Well, these would be just perfect for Halloween, wouldn’t they? Assuming, of course, that you were wearing a “What We Thought The Future Would Look Like in 1962″ kind of costume. The blue pair in particular have a very futuristic kind of look about them, which I’m not totally convinced would translate well to 2009/10 without making you look like you were in costume, although you’d have a better chance of pulling off the pair on the left, obviously.

Although they’re totally different shapes, the colours and the general feel of these remind me of the suede New Look boots I showed you not long ago: an emerging trend, perhaps?

Emanuel Ungaro Very Hot platform pumps

Emanuel Ungaro have named these shoes ‘Very Hot’, so they’re clearly feeling confident about how they’ll be received. I say WE’LL be the judges of shoe hotness, thanks very much, so… what do you think?

These are certainly different. The mirrored leather and sculpted heels give them a bit of a Barbarella/futuristic feel, and that’s automatically going to make some people discount them instantly. I’m probably one of those people to be honest, but only because none of my clothes have a particularly futuristic feel to them, so there wouldn’t be a whole lot I could wear with these. My guess is that most people who buy them will wear them exactly as shown on Net-a-Porter – with one of the huge-shouldered body-con mini dresses we’re currently seeing so much of.

What do you think, readers: Very Hot, or Very Not?
