Talk About Slash: Jeffrey Campbell Slash Tk Boots

My shoe collection is fairly weak. I don’t own many shoes that are there for fun, my shoes are practical. My handbag collection started off practical until I started to take chances with some purchases (think of my quirky Marc Jacobs Fluorescent Tweed Bag). As far as shoes go, I opt for practical, comfortable, and classic. That is not to say that I don’t want to break out of my buying habits, which are somewhat boring when I find so many amazing shoes out there.

The Jeffrey Campbell Slash Tk Shoes may be too far out of my comfort zone, but I have read many people giving these shoes rave reviews. These are thigh high boots that pair rock-n-roll with a touch of goth. Could you find yourself wearing these?

The good news is the price. If I were ever to buy a pair of shoes like this, the price would have to be much lower than my typical shoe purchase. These boots are $190. Let’s get to some more of the details, shall we?

The boots feature synthetic leather upper and lining that is shredded for the slash effect. The TICK base is what all Jeffrey Campbell fans are said to being going crazy over (though I really have no idea). The boots have a 5″ heel with a 1.5″ platform. Buy through Sole Struck for $189.

These are one of those things that I hear people saying they love, but I’m just not seeing it. Are you?

I kind of love them. These are the type of shoes that I would write about positively, aware all the while that I would get hammered for it in the comments. But with the right outfit, I could totally see these looking great.

i love the wedge part but something about peep-a-toe boots i can’t get behind..which is sad for me and good for my wallet since this seems to be the trend lately..hopefully it will go away soon but who knows..

the slashed look isn’t working here for me either, but with the right outfit like amanda says, someone might be able to pull it off.

good thing its made by jeffrey campbell so the price isn’t so steep you can’t have fun with a trend like this.

I agree, I really like them. Creating an outfit with these would be much fun.

Well… they are okay for a 20 something in their goth phase. And they should never see the daylight – i.e. only for Saturday night in a Goth club. That’s it.

I can see how someone could make these look killer but NMS.

I would love these if I were a young 20 something going to raves. They look cheap and are just impractical.

it looks like a monster ate your legs and barfed the toes
