opinion on shoes

[Arkarian]

Hey, I'm looking for opinions on these shoes, they are monks with a wingtip design on the front in purple suede. Other images in link. http://www.kurtgeiger.com/online-shop/106097-kg-cadfael I was thinking to wear them with some black slim or straight leg jeans, something along these lines http://www.tedbaker.com/shop.do?cID=585&pID=6391 Though I'm stumped as what to wear as a top, I was thinking a long sleeved casual shirt not tucked in. Thanks ^^

Double monks are popular on this forum, so you will get lots of good suggestions.

Are those the shoes they pulled off that witch when the house fell on her?

 

[Arkarian]

quite possibly but then witches are great at pulling off greens, blacks and purples.

Oh, come on: the house did not fall on her, and she's now Secretary of State.

I thought that you read the NYT?

I would brace yourself for the likely tangential move of this thread to the necessity of getting metal toe protectors.

Be patient...your questions will be addressed eventually.

Props to you for being a good sport.

In all seriousness, everyone here is going to hate these shoes. I certainly do. You might get better responses in the Streetwear section. I don't really know as I never go in there; those kids are crazy.

Are you in your boxers, Bud Light in hand, watching MTV reruns again?

Flashy shoes are usually way too unsubtle to ever be wearable.

Not a fan.

There's just too much going on: suede (contrasted with metal), brouging, purple, & double strap. Any one of those--by itself--might be nice, but combining all creates a gaudy result.
