Idly looking online at impractical shoes, and found these on Aquazzura. I'd never wear them as they'd cripple my feet but they are so beautiful!

They are a bit eighties for me too, but everyone has different tastes.

Murtaghjames · 05/02/2021 12:13

Stunning, love the green and blue

pictish · 05/02/2021 12:17

I wonder if younger women are more amenable to 80s styling than women my age are? I’m 45 and old enough to remember wearing that stuff the first time round. It has connotations to me.

BusterGonad · 05/02/2021 12:25

There's a pandemic everybody, you will all go to hell for looking at shoes. How dare we think of anything else but the pandemic.

Limpshade · 05/02/2021 12:28

I believe this brand is one that Meghan Markle used to wear quite a bit on walkarounds. They are said to be surprisingly comfortable; go for it OP Grin

Sorry.. In the middle of a pandemic, I can't really understand vanity and shallow mindedness. Who gives a F?
I think someone saw this thread in Trending and hasn't actually realised that it is in Style & Beauty where people discuss such things. Some people are just hard of thinking/goady.

Remind me of the 80's too. Pumps are flat though.

Ninkanink · 05/02/2021 12:38

🙄🙄 at ridiculous virtue signalling/self righteousness. There are a million Coronavirus threads on here, please take yourself over to one of them where you can wring your hands - entirely ineffectually, I might add - to your heart’s content!

TriciaMcMillan · 05/02/2021 12:44

I've been working health and care pandemic response since March, have I earned my right to enjoy those shoes, or should I self flagilate all weekend in penance?? Confused

Martinisarebetterdirty · 05/02/2021 12:46

OP I saw these a couple of days ago and have been lusting after them too. Sadly they are about an inch too high for me so I won’t be purchasing. I’ll still be looking though Smile

LifeInAHamsterWheel · 05/02/2021 12:48

They are gorgeous! A little bit 80s maybe but isn't that era making a comeback? I'm 47 and still love them Smile

ElliFAntspoo · 05/02/2021 13:17

ROFLMAO at the how shallow people are in the middle of a pandemic.

My mother died alone in a care home. I couldn't be bothered going to see her for the past year, but I did get a really good pair of shoes. So happy days.

ktp100 · 05/02/2021 13:18

They look like something my Mum would have worn in 1985.

Nope.

Bit of a mental jump in thinking there, hun Hmm

Bet you're fun at a party
bitliketonyhares · 05/02/2021 13:21

They're very Carrie Bradshaw

ElliFAntspoo · 05/02/2021 13:22

They are gorgeous though. What we would have called fuckme shoes in the 80's. Very meat market chic.

idontlikealdi · 05/02/2021 13:22

I'm sure my mum had a pair just like that in the 80s.

I kind of like them but I am way past hobbling around in uncomfortable shoes!!

don't be so bloody snotty...no one has said this
FoxyBadger · 05/02/2021 13:25

Absolutely gorgeous @Kndg.
Now being spammed with adverts for them though...

Poppins2016 · 05/02/2021 13:26

@pictish

I don’t even like the shoes, but I will voraciously defend your right to look at, think about, wax lyrical over and raise discussion about the shoes. These little sidetracks are what keeps us going.
Ditto.

The fact that there is more to life than the pandemic is what's keeping most people going!

Applefairy · 05/02/2021 13:30

So pretty. Imagine a wonderful night out in those shoes Star

Ninkanink · 05/02/2021 13:31

Incredibly one-dimensional with complete lack of understanding of depth and breadth of character, or deliberately trying to rile. Whatever the case may be, it’s boring and tedious.

I’m capable of holding many thoughts in my head at once, and caring about more than one thing at once, and attaching more or less importance or meaning to things as relevant. My life is full of meaning. I also love fashion and fripperies. ‘I contain multitudes.’

Back to shoes! They are rather bright for me too, tbf, and I generally prefer understated style. But I have a soft spot for peacock colours, so I have the odd piece....my little evening bag in cobalt blue adds such a pleasing zing to a black outfit. My mum was a hippie and wore the relevant attire, so there aren’t any ‘ugh, so old-fashioned’ vibes attached to these for me.

This is what my bag looks like. It’s a tad brighter IRL.

Most gorgeous shoes ever!
MarshaBradyo · 05/02/2021 13:32

Quite nice

I just can’t do heels that high anymore

Ginfordinner · 05/02/2021 13:34

@AnnaMagdalena

I was ready not to like them, but I love them.
Same here. They really are pretty. Now if they did them with a much lower heel...
strudsespark · 05/02/2021 13:35

Finally, finally I find something on a thread that I think is pretty and for a short moment I imagine I am a little bit modern.

And then you all go 80'ties... old-fashioned 🥲 🤣.

Am in awe that even this thread has covid bashers, guess it can be 'shoe horned' into every thread 🙄.
