Help me help my sister

[balletofangels]

She has these heinous shoes on her Amazon wish list. She claims they'd be cute with jeans/pants. Help me suggest something more acceptable. Or, tell me I'm insane and they are fine.

You mean pants that go all the way to the floor and would cover the entire shoe? Or no?

Tell me these are on clearance for 16.99, right?

$49.99!!

She is 10 years older than I am. I said maybe they were okay 30 years ago, but if you could wear them the first time you are too old to wear them the second.

[leeann]

I hate hate hate those.

[lime]

I'm assuming you wanted to stick to Amazon:

Nine West


Nine West wedges

She may be beyond help at this point. Godspeed, good sister.

Those shoes are sad. It's like the shoe wanted to be ankle boot but stopped at the ankle bone instead. Poor shoe wanted to be pointed at the toe and got its end lopped off.
They are like a circumcised half boner. Useless

[kermit]

Those are NOT fine. Ankle boots would be so much better. Or wedges.

[onomatopoeia]

I hate shoes like that. One or the other, people, sandals or boots. Plus you see women with their pant leg stuck under the heel...no.

One of my facebook friends (girl from high school) recently posted a pair of boots she was going to splurge on. They were so awful. All her friends were encouraging her to do it (except her husband who posted that they looked like "80's shitkickers" lol). I hope she listened to her husband!

these were never ok. I was 23 30 years ago and I'd have laughed them to scorn. 

Oh god I don't think they're bad at all. This doesn't bode well for my fashion sense if everyone else thinks they are heinous!

She is clearly mad.

This goes without saying...for many reasons beyond the shoes.

Send her this reply.  It's perfect. 

[bab]

I can't wait for @booby to see this!!  She's going to pass out!

[mellymel]

Those are awful. They were popular among my coworkers in Minnesota a couple years ago. I almost succumbed to them. I am so glad I stuck to my senses.

[mariafromnj]

oh no no no... please for the love of god no

[LLL]

I'd rather be footless

::sits with moneypit:: I know I can't dress myself but I didn't think I was THAT bad.

[joshlyman]

Oh good god those are horrible.

[snickers]

Those are fugly.

[WOT?*]

Those are something my mother might have worn 20 years ago. Even *I* have better sense and I'm probably a good bit older than your sister.

[balletofangels]

My sister is certainly a special snowflake.

I am glad I'm not crazy, she is. But I knew that.

[spellingbea]

Lol. My mom got me an almost identical pair about 10 years ago. Except they were lined with shearling--you know, to keep half of your foot sweaty while the other half freezes.

[balletofangels]

Oh gawd, her reply to the previous suggestions, "I don't want boots (hear whining tone as you read). Have a hard time finding shoes that fit that's why I like mules/slip ons. Try again please and thank you. XXOO"

[papie]

I am pretty sure I rocked some similar ones in 1995, lol
