Can you link to some examples....?

I always think of it as somewhere to go for an outfit when I'm going to a wedding.

Don't touch their shoes with a barge pole. I took a pair back after a week as the sole had completely fallen off They were flip flop style ones, and the manager refused to refund me as, and I quote, 'they're fashion shoes, they're not meant for walking in'

TheCrackFox · 02/04/2010 20:05

Please link to the offending articles.

moondog · 02/04/2010 20:07

Crack, I can't unfortunately as laptop soslow but they are all vile-the kind of thing a member of the Rotarian Ladies Circle would wear to a dinner dance.

It's the chrome finish

southeastastra · 02/04/2010 20:10

peggotty · 02/04/2010 20:12

Like this perchance?

justallovertheplace · 02/04/2010 20:13

O my eyes
'statement day shoes'
The statement being 'My name is justallovertheplace, and I like fugly shoes'

moondog · 02/04/2010 20:13

SEA,Shelby and Alannah just about pass muster but the others...
Yes, that red pair is hideous.

I declare Peggotty the winner. They are truly vile.

peggotty · 02/04/2010 20:16

It is the law to wear American Tan tights with the shoes I linked to. And to have bulgy feet-fat.

moondog · 02/04/2010 20:18

Exactly Peggotty.
at Just.

And yet, Accessorize is great. How so?

You also need a hefty pair of cankles to compliment the outfit.

RedBlueRed · 02/04/2010 20:22

I never realised, but yes they are fairly grotesque.

I often think of wedges as quite ugly but these with their silver lamé and turd drops on the toes take the award for me.

moondog · 02/04/2010 20:27

Dear God.
Silver wedges only ever worn by plump blowsy faded blondes of acetain age whose spiritual home is Costa del Sol.

moondog is that 'a certain' or 'uncertain'?

Either could be applicable!

peggotty · 02/04/2010 20:34

lol I like your shoe-personalities moondog. Tell me, who would wear these ?

moondog · 02/04/2010 20:34

Very true.
Am on ancient laptop.

moondog · 02/04/2010 20:36

Those aren't too bad.
Let's see....slightly arty student type with a bit more cash thanmost.
Purchased for trip to Ibeefa with friends-as recommended by Instyle mebbe?

Yes, I agree. Or perhaps ageing hippy/evening art class tutor reeking of patchouli oil. To be worn with harem trousers.

Eglu · 02/04/2010 21:06

That first pair pegotty looks like the kind of thing that was semi fashionable in the late 80's early 90's. My Mum had sheos in colours like that.

Those wedges are hidueous, they are old lady holiday shoes.

mangoandlime · 03/04/2010 09:04

I have a pair like the red pumps, they're with dark indigo jeans, nautical stripes and a trench coat, the other shoes look like something my aunty Mary would have worn in the 80s.

mangoandlime · 03/04/2010 09:05

They're lovely with jeans! I meant.
