll the time“

Er, no.

Are they inflatable? Genuine question.
