LOL–the image of “Satan’s Secretary” has made my day. Those red boots are heinous. I rather love the black ones, though! I mean, not $1700 worth of love, but if someone gave them to me and they fit, I’d wear them for sure. With a full, slighlty boho skirt.

BOTH are really, really ugly shoes!!! Would never be caught dead even looking at them!

Interesting. We have a zero percent tolerance for the red shoes and a 50:50 percent split for the black boots. I’m chuffed with this reaction. I’d have had an apoplexy if anyone seriously liked the red peds. The black boots, I’m with you. While they may not be my style, I can see the appeal.

I love the black boots. XD I actually have a simplier (and much cheaper) version and it’s my winter staple, worn with skinny jeans.

The red ones - no, thanks. They won’t flatter even the shapeliest legs in the universe. And they are ugly.

Those black boots are great! They are so tough looking, I can’t stand it. Of course, they had to be Demeulemeester.

The red ones are a definite NO. The black ones, eh. You could make them work if you try hard enough. They’d look better if they had a little more shine to them. The black boots are not for everyone. I do know some people who can carry that look off and look great with them. I don’t think I’m one of those people.

Yes those shoes are scary. I wonder which celebrity will wear them.

Yes. I fear them both in much the same way that I fear the apocalypse. And the dentist. Seriously, though, I think both pairs are utter monstrosities. Completely unwearable for humans.

I would not wear either. I think the black ones are extremely ugly and way too goth looking. I would look like a freak in those if I wore them to my midwest suburban stores, schools, restaurants, etc. The red ones defy explanation.

OK so while reading the reviews for a shoe I tried on yesterday, I thought it would be amusing to read the description of the Promiscuous brand:

Sexy, seductive, and sassy shoes and lingerie is what Promiscuous strives for. Every woman has a sensual side to her and Promiscuous encourages every woman to show it. Every woman has a practical side too - the desire for footwear that’s comfortable and that fits. Each style is tested for everyday wear and includes a shock absorbing gel insert at the heel. From dancing all night with your girlfriends at a swanky club, to arousing your significant other, Promiscuous fulfills a need in your life.

…DANCING ALL NIGHT? Only if you have a death wish! I assure you any woman who purchases these shoes is not striving for comfort, so I wish they would just stick to their market and try not to encroach on others’ territory. It’s like John McCain taking up extreme sports to appeal to the youth vote. No one’s going to buy it!
