Yay or Nay Wednesday

Two weeks gone and our last Yay or Nay offering is none the prettier! While some of you thought they were cool in an ironic kind of way (Great Scott!), most of you agreed that they were back-to-the-future beastly. If you fancy a trip back in time, they're $78.95 from Zappos.

This week's offering is part high fashion, part school shoe; but are they bang-up beautiful or patent painful? Yay or Nay and why?

Yay or Nay Wednesday - Comments

A tentative Yay, as I like this shoe in theory but something about it just isn't perfect (maybe the toe?).

Nay, though I really wanted to like them because I generally do like this style. The toe just looks too long and that particular style of heel has never appealed to me. The two together makes the shoe seem overly long and goodness knows my feet are big enough without the shoes making them look bigger.

Let me say this:

If I saw these for the right price--say, 70% off at DSW, I would snap them up in a second! I would plan all sorts of fun and ironic outfits to wear them with, and I'd store them in their box, taking them out to look at once in a while.

Then I'd wear them to class one day, and would spend the whole time staring at my feet while spacing out. At the end of class I'd trade 'em out for the flip-flops I always keep in my bag, and carry them for the 7-block walk home. When I got home I'd lump them unceremoniously on the floor, thinking about my wasted money but not yet resigned to abandoning them. They'd lay in the floor making me feel a twinge of guilt every time I walked by, until the next time I vacuumed. Then I'd shove them to the back of my closet and eventually donate them to Goodwill.

In other words, Nay. I don't have the money to throw away on wear-once shoes.
