Yay or Nay Wednesday

Well, last week's Yay or Nay was a bit of a wash-out, with even some of the 'Yays' being hesitant and unenthusiastic - and that was their words, not mine! If you were one of the few enthusiastic Yays, the 'Kario' wedges are KG by Kurt Geiger and will set you back £85.

This week's offering is a... sandal-boot; an extension of the "we'll-make-a-boot-out-of-anything" trend of the past few years. But what do you think of this particular boot offspring? Are they boot-y-licious or bloomin' bizarre? Yay or Nay and why?

I kinda like them- I can see them with a pair of skinny jeans and a leather jacket... But, I'd have to try them on.....

Is NaYay a word?
Very on the fence with these. I do love the shape of the heel, but the white block across the top kind of throws me off...
These would definitely require a try on and a walk around the shoe store. I probably still couldn't make up my mind...

I think they're silly-looking and they look like they might be quite awkward to try and walk in. To me these shoes look stumpy. NAY!

I like the idea but hate the execution. If it were a close-toed colorblock boot, I'd be all over it, but I can't see how my toes sticking out wouldn't look silly. Nay.

Yuk, Nay.
Aside from the colours, there isn't a single thing I like about these shoes. I hate the fat clunky heel, I hate the open-toe boot look, and I detest thong straps on my shoes - so uncomfortable!
NAY NAY NAY.

Nay! Unstylish, ugly, uninspiring, uncomfortable looking, um.... ugh!

Oh goody! I saw these over on Running in Heels and I loved them. They're original, I love the color style, innovative, and I do think they look comfortable. I want these! Yay!

I love them, they're modern, a bit architectural, stylish, on-trend, unconventional (I could go on). Obviously, you'd have to be a confident lady to wear these, not to mention with a bit of extra cash as these will probably go out of fashion by next season. Personally, I don't see the problem with having open-toe boots. Who's to say you can only wear boots in cold weather? And surely they're not really "boots", but sandals in the shape of boots. You obviously wouldn't wear them in winter would you. I like that there's an alternative to the boring sandal.

Yay, I think. I really like the color and the shape, but they also remind me of something you might find for 2.50 at a thirft store.
