I keep getting ads for these Balmain Unicorn trainers
Womens Balmain blue Unicorn Sneakers | Harrods UK

It says designed to seamlessly glide over different terrains. I can imagine seamlessly falling over and getting mud up the gappy bit in the middle.
A steel for £1050

I actually like those sandals! I couldn't afford them and couldn't walk in them - but they look sort of happy and fun.

All off these comfirm that designers make really ugly stuff that only the very rich can afford and then laugh at them , as do we " normal" people.

HornyHornersPinkyWinky · 05/10/2024 21:52

Not as comically ridiculous as some of the others on this thread, but still fairly hideous (and outrageously expensive). As a previous poster said, it's like they are deliberately taking the piss..

The ad says 'never worn'. One can only wonder why 😂

Look at all the rubbish being sold on the high street to 'normal' people - that would be just as funny if it wasn't a certainty it would end up in landfill.

"Never Worn".... can't think why

Try being a size 8.5. I've been looking for black leather knee high boots for years. This is what Asos had in my size last year.

Long Tall Sally have larger sizes

Do you know if they come up wide though? So often if I find some to fit my feet the shaft is so wide I could fit my arm down there too! I think a lot of manufacturers seem to think that if you have large feet your legs must be like tree trunks!

Sorry @rhiannon1967 but that made me laugh.

I actually like those Balmain trainers, it’s like you mushed all your my little ponies together and made a shoe for space travel!

Well they do seem to size right up in all directions, as if they can't quite believe people can have feet that big!

I like the Loubies and the YSL sandals! Those Lego trimmed boots are cute too.

try Hobbes
I have size 8 feet (and teeny ankles/calves - I am a bit ducklike) and the Hobbes riding boots are elasticated and do not look like wellies on me
