OK, I'm proud to be in a small minority here! I'm going to admit I have them, but in the navy suede version:

And sorry, but I love them and they look great. But I do only wear them for smart casual, with dark jeans/ cropped trousers and a simple long top/ shirt. I wouldn't see them as work shoes. I do have long, slim but not stick-like legs which may help.
I'm fully prepared to admit they were an extravagant buy, but they don't remotely look like cheap and nasty Asda shoes. The quality of the suede is evident. And I say that having seen them on someone else, as well as on myself, so yes, there are two of us fans out here!
