OK, this week’s Shoe Hot or Not basically assumes you have money to burn. A lot of money — like, Gucci quantities of money. And not “these are expensive but I can get a lot of mileage out of these classic pumps” sort of way, either: These shoes have pom-poms. (Or as the Gucci website refers to them, “tassels.”) That are made out of mink. These are, to put it kindly, memorable shoes. People will say, “Oh, you’re wearing the furry shoes again.”

For me, the dealbreaker would be that you have to tie the bow yourself, and as many a wrapped holiday gift can attest, I am not an expert at the attractive bow. (To camouflage this, I just keep adding ribbon until it’s a bounty of bow, and thus overwhelms any ability to see the original one.)

So: You’ve got $600 to burn. Are these shoes the ones to do it on?

Leave your comments below by noon Friday, Nov. 9. I’ll choose one person at random to receive some spoils from my Big Box of Goodies — in this case, the new(ish) Good For You lip treatment balm by Go Smile (the company behind those brilliant single-dose teeth whitening ampoules.)
