I love these but can't decide if they really or as gorgeous as I think they are or extremely tacky!!! Opinions welcomed www.office.co.uk/womens/office/ooh_la_la/37/13135/37153/1?fs=13135

Tacky!

But if you like them, who cares?

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 10/03/2013 20:25

Ummm.... I vote for... quirky Grin

Casmama · 10/03/2013 20:27

Sorry, I think they are hideous so they are not my taste but that doesn't mean you have bad taste.

NandH · 10/03/2013 20:28

I vote for quirky too! not exactly tacky as such but not something to wear to a ballllllll !!!

dustyhousewithdustypeople · 10/03/2013 20:28

Both, they're gorgeous and tacky at the same time.

MrsLettuce · 10/03/2013 20:29

They have the potential to be fab. Depends entirely what you wear them with.

MrsLettuce · 10/03/2013 20:29

Oh, and if you can walk properly in them.

KirstyJC · 10/03/2013 20:29

Lovely.....bet you wouldn't see many other people wearing them! Although I think you would be better sitting down all the time, rather than actually trying to walk in them - maybe take them in a bag and change into them when you get there?Grin

Agree with Dusty, I love them and hate them in equal measure. Wish they didn't have the wooden block bit.
I would buy them and then never wear them. I'm a bit sad like that.

Inthebeginning · 10/03/2013 20:32

They're lovely! (and tacky too)

Piemother · 10/03/2013 20:32

I love them. If you dressed them down with indigo skinny jeans and a low key top they would look very cool and quirky. If you wore them with a loud frock you would look like eccentric

cookielove · 10/03/2013 20:32

Oh i think they would look really really cute with a white summer dress, or black skinnys and black vest, i think they should be the star of the outfit if that makes sense Smile

DewDr0p · 10/03/2013 20:34

I like them apart from the platform bit. I'm not entirely sure it belongs to the rest of the shoe lol.

Life is short - shoes are fun!

I love the upper but hate the hideous platform at the front, which changes them from potentially gorgeous to ridiculously ugly IMO.

KentuckyFriedChildren · 10/03/2013 20:40

I love them :o But then, I am a bit odd. I would only buy shoes I can walk in as other wise you look like a constipated giraffe walking down the street... Not a good look! I agree they are showstopper heels, must be the main feature of the outfit or you'd look like a loon. I'd probably wear with black skinnies and a vest top.

FlatsInDagenham · 10/03/2013 20:43

Love the colour and cut of the uppers. Hate hate hate the heel and platform.

bunnymother · 10/03/2013 20:45

I think they take their inspiration from Charlotte Olympia shoes. Not for me, but I imagine you will smile when you look at them.
