    If you really feel you can afford to spend your student loan on shoes, maybe wait til the end of the year incase you need it in the end.

    It is a lot of money for velvet shoes in Britain however, they will get ruined if you ever wear them outside.

    They are quite nice and I'd be willing to pay that much for shoes if they were exceptional but never with my student loan :O

    I like the shoes, but it's a waste of money. They won't last long, being velvet. Get caught in the rain and they're ruined.

    Why would you assume women buy pretty shoes just to impress men?

    Normally I'd be loving £485 shoes. I could easily spend ridiculous money on shoes if had it.

    But those are absolutely disgusting, they look like granny slippers

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of designer labels, the latest trends and all that malarkey.

    I do however adore these shoes:

    I can afford it (thanks to student loan) but I don't know if I can justify spending that type of money when that could buy 50 shoeless homeless people a pair of shoes and so on.

    EDIT: So much hate for these poor shoes, leave em alone. I'm not buying them.

    It's obviously clear that's that they are too expensive, a better way I could have put it was - is it worth it?
    I think it's pretty funny that the majority of you have gone on relentlessly about how 'ugly' they are, FYI not everyone has the same taste and like the same things if we did then it would be a boring world!

    £485 for flats!?!

    They are very elegant, and unique, and pretty though. If they were £200 I might tell you to get them.
