Shoe Hot or Not: Workplace edition

A lot of times, if you search for dress pumps at a more value-priced department store like Kohl’s or JC Penney, you end up with very matronly-looking shoes that look orthopedic and scream: "I give up!"
So it’s kind of nice, really to see these square-toe leather pumps from Worthington — they’ve got a 3-inch heel, which might be on the high side, but that heel is also stacked, for more secure footing. The little riding-bit detail is probably deliberately Gucci-esque, but it looks way better in brown, here, than in black. And they’re on sale for less than $40.So they’re a little on the classic side — no crystal heels, no toe cleavage — but I still think they’re pretty damn cute for work. Agree or disagree? Leave your comments below. One of the posters will win a free .3-ounce bottle of Jo Malone’s new Blue Agava & Cacao cologne. I’ll pick a winner from the entries online by Tuesday, Oct. 2.

Looks like they’d go great with one of Hillary Clinton’s pant suits.

Call me boring (or “classic”) but I really like those.

Not feeling it. You want a Gucci looking Pump go to Gucci. As for heels go high or go home.
FYI Shanna I have seen Hillary’s shoes and she follows my motto. gotta love a Gucci Girl.

I like the shoes, but I really don’t like the gold detail. Gold doesn’t really work with me.

They’re ok — I”m not in love with them, but then they are, after all, work shoes. I would never have guessed they were only $40, though, so that’s a hit right there.
