Scarlet -- another one for hooves! I totally don't see it. I understand the "witchy" comments, but I've never seen hooves that look like that. They seem slightly phallic to me, actually. (Although Fluevog did make a line of boots with a cloven heel a decade or so ago -- look up "Grand Nationals". Talk about fetish wear!).
Diana -- the burgundy ones are indeed drool-worthy. I love how the back part and the straps are black, while the rest of it is burgundy. But what I really, really could use are a pair of black ass-kicker short boots, and these ones look really good in real life. So often with Fluevogs (or any other shoes), I prefer the coloured option (which is weird, because for clothing I gravitate toward the black options), and the black option just seems boring. But these ones don't. To my eye, the black ones say "hard rock" more than "witch", especially in real life. They are not delicate, like witchy shoes can be. They are all angles and thick leather, and are on the masculine side (although that impression might be in part due to the phallic toe).
Sylvie -- actually, they ARE flattering. I wasn't expecting them to be. Also fun. The real problem is: after the first few wears, where I'll be hyper-aware of my feet, will my comfort level adjust? I need these for everyday wear, not special-occasion wear. I've got special-occasion covered. On Commercial Drive, I'd fit right in. Among the soccer moms in the suburbs, not so much. But maybe I don't care. I'm trying to decide if I care.
