^ bad design or confused expectations? Seems a bit off the cuff to label the design bad when it turns out the OP doesn’t like the effect of round-toed shoes.
Hot haute couture...or frumpy pilgrim!?!?

Different people suit different things, it's not just about the physical either, there's also personality, wardrobe and lifestyle to consider. Sometimes a person wants something new, cool and exciting to update her/his wardrobe but it's also hard to gage if it's very different to what's used to.
My partner would prefer if I wore my Dolce and Gabbana corset dresses and typical 'barely-there' heels every hour, every day, but my personality is more than just about looking sexy or 'hot' for him. My DH understands I value his advice but at the end of the day (even the start of the day) I decide what I like to wear and he obviously loves that part of me too.
OP hasn't come back to us so maybe she just wanted to show us and has made up their mind.
Of course I agree that style is a myriad of factors playing off of one another as well as a combination of personal dictations but one thing that most people forget is that sometimes the reaction to "does it look good" simply comes down to what is the gut reflex when presented with a style object.
If you take the average person and show them a pair of heels purchased from Target with no label and a "risky" or "avant garde" design, they might immediately say, "ew--no thanks." Then show them the same pair of heels with a Louis Vuitton logo slapped on and suddenly they might reply with "wow, cool--fashion forward. I'll take them."
Basically, it's the long way of saying, I love the general design direction of Gucci but I don't believe in following fashion/labels blindly. Sometimes they don't know best and my gut reaction when I saw those shoes was simply-- "Not sexy."
Call me a pilgrim I have the lower heel version and I absolutely love them and their comfort factor. I have tons of gorgeous CL’s that I can’t wear because they hurt my feet. At this stage in life I choose comfort first and designer second. I love the higher heeled version for other people they look amazingly hot with skinny jeans. But, I also hear that they are hard to walk in.
What’s frumpy to many men is seen as stylish to many women. I think some men prefer to see us in stilettos.
I don’t always listen to what my other half says regarding fashion, although he does have very good taste ‘most’ of the time. If you like something and you can fund it yourself then nobody can judge.
My OH thinks a lot of Gucci’s currently collection is a bit OTT. I bought my first Gucci bag in 15 years this weekend. I love what Gucci is doing, I hope it lasts.

Personally, those are not my style. I say if you don't love them 102% then return them asap! I think designers have a way of making even the ugliest of things look desirable! Also, think about what kind of outfits you can wear with the shoes...if you can wear any lol. hope this helps!
Honestly if worn the right way with like boyfriend jeans and a classic white button down and some jewels it could probably look very chic, ya know?
I think they are beautiful, but as somone said above, if they won't go with a lot of outfits you'd normally wear I would return them.
