Shoes: Yay or Nay? #2

[John_M.]

So you want some ideas on these boots in Post #11,154? I already know that people are going to disagree with me, so read me before you plan your attack. Those Pedro Garcia boots from a past post were boots that I yay'ed that PinkPrincess113 posted. However, these boots are a Nay (somewhat)! This is like a cheap attempt at making Dr. Martens more chic, and fails. This is rugged meets chic. This is tough meet chic. The end result of these boots paired with that kind of heel equals a shoe that tries too hard to be chic despite its ruggedness. Someone in a past reply to one of my posts said that tough and chic CAN work, as demonstrated by Ann Demuelemeester. Well, nice try trying to make the world's most romantic Dr. Martens-style boots. Nothing cute about these boots. They aren't an eyesore, though. So my dislike is only limited.

I'd stay away from these. If I want a rugged boot, I'd look for a traditional pair of Dr. Martens-style boots. If I wanted chic, I'd go with either a decent pair of boots with that kind of heel give or take a lace-up design. You can't have both at the same time, and those boots are a disasterous reason why. Fail boots.

Now go ahead and disagree with me or prove I have no sense of style. This ain't my first rodeo...

lol John_m- you take this so seriously.
timemachine-yay
pinkprincess- yay, but Topshop did a similar shoe a couple of seasons back which is much more subtle and I think I prefer it: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=2180327
If you've decided and are choosing between colour, i'd go with black.

PinkPrincess113 yay!

 

[luluposh]

e-v-elina - nay, not a fan of the heel
aris - nay, too pointy for my taste + i don't like the white tip
timemachinedream - yay! adore the colour too, great for all seasons
pinkprincess113 - i don't like the patent black pair, not a huge fan of the brown ones either, but for that price, not bad...wouldn't spend more though!

So this is a new "Yay or Nay?" From booties to boots, let me weigh in on the boots in Post #46. I can honestly say that these would be perfect for the jeans/pants-into-boots look that many can't get enough of. I think they're pretty nice. So here's my Yay! for those. Not madly in love with them, but they're manageable.

 

[Legyviel]

nay... don't like the colour and pointyness. sorry

 

[Velony]

nay from me too. I'm sure you can find nicer boots for fall.

 

[pinkvogue]

luluposh-nay

 

[daggi]

luluposh - sorry but nay

 

[hautechild]

luluposh - nay

 

[luluposh]

I'll skip on the boots then I was unsure of the gold on top and the pointy toes, so I shall keep looking!

 

[PinkPrincess113]

[loverunway]

nay- I really dislike that shape of boot in general and the cork makes them even worse. I also really don't see the point in suede black boots which are presumably meant to be more wintery to have a peep toe!? I really don't like the new trend of peep toe on anything...

 

[timemachinedream]

yay to the pedro garcia's! I've seen a similar style in person, and they look really cute.

 

[STYLEOClDE]

pinkprincess, yay.
