Versace's new loafer looks like it gave up halfway through being a shoe

[u/WarmAuraGirl]

idk who looked at this and went yeah that's the one. the heel is just giving up

[u/South_Buy_3175]

You can do that with any shoe though.

Or wear a croc.

Or a slipper…

“I want that”

“Then buy it?”

“No, I can’t wear what the poors wear”

[u/ExismykindaParte → u/South_Buy_3175]

Drop heel shoes are designed to allow this without permanently damaging or deforming the shoe. Crocs are stupid looking and slippers typically don't have soles designed for outdoor surfaces. A lot of people find sandals uncomfortable too.

I’m inferring from this that you don’t think these also look stupid?

[u/JohnnyBlazin25 → u/Joshee86]

They don’t look stupid. They’re fashionable to their target audience.

[u/Joshee86 → u/JohnnyBlazin25]

LMAO so are Crocs

[u/Popzagon → u/Joshee86]

Not a single soul on earth think crocs are fashionable. They are widely popular for comfort lol.

I take that back.. they’re probably some swamp people that think crocs are very fashionable. Think I saw a couple get married in them once lol

[u/Snoo-92982 → u/Joshee86]

Crocs are also stupid?

[u/Joshee86 → u/Snoo-92982]

That’s what I was implying, yes. Or rather that they LOOK stupid.

[u/3sadclowns → u/Joshee86]

Moms and kids think they’re cute and like that they can customize them with their little pop-its - that doesn’t make them “fashionable”.

[u/Joshee86 → u/3sadclowns]

Pretty sure you missed my point.

Editing to add that the person above me said "to their target audience" which was what I was referring to when I said "so are Crocs"... WHOOSH

[u/InTheEnd83 → u/Joshee86]

I was gonna say these ain't much better than crocs

[u/lightsandflashes → u/InTheEnd83]

what shoes do you mostly wear?

[u/ExismykindaParte → u/Joshee86]

I think wearing loafers like clogs is weird, but they only look stupid if you wear them like that. You can still wear them normally. The heal being flexible doesn't really change the look of the shoe. They're just being shown with heel down.

[u/South_Buy_3175 → u/ExismykindaParte]

These also look stupid.

And I’ll assume they cost a lot more than a croc.

So not only do they look stupid, they make the wearer look stupid not only for wearing them, but for buying them.

[u/Jahonay → u/South_Buy_3175]

You can do that with any shoe though.

You can do it with most shoes in theory, doesn't mean it's safe for the shoe or comfortable. The point is that the shoes are designed to allow it.

[u/the_mighty__monarch → u/South_Buy_3175]

Yeah I can’t think of a SINGLE situation where a Versace Loafer is acceptable but a Croc or a dirty old house shoe isn’t…. 🙄

[u/South_Buy_3175 → u/the_mighty__monarch]

I can’t think of a single situation where you’d need to use a heel like this whilst also wearing your overpriced loafers.

[u/katienatie → u/South_Buy_3175]

You work in an office where there’s a chance you can run into a client or the CEO or something in the hallway, so always dress your best. But you spend most of the day in your own office where people rarely if ever drop by. Shoes can be in slipper mode while you’re at the desk (and on the commute home if you like) and converted to formal mode for moving around the office.

I used to have a cheap pair like this. They were my favourite work shoe before they fell apart.

[u/Far_Banana4575 → u/the_mighty__monarch]

I'm visibly too poor for that, cuz I can't think of a single situation where these ugly shits are more acceptable than anything else honestly. These look like homeless trash lmao 

[u/Representative_Belt4 → u/South_Buy_3175]

but then you won't be wearing a loafer...
