Should I sell or should I keep?

pics of shoes on profile ... black, very high, meant to be gladiatorial, but rather more dominatrix!!

They're kind of terrible but I love them. However, in practical terms, I kind of think I should ebay them.

In favour of keeping
They are comfortable, even on my humungous feet
They make my legs look pretty good
They weren't super expensive ($100 in Australia) and
I probably wouldn't get much for them on ebay cos they;re not a big label

Against keeping
Have hardly worn them, and am even less likely to now that I am pregnant
They are kind of slutty looking
My husband hates them (apart from in that sluttty way)
I have so many shoes!!!

Come on MN jury, what should I do?

They're minging but you can totally carry them off ( so if you love them then I say keep em!

LetThemEatCake · 18/05/2009 21:26

You want me to keep something that you describe as MINGING??

LOL.

I think they look good! Perhaps put a reserve on them so they don't go for a silly price.

Penthesileia · 18/05/2009 21:37

{grin]

I was totally prepared for some full on thigh-high shockers, but those are tame in comparison to your description of them!

If you like them, keep them. You aren't going to be pregnant forever!

What doesn't your DH like about them? Izzit cuz you is too HOT in them? Is he a jeluz h8ter?

Ronaldinhio · 18/05/2009 21:38

I love them and they look Balenciaga ish

Keep

LetThemEatCake · 18/05/2009 21:42

Penth!!! you is DOWN with the kids, y'all!!!

nah, he just thinks they're tacky. But he finds them sexy. You know. Wouldn't mind me wearing them home, if you get me .... maybe this part should have been on the 'in favour of selling" list - who has the energy??!!

I reckon if you sell them on ebay as they look in those photos (ie photographed on your feet with lovely painted nails) and write some vaguely suggestive blurb you'll probably get more than you paid for them.

But if you like them, keep them. Even if you only get occasional use from them (eg wearing them in the bedroom for your DH ).

(I don't even know why I keep reading threads on this topic, I know less about fashion than Anne Widdecombe. )

BunnyLebowski · 18/05/2009 21:46

I do think they're horrible.

Harsh and unfeminine and industrial looking but I also know that shoes like that are very "in" at the minute - it's just a trend I don't happen to like.

If you like em then keep em. You have fab legs and would look great in them as you also probably would in these

ah, the bandal ... so very wrong...

OP posts:
Penthesileia · 18/05/2009 21:50

LOL!

I learnt it from my students. Innit.

Anyway, hmmmm. bran has a point... Maybe you should advertise them suggestively and appeal to an, erm, alternative audience? Like the MNers who are selling their stinky slippers!

Penthesileia · 18/05/2009 21:52

Argh, my eyes! Those are the ugliest things I've ever seen.

bran · 18/05/2009 21:56

Those are hideous BunnyL. And I think Anne Widdecombe would agree with me there (along with just about every woman in Britain surely).

geordieminx · 18/05/2009 21:56

If you didnt have boats slightly big feet I would buy them from you - if only in the vain hope that they would look half as nice on me as they do on you...

I have been stalking you on other shoe threads, and saw the ones you were selling on ebay. You are so pretty I hate you!!!

LetThemEatCake · 18/05/2009 22:03

Oh my god!!! My feet are so big that I actually COULD sell them to a tranny!!!!!

Quelle genius!!!

geordie - my shoes sold for £115, hurrah!! But as for the rest, bah. bollocks. You only ever make the halfway decent photos public, right?
