stilettofan Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 That is actually the latest Dior style with the belt around the whole boot and the side-bags. A lot of more or less good copies (eg. Buffalo) are around, too. High Heels - a true feelgood-factor for everyone
Bubba136 Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 Those boots are so horrid, it's hard for me to believe that any shoe manufacturer would copy them.. :rofl: Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
NikkiHH Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 but its got plenty of holes in the belt thingies - room for tying on additional extras, carabenas, bunches of keys...the possibilities are endless!! It would kind of be like batmans utility belt but in boot form. (what the hell am I talking about!)
Lucy Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 At least this has no paraphernalia, so it it more sexy?: Love, Lucy Life is not a rehearsal. Why not use it to present ourselves as smartly and attractively as possible?
Paul (North-East) Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 That boot would make a good tea-cosy Lucy! It would be perfect on one of those taller standing coffee pots. Love, Paul.
Bubba136 Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 Now, Paul! That's really a "stretch." :rofl: Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
TabascoTesa Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 Been lurking on this particular thread for awhile and it's been making me giggle nonstop. Okay, so sure, these are designed for comfort, but I'd feel like I had elastic-y wicker baskets on my feet. I mean, wtf? And what are THESE things? Also, I don't like the looks of very many athletic shoes. I wear my New Balances to work out in, but I think a lot of basketball shoes in particular look terrible. One last one (I know this is long.} The aboves are Timberlands--I don't mind Timberlands per se, I have a couple--but I just don't like the "duck boot" styling. I grew up on a farm, and duck boots like that are for slopping around in muck and manure. They're not a fashion statement. (shudders delightedly to see what others will come up with on this thread...I didn't know there were so many other people who so vehemently hated certain styles too, I thought I was the only one! )
Heelfan Posted April 23, 2004 Author Posted April 23, 2004 A great set of contributions Tabasca, and welcome to the Forums! Your first shoe is particularly delightfully horrible! Thanks for taking part! By the way, this is my 999th posting - the very last in my avatar 5.5" and I'm about to aim my 1,000th post at "Celebrate Your High Heel Promotions Here" thread which will move me into Debbie's 6" Oxfords! Cheerfully yours, Heelfan Onwards and upwards!
bladerunner Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 Those shoes on a scale of 1-10 in the grim shoe stakes must rate at 8.5! there are worse but still being a technophobe i still hav'ent worked out how to get my snaps on here yet Tabascotesa1 I just love those suede heels!!!!!
Bubba136 Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 There must be some truth to the old saying, "make them. Someone will buy them. But, I wonder how many of that style they really sell.....gosh, they're so ugly I doubt they could even give them away. :rofl: Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
sscotty727 Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 Here are a few more on the pocket/buckle theme, although they aren't nearly as bad as the others. If anyone is interested, you can by them here. Scotty
Lucy Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 Well, I don't know Scotty - I can't see what is particularly nasty about them. Too many straps and holes perhaps, but still a million times better than all the hideous, frumpy stuff above, which really is the WORST! Why not scroll through Clarke's and Birkenstock's and Zappos Shoes and other frumpy suppliers to find us all something really FOUL AND GHASTLY to snigger at!!! Love, Lucy Life is not a rehearsal. Why not use it to present ourselves as smartly and attractively as possible?
TabascoTesa Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 Hmmm, I dunno...I think I'd actually wear the strappy holey boots if they got rid of the "air intake" holes that arch around the toe area...And if the sole were all one color...And if they were at least calf-high...And came in my size...And were given to me for free...And had a check to pay off my student loans in each of the pockets! Yeah! That'd be great! Actually, this is completely offtopic, but I wouldn't mind having one of those strappy tiny wallet/pocket things on a belt. I'd loop it through the pull-up straps on my Frye harness boots and I'd never have to carry a purse again (hides her fryes in case they're a fashion no-no, and also hides the zappos box they came in, and whistles innocently)
Heelfan Posted April 25, 2004 Author Posted April 25, 2004 Don't you think these are clumsily and clunkingly ugly and horrible? I think those are clumsily and clunkingly ugly and horrible! Cheerfully yours, Heelfan Onwards and upwards!
shyguy Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 Yeah what heelfan said He was so narrow minded he could see through a keyhole with both eyes. Brown's Law: If the shoe fits, it's ugly
Bubba136 Posted April 26, 2004 Posted April 26, 2004 Look like birth control shoes to me. (Birth Control Shoes: any shoes that would make a man run away as fast as he can from any woman wearing them) Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
shyguy Posted April 26, 2004 Posted April 26, 2004 :rofl: Nice comment, must remember that one He was so narrow minded he could see through a keyhole with both eyes. Brown's Law: If the shoe fits, it's ugly

Heelfan Posted April 27, 2004 Author Posted April 27, 2004 Nice one Lucy - No! I should say "Terrible one Lucy!". What about these?: Cheerfully yours, Heelfan Onwards and upwards!
shyguy Posted April 28, 2004 Posted April 28, 2004 well somebody somewhere has a strange idea of what might be considered stylish. Is anybody actually buying these shoes ??? He was so narrow minded he could see through a keyhole with both eyes. Brown's Law: If the shoe fits, it's ugly
TabascoTesa Posted April 28, 2004 Posted April 28, 2004 Shyguy--I know a girl who bought the "bog shoes" featured in Heelfan's post (the little ghillie-laced thing with the ankle ties that looks like it's cutting off the wearer's circulation--yeah, that one.) I don't mean to be defamatory about this person, but let's just say fashion in not important to her at all. She's the kind of person who forgets to bathe or comb her hair. I've also seen some very "granola" types selling artsy things at local street fairs. I'll often see one or two in those crazy camel-suede moccasin boot...things. As for Lucy's post, I do know some elderly people, and people with health concerns, who do wear things like that because they can find nothing else that will fit without hurting. My poor mother, in particular, is only in her early fifties and is in very good health, but she is a diabetic and has always had troublesome feet. Until she gets bunion surgery, the only shoes she can comfortably wear are her New Balances. (She thought about getting some of the Safeet ones--with the terrible strap--in Lucy's post, but thought they were just too hideous!)

sscotty727 Posted April 29, 2004 Posted April 29, 2004 Are these shoes or paintings? BTW, they cost a mere $273! Scotty
nhoj62 Posted April 29, 2004 Posted April 29, 2004 holy cow batman some of these things are truely terrible, am hiding behind my chair here, might have to move too the next room if it gets any worse. tho the ones posted by scotty aren`t too bad just loose the pocket and the white strip on the sole of the black pair and they are fine in my opinion. i would buy them if they were sold with above mods to them. later nhoj62 the higher the boot, the higher the heel, the better the feeling!
