ASOS PORTRAIT Suede Platforms with Colour Block, £85
ASOS have really been thinking outside the box when it comes to shoe design, lately, and have come up with some really unusual shapes, the likes of which you don’t often see on the high street.
Is this a good thing or a bad thing, in the case of these ‘Portrait’ platforms, though, I wonder? These have suede uppers with very high vamps, finished off with stripey platform soles and a rather amazing cone-shaped heel:
These aren’t my taste at all, and I think I’d have a really hard time styling them, but that, of course, doesn’t mean they won’t be to anyone else’s taste, so tell me: are they to yours? Do you think they’re Shoeperheroes or Shoepervillains?

DEFINITELY villains
jak!!!
They strongly remind me of those ugly Acne platforms with a high vamp, and I loathe these equally! Villains!
If it reminds me of a court jester’s outfit, it’s a villain. Add that freakishly high vamp that’s not a loafer, not a boot, and not a pump, and it’s definitely a villain.
Awful. Just awful.
