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.
