but then my number 1 hate on s&b is the default suggestion that anyone over a size 14 goes for Lindy Bop or 50s dresses complete with victory rolls and red lippy and irregular choice shoes

Yes this is true!

Neverplayleapfrogwithaunicorn · 14/08/2018 22:17

Mirkin mules!

Clionba I have just been Google imaging IC shoes to see if I could find mine online as I can't be arsed to actually take photos.... And found these 😂 I have to reiterate, I do not own these shoes!

Yep they're hideous, but agree with PP about Irregular Choice shoes, I've never seen a pair I even remotely like. They seem to me that the wearer is saying 'look how zany and wacky I am'. Awful things.

Amen! Grin

Hangingaroundtheportal admit it, you want them for Christmas, don't you? That Gogglebox Vicar has the R2D2 pair.

My 22 year old dd has asked for these for her birthday (to wear out, in public not in the house)

upsideup I'd cut the slingbacks off and have them as mucho comfy slippers. Mind you, they're £££££!

Ifonlyiweretaller · 15/08/2018 14:23

Irregular Choice shoes remind me of the trend (from probably around 25 years ago!) for collecting very ornate little shoes as ornaments. "Just the right shoe" they were called . bit.ly/2MSvh52

I have to confess to owning quite a collection at the time Grin

She was so desperate to wear her Uggs in summer she was pictured in a bikini on the beach in them.

Tbf, uggs originated for wearing after surfing.

StrangeLookingParasite · 15/08/2018 16:27

Irregular choice shoes are the most monstrous thing I’ve ever seen and I’m baffled people pay money for them!

God they're freaking horrible. But you know, my favourite things are most of the Trippen range, so pretty much their diametric opposite. And the Gulagwear® of COS.

Looks like a men's posing pouch!

SmilingButClueless · 15/08/2018 22:24

I’ve found the perfect shoes to go with that bikini

Omg I love those Asos sandals!!!

I came on to mention Irregular Choice, but I see plenty of other people have already got there!

To me, they’re just Capitalist Quirky - there’s nothing that says “I’m a bit different, me.” than paying £100+ for some debazzled, fake furred heels than make most women look like they have the feet of Mr Tumnus.

PolkaHots · 15/08/2018 23:26

I hate people who hate people because of their taste in shoes.

BRING ON THE HATE!!!

dinosaurkisses · 15/08/2018 23:31

Confused People are talking about the shoes they hate, not the people who wear them.

Two posters on this page have critiqued those who wear IC shoes, ascribing disobliging attitudes to the wearers. Not hate, but contempt,

Hangingaroundtheportal · 16/08/2018 13:05

People are talking about the shoes they hate, not the people who wear them.

Actually, a few people have made comments about the 'type of person' who wears IC shoes!

ShirleyPhallus · 16/08/2018 13:30

I don’t hate people who wear Irregular Choice shoes

Just think they should serve a life sentence in max security penitentiary for crimes against fashion
