These awful looking shoes are the result of a collaboration between Vivienne Westwood Anglomania and Melissa shoes. To Vivienne Westwood’s defense there are pretty much no Melissa shoes that end-up looking particularly attractive. People claim that they’re amazingly comfortable (Melissa shoes are made out of recycled and recyclable plastic), but I find it hard to believe that plastic can be comfortable (though I have never tried a Melissa shoe on so I can’t attest for sure). Comfortable or not however these shoes are hideous!
What do you think about this collaboration? Snob or Slob?
SLOB for the Dragon Lady shoes on the left or the ones with the bells in the center, but I have to say, the green, triple-strap mary janes on the far right are not so bad…
I tried a pair of Melissa flats on a year ago at Saks.They were the mary jane look in a flat style. I thought they would be good for pool or beach. OK for casual resort or summer.Didn’t buy.
The mary janes don’t look so bad. But I’m dubious about the material. I always make sure to avoid plastic shoes.
I bought a pair of the Dragon Lady shoes in Fuschia with a Red heart. The color makes them way more playful than the color pictured here, I’ve had tons of compliments on them when worn with a simple tee & skinny jeans.
Melissa shoes are awesome!!
