So I just bought a pair of heels the other day, which should match and go well with an online order jacket i decided to purchase just last week.
So i decide to wear them out to school, and one of my friend points out that my shoes look like they are going through some gender issues.
All I know is they are quite comfy, and well after a little bit of interpretation they seem to go either which way.

Any thoughts or opinions about them?

I'm sure in the 18th century people would see them as mens shoes; today they'd probably be seen more for women because they have a slight heel. I think they could go either way too. As long as you're happy with them :)

I just walked in and said "Give me the gayest shoes you got!"

Elis,
Very true, but even in this day men's dress shoes and the likes still have a slight heel. I am satisfied with them, and was looking for something with a sort of vintage look to them, which is what I found at DSW.
I'm thinking the boxy front gives the male stylized look toward them, but other than that, its not much but shoes with issues.
Devlyn,
Those shoes are fantastic, and look like a happy pair. ;)

I like them a lot. And after three days wear, I haven't had any issues at all. Though by the end of today, I feel the heel is a bit too low.
