id return them. what the hell is going on in the toe area?

[black.shadow]

return and if you cannot get your cash back, get store credit. its better than having something which you will not wear. good luck.

flat round studs, i recall

[schmoses]

the toe studs alternate between round and spiky.

here's where we're at:

still on the fence. went through some helmut lang archives this morning for some context to rationalize keeping them and they really aren't that clownish. i mean obviously they are but it's fashion. if i keep them i can rock them based upon my style. they are terribly agressive which is a fun thing but wearability as i get older is the issue.

masuerte, in terms of a proper costume, they seriously work with my style. tartan trousers, jodhpurs, attenuated denims, dior dhoti pants plus slim suiting. they honestly do work.

thank you everyone for opinions. they really are helping. got four more days to deliberate.
