Yay or Nay: Charlotte Olympia platforms

yaynay.JPGI'm generally a (huge) fan of Charlotte Olympia, and have far more time for chunky platforms than most. But despite this, I find myself rather unsure about the label's new platform wedges. Somehow, the expanse of black suede making up the shoe and its platform is a little too much, and the boat-style wedge in itself a little ugly.

Overall, I can't help thinking that this looks like a shoe that's been plonked on top of another shoe - then put on sale for a laugh by Net-a-Porter at the not-cheap price of £555. But what do you think?

Take part in more yay or nays!

Abi:
As a guy, no, not this model but the heels would make excellent sandals

NAY the shoes themselves are OK but the platform is just weird.

Like the new site design though.

Thanks Camilla :)

Yeah, I don't think she's quite on the right track with this design. Still, it's the first one I've not liked!
