I LOVE them, but my three go-to people (gf, best friend & sister) all hate them. Is my judgement seriously warped?! I’m thinking with jeans or wide legged black trousers...

I love them too.

Collection2000 · 17/02/2018 18:41

Oh shit, I clicked on the link and now I really want them.

Scullerymaid · 17/02/2018 18:41

They're hideous, sorry.

MrsMozart · 17/02/2018 18:42

No.

OrphanWeek · 17/02/2018 18:42

Not hideous. But i think you need to be really fly to wear them. If you've got the whole combo then go for them. I also think £110 is a lot!

CreekyOldKnee · 17/02/2018 18:42

Like the snake skin, don't like the crossover.

Afreshcuppateaplease · 17/02/2018 18:43

No. Yuck.

Willswife · 17/02/2018 18:43

Hideous. But I'm old and unfashionable!

CreekyOldKnee · 17/02/2018 18:43

Christ, didn't look at the price! No way for £110!

DrRanjsRightEyebrow · 17/02/2018 18:44

I have them in navy. Always get comments! Look good with boyfriend jeans.

retirednow · 17/02/2018 18:47

I don't like the pattern but like the style, pretty expensive though. Shoealholics do Kurt Geiger and Michael kor similar but much cheaper.

Collection2000 · 17/02/2018 18:47

I might actually have to order them now, and I really shouldn't spend that money. But they are fab. A bit edgy for me, but that's no bad thing.

Rodders92 · 17/02/2018 18:49

I would like them if I had smaller feet on my size 8’s no way

slashdragon · 17/02/2018 18:50

Vile!

Caulk · 17/02/2018 18:51

I really don’t like them.

What would you wear them with? If you’re not entirely sure then don’t spend £100 on them.

MagicFajita · 17/02/2018 18:52

IMO the style is nice but not the pattern , also they don't look like over £100 worth of shoe.

If you can afford it and really like them then our opinions are irrelevant though.

Wakeuptortoise · 17/02/2018 18:53

Hideous.

youarenotkiddingme · 17/02/2018 18:54

Like the style of shoe.

Don't like material and hate the price!

Nuffaluff · 17/02/2018 18:54

I love them.

DrRanjsRightEyebrow · 17/02/2018 18:54

If you like animal print look at Air and Grace ones.

Koala72 · 17/02/2018 18:55

I can see why people like them, but I think the sole is too white and thick, and the crossover of the pattern ends up making them look a bit weird. And they look clunky.

The phrase 'brother creepers' leapt into my mind.

I'm afraid it is an absolute definite no from me.

Bombardier25966 · 17/02/2018 18:57

They look like something from Hotter Shoes.

Knittedfairies · 17/02/2018 18:57

Horrid.

Hoppinggreen · 17/02/2018 18:58

I like them

MissBeehiving · 17/02/2018 18:59

No
