Yay or Nay?: Wedges

Posted by Alexandra C. | Monday August 15, 201154 comments

Be still my beating heart. These United Nude shoes are part of a collaboration with Iris Van Herpen and as soon I saw them, I could feel my breathing stop. Some girls are in love with actual living people, I prefer these shoes. The shoes are called 'Crystallization' and they'll run you about $995.00 (CDN).


So, pretty much they're out of my league but that doesn't stop me from looking! I love these lace up wedges. The bondage theme contrasted with the nude colour is simply gorgeous. They are so unique and eye popping; you could get away with wearing a simple black tank, skinny jeans and these shoes as a statement- you'd still probably be the most fashionable girl in the room.

I understand however that these babies are pretty avant garde. I mean, really - who could pull them off? And talk about practicality, you might as well be strapping giant boxes onto your feet, 'cause these look like they are going to crush your feet! 

So - would you ever wear these? The question is, yay or nay? Let us know by leaving a comment below, one randomly selected commenter will win a prize!

These are a tad too wild for me...
like little cages for your feet! Maybe if I saw it in black? xD

Umm... nay.... they are a little out there for me. I like cute shoes, but I don't like drawing a lot of attention to my feet. All the power to you women with the courage to wear them! :)

NAY! Sorry--it is a bit much and seems to be a one time wonder shoe!

Nay...,however, I do feel that those with more courage than I have can pull these off.

I would have to say nay to this one. A criteria I have for shoes in addition to it looking nice is whether it is practical to use and its versatility - being able to be paired with multiple outfits. For that price, I expect to get my money's worth. I just think these shoes are a little too much.

Definitely YAY!!! I'm a huge fan of the chunky wedge and the lacing all over the shoe is to die for!

It's a NAY for me. Look like something that belong in the shoe museum, not a practical shoe to wear!

Yay! First off, I LOVE the colour they would look fantastic with Rich and Skinny jeggings. The hidden platform is a must and I think they would be fantastic for vacationing. The price, a little hefty so that would be my only deterrent.
