I haven't said anything because I was hoping if I didn't acknowledge them, then they wouldn't exist. But then I was asked a few times what I thought of this recent style trend and I realized sticking my head in the ground ostrich-style wasn't going to save me from them.
So here's the EWP official stance on men's oxfords as women's footwear: I don't like them. I don't like them at all.
If you've ever read this blog, you know that I'm all about feminine shoes. Sure I can get down with a gladiator heel - but that's sexy. Sure I can get down with flats - but of the ballet, girly variety. Wearing a men's-type shoe as a woman is just against all the EWP laws. It's just the shape and style is so unflattering. The chunky little block heel doesn't do anything for your leg. And the lace-up style doesn't do anything for your feet. It's not like you can pair these with a dress, and, well, I mostly only wear dresses. I couldn't even imagine wearing these with jeans (which I do sometimes wear).
These get a big fat EWP stamp of disapproval.
What do you think, readers? Agree? Strongly disagree? I'm always up for some footwear debate!
