Love 'em or Hate 'em?

Weight training comes to mind...

They may not be that heavy if hollow, I will know soon

It seems hard to walk in IMO. They kind of remind me of those Japanese clogs that have mini stilts on them to walk through puddles or areas with water.

Totally, I think it's homage to those kind of shoes and also 16C Venetian courtesans

Can you take modeling shots when you try them on? I wish I lived near a Gucci.

I like them but they would be hard to pull off. It really depends where you live and what your lifestyle is.

I guess for me they're party and attending event shoes (which I do even for my job)

I will do. I want to try the new (slightly more wearable) new black leather Horsebit Loafers too so I'll take some pics XXX

Then if you think you can pull them off and use them often enough, I say go for it!

Thanks fabuleux (love your tpf name BTW). Judging by the many 'Haters' of the poll, I seem to have rather unique taste

Well... some people may not like them because they may not picture themselves wearing them. I think it all depends on the person who will wear the shoes.

I will def be trying these on and walking around (or shuffling) in them before parting with my money, thanks for the warning though. I would have thought it's even more dangerous with those 6" heel, pointy pumps with no platforms and no straps - I could def crash-land straight into the ER with those type.

You make a good point. I find platforms (even high ones like these) much easier to walk in than very high heels without platforms. If you have occasion to wear them and you really love them I say go for it.

I had to pick up a repair yesterday and saw the patent/leather version (no brocade/velvet slippers yet). I didn't like them. This is my first experience of something Gucci looking better in pictures than IRL

I saw a hat I liked though

Maybe if I was a Blythe doll but IRL?? I'd rather wear grandma's orthopedic black shoes. Sorry.

Love Blythe dolls, I'd love to be one, especially if customised by @GhstDreamer

Thanks PT you are way too nice!

I think those shoes look beautiful in the pics but I haven't seen them in real life. Though I have to agree they look like Blythe shoes.
