Fendi: Chain Reaction
Posted on October 22nd, 2007 by shoesense under Fendi ShoesYou’ve probably heard by now about the Great Wall of China Fendi extravaganza. No? Then go read about it immediately. I have to admit: a really, really gutsy idea! Not the mention, now it’s going to be so much easier (and faster) for all those Chinese Fendi-knock-offs to flood the market!
At any rate, I was, surprise-surprise, concerned with the shoes. As it was usually the case this year, the point of interest lay in the heels, and Fendi’s gimmick is this chunky-chain heel. I have to confess I wasn’t impressed with either the height, which made models scrunch their toes for dear life, or the way the straps wrapped around the foot. In all honesty, it made some of the models look club-footed, especially from a distance. I’m not a fan of the chained heel either. I find it gimmicky, precious, and ultimately…meh. What do you think?

The Fendi chain heel is a Nay for me.

eughh, they look awful. Not only are they ugly shoes but they make the model’s feet look hideous and rally don’t do the fabulous outfits many favours either.
chain heels - not a fan. yuck

I agree with the meh - maybe even double meh. And it’s not just the height that makes the poor girl scrunch her toes: the heel is set back so far she has to pole-vault at every step to get her toes to the ground!
