On a scale of one to ten...

[carmen_lj]

...how wrong would it be to buy these shoes?

If one means it would be right and ten meaning it would be wrong, then I'm going to go with one.

ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[brewsternorth.livejournal.com]

Four - you'd have a time wearing them in a non-costume situation, but they are absolutely brilliant.

[prettyarbitrary.livejournal.com]

Really, the question is how could you not buy those shoes?

[calapine.livejournal.com]

For some reason a part of me is saying things like "omg, are you kidding me?" and "demon kitties! Noooo!" And the other bit wants to wear them and contemplate their shiny awesome.

[shaggydogstail.livejournal.com]

Not wrong at all! They are glorious shoes.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

I knew it!

[silly-cleo.livejournal.com]

*SO* wrong it's right!

if you don't, I might. I might buy them anyway. ;)

Aw, Liz, you are so pretty... :D

[calapine.livejournal.com]

I'm not crazy! I was almost certain it wasn't really wrong to like them and you are now my litmus test of sanity on shoes, yes. Well done.

[silly-cleo.livejournal.com]

No, not at all crazy! But um, me personally or your LJ friends as a whole? O.o If the first, how did I come by this unexpected honour? ;D

Edit: On a quick skim of this entry, I am wondering if I got the honour by agreeing with you vehemently. ;)

*eyedart*

It was a completely unbiased appointment based on much research and...stuff. Yeah.

[silly-cleo.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't mind either way but *when* ;) you do get them, please post photos of them like, on your feet. In a world where I have money, I will totally own them also. I may construct whole elaborate steam-punk-esque outfits based around them. ;D

[alawston.livejournal.com]

Not being particularly qualified to judge shoes, I asked my friend. And she said they were horrible. Sorry :(

[calapine.livejournal.com]

My sister said the same thing and I was sad at her but she remained resolute, woes.

When 10 is BUY, then BUY!!11!!

[calapine.livejournal.com]

That's the sort of enabling I come to the Internets for!

[dune-drd.livejournal.com]

Life's too short to think about Buy Or Not To Buy

Says the girl who still craves the 120 Quid Time Lord Fob Watch Replica...

[calapine.livejournal.com]

...I try not to think about how much money I've spent on DW thingies.

[dune-drd.livejournal.com]

But it's still better to have spent it than to be still yearning for it...

[taraljc.livejournal.com]

erm... is it sad that if it weren't for the jewel-eyed kitties, I'd say yes? Cos they are awesome--except for the weird cats.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

That seems Perfectly Sensible to me, but then I like the demon kitties.

As soon as I saw "Irregular Choice" my first thought was "Very wrong indeed". Then the picture loaded. RUN AWAY RUN AWAY.

Those are not quirky. They are merely annoying. Think Tammy Faye Bakker (http://moonbeammcqueen.files.wordpress.com/2007/07/jimandtammyfaye1.jpg).

[calapine.livejournal.com]

Annoying commercial quirkiness is the only kind I know!

[elyssadc.livejournal.com]

Eleven. Definitely Eleven. Liz, step AWAY from the computer.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

Hee! But scary cats! Staring out of shoooes!

[stunt-muppet.livejournal.com]

Buying shoes is never wrong. Especially when they have faux alligator skin.

[rj-anderson.livejournal.com]

I, personally, kind of love them. And I am the person who a) cannot wear heels of any height lest I keel over and break my ankle; and b) has no more than four pairs of shoes in her closet at any given time, all of which are ruthlessly Sensible -- and YET, if I saw shoes like that in the store, I would be grievously tempted.

So yes! They are totally crazy, but they are also a nice neutral color that could go with lots of things. If they were hot pink or some other ridiculously impractical color I would say nay, but since they are grey and black, I say go for it!

Are you me?

I didn't know you were a companion on Doctor Who! ^.^

[taiamu.livejournal.com]

Awww...those are adorable. They'd kill my feet, but they are adorable! I say go for it, if you've got the cash. :)

[arefadedaway.livejournal.com]

NOT WRONG AT ALL. Do it! Do it!

[hathy-col.livejournal.com]

In my professional opinio as someone that sells shoes on a regular basis: They are maybe the best shoes in the history of shoes and quite frankly I'm debating going into Schuh during my lunch break tomorrow to try a pair on myself. SO BUY THEM YES.

[pontisbright.livejournal.com]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES. The only thing I'm hesitating about is that they also come in purple and I can't decide which is best. Bonkers shoes with cats on FTW though, obvs.

[biichan.livejournal.com]

Depends on if you're cosplaying as Dolores Umbridge. At least they've got nice wide toes, though.

(Eh, get 'em if you want 'em. They're your feet, not ours.)

[and-i.livejournal.com]

Demon kitties go with everything. On a scale where one is "buy the shoes!" I'm pretty much on minus five.

[thedarkevilone.livejournal.com]

So, so not wrong at all.

[cakesy.livejournal.com]

THEY ARE THE MOST INSANE SHOES I HAVE EVER SEEN. WHAT ON EARTH WOULD YOU WEAR THEM WITH?

However, I am strangely charmed by the purple version of them.

[calapine.livejournal.com]

WHAT ON EARTH HAVE YOU DONE TO YOUR FACE???

[whatho.livejournal.com]

Well, they made me laugh. I think that's a good quality in other people's clothing.

[fyrdrakken]

OMG buy them buy them now!

[pinkdormouse.livejournal.com]

Not wrong at all ever.

[pimpmytardis.livejournal.com]

I'd LOVE them without the cats. I think someone handy with the scissors and thread could replace them with, say, a large silver brooch?

On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being "BUY" I give 'em a 6.5. Dunno if that makes them worth the price.

[elliptic-eye.livejournal.com]

My brain tells me those are hideous, and my dual feminist and podiatric initiation tells me high heels are a tool of the patriarchy for producing bunions, yet I am drawn to them. I think it's the stitching on the toe.

[sabotabby]

Which one means COMPLETELY RIGHT?

[jaydeyn-sitari.livejournal.com]

It is a moral imperative that you buy these shoes!!

:)

The kitties are the BEST PART.

[gritsinmisery.livejournal.com]

That's one of those pair that you have to have even if you never, ever wear them, just so you can say you own them. Merely taking a picture of them on your feet raises your geek cred to infinity.

[amadyce.livejournal.com]

Oh noes! Not Irregular Choice!!!! All of their shoes feel like wearing cement blocks on your feet. I was once seduced by the cuteness of a pair or Irregular Choice shoes (flats even). And then I almost broke my toe wearing them. Stay away. Stay far away!
