Stilettos over Sneakers

[ParadEyes]

[Velouria]

i'm so glad someone was able to find the pictures! i went to Jane Magazine's website but none of the pictures from the editorial are up. i will try to go on campus and scan it since everyone wants to see it though.

Reminds me of these which I saw in Japan May '05 and had to take a pic, someone told me they thought they were by Marc Jacobs, IIRC.

Okay. This is bad. Now I've seen sneaker pumps (boots that have sneaker-like designs). That's fine. My favorite dressy sneaker I've seen on ladies was the Binder shoes by Steve Madden. But this stilettos over sneakers thing? This is just another example of layering gone too far and needs to be burned to the ground. I'm thankful no one has come up with wearing something like this. First of all, wear sneakers OR high-heels. Why combine the two and like this? Ladies usually wear sneakers for comfort or for more casual looks. Ladies wear high-heeled sandals to enjoy letting their feet and legs show. Some don't like high heels because they can be hurtful to women's feet while walking. You have to be a complete dope if you think that pairing sneakers with high heels is "cute." I've grown sick of Converse-type sneakers, so I was irked about these sneakers being used. If I was a girl, I'd wear one style of shoe or the other. I personally think layering has gone too far and has ruined many good looks. Minimalism is sometimes the best way (and only way) to go no matter what models or celebrities sport the look best.

The idea is not that bad honestly.
But I wouldn't wear the JPG ones, though they seem fun.

I love how the girl in #27 rocked her stiletto sneakers, it worked for her.

I don't know. I don't think you can go too far with clothes. It's all fantasy to me. Maybe I just don't care as much. I'm thankful there are designers out there to make my mind boggle.

They lack some sorts of function, but the doubling up on two ideas in such a bizarre way isn't all bad.

exactly softie

Those heels are just a ripoff of what Manolo did back in 2003 I think it was. Anyone who's anyone had those high heeled boots, J lo, Paris, Beyonce, like everyone had them.

 

[Meg]

they aren't a ripoff at all of the timberland style boots that manolo did. Manolo did work style boots with a heel. These are made to look they are converse strapped into a pair of stiletto's. Completely different looks and goals.

 

[larien]

they look so funny to me
i would never wear them...

 

[ingvildel]

I actually saw I girl in "converse stillettos" some time ago. Ew

 

[rollagasper]

anything that blends sneakers and stilleto is just wrong. It looks so basketball girlfriend trashy.

As I've said before, only the Steve Madden "Binder" shoe is the best dressy sneaker for ladies. Here is a link to where you can see how this shoe stacks up to people trying to mix stilletos with sneakers:

It is a high-heeled wedge that thinks it's a sneaker. But I tell you, I think it's a pretty cute shoe for ladies. I once known an Asian lady who dressed mostly casual and worn shoes like these. In fact, I probably dare someone to try to combine these shoes with a completely professional outfit or classy carer outfit. I think this is the most stylish way to go if you love sneakers with high heels. Only there's a catch with this shoe- it's a wedge. I say this is my favorite classy sneaker or classy shoe that looks like a sneaker. At least this looks better than trying to pair perfectly-fine stiletto heeled sandals with sneakers. Who the heck even thought this was a great idea? Who smoked crack thinking they found the perfect shoe combination?

good point. i always forget that some things aren't actually produced. i hope these don't go into production because the average person really wouldn't know how to wear them...

Oh my.....

NO!
