STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

sephorablue · Marc Jacobs

what do you think about these?

pollyjean23 · Marc Jacobs

I think they are very pretty. That style is quite popular right now; and these are a great example of them. Some can get bulky-looking. These look like they won't.

erin · Chanel

those are very pretty! 200 still seems a lot, but if that's in your budget, they are very nice shoes. (and would probably be more versatile than the clunkier chloe versions)

sephorablue · Marc Jacobs

yeah Erin 200 is a lot, you're right... that's why I'm debating how versatile and classic I think they are. I'd much rather pay less for a style like this, but the problem is that all the less expensive versions I've seen so far look really cheap. Feeling very conflicted!

jacks435 · Kenneth Cole

I like them! Like Pollyjean said, that style can sometimes be too clunky, but these have a nice streamlined feel to them, and I can see you making them work.

Kelly · Hermes

Just like everyone else, I like that they're a less chunky version of the super-chunky shoes I've seen everywhere. But I don't think they'll be "in style" for years and years and depending on your budget $200 could be a problem for something trendy.

Lilykind · Hermes

I like them, as long as the padding is adequate at the foot of the shoe. I think they are fairly classic...I had shoes sort of like that, but less streamlined, years ago. As long as you know you're going to wear them to death, you should go for it!

Kitty · Hermes

I really like them!

littlebean · Kate Spade

I think they look great! $200 is a bit pricey for a trendy-ish pair of shoes, but I think that you'll get a lot of awesome-looking wear out of them!

rlutz · Chanel

I love them!

Christine · Coach

I really like them!

NCshopper · Hermes

Those are really hot. If you can swing it, I say get them! I think it'd be worth it to pay the $200 for them as opposed to buying a pair that were cheaper that you just didn't love and looked clunkier. There's really nothing about the shoe that looks like it wouldn't be stylish years from now, so I think they're probably a good investment.

kmd · Kate Spade

They are AMAZING! Get them!!!

kittenheels · Coach

I think they are really nice looking. My only concern would be what Lilykind said about the thickness of the sole. I have a pair of similar sandals from Cole Haan last year with about a 3.5 inch heel, and the sole isn't quite cushiony enough, so they hurt my feet if I need to do serious walking. But, you can always order and return if they don't work out, so I say jump on them!

FashionFreak · Kenneth Cole

I would get them, they are hot.

Hermes

very nice, and i'm all for tights with an open toe, but I'm feeling like these are too far on the sandal side for the tights with open toe look -- JMO

Agreed. I also think thta $200 is a bit much.

erin · Chanel

hey, these are also on sale at saks for the same price, but i bet if you stalk them/keep the item #, you will be able to track em down for cheap later.

twinkle · Coach

i think they're a bit much too... what about these instead? kinda similar, and on sale for 50 at BR:

Liz · Kenneth Cole

Those are so gorgeous! But they do look a little uncomfy. hmm
