intriguing new toe box style

jrhampt · Kenneth Cole

I don't know if I would say I like them, but I'm open to them. They don't look TOO square.

yeah, they're kind of a softened square - like a cross between square and round.

i think i like them...especially the "pleating" in the second pair. i'd definitely give them a shot.

They are fine to me as long as it isn't drasticly square.

I like it. A wider toe box is always welcome even if one has skinny feet.

I also like an oblique toe - squared off, but at an angle. All of these styles are "mensy" to me, which I'm drawn to.

i think i kind of like it....i would have to try it on tho...

FashionPrincess · Hermes

I'd have to see what they look like on first, but they definitely look like they have potential. And I agree, I like the pleating on the second pair.

Kitty · Hermes

I like them in the examples you posted. I want to try them on now and see how they look!

erin · Chanel

i like them because they remind me of pointe shoes, but i guess it depends on the specific shoe!

boobaby · Kate Spade

I like it. Its kind of funny, recently I went to Lori's in Chicago looking for a pair of round toe chocolate flats. Everything I liked was boxed toe or whatever its called. It was kind of annoying, because I really wanted round toe shoes for a particular outfit, but I was definitely intrigued.

Kelly · Hermes

I think the second pair is adorable and the toe box suits the style very well.

But I don't like the first pair....so I guess it depends on the shoe how I feel about it

sephorablue · Marc Jacobs

I really like it.

Hedvig · Coach

I usually prefer a round toe over anything else but I really like these!

ILoveChoo · Hermes

I'm undecided. I think I'd need to see them IRL. I'm not crazy about the first pair, but the second look pretty cute. I think in the first, I'm more opposed to the contrast than the shape.

brazilian · Dooney & Bourke

I like them...but would only wear them with skirts or wide leg pants.

greendiamond · Marc Jacobs

I was looking at a pair of Cole Haan shoes with this toe style. I was going to buy them so I guess I liked it enough. However, I was also taken with the comfort of the shoe, and rationalized the new look with the fact that none of my shoes had that shape.

(I didn't end up buying the shoe because I couldn't find the lizard emboss anywhere by the time I decided to buy them).

And, now I would like to pick up a pair with this toe box style. Why not? I've got every other

This is the Cole Haan shoe I liked...

I'm not averse to the new toe style. It's not straight-up square, like everyone said -- more moderate. I think it has potential.

Also, I like those, greendiamond!

atlgirl · Gucci

I dunno...not feeling this look especially. But sometimes things take a while to grow on me. And I'm really, really into round toes right now, even though I still love a good pointy stilletto. DH is patiently waiting for me to get off the round toe kick. He doesn't like them. I think if I only wore pointy toes, he'd be a happy boy. :)

Aurora · Marc Jacobs

I like them. I can't wear a pointy toe to save my life. I know everyone hates square toes but that is usually the most comfortable on my feet followed by round toes. I'm excited to try these out.
