yes! i love chunky heels, but something about these takes me back to my 1990's go to bar mitzvah shoes... and not in a good way (is there ever a good way to relive jr high fashions?)
i can't quite put my finger on what, exactly, i don't like about these. funny thing is, i really liked the pair you posted previously -- also chunky and pastel. hmm.
i figured it out. there is no curve AT ALL to the silhouette of the heel, while the ones in the previous post do curve EVER SO SLIGHTLY. shoes like this tend make my feet look even bigger and clunkier than they are, so i steer clear.
no kidding, right? i think they're cute-ish, but i steer clear of these shoes entirely because i don't "get" 'em. so, for what they are, i guess they're okay.
Ha! I think they look better on feet. But, hell, it took me six months to find the right heels to wear at my outdoor wedding... and, after purchasing them, I ended up wearing Frye boots instead, so clearly I am not the authority on this subject!
It's the black bottoms - too visible from the side. Especially under the toe bed. And it looks like the toe is too square. And the heel needs to taper more. And not be so high.
i like 'em. i guess.
ReplyDeletethey're not hideous, but the minimalist should be wearing flats.
ReplyDeletei just ANTICIPATED your comment and added a third option.
DeleteSomething off about the heel. I like the rest, just not the heel.
ReplyDeleteI agree. It's just not right.

Deletetoo clunky/chunky/the gold is weird. ... plus they're not minimalist.
ReplyDeletewhy are we all denying the existence of wedges?
ReplyDeletegetting married on a beach or grass and not wanting to have dumpy flat legs = WEAR A WEDGE.
Amen to that!
DeleteAbsolutely.
DeleteI prefer a tapered heel; this one is just too chunky. And too tall, though I can barely walk in heels, so that's just me.
ReplyDeletenot good, not good at all.

ReplyDeleteYOU'RE SO RIGHT. now that you point it out, I realize I hate a heel without curve
Deleteno kidding, right?

A genius observation, 17 beats! I totally agree about the no-curve heel. Never would have thought of that before, though!
DeleteI dig them.
ReplyDeleteYeah, they are OK. No flats unless absolutely necessary.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I like about it is the gold at the toe. The heel is too clunky, and the ankle strap needs more substance.
ReplyDeleteI like these.
ReplyDeleteNAY.
ReplyDeleteThese remind me of the 90's... so eek NO
ReplyDeleteHa! I think they look better on feet. But, hell, it took me six months to find the right heels to wear at my outdoor wedding... and, after purchasing them, I ended up wearing Frye boots instead, so clearly I am not the authority on this subject!
ReplyDeleteI think it is the chunky heel + open toe combo. Those shoes are heel heavy! The Chie Mihara ones you posted feel more balanced.
ReplyDeleteNo, they're 90's in a bad way.
ReplyDeletei know but i love the 90s. and now that i'm drunk i'm pretty into them.
Deletei love that you're back.
DeleteLOVE.
haha. you just love that i'm drunk. ;-O
DeleteI heart them.
ReplyDeleteIf those shoes were actually these shoes, then they would be minimalist (and awesome), but they would also sink into the soil.
ReplyDeleteI want to change my vote. I thought I liked them, then I saw the photo of them on feet - yuck. Not for me.
ReplyDeleteEw. Le Chateau. Just need to throw some black, stretchy bootleg pants over those bad boys.

ReplyDeleteFrom the ankle strap forward, yes. The heel makes them look like they came from Bakers at the mall.
