Shoe Hot or Not: Vera Wang edition

September 20th, 2007, 7:38 am · 10 Comments · posted by Sam Mittelsteadt

Continuing with the trend of this post, let’s examine some of the new Simply Vera line, which debuted at Kohl’s stores this month.Probably the only shoe I would even give an "eh" to would be the "Truffle" satin d’Orsay pump ($69.99) at left, which only comes in black, by the way. And even then, I’d want to see a little more clearly what the embellishment is before I’d give it the "eh."Those "Sorbet" slides ($59.99) are *egregious,* though. The purple velvet one, especially, reminds me of something Blanche Deveraux would wear swanning about the lanai on "The Golden Girls," planning her attack on her next gentleman caller.And now for the reminder section of the post:(1) Leave your comments below — is this shoe even remotely hot? Everyone who posts by Tuesday, Sept. 25, is eligible to win three items from the new Yes to Carrots line, which is available at Walgreens. (I particularly like the body wash and body butter, which I wrote about here.) And come back every Thursday to leave your opinion on a new shoe victim!(2) You’ve got one more day to leave your post about last week’s Shoe Hot or Not conundrum: Which shoe does Michael buy? We — and by "we" I mean "you" — decide tomorrow, so if you think the tide is turning in a wrong direction, encourage others to vote with you. (Hopefully I will be able to find my digital camera and can post a photo of him wearing the winning pair.)

  1. Crazy H Says:

    Hate them.

  2. Suzanne Says:

    I need to see in person, but I like the black slip on.

  3. Jodi Says:

    I kind of like them, actually. But I’m an old hag at heart. Don’t forget the cheesecake, I’ll be waiting on the lanai …

  4. Michael Says:

    I like them but then again I love the golden girls and Blanche has been a fashion roll model of mine.

  5. Francesca Says:

    I will see your Blanche Deveraux and raise you one Joan Collins in a humongous shoulder-padded purple suit circa Dynasty. I like the black pumps but only with a basic black coctail dress. Keep it simple.
    The other two pairs are not for me…crushed velvet on a shoe speaks for itself and the burgundy one is a little too DTM Bridesmaid’s shoe.

  6. Sharyn Says:

    Trashy, trashy. Like what a person with no taste would wear if she was dressing up. Not that I feel strongly.

  7. Amanda Says:

    Icky to the slides. I think I wore something similar to my Freshman dance back in ‘95.
    The pumps aren’t horrible, but they aren’t nearly cute enough to pay $70 for.

  8. Tammy Says:

    YUCK!! Maybe for a trashy halloween costume!!! I do however like the new Vera Wang wardrobe for Kohl’s…well some of the wardrobe

  9. Heather Says:

    Don’t really like them
