That someone would buy it. Sadly? They're right.

I just can't even figure out what they were trying for their. Platform golf shoes?

If I had to guess? This (http://www.skechers.com/shoes-and-clothing/women/product/bikers_-_aspire/nat/q/natural) was the other part.

Oh god, it is. Awww, poor Fendi is stealing from Skecher now.

*makes a face* I've never really been big on shoes, but that's just hideous.

I suppose I should just be glad the Fendi logo isn't on every inch of it. Maybe. Except so ugly.

The shoes I wear in my kickboxing class are cuter than those.

The sad part is, I bet they sell just because they're Fendi.

O_o

...the designer was clearly a misogynist shoe fetishist who couldn't decide between sneakers and shag-me heels as his favorite, and had no respect for a lady's ankles?

I like you already.

Pretty much it. I just can't even find anything aesthetic about it.

Heh. Thanks. I er, well...my partner at work's a woman who loves her boots, but hates ankle-breakers. Besides...ow? Just...ow. Makes me want to design a squishier bunny-slipper out of spite.

I have a lot of platform heels and learned from some of the best how to do anything in them - The ever amazing Pepper Potts can do anything - but my god is it too much to ask for pretty if you're slapping a nearly seven hundred dollar price tag on them?

S-seven...hundred...

...for that?

Not custom thigh-high pirate boots with real gold buckles--and a complimentary full pirate costume to go with it? Or...Emma Peel walkers with a complimentary leather catsuit? That's...ugh, ripoff.

Six and a half but about the same.

Of course Fendi also makes an eighty dollar bib for babies. A single damn bib. One.

You've got some exacting tastes, don't you? I tried the thigh high boots once. Didn't like the look on me. Stuck with thigh high stockings and heels.

Eighty dollars. *shakes head*

Actually I don't have exacting tastes at all except for "is she comfortable in it and do I like her". I just know you can get a lot of awesome stuff for six hundred fifty. And my partner is female and hangs about with costumers. Heh. Mostly the SCA.

Nah, You seem more the silk than leather sort, as far as most flattering materials, but that might just be the hair. White or amber suede might go.

*Shrugs and grins* I have been getting a bit into clothing design.

I know people I bet would buy it too. That's the sad part.

I admit, I'd love to be able to drop that much on a pair of shoes but I think if I had the money, I wouldn't. Or at least not on shoes that ugly.

Yeah, pretty much. Only like leather in my accessories. My last photo shoot was in white silk, actually.

Unfortunately, there's not enough overlap between 'people with cash' and 'people with taste'.

Photo shoot? I'm not a pro in the field, I just make things for friends. I'm also the only straight guy in my group metro enough to be dragged shopping regularly and enjoy it. Heh.

And sadly too many will spend too much cash for an ideal not attraction.

I was doing a bit of modeling while I was in France. I sort of ran to forget my life. Didn't work well.

Never does.Though a hiatus can help one get one's head together. I've...done a lot of traveling, myself. Japan was great.

Why they ran out of what they were smoking so quickly?

There is nothing that good on the market. If there is, I want some.

Except I didn't say that. Uhmm...

So with you there.

There is...just so much bad here. So much wrong.

That's the worst part! There is nothing redeeming about them.

Not really an expert on womens' shoes, but damn, those are pretty ugly.

There is NOTHING redeeming about them. At all. And at $640?

640 bucks?! Oh HELL no...

I admit, I have paid almost that much but they're boots I've been wearing for five years.

Don't think I've ever paid that much for a pair of shoes, but if I really liked 'em, and thought it was worth it, I would. Those? Aint worth it.

Mine were a graduation gift from my dad. Only thing I asked for for Christmas for three years. Guess he was listening.

Nope, they aren't.

That there are women so brainwashed by the media and their peers that they will buy whatever a particular designer puts before them, regardless of fashion or function.

Yes, yes. Like I haven't heard this spiel a million times. Blah blah capitalism is evil.

I can't ever tell Harry I said that, even in jest.

I have no problem with capitalism. I have a problem with the idiotic masses who will not think for themselves and instead will see a brand and decide that it must be fashionable and something they must have, even if it is hideous and has no functionality.

Yet no one is oohing and aaahing over them. So apparently no one here is idiotic.

As for functionality, sometimes the entire function of a shoe is just to be attractive. It's the fun part about heels.

I am sure that the company's records would indicate a fair amount of sale, even if no one in the handful of people who have answered you finds the shoes worth buying.

I prefer function over fashion.

I don't have stock in them and I don't think I own a single pair they've made so I could care less. I'm not worried about mocking the masses, just a pair of shoes. It's called light hearted fun on a cloudy day.

They're not mutually exclusive.

Thought was involved in the process?

We're coming to the conclusion it was really good drugs and stealing from Skechers at this point.

Looks more like bad drugs to me, but I've seen the things good drugs can do for creative minds.

I don't do drugs. My father... He was a cop. I might not have been a good girl but I wasn't going to be dragged in by the cops and have them call Captain Stacy to tell him his daughter was high.

Ah, well I knew more than enough circles where drugs were in vogue. Everyone has their experiences.
