Dries van Noten clunkers

I usually adore Dries van Noten, but these? What in the name of the Holy Manolos (Manolo Blahnik, Manolo the Shoeblogger, and Manolo my hairdresser) is this???

Possibly, a long-lost and now found pair of Nurse Ratchett’s shoes.
If she had no style, that is.
Though on second thoughts, if you were in the business of dispensing the tranquilizing psychotropic medication from the little cups and coordinating severe physical and psychological admonishments for the likes of Jack Nicholson, then perhaps these are, indeed, the right shoes to wear. And look–only $600 a pair, why, the bargains you get working the psych ward!

Wow, these are from 4 years ago.
I'm hit or miss on wedges. I do know that if you like similar casual wedges, 80%20 carries a number of similar styles from season to season & the prices are pretty reasonable.

Wrong! You miss Dries van Noten's sass & charm in this pair. I'm searching for a pair of '70's thick-soled frumpy white nursing shoes to offset my over-the-knee socks & tailored shorts. These embody the same interdependent sexiness and proud dorkiness. But for food & housing, I would own these in every sense of the word…
