Very true. What a perfect day for a Wedding too.

I don't like all those bondage straps :(

Bindibach · 31/05/2014 20:16

My older ones don't have bondage straps sea. They are mainly slip ons, slings and courts.

MyrtleDove · 31/05/2014 20:45

I don't like them, sorry Bindi. I'm not a fan of very pointy shoes though, they're weirdly ageing. A wedge is far comfier and not dated. Not the huge wedges that are around now, sensible ones.

And useful if you're tall, we can't all wear high heels, we'll, I'd be about 6'3 if I did!

I have a gorgeous chocolate brown Hobbs pair that are a sort of large squared off peeptoe and sling back and they are splendid.

Shitten heels.

I say 'no'.

TroyMcClure · 01/06/2014 02:03

I hate if you are anything over a size 8. Looks like giant teetering on pins

seasalty50 · 01/06/2014 07:08

They complement slim ankles beautifully. If you're chunkier stick to chunky heels.

TroyMcClure · 01/06/2014 09:15

I have very slim ankles. And legs. But they look cack. So I disagree

Milmingebag · 01/06/2014 10:26

It depends on your personal style and what you wear them with though doesn't it? I have thin ankles and small feet and they work with my figure in the way that great big clodhoppers look awful on me but nicer on a different frame.

Kitten heels are about the height and differ in thickness too-not all are ultra spindly.

If you like something wear it and fuck the naysayers.

Bindibach · 01/06/2014 16:10

Here, here!!

Bindibach · 01/06/2014 16:12

Troy with regards to size 8...it really does depend upon your height. Im very tall and am a size 8 but my feelt don't look big, they just go with my height. I would look very silly with little feet and would probably just topple over ha ha!

seasalty50 · 01/06/2014 17:03

Oh, I thought Troy meant size 8 clothing Blush sorry!

I have size 4.5 feet and they look fine in them. I'd look ridiculous in clumpy shoes so I agree it's about personal style.

noddyholder · 01/06/2014 17:08

I like the look of some of them but I can't walk in them find higher heels easy but those I always go over

Bindibach · 01/06/2014 18:01

I still love a high heel but my feet don't. They want comfort now. Bless.

MyrtleDove · 01/06/2014 18:30

I find chunky heels much, much more comfortable. I like pumps with small to medium block heels or a mid-heel wedge court, I struggle to wear heels otherwise.

DameFanny · 01/06/2014 18:42

Jesus fuck they're ugly. Just unbalanced. The whole point of a kitten heel is to look precarious without height. Why? So you can be precious diddums for a man to look after?

Fuck the fuck off.

MadBusLady · 01/06/2014 18:51

I'm so pleased these are back! I'm tall too and I look ridiculous in the 4inches that seems to have become standard. I find them perfectly stable too but that's possibly because I learnt high heels when they were last in...

seasalty50 · 01/06/2014 18:52

Blimey Fanny - you've made some leap there Confused

Milmingebag · 01/06/2014 19:20

DameFanny how about the novel concept that you can just like the look of them aesthetically without wanting to look like a man-pleaser?

Women are capable of making sartorial choices that have nothing to do with appeasing male lust. I know, astounding eh?

You could apply your particular theory to any aspect of female clothing that is in the least bit form fitting. It's just illogical and a tad 'unbalanced'.

Bindibach · 01/06/2014 21:24

Most heels look and are precarious. Nothing to do with men though. When you want to go from looking meh to looking amazing they can make all the difference. What an odd post really.
