I can get these off Gilt for about $180.

When I first saw them I loved them, now I'm not so sure.

On the one hand, they have the whole "perfect shade of nude for spring and therefore leg lengthening" thing going on.

On the other hand, they look like Grandma got her orthopedic oxfords caught in the lawnmower and lost the toes.

If it had an actual heel I'd say "jump," but with the wedge it's not really doing it for me.

I like them. I think the oxford look can be difficult to pull off, but the nude color and height probably make them more flattering. They are very trendy, so it just depends if you want to spend that kind of money on something that may not have staying power. It's hard to resist a deep discount though!

MaryK, LMAO! Just not a fan of the look, sorry....I think it's a very trendy look that will probably date quickly. There are a LOT of peeptoe wedges that have more staying power out there.....nice color, though

I'm not objective at all because I just don't care for shoes in that color :). I do love the peep toe/oxford lacing/wedge heel hybrid thang going on, but perhaps not paired with that color.

MaryK and RandomThoughts, you both made me laugh. Unfortunately, I'm inclined to agree with both of you. Sorry, Anna, I covet most of your shoes, but these would stay behind if I ever burglarized your closet.
