Why aren't you wearing this? Peep-toe Oxford Pump

We're seeing a lot of heeled shooties (shoe-like boots) this season, and, truth be told, we're not falling all over ourselves for them. We know that a heavier shoe is hot and all, but some of them just seem a little awkward -- like they'd cut off the leg in a bad spot, and some just don't have much style. These, however, we want.
This mix of school girl and sexiness has us all excited -- it's like a standard oxford lace-up, but with a peep-toe! and stiletto! and it's red! It's the Peep-toe Oxford Pump, and it's just $59 at Spiegel.

Now, if you're unsure about the red, they do come in black, and we're kind of loving them in the darker hue, too -- it's just that the red is so much fun. Aside from pairing them with the short plaid mini and this fall's de rigeur crested blazer, we'd throw them on with a sharp pencil skirt and feminine blouse, and maybe even with some wider-leg black trousers to mix it up.

Why am I not wearing them? Because they're absolutely atrocious!! I don't care if everyone is wearing them, someone out there has to stand up in the name of taste and say no, no, no!!

I like these but prefer the ones with a bit more pattern. Also, the peep toe really hurts my feet so I went for the full toed version. I do like the red color!
