An actual email from my friend Sasha-- the shoe obsessed fashion director of US Weekly--
OMG! SICK!!! I don't know if I would ever wear this sick stiletto but I feel the need to possess them. It's like a curse has come over me! I feel like Margaret Hamilton who played the Wicked Witch in The Wizard of Oz....remember when she goes for those ruby slippers? Can you see the lightening bolts coming out of my fingers? I know the economy sucks ass but I don't know if I can go another day without making this purchase. Tina-is there something really wrong with me? Also- I'm not a preppy, upper east refined woman and don't want to be or pretend to be but is this like my way of mixing my Manhattan Ghetto fabulousness with that LL Bean look?
What do you think? I personally hate this shoe (and it's a ghastly $1,195! Insanity!). But I'd like you guys to answer Sasha-- tell Sasha Fierce, what should she do about these Loubies? Are they Sick or Sin?
they are just horrible!
I don't like hybrid shoes! Stilleto and boat shoes=wrong idea!
NO no no no no...I myself go heart eyed when I see loubies sexy red sole but no these are not cute or sexy!
Sorry, please save your friend from these shoes...surely they have some cuter pieces!
L.xo
Sin, sin, sin. They're absolutely ghastly.
Oh my god, they are absolutely horrific. Worse than the Blahnik construction boot from years ago. DO NOT BUY THIS SHOE.
I knew you girls would agree
LOL
Even in my fever/flu induced delirium I still think they're hideous!
Sasha- what say you??? We just saved you a grand, I hope! xoxo
Well, of course I got over this shoe the second AFTER I sent the email. I was blinded by the red sole. Also, truth be told the new YSL resort shoes arrived at Bergdorf Goodman in an email blast from Eddie on the 2nd floor and I have a lot more to shout about! LOL and Holla!
awful
but people will waste their money because of the brand

i don't think they are that bad if you're going for the preppy/nautical look.
Actually, that's exactly why I think they are bad. They're an attempt to combine two different aesthetics in a way that does justice to neither.
Sasha!! The only way I will allow you to get these shoes is if you have a GHETTO FABULOUS yacht to got with it! SO I plea with you, DONT EVEN GO THERE!!! these shoes are not cute AT ALL!!!! Sorry-just keeping it real SISTER! =)
EWW..seriously!
No, no, no. These are hideous. Sasha, be strong!
Haha I love that the options are sick or sin! I could see some hot park ave mom looking really hot in these, but they aren't personally my style and they definitely don't look like 4-digit shoes...
These shoes give ugly new meaning. Don't do something that you are for sure going to regret. Lord knows there are a lot more awesome shoes out there, and TONS of them are currently at great prices....if you're going to buy a great shoe, buy one that you can wear for awhile!
Sasha! As much of a shoe fanatic that you are, I would rather see you spend a 1000 or more on some YSL's or Chanels...or at least another CL. You are just a few notches off a pair of snakeskin boots! SNAKESKIN BOOTS. Doesn't that sound hotter than these? These are so out even before they arrive. Just trying to help another shoe-addict out! :D
