These red shoes...opinions?

[NedZeppelin]

Never done red before. Not sure what to think. Opinions?

But sorry I am being rude... thank you for helping me TRY to understand

Wow

I think that kind of wedge is not the most attractive thing, but worth if you need to be at less of an incline/need the comfort, and want the elevation. I am thinking of getting some .

Having said that I don't really like these as the combination of wedge and red lace ups reminds me of stilt/clown shoes. I do like wedges and red shoes, just maybe a different style upper. If you love them though, go for it!

I think of them as brogues, which I KNOW are trendy at the moment. Just with a wedge. I agree with the orthopaedic idea. I had to show my friend the little Fly stamp to convince her they were actually fashion shoes.

I bought mine as an alternative to summer sandals, which I hate.

So bad don't know what try would go with. Colour nice

You need thin calves to wear these, or it's clumpsville.

ageingdisgreacefully, I have had to do that with my fly sandals. I have had some very dubious reactions. I have decided that as none of my other clothes are what you might call cutting edge I might not get away with those shoes. I do love them though.

Not just me, then, humphrey! I'm hardly cutting edge myself, and I've spent all morning trying to think what else these shoes could go with. I think it's definitely an arty look. Maybe dungarees? Baggyish cropped trousers and fitted jumper? I think short hair too, or with a scarf tied around head. Sort of Bananarama meets Cos.

It's what I would expect a student to wear back in the day. Now students seem to look like everyone else.....

The style is not very nice I'm afraid. Colour good but also look a bit plasticky?

Nanoo are they supposed to be "nice", though? I'd say funky, perhaps cool, edgy maybe but not nice as such. They're unconventional, certainly, but no more hideous than many styles in the shops, imho.

If Christmas elves were a real thing they would wear those shoes.

I love red shoes but not those ones, they're pretty hideous but it's just my opinion and WTF do I know

Wow, not much love for my new shoes then apart from the colour... Ah well, I've got them and I'm going to wear them. I'll look out for the eyes glancing down and the 'orthopaedic footwear' thought bubbles coming out of people' heads . Btw they are definitely not plasticky, a beautiful soft red leather... Thanks for all your opinions.

I'm a bit late to the party , but I love the shoes.

Glad to hear it, Ned. Let us know how you get on?

I love them too! But I love quirky different shoes so they're very much my things and red too so what's not to like.

I love red and burgundy shoes and wear mine whenever I can.

Orthopaedic footwear is nothing to be ashamed of. I know they're not, just saying .
