Heelster Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Who digs these heels? I've seen them at the local boutiques, and they might look good on the right person - - I'm not the right person at this point. Now if I were to attend a NRA event, (and I am a member) and felt I could get away with wearing a pair of these, then yes, I would.
Jabble Posted September 28, 2011 Author Posted September 28, 2011 That's what I'm talking about, NRA.
jay jay Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Well if somebody give them to me as a gift I will try the first one. hehehe:silly:
benno Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 The horrible platform shoe is the problem. If they were used as heels on simple but amazing black court shoes, with Scaramanga's Golden Gun as a reference... then they would be amazing with the right person and outfit. My girlfriend wearing them, all bronzed up, and in a gold bikini on a yacht in a secluded tropical cove... Mmm!!! See attached.
Dr. Shoe Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 I think they're gross... Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.

That is a real cool visual about being out in a yacht like that (me and my fiance' though). You get the idea.
SleekHeels Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 My loathing of guns overpowers even my love of heels. If you like it, wear it.
ilikekicks Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Being quite frank.. I'm not into the whole ' platform ' entity. Sure, a half inch is fine, but ' pleaser ' platforms or stripper/hooker shoes.. to each their own. Not my thing. REPEATEDLY ARGUMENTATIVE, INSULTING AND RUDE. BANNED FOR LIFE.
Jabble Posted September 28, 2011 Author Posted September 28, 2011 Wow! I do appreciate everyone's honesty, even though most do not care for either pair.
hoverfly Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Hmmmmh, puts the balance of power into a different light. Hello,  my name is Hoverfly. I’m a high heel addict…. Weeeeeeeeeee!  👠1998 to 2022!
Charlie Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 I'd have to be loaded before I wore them. lol Charlie Everything I say is a lie!.......I'm lying
WarrenB Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 I'm not going to say anything OK, I'll say it for you: They Suck! Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, I'm from the Earth.Now wearing HH Penny Loafers full time.

zetex Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 As already addressed by Benno, the problem is not the gun. The shoes just look cheap.
Amanda Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 OK, I'll say it for you: They Suck! I think I would have Jabble suck them if I owned a pair.
Jenny44M Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 I agree they look cheap. I don't think toy guns on shoes are feminine. They look like somebody raided their kid's toy box. If the shoes aren't cute or sexy, I won't wear them.
manluvheels Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 From the reactions here, I think it's fair to say the designer has shot themselves in the foot? Gross, can be the only observation I think. And there was me thinking that Kobi Levi's designs were "unusual" http://kobilevidesign.blogspot.com/ "A man cannot make a pair of shoes rightly unless he do it in a devout manner" - Thomas Carlyle
benno Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Kobi Levi is an artist, some of his shoes are amazing and all of them make you think and question our world (for good or bad, it doesn't matter, you are still made to think). The makers of the stripperesque gun shoes are just after some quick money from the pole/strip footwear industry.
manluvheels Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Can't disagree with you Benno. I look at Levi's shoes again and again in wonder, as pieces of art, whereas I have no urge to look at the gun shoes ever again.

kingfishj8 Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 The way the gun outline was incorporated just didn't work for me. It was like it was just screwed to a stock platform with bandoleer style embellishments added to the straps in a vain attempt round out the look.
Jabble Posted September 29, 2011 Author Posted September 29, 2011 I think I would have Jabble suck them if I owned a pair.
roniheels Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Yes, they do make you take notice and form an opinion. Even though I may not care for them, as I have said in other posts concerning "unique" deigns of high heels and other shoes, someone will like them and want to purchase them and wear them for whatever occasion.
Heelster Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Was in a local boutique , and was talking with the associate I have seen before. She say's they sell quite a few of these gun heels, but she did mention that it's a fairly narrow segment of the population that finds these hot.
Jabble Posted September 30, 2011 Author Posted September 30, 2011 I honestly thought more of you on hhplace would have really liked them. However, I do respect everyone's opinion. One has to expect all kinds of comments when it comes to "unique" designs. Thank you all for posting
Steve63130 Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Jabble, It was worth a shot! (get it?) Steve
Charlie Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Love to see someone try to get through airport security in these. I made a joke about them not having a shot, but I should have read the whole thread first... lol Steve63130 got the first shot! lol Charlie Everything I say is a lie!.......I'm lying
