Well, there’s no point beating around the bush, so I’m just going to say it: I really hate these. And I would say that maybe on the right person, with the right outfit, I could learn to love them, but honestly, that would just be me trying to be tactful, because I can’t think of one single thing I like about them. I mean, Western mules. There are some words you just don’t want to see together in the same product description, aren’t there?
However, if there’s one thing I’ve learned from all my years of fashion blogging, and most recently from the “Shoes you wish would go away” topic in the forum, it’s that people’s tastes are so varied that one person’s Shoepervillain can be another person’s Shoeperhero. And that’s a great thing, really.
So, which are these, folks? Heroes or villains?
They’re £700 at Net-a-Porter: click here to buy them.
Oh nooooooo… These make my eyes sad. 🙁
this is all wrong…
I don’t like mules altogether so this is just… wrong.
I’ve seen enough western mules down here to drown a cow. I hate them all. I’ll even take the elf toed mariachi boots over the mules, and I hate those, too.
They are so funny looking. And I hope I never see them outside of GSB.
GCB (oops)
Hideous! Western mules, that says it all! Hate them!
As a little girl, I wanted to be a cowgirl when I grew up, and I don’t hate mules. Sooooo, I kind of love these! I guess somebody has to, right? 😉
Definitely not for me, but I can see the appeal it may have to others (ever the politician, I am). Only situation I can imagine myself wearing them in is in a costume party, the kind of costume party I’ll get invited to when I’m filthy rich and where one casually spends £700 on the outfit’s shoes alone.
Villains! God only knows what Miuccia was thinking!
Villains. Period.
I saw these on my ‘new for you at NAP’ alert and thought they were horrid. Seeing a bigger picture here has definitely not changed my mind! Just…no.
Have you seen the pee-toe boot version of these? Hideous, and that’s being kind.
PEEP TOE. Not pee toe.
I hate them. And i don’t even know how one could walk with them
HEROS! But I like the open-toed noot version better…
