Those Long Pointy Shoes....

Whenever I see someone wearing these new longer pointy shoes like these:



I immediately think of these:



Why do blokes think they look good?

They can look good with slim-fit (not emo skinny jeans) trousers.

[nick s]

they look alot classier than normal round ended shoes i guess. I prefer pointier shoes for work.

[tobster]

With a good sharp suit , I think pointy shoes look good but then I only have size 8 1/2 feet

[st_files]

Surely they're a passing fad though? In a few months they'll look really dated....

[louiebaby]

Size 13 feet here, so people already take the piss. I wouldn't want to look like I'm a water skier...

[Morningside]

I believe Noel Edmonds is a great fan of said footwear.

Need I say more?

[WorAl]

I think of this and also think they look stupid.

[Mobile Chicane]

I think they look ridiculous. Even more so when the wearer is trying to negotiate narrow stairs...

Not being homosexual or female, I don't really notice what shoes people are wearing.

Just doesn't matter.

I suppose I may notice what someone is wearing if I am summing up someone to be interviewed by me, or if someone comes to an occasion in totally the wrong kind of thing (like a wedding and they are wearing used mechanics overalls), but other than that, it struggles to get past my life irrelavence filter.

My missus would probably recommend hello magazine, they are obsessed with what people are wearing, and probably have a forum for it as well

I would have thought that you'd pay more attention, given your line of work...

Ah winkle pickers - a fad from the '60s

How about these!

[ProfessorPeach]

I saw a chap in these today.

The toes often seem to be pointing upwards.

They remind me of these:



Which is a ruddy fantastic look, if you ask me.

But then I'm quite partial to turbans and scimitres too.

[bazking69]

Being a size 12 on the shoes and a biggish lad pointy shoes tend to make me look like a Turkish mafia boss whether I am in jeans or a suit!

[Jag-D]

I dont mind them, but I prefer the wedge toe shape shoes

Or cowboy boots, but I can't walk in the things

Because they're gay.

(quickly taking a pair of the aforementioned shoes off and replacing with trainers)

Absolutely, totally agree, couldn't be more right. They look totally rubbish.

and spivs!

Yes, those pointy shoes are just for gay spivs.

[Justayellowbadge]

They don't look too hateful when new.

But they all seem to crease up and look ridiculous after a couple of days, so all mobile phone salesman and estate agents end up with a hint of Ali-Baba about them, which isn't exactly helping an already fragile case, really.
