Can't decide if the glitter will be too much?

I like them! Will depend v much on glitter quality when you wee/touch them....

elQuintoConyo · 25/09/2015 18:02

I like them

Um, orangina why would you be weeing on them? Grin

Ridiculous price though!

ipadmad · 25/09/2015 18:05

I have a code which brings them into (almost) reasonable limits

bloody hell. I'd expect them to be encrusted real jewels for that priceShock

I'm not even going to bother clicking the prada link!

The first shoes you linked to are lovely.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 25/09/2015 18:45

Nay. Ridiculously expensive and I don't like the shape or the bling. Sorry.

Madbengalmum · 25/09/2015 18:47

They are a bit three years ago. I think these have been done to death by jimmy choo for the last few years, nah.

Nettletheelf · 25/09/2015 18:49

They might have been tolerable with laces (gold) but that skater style is hideous.

hrhlisa · 25/09/2015 18:50

I think yay! I love them. Anything I've had from mint velvet has been good quality too.

Scarletforya · 25/09/2015 18:51

Nay. They have similar Primark, plus I think they look a bit masculine on the foot. (app apart from the glitter)

burnishedsilver · 25/09/2015 18:52

Yay but they're over priced. MV seem to have really hiked up their prices lately. They're in danger of pricing themselves out of the marked because the quality hasn't risen with the price.

Lunastarfish · 25/09/2015 18:54

Lovely but the price is a piss take

burnishedsilver · 25/09/2015 19:12

Market, not marked.

ilovetosleep · 25/09/2015 19:17

I really love them, the price puts me off though (could you share the code?!) Boden have some v similar but sold out in my size :(

lurkingabit · 25/09/2015 19:33

Not for me, sorry. Can't imagine you'd get your money's worth out of them.

ipadmad · 25/09/2015 19:53

I found the code on Mumsnet - it is NEWYORK15

Thanks for the opinions - I'm not going to buy them - agree that probably won't get the use out of them

I've seen similar in asos and new look, may not be your bag to wear cheaper stuff though

ipadmad · 25/09/2015 19:59

Thanks - will check those out whatdoIget - happy to go cheap and cheerful

LordPeterWimsey · 25/09/2015 20:07

Nay. DD has some like that for under a fiver from Primark. Can't imagine paying that money for them.

orangina · 25/09/2015 21:08

Haha, sorry I posted and then ran off for supper and movie with the kids... I meant SEE, not WEE.......
