What the actual fuck are these abominations all about then?

They have my size with free shipping and returns. I might order a pair and send them back just for a laugh

I've just sent the link to a friend who said she was looking for some new 'bedroom shoes'. These could be the very ticket!

I want them in brown, for that authentic Biblical vibe.

Iheartkingthistle did you end up liking the silver boots? Did your DH forgive you?

Back to the boots. OP can I ask what on earth you were searching for that led you to these beauties?

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Whatamess

That's the design of somebody well pissed off who has long since left the company. Either that or they were bet 8 squillion pounds by their workmates that they'd never get that one through the system.

Oh. My. Word. Someone was paid to design these monstrosities

"optional fuzzy socks"

No, no a thousand times NO and I wear these

I bet Bjork has a pair.

Crying. I am actually crying.

I bet they were designed by an Apprentice team. And managed to blag them to M&S, who bought 5 units to try.

This has to go in Classics!

They might come down further in price, say £50... What if they were the only shoes left in the world and you HAD to wear them?

It's a well know fact that if you charge ££££'s for something, it becomes desirable.

Fuck me the charity is the halo trust don't they clear land mines, checks date is it April 1st?
Never thought there'd be an upside to having lost a limb but only having to wear one of these might just be that silver lining

hahaha i thought it couldn't be that bad! Then i clicked on the link! I actually said out loud 'wtf is that?!?'

Now I am an old gimmer, and my leg muscles are no longer what they were. How do I know? The nice stylish ankle boots with a small stack heel (I can't wear higher than that) turn out to be Too Heavy for me.

My Lovely Man has just bought himself some DMs to go abroad in. But I think they are too heavy for him - he's now getting muscle twitches in the ankles - though he Refuses to Listen.

Yes, those boots look pretty hideous. They might look slightly better when they're being worn. But perhaps it's the weight to protection ratio that is the selling point for us BabyBoomers. If I go somewhere I don't need to look all that stylish, but need something a bit sturdy, perhaps they'd be the ones.

Though probably not

I'm also struggling to think of what on earth you would wear these with. Smart suit? Dress? Negligée?

If you are going to design something where a percentage of sales goes to charity, you would surely design something that will actually fucking sell and make money!!!!

Who in their right mind would pay £200 for what is effectively half a pair of boots?

Heather Mills might wear them, are they vegan?

That is the absolute embodiment of fugly, surely.

Clarks - take note. THESE are desert boots. First of all, they're made of suede. Secondly, people actually wear them.

On second thoughts I'm going to run these past DD1, 10, who has to wear lace ups for school and has a keen, keen wit Strictly speaking they cover all the uniform requirements.

I might even tell her they're en-route

can't believe I'm still looking at this shoe

I'm baffled. If you wore them in winter you risk getting soggy optional fuzzy socks if you were caught out in the rain. If you wore them summer, one would get sweaty optional fuzzy socks....or do you just omit the sock for summer wear?

When the fuck did they think people would wear these?
