I ordered them in both black and white as an alternative to shabbos flats (I can't wear flats because my feet are too thin). I thought they were cute and got a couple compliments but also a bit of a backhanded one too ("they're so different!"). I dunno. Lemme know what you think.

I like them.

The rude comments in this thread are utmost appalling! Totally uncalled for!!
There is a real person, real people behind the blue screen.
To make such an ugly fuss about the "we" language used! Big deal!!
And the rude comments about a pair of shoes!!
What happened to the ואהבת לרעיך כמוך mitzvah ordered upon us in the עשרת הדברות?
My heart is broken to pieces!
It's erev Shavuos!!

I agree that if someone doesn’t like the shoes they should say it in a nicer way. OP did ask for opinions but just like IRL we wouldn’t say “ugly as hell” we should also say here something kinder like “it’s not our style.”
Honestly the WE conversation should have been a spin off. It’s an interesting conversation but probably shouldn’t have taken place on this thread. I hope OP did not take that part personally.
PS that’s not part of the aseres hadibros but your point stands. Derech eretz kadma Latorah!
