please help me decide
 
I can't afford both, not right now. I kind of think the wing ones are cool, but not sure how much I'd actually wear them? They might not go with as much, like plain black would. But then, plain black is kind of plain. I dont know.

:(

The plain black. I'd laugh at anyone wearing the winged ones.

You're also not locked into only deciding between the two.

pbradley 12.06.2009 11:21 PM

Winged ones are definitely too Led Zeppelin-y.

I'd like them better if they were positioned more like Hermes' winged sandals and I know shit all about what looks good.

girl! 12.06.2009 11:27 PM

No wings!!!

Really. Don't do the wings.

The zips are awesome. Paint the wings yourself with a sharp tinged brush.
= Zips.

I can't buy 20 ups the calf area is far far too big, they look like wellingtons. They need to be black, and I don't just want the plain old lace up. I'd buy patent, but my last pair were that and I want something different.

so... hehe those are the two to decide between.

I think I'd really like the wings more if they were embroidered in black not colour.. hm.

plain black for the win!

jon boy 12.07.2009 01:28 AM

this is an easy choice, black.

automatic bzooty 12.07.2009 01:47 AM

despite being plain, you can never (ever) go wrong with plain black.

nicfit 12.07.2009 06:04 AM

I think those wings are pretty ugly, that's an easy choice...

Glice 12.07.2009 06:16 AM

I think the fact that you would even consider those vile wings is a firm validation of the need for all of your future sartorial decisions to be carried out by internet poll.

Also, the plain black ones will make you look like a fat goth, whether you're a fat goth or not. Profoundly unflattering boots on anyone.

I admire Glice's grounded thoughts.

phoenix 12.07.2009 06:39 AM

They aren't grounded, they're fucking rude. The opinion on shoes is one thing, trolling on my decision making capacity.. har har, keeping on and being outright mean :confused:

http://www.drawinglab.net/phoenix/no/07122009314.jpg

just... what the fuck why is the first thing negative toward a girl that come's out of a males mouth on the internet usually something to do with being fat. get fucked, you clearly fat fuck. just because you can't see me, doesn't mean you should take a stab and be so rude. I'm scrawny, but tall boots look damn awesome on me. My decision will not be based on feedback, it was just a thread, about some shoes, for discussion.

Glice 12.07.2009 06:47 AM

Ha. Ok, I'll disentangle the blithe cuntestry:

The problem is that it's very difficult to dress around these boots - they tend to require a long over coat, and the closest you can go into bright colours with a black knee-height boot is a dark maroon or brown. Trousers-wise, you're limited to quite tight and (again) dark colours; some sort of striking belt would be required. From there, you've not got much wriggle room with a top, although you can go into the primary colours a bit easier. Short tops are out, because my personal opinion is that if you're covering up elsewhere, a little bit of belly looks massively disingenuous.

I'm very shoe-centric when it comes to dressing, and I think a very overbearing boot can destroy a whole outfit, no matter how brilliant the remainder is. I think it's probably fine for the British winter, but as you're in Australia I don't think a lot of dark colours really suits the climate.

But of course, by all means entirely ignore everything I've said, it really doesn't matter.

phoenix 12.07.2009 06:55 AM

my wardrobe consists of babydoll t shirts in 'misc' or 'band' on the top..
and for the bottom... tight cotton/stretch drill/denim pants with black canvas shoes, or short black/grey/dark coloured skirts with black mary janes or boots. oh, or short-ish cotton dresses in black/grey variety of that with boots or mary janes.... so I guess I'm fine, with dressing myself.

australian weather is kind of crappy, but I don't spend enough time hiking or discovering new lands to really care too much about the colour of my clothes in relation to their heat absorption qualities.

nevermind, I created the thread I should have realised it would only lead to bs. I should have put it on the goth forum. :rolleyes: so the other fat goths can discuss which shoes would make them look the least fat. :rolleyes: or make me look the most fat, so they don't look as fat, beside me.

Goths aren't really people though. They're like the French in that regard.

demonrail666 12.07.2009 07:09 AM

i'm oddly edging towards the winged ones. They're horrible but in a strangely glorious way. I'd be far more impressed if I saw someone wear those than I would the plain black ones. They're like a big up yours to all that's considered 'right' and, for that reason alone, I think you should get them.
