Let me start by saying the detail on these heels is exquisite, and I never use that word so you know it has to be good. The heel is woven leather, the toe is woven cotton, and the Italian suede is hugged by grosgrain ribbon and braided straw edging. These shoes are over the top luxury and at $1,500; you get what you pay for. At first I absolutely hated the ribbon at the toe. I thought, with a simple leather top and front, these would be so much more wearable, and that they reminded me of sneakers (and we all know what I think of sneaker pumps). However, in taking a closer peek at the Dior Tahiti ribbon pumps I realized the ribbon at the toe led my eye up the pump, then wound around the woven detail and up to the ribbon ties. It flows, it’s over the top, and worn with the right dress, could be just….dreamy. What do you guys think of the extreme ribbon Dior pumps? Slob or snob?

They get points for creativity and detail, but I would never wear this. I can’t say it is slob, because it seems well done, but I don’t think the concept is snob.
Total SNOB! I don’t think of sneakers when I see these, I think of ballet slippers.
While I can appreciate them as art, I have to say slob. There’s just too much mess going on for my tastes.
