Thoughts on these shoes?

[newname33887]

I like the colour but not sure about the heel shape

Awful. The kind of thing my maiden aunt wore in 1963.

They don't. Just ignore.

I love these and have them in another colour. I love kitten heels and sling backs and the style of this heel in particular. I think these are gorgeous.

They do. In light of the oh so hilarious they look like....comments, I'm warming to them.

They are beautiful , love the colour too .

@newname33887 The first dark red ones are totally spot on this Christmas. Heels and toes. The red ones are not as nice in my view. For me, the lower heel is elegant and easy to wear.

they look cheap and uncomfortable and dated

I think they look lovely, although they are slightly more pointy than I would wear. Since I damaged my back a few years ago, I've not been able to wear high heels, so normally wear kitten heels. I don't think they look quite as elegant as higher shoes but much much better than flat shoes. I'm in two minds about the heel shape - I don't think it's odd enough that it would put me off if they were cheaper, but I don't think I would pay Jimmy Choo prices. I love the colour.

Yes @IHaveNeverLivedintheCastle we have been asked for our opinions...

@WalterdelaMare
Pigs trotters? Urgh.

@StormingNorman
No cankles shaming please!

Here they are on my feet. Sunday night leggings possibly not the ideal outfit. I agree with the pp who said a bit higher might be better.

You didn't state an opinion. You stated what you said as a fact.

They look really nice on. I think they're very pretty shoes.

It's so funny that people are very critical of these issues when there have been some complete monstrosities admired on this forum.

I really don't like the way they look on your photos, but it could just be that they look awful with the leggings , would need to see them paired with something else.

They do not look good on. Why are they gaping at the sides?

Because I haven't tightened the straps. If I'm going to return them, I want to fuss with them as little as possible.

To be honest this style of shoe is Everyehere. Anyone interested in fashion will have seen umpteen versions of these. Often worn with a midi straight skirt. Slinky ones or tweed ones. It doesn’t matter. Or cigarette pants or a mini skirt. Depends if £750 floats your boat for a pair of shoes.

going to retract my earlier comment as they look much better on and like they’d be comfortable. Still too pointy I feel though? The colour is stunning. They suit you

Utterly minging.

I never cared for kitten heels before, but I have just bought a pair from Vinted to match a dress and they look fabulous.
Op- I really like those.

They look lovely on. I would definitely keep them.

Thank you! I don't mind the pointiness (which I think is exaggerated because of the leggings). I just think I might prefer a slightly higher heel.

@LikeWhoUsesTypewritersAnyway
Thanks. That's very helpful.

Hi, I bought some red kitten-heel shoes of a very similar shape - not slingbacks, though - from M&S. They're surprisingly comfy. I wore them for a night out for 3 hours. Size 6.5, wide-fitting. I'm selling them, if you're interested.

These ones:

You did ask.
