Would you wear these shoes?

Written By Laila Lu on Nov 4th, 2008

Remember the Balenciaga Spring 09′ creations…

 

In stores it is going to look like this:

 

But without the socks/stockings: 

 

So yes or no?

    If I was a girl, you bet I would wear these. They’re the best Balenciaga shoes since the Autumn 06 ankle boots.

    no.
    i am not a fan of the sole of the shoe. if it were softer and less chunky i would like them..

    Not even if I were a trannie from Transylvania.

    But I do like it though — without the socks, of course.

    actually on a second look the bottom part reminds me of some animal’s feet? Elephants?

    But since it’s Balenciaga it’s all about cutting edge. Guess these shoes are gonna cost a bomb anyways.

    i’d rather go barefoot, those shoes are hideous.

    Hideous! However they do hand in hand with Nicholas G’s odd insect shell couture warrior whatever designs.Personally I never really understood the fuss over his creations at Balenciaga but then who am I to contradicte Anna Wintour and Charlotte Gainsbourgh.
    And yes I agree they do look like elephant feet.

    Hm the first ones are DEF a no, second ones… maybe yes.

    I actually rather the sockless one!

    I LOVE the last one!!!

    urgh no. the sockless one, maybe… but as a whole, it’s just not their best.

    fall’06 platform boots and spring 07 cork and metal heels ftw!

    I’ve a weak spot for platforms but this ones: ugh! NO!

    i’m just waiting to see victoria beckham wear them in public to change my mind but until then…

    I think the store version lost the meaning of the original shoes on the runway.
    It is a definitely a no no. It ruined the whole design!
