shoes: are these frumpy or stylish?

That I cannot tell the defference between to polarizing styles can only mean I need serious help!

I ordered these from zappos.  They are meant to be my stylish comfy go-to summer shoes for when my sporty keens won't do, flip flops are too casual, but dress shoes are not required. 

They are SUPER comfy.  I'm wearing them with a solid, darkish blue dress and I really like the colors.  I'm not sure about the style and unless they are compliment-worthy I'm not keeping them as they were $185.

Hit me with your honest opinions.

Re: shoes: are these frumpy or stylish?

  • I also ordered these UGGs which are equally comfy and less cost at $120.  But I'm likeing the way the yellow compliments my wardrobe.

  • I like them all. But I guess I'm considered frumpy bc I don't wear heels.

  • I LOVE the top ones, the colored ones not so much.  I think the tan ones are more versatile. I would keep them IF they're comfortable. 
  • I don't think they are either, TBH.

    I hope I am not offending anyone-- but they sort of look like something a European tourist would wear to walk around the big city.  The cutout is bugging me.

  • I would wear the beige and pink shoes. The blue are just ok for me.

    I thought wearing flats was frumpy.

  • I like the first pair but I don't like any shoes for over $100.  I have these from shoes.com for about $56 similar style, but beige instead of yellow:

  • I don't love any of them especially considering the prices I would think they would be nicer.  Something about the cut out on the first ones is odd.  You can definitely find cuter wedges and for cheaper too.

  • I like the top ones. If they were a thinner wedge vs. a platform I would consider them.

     I did LOL at the European tourist comment. You should hear the comments about American tourists' footwear in Europe.

  • I looked at Nordstrom Rack and didn't find anything.  I don't have the time to check back weekly.

    I think what is odd about the shape is the very square toe.

    I'm so torn.  60% of me wants to return them but I'm worried I won't fin

  • For those prices, no way. They have an odd feel that I can't place but they are NMS, and for that much money Im way to cheap when it comes to things for myself, but that is serious so expensive for wedges

  • IMO - that's too much money for shoes you are just "meh" about it.

    I'm OK spending $30 to not love something, but I need it from Target or Payless.  but, for that price point, I better love it and get a lot of wear out of if.

  • The first pair is okay. I wouldn't compliment you on them, as they seem kind of meh..
    The second two pairs look like old lady shoes.

    IMO, the cutout on the first pair is odd and the toe is too squared.  You sound like you're looking for an excuse to return them, so return them.  

    Personally I like the blue ones the best.  The pink ones look very juvenile.  

  • I LOVE wedges!  I think they are cute!

    I wouldn't call them frumpy. If they are comfortable to you then, by all means go for it...you could do way worse.

    I'm a runner and I had to chose between continuing to run or wear unreasonably painful shoes...I chose running.

  • I like the first pair but am not as crazy about the UGGs.

  • I like the top ones, not the other two. For me it totally depends on how you wear those. They could easily be frumpy or cool depending on the outfit. For instance pairing those with any kind of slack-like capris or even a sun dress wouldn't work for me, i
