Love it or hate it?

I wish Zappos had a feature that would filter all of the wide width shoes to show just those that are “cute” and/or “trendy.” I really am happy with how much better the selection of wide width shoes is becoming in general but I get extra excited when I spot a shoe that’s super trendy. Sometimes, my vision gets clouded by the trendiness and I forget to ask myself if I actually like the damn shoe. Funny, that’s how I am with plus size clothes, too. Hmm.

Anyway, this is the Kellie by Gabriella Rochar in the black and white patent option. Putting aside the fact that it has a 4 inch heel and I’d never be able to walk in them, I think they’re pretty cute. I do have to ask myself whether I think they’re cute because they’re actually cute or if I’m just excited that they’d maybe fit my wide feet.

So, do you love them or hate them? Pretend that a 4 inch heel is totally easy to walk in and you’d never, ever snap an ankle while wearing them.

I used to wear four inch heels a lot, and these are just suberb!

I don't know what I'd wear them with but I like them!!

Damn my weak ankles...

Don't like them. The peep toe conflicts with the rest of the style of the shoe for me - those are the type of shoes I'd be most likely to wear with tights (although I'd prefer it has a full back on it instead of a strap), but I can't see myself wearing a full top coverage shoe with bare legs, which is what I expect with a slingback and peep toe.

The heel is too high for the style, not just because of walkability, and the slight platform plus the high heel and patent leather gives it a little bit of a hooker look to me. I like patent leather. I like peep toes. I like high heels. I like slingbacks. I like full coverage on top.

Just not all together.

They're too busy, in my opinion.

Love. On all levels - I love them.

Hate it. (1) I can't stand peep toes, and (2) straps like that always cut my ankles up.

I love them! I just wish I could walk in them without busting my behind!

[Rebecca]

Hideous.

I *love* them, honestly and I can think of about a dozen outfits to wear them with, now if only I had somewhere to go...

I actually bought them after reading this post and they are surprisingly terrible in person, for many reasons.

1. I think I'm allergic to whatever synthetic material/dye they use for these. My feet were itchy and red after I took them off after trying them on for 2 minutes.
2. They smell horrible, like burned plastic.
3. They look much cheaper in person than they do on the site. The synthetic "patent leather" parts look like cheap plastic, and they don't lay properly on your foot. The lace up part had this big fold in it that looked terrible.

So yeah, I'm returning them today. I wanted to like these so badly, but they're just very disappointing, poorly constructed shoes.
