Wedgey trainers - may be about to make a big mistake!!!

Ok, I have completely fallen in love with a pair of wedgey trainers in Russell & Bromley & I am about to blow all my birthday money (sounds like I'm 10!!!) on them.
Just before I do, have any other shops got wedged trainers for sale?
Please don't make barf comments if you don't like wedgey trainers because I don't care. I am besotted by them - it is true shoe lust!! Wink

unique= awful in terms of shoes.

You will look like sarah jane honeywell.

MrsBadger · 19/04/2006 14:01

Go in and try them on.
See how ghastly they make your feet and legs look.
Then you won't want them any more.
Problem solved!

OH GOD NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Sorry, Bugsy, but those are some of the fugliest shoes I've seen in a long, long time.

MrsBadger · 20/04/2006 09:50

oh, golly, didn't realise they were so Eighties. Very Kids from Fame.
What colour had you seen?

oliveoil · 20/04/2006 09:51

horrid

spice girls springs to mind

sorry

satine · 20/04/2006 09:51

Yikes! Sorry, don't like them. But then I won't be wearing them, so you go for it, girl! Would be a very dull world indeed if we all wore nice safe Boden stuff.

satine · 20/04/2006 09:52

And that music from the shoe website won't go away now!

expatinscotland · 20/04/2006 09:53

Not only fugly but also that big tacky 'R' on them.

They're tragic.

Have visions of myself skipping into the playground and bursting into "I wanna live for ever.....baby remember my name...." or "Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want ...."
Couldn't they be considered "retro-cool"? Grin
