The shoes/sandals look freakish because our feet are not squared off at the toes. The sandals look like one is walking on spatulas. It will be interesting how long this trend lasts...

I really dislike those square toes and the heels would dislike me...PAIN! I had a pair of shoes in the late 60s that look just like those brown slides. I might enjoy wearing those again.

It's interesting that this is a style that has just come back around. I remember squared toed shoes/boots back in the 80's or early 90's. I have a pair with an almost cowboy rendention that squared off and they are comfortable as all get out. Trying to remember the brand but can't at the moment. This of course, is when I rocked heels all the time.

All trends come back around....

I don't like the squared off toe. I can't wear slides either. My ankle slips without an ankle strap or closed in back.

The slide type shoes remind me of watching the Golden Girls. That's all Blanche wore. They would click clack as she walked on the show. I don't like the sound of that.....

Just not at all appealing to me.

I prefer closed heel and toe (pointed or almond) shoes with a block heel no higher than 1.5"

I don't understand why women wear sandals that their feet hang over the side of the shoe just to look stylish.

I think their thoughts were "I got into THAT size" when nothing of the kind is reality!

In some instances, they buy heels SO high, they slide forward. There are inserts to keep feet from nsliding forward.

Not for me.

Closed-toe squares, not so bad, I wore some back in The Beforetime.

The square toe is ugly. Not attractive on the foot.

@ECBG This is just as bad. How about buying a size up? Toes are off the shoe and on the ground. Yuck.

I've used this picture before. Likely, this is when some one says " I GOT INTO.........". Nope, Honey, you didn't!!!

I got rid of all of my square toe shoes years ago.

I guess everything old is new again.

I'm glad I didn't. I still have a nice pair of black ankle boots barely worn I can pull out and be on trend. Though, being on trend is not something I care about most of the time.
