Meh. I'd rather wear something from my growing armada of Keens. Oh so comfy.

/Too clumsy for heels.
//Would rather destroy my feet doing something more fun than hobbling around.

Ringshadow: Wouldn't own'em. Refuse to own high heels. Would consider platform buckleboots.

/love my Dickies steeltoes
//also own two pairs of sneakers (one for gym), combat boots (need to be replaced), and sandals
///and a set of kneehigh boots for cosplay


I think I love you.

i like em. totally depends on what you wear. no other flashy accessories at all. That's the type of shoe that speaks for the whole outfit.

you have to know how to wear it though.

bonus if they're comfortable.

What outfit, just rock the shoes baby

Those are kind of spiffy. They're not $1500 worth of spiffy...but if I saw a pair at a thrift store, I'd snap them up.

/okay, maybe I'd check the tag first
//50% off tag? gimme!
///I have a little black dress that would look good with them

I'm your girlfriend, so I'm really getting a kick out of these replies.

I want. I want. if only they were more like $150 I could swing it..

Ew. Maybe they'd look better if they weren't worn with a pair of socks underneath of them & paired up with a matching outfit. I think that with the right person wearing the right outfit with the right personality, those would look really cute.

Anyone else? We'd look like it was happy hour at the insane asylum or like a failed drag queen. I know I couldn't wear them.
 
2007-09-12 01:59:21 AM
Those aren't legos.
 
2007-09-12 02:00:32 AM
What could anyone possibly wear that would match with those?

Or is that the point?

The knock offs should be arriving in a few months, so you might get your wish.

They are cool shoes. Obviously designed using some 3d modeling package. Would be even neater if they came with interchangeable pieces.

Chiggity Chza: I'd go barefoot if the only thing I had to wear was high heels. Unless we're talking a walking-over-shattered-glass scenario, then I might tough it in the heels long enough to get over the glass but that's it (and I'd be screwed anyways, my balance sucks).

Barakku: ^^ Aw thank you.

/has, however, been pondering fetish-style buckleboots

Pave_the_Planet: I'm almost 6' tall, so heels are a no.

But man, I'd love a pair of the 1-2-3 Rollerskates again.


I'm almost 6 feet tall and i love to wear them.

embrace your height:)

high heels FTW
 
2007-09-12 02:18:14 AM
no she doesnt
 
2007-09-12 02:18:35 AM
Hecks yeah I would buy those shoes! I love I love I love shoes!!! My email address is lovemyshoes :)

They would have to be worn with the right outfit, of course. Perhaps black capris and a red top? Basically anything else with a black base and a primary color would work.

/I hear they have vaccum shoes now.
//Those are what I really want.
///Best way ever to clean a house!

I like Balenciaga's recent collections, but the shoes? Conversation pieces worn by attention whores.

See last year's model. These shoes aren't made for walking.

If you wearing those high heels, balance would not play a factor because you would already be on your back, getting screwed.

I'd rather have these:

And hey, they're 100 bucks. Thanks Ebay, I'll think about it.

Chiggity Chza: Because men love woman who wobble a lot and fall over while wheeling their arms around. "Can't get the hang of it.." I'll stick to my Dickies boots, thanks though!
 
2007-09-12 02:26:59 AM
I'm only here to join the cadre of heel-hating women. I love 'em on occasion, but damn they hurt my feet, and I really don't need the extra height (5'9" and happy with it!).

Awesome. Always been a fan of solid platform boots. Bugged my girlfriend to buy some from eBay for a Halloween costume :)
 
2007-09-12 02:32:13 AM
girls girls girls!

high heels aren't about height!

it's about having to stand up so straight your tits, ass, and legs look amaaaaaaaaazing.

;)
 
2007-09-12 02:38:21 AM
if it didn't have some festy old grey sock in it...


I would wear those, they're colourful and look quite comfy
 
2007-09-12 02:38:29 AM
This is the first shoe that Balenciaga has released in a while that I'll actually be buying. Yes, that's right, I'll spend that much money on shoes. Why? Because these are ART.
 
2007-09-12 02:41:11 AM
Not really like lego.

and yer damn rights I want them. Weird shoes are the shiat.
 
2007-09-12 02:41:35 AM
Also, if you visit the Balenciaga website you can see that the inspiration for half of this season's footwear is Timberlands, snowboard bindings and Trek sandals. There's a version of the shoe in the article in a greyscale color palette, and those are even hotter.

/slave to fashion
//will be spending over seven months of savings for one pair of shoes
///retarded, but hot as hell
 
2007-09-12 02:41:39 AM
I'd wear 'em. Wouldn't pay for them, but I'd definitely wear them.
 
2007-09-12 02:41:56 AM
forgot to say...

You never. ever. wear shoes like that with SOCKS. Ruins the entire effect.

As a male with a "WOMEN in shoes fetish" I'm really getting a kick out of these replies.

No seriously.

Women in shoes are obscenely hot. I could probably fap to this thread.

Only a brit would pay $1500 for a high-heeled strap sling back sandle and wear socks with it.

The funny thing is Lego actually makes a shoe. It's based on that Bionical shiat. It has to be the most retarded product they make.

2007-09-12 03:48:26 AM
Put them in decent colors and they might not be so bad. Maybe stick to just one color with grey and/or black.

2007-09-12 03:59:25 AM
Even with bright colors, as long as they use only one, it doesn't look nearly as bad. It might look pretty good with the right outfit.

It also makes more business sense this way. One shoe style with every color means you buy one pair of shoes and you are done. 4 different shoes each with a single color means people might buy more than one pair.
 
2007-09-12 04:21:11 AM
I've been coveting those shoes for months, so I'm getting a kick out of these replies.

They're made by Balenciaga, for what it's worth.

/too cheap to actually buy them
 
2007-09-12 05:12:36 AM
I do NOT understand the replies drooling over these shoes. They're HIDEOUS! My god. If I wanted to wear some clunky, gaudy and awfully-colored plastic crap with bolts sticking out of it, I'd wear these.

Gawd, people actually would buy and wear those fugly things?
