You know, I'll admit that it's tougher for me to chat about multiple pairs of shoes rather than just one, especially when comparing the two. With the two shoes in Post #10,009, and with Valentine's Day, I'll let you know what my heart feels about those shoes.
First, the Yay or Nay.
The open-toe slingback oxford pumps are a Nay! Not real fond of oxfords, but I'm ESPECIALLY not fond of these. Even I remember some Keds-like sneakers from the mid-late 1990s that had open toes and a slingback design. Those oxfords remind me of those... only uglier. They'd make better proper sandals than an oxford. I may even change my mind if these were pumps. These chocolate brown oxfords give a sick taste to my stomach and eyes.
The sandals by Stella M. are a Nay! as well. These are like the thong sandals from Hell. If someone says those are cute, then someone needs to tell me where the "cute" is. Same goes for "sexy" in relation to these. I wouldn't even recommend these in black or white. And when that happens, you know the shoe is absolutely terrible.
Second, the recommendation.
If I had to choose between the two, I wouldn't pick either one. But if I forced to pick one, maybe the sandals. But both are fashionable fails. Terrible shoes.
Happy Valentine's to all!
