Instant reaction: Eww, yuck, we hate them!
More considered reaction: Well, you know, they're just a pair of woven sandals, really. Colourful, sure, but still, just a pair of sandals. So maybe not so bad?
Third reaction: Nope, still hate 'em.

Actually the shape isn’t bad – quite elegant in fact and I’m sure the weave would look better in black.
View CommentI’d have them in black or multicolour.
He’s just doing another plainer version of those shoes for LV that are patch work in luxe bits and bobs that he threw together on his kitchen table.

Well…here’s the thing, I’m kind of all about the mexican/caribbean thing right now and these fit right in to that aesthetic. Also, the colors are distinctly Marc, with the bright colors toned down with some subtle somberness. Still, I don’t care for that particular type of shoe… the strap and tassle is a bit much. Bottom line is, I don’t hate them.

Too bad! Too many colours!

Don’t hate them, wouldn’t wear them.

I really like the colours and shape, but the tassels and curvy heels are just too much. If they had plain woven straps and straight heels instead, I’d love them.

Nope, too much woven colorfulness. Do not like.

The shape of the heel is the only piece I really dislike, the colors aren’t my favorite, but not terrible

It’s the tassels that make them so so…

I like them. They remind my of some of the shoes created (in the US) during the war, when most materials were rationed and for example woven raffia in different colurs was used.

too many mismatchy colours – design however is ok

funky heel

Ewww. I hate them. They actually made my skin crawl. I can’t even decide what I hate the most.

Instant: Hideous!
View CommentConsidered: The heels are shapely, in a nice way, and there’s a practical tie to keep the slingbacks from sliding down my heel, as they usually do.
Conclusion: I hate the primary color scheme, and the tassels are wretched; I would never wear them!

Don’t hate them; wouldn’t pay $645 for them.

I like them, but the heel is a little much. You’d have to wear them with something very simple.
