What do you think of these shoes? Warning: they are Irregular Choice.

I know Irregular Choice are everyone's cup of tea and some of their shoes are a bit interesting, but I have got a couple of pairs and like the look of these. I like them in blue but they're cheaper in red or black.

Thanks.

I quite like them! Never heard of irregular choice before but there's a few on there that I'd wear. (I draw the line at gnome shoes though - WTF?! Confused)

Fedupnagging · 10/01/2014 00:35

Whilst they wouldn't suit me, I do quite like them.

Funnily enough a colleague at work was wearing the red ones you've linked with a navy tea dress yesterday and I thought she looked fab.

Go on, buy them!

NoArmaniNoPunani · 10/01/2014 00:44

Just be careful with Amazon. I bought some irregular choice shoes on there and when they arrived they were fake

50ShadesOfMaybe · 10/01/2014 08:46

A like from me. I'm a sucker for red shoes, but it depends which you'd get more wear out of.

DaftSkunk · 10/01/2014 10:17

I like the idea of red shoes but think I wouldn't be brave enough to wear them. I have quite a few black pairs of shoes which leaves the navy ones....

I really like these but they don't have any in my size unfortunately.

Love them!

Elsiequadrille · 10/01/2014 10:31

I was thinking Dorothy from Wizard of Oz, too!

They're not too OTT, for Irregular Choice shoes.

BikeRunSki · 10/01/2014 10:41

I like them a lot!

The red would go perfectly with a dress I never wear because I don't have shoes to go with it.

How does IC sizing come up ?

DaftSkunk · 10/01/2014 10:42

bikerunski I find generally they come up smaller, so I size up.

Life would be dull without them.. Can anyone advise me if there's a cut off age for IC shoes?

50ShadesOfMaybe · 10/01/2014 11:29

betty don't let this turn into an "Am I told old for ___" discussion. You could wear them at 80.

DaftSkunk · 10/01/2014 11:41

If you like them betty that's all the matters Smile.

DorothyBastard · 10/01/2014 11:45

I think they are a bit twee, sorry OP.

bettybleep · 10/01/2014 12:27

Thanks daftskunk Smile but, while I thought that 50shades reply was a bit bossy and insensitive, I think will indeed save them for the characterful daft old bat look I'll affect in my 80's

BikeRunSki · 10/01/2014 14:58

Poo, the biggest size is half a size too small for me as it is (8)!

50ShadesOfMaybe · 10/01/2014 15:05

Didn't mean to sound like that, betty! Sorry! Just get irritated by many of the Am I Too Old questions in S&B.

I think the shoes in question are pretty ageless. Could be worn by young and old alike.

bettybleep · 10/01/2014 15:45

Very graceful of you 50shades, and sorry if I over reacted haven't seen many 'am I too old?' posts, so sorry if it has become irritating. It's a fine line between staying stylish, and making a fool of yourself at times Grin looking forward to being old enough to get away with fashion murder though..

1974rach · 10/01/2014 15:50

love them! buy them Smile

I love irregular choice shoes

slug · 10/01/2014 17:09

I'm currently sitting at my desk wearing these in red Because a girl needs a pair of sparkly red heels.

StatisticallyChallenged · 10/01/2014 17:27

They're fab Slug!

I have my eye on these and these

I have to say - I find most of the IC shoes I have run big, I'm normally a 6 but have two of my pairs in a 5. The court style ones particularly tend to be big

DaftSkunk · 10/01/2014 18:08

Fab shoes slug. Love those second ones statisticallychallenged.

UsedToBeNDP · 10/01/2014 18:16

A bit Minnie Mouse for my tastes, OP.

UsedToBeNDP · 10/01/2014 18:17

For some reason I always think IC shoes look oddly, ummmm, curly and like they'd rub like a fecker

Jbck · 10/01/2014 18:53

Ooh Slug, I have them in black sort of reptile print. I love them and the soles makes me feel a lttle bit crazy Grin

I like to think people walk behind me saying 'what the hecks up with hose shoes'

StatisticallyChallenged · 10/01/2014 19:44

Funnily enough UsedToBeNDP mine are really comfy!
