Style on Trial: Irregular Choice stack-heeled shoes
Whoops, looks like the Wicked Witch of the West left a shoe behind, Cinderella style! Or that's who we're reminded of when we look at these shoes, anyway (The witch, that is. Not Cinders.). There's just something very witchy about that heel, which also has the look of a crooked chimney stack about it, don't you think? Perfect for Halloween, then, but for the rest of the year? Probably not.
We're going to give good old Irregular Choice the benefit of the doubt here, though, and leave this decision up to you, our jury. After all, these are far from the worst shoes they've ever made, and they're certainly unusual, which is what IC are famous for, so who knows, maybe you'll find a certain charm in that crooked chimney look. Or then again, maybe not.
Tell us then: what do you think of these shoes? Strictly for fairytale witches, or would you wear them too?
The heel isn’t the worst part. The entire design is ugly, it looks like low quality (What’s with this flap on the side? Badly cut and/or coloured?) and seems to be VERY uncomfortable.
The idea isn’t bad, but very, very poorly done. These shoes are ugly, but I’m still open to a stack heeled shoe.
i think the heel in itself is interesting and could work with the right shoe… which this most definitely is not. the rest of the shoe is hideous.
i like the heel but not with that open toe shoe…it’s too much in one look…close the toe and i’ll get on board
i really love them, but i prefer the black/white version. so cool!
Well, if Jack Skellington ever gets into cross dressing…
I really hate them, there really ugly.
To bad even for a witch.
