Thoughts on These Madras Wedges?

dangergirl · Kate Spade

there's a bit too much going on for me

jrhampt · Kenneth Cole

Maybe with a plain white dress...

brazilian · Dooney & Bourke

I think theyre pretty cute. But agree that I would wear them with lighter colors.

Ditto, but I think it could be because I can see the part that your foot will be covering. I would need to see them on a foot before I could say for sure.

I understand the look you are trying to achieve; and I like it. I think they're summery/picnic-worthy. Def with a solid (white, soft pink, navy, chambray, green, khaki) dress is a soft-yet-crisp cotton or linen. I think they could work with slim, dark denim capris and a crisp, white, vintage top too.

Farrah · Marc Jacobs

I'm not digging them. I am particularly adverse to the toe strap.

Here's the type outfit I had planned for this weekend (casual family cookout)

Drew · Gucci

I think they are cute. I am loving madras this season, just bought a lil hat in the pattern.

My only concern would be the ankle tie, sometimes a lot going on at the front of the ankle (instead of a back tie) adds a little too much bulk. Try them on and see!

lynnie · Chanel

i actually really like them. my only problems with ankle ties are looking stumpy :/

Elle · Hermes

I really like them, and they're very 'Rar'

. IMO the ankle ties look like they'd hit at or below the ankle bone and minimize any stumpiness that usually accompanies the higher ties.

I vote CUTE!

Kitty · Hermes

I don't care for them, personally.

Lilykind · Hermes

I'm OBSESSED with madras right now, and I really like those shoes. I think I'd have to see them on a foot to see if I loved them. I think if the toe area was madras and the ankle ties were beige cotton I *might* like them more though.

With Zappos' return policy, it's probably worth a shot to purchase them and return if they look funny/stumpy on

subwolley · Kate Spade

I don't like the color of the heel part. If it was lighter, then yes. The print is cute. But I would pass.

FashionPrincess · Hermes

I like them all except for the ankle tie, seems kind of awkward. I'd like to see them on before I fully decide though.

Christine · Coach

They do look a little busy, but they'd probably be cute on. Just in case you're looking for more options, since you do sound indecisive about them, I remembered seeing these earlier:

Becca · Kate Spade

These are so adorable IRL:

hotcocoa · Kate Spade

i was just going to post this pair. these are the ones i want.
