The peeptoe opening is too small and the heel is way too thin compared to the body of the shoe. I do like cut-outs and peek-a-boo features though.
The vampy superhigh stiletto also doesn't make sense with the cutesy, bubble-letter main, you know?
Just now ordered these. Been keeping a (Firefox) tab open with them for awhile. Should I or should I not? Kinda hoping I'd lose interest, but alas...the consumer in me won again.
I live vicariously through Strutter spending habits. I keep telling myself I'll buy certain shits when I have more money, but since I don't want the responsibility of a challenging, profitable career, that might not be for a while.
I don't like the gladiator sandal/heel thread. I'm sick of seeing women's shoes with 30 criss cross straps all the way up to the ankle. How many more seasons before this fades away???
*PLEASE let's not turn this into an unattainables thread because of Acosta*
This is some trivial beef shit, but Acosta's response is a breath of fresh air.
Maino on Rosa Acosta:
???I looked at her ???boom??? she???s cute but she had cheap shoes. Someone asked me would I ever try to talk to her and I said, ???No disrespect but [that ain't] my type. Look at your shoes. Look at your bag. I don???t even f*ck women like you.??? Imagine I pull up somewhere and you got Jay-z, you got Diddy and n*ggas about their business. I pull up in my bentley and jump out, and this b*tch got on her cheap azz shoes. I don???t want you, if I can???t sport you.???
Rosa Acosta responded:
???First of all he said I???m cheap. That I wear cheap shoes. There is a difference between simple and cheap. I will not wear something that is fake so I will wear whatever I can afford. If I can just afford Forever 21 shoes, then that???s what I am going to buy. And anyway, I wasn???t aware that they gave you lessons about women???s shoes in prison."
....
"I am still the same girl that came from the Dominican Republic. My family has never been rich. I???m still not rich. Why would I go and buy a $2000 pair of shoes that I can???t afford when I can actually help my family that???s still living in DR, or I can save my money or I could spend money on my education. What is wrong with buying something that???s inexpensive???
Cool post, Bassie. I was talking to a friend yesterday about how retailers like Forever 21, made it okay to wear inexpensive, on-trend items, rather than overpriced designer pieces that will be relevant for 2 seasons at the most.

Rosa is a winner for that one. Just because it's not expensive doesn't mean it won't look good.

Her response pretty much makes her attainable. Just sayin'.

Thorocraft - The Trevor
Nice! Much better than a similar pair by Opening Ceremony for a lot less! Great buy!
I'm feeling these right now:

Sno! What's up?? Hope all is well with you, sir!
I'm feeling pretty much all of Thorocraft's collection, and they're relatively inexpensive too!
These are similar to the "Visvims" you hooked me up with. They're still in GREAT condition! Any more pop up over there?
Don't think I can pull these off, but they're interesting nonetheless:
What up Herm!!!
Thanks for the headsup, those Thorocraft do indeed look real nice and the price are absolutely reasonable!
Those "Visvims"...the quality are so damn average, I stop bothered looking 'cos I thought it'd be a complete waste of your time, money and space! The Thorocraft moccasins looks much more well-crafted than the half-ass stitiching on those FBTs!
Gonna cop these from Taiwan, 1/4th the price of an UK bench-made brogue, but it should do the job of everyday walking for me:

Those gray mid-cuts are very very nice.
These woven brown shoes are great, but the colour is ALL WRONG. They look cheap and plasticy, they need to be much lighter or much darker. That orangey-brown shade hardly ever works. And the laces look terrible. Do they come in other colours?

Exactly, Bassie! That little lip around the ankle bugs me too. Unfortunately, that's the only color they come in.
Yea, I agree on the lip, too.
Positively orthapaedic!
It's funny, they have all the makings to be a really smart and elegant shoe, but the colour and the lip and cheap laces undermine it at every turn.
But those gray ones are soooooo nice!
Can we eventually see a pic of the Trevors in action? I just don't know how I feel about how high the laces sit....need to see them on!

Looks like I have to take back what I said - the pair on the left are the orangey colour I was hating on before, but those shoes are terrific in every way. I think both pairs of shoes are just lovely.

You mean the woven ones I posted above? Or were you referring to a different pair? The ones you just posted look a lot more vibrant than the woven ones.

Not sure if I can pull off those double monk straps, regardless. Shoe buckles make me feel pilgrimish.

i enjoyed it. i watched it with a friend who has little interest in fashion, and she had no idea who anyone was.

Amazing colours, love the buckles, ridiculously high heels but at least they are sturdy.
I think these are gorgeous spring/summer shoes.
