hhboots Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Yikes, at that price they better be made of titanium or carbon fiber. But, anyway I am sure they are more stable than they appear. I'm not that fond of the appearance though, looks too 'gimmicky' to me, too much going on with three different surfaces and double platform. On a nitpicky marketing/photography note, a new pair of shoes that is used for pictures and at that price, should look damn near perfect in the photo, those have all sorts of debris on the suede material, and the suede looks rubbed on one side of the shoe as well.

Roxyinheels Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I don't like them....I would never wear them... Elegance is my second name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roniheels Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I've said it before and I'll say it again. Everybody has a gimick. All they have to do is sell a few of those to someone prominant in the spotlight, and there will be others, who can afford them, who will buy them and wear them. It's like the story of the man selling apples on the street corner. A man walking by asks the man selling apples, "how much for one apple?" The man selling them says, "one million dollars an apple." The man walking by says, "you'll never get rich selling an apple for one million dollars!" The man selling the apples says, "I only need to sell one!":silly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maninheels Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I really don't even like the whole platform idea to start with, those things though. WOW! Some ideas are great and some, not so much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benno Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Those are not the best implementation of the GML sole. I'm more worried about the slingback element of the shoe. I have yet to see a slingback I like. I like the grey, blue and yellow version attached. I like the sandal version I've also attached. With a simple outfit they'd work really well (in my eyes). There's nothing unstable about them. It's a trick of the eye. If you don't like them you'll have a fit when you see Finsk's heels. It's just shoe design and I heartily applaud it all. Even when it's ugly. Cheers, Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kikepa Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I love the grey/blue/yellow versions. I'd go public in a pair of those. Those who really care about us don't make a fuss about what we wear.

ChipsHH Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I'd definitely wear them out, but on those Super special occasions. And I guess I'm the only one that really likes them, eh? Formally "HHDude" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a simple outfit they'd work really well (in my eyes). Ben Yes. Seriously love the grey, blue, and yellow colours together, but so not liking that platform. Not into full platforms normally anyway. Just having them as semi-plats would be so much better. They do look pretty awesome although the heel bit is sort of really on a sharp angle and I try to find high heels that have not so sharp an angle for the heel. I am not the best at PhotoShop but am trying to learn more for my work (documentation) and have had a try at making them into semi-platforms Lately I am into heels with jeans, also as winter is coming here, and I can totally see these working with jeans. Christine. Oops. Forgot to add my PhotoShop'd picture. Will reply again with picture (as I spent about 20 minutes doing it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
