Haven't been to Walk, but Office and Zara are reliable sources of pointiness.

Okay, these shoes are utterly non-pointy, but I'd like opinions. I tried them on the same time as the ones above, but they were too big. Do you think they might look nice? (NB the top bit isn't actually wider, it's because they were unzipped)

Speaking of which, can someone please bring back jackets that actually FIT? Then I could stop seeing all the waifish wrists sticking out like chicken legs.

yeah the thing is it usually, like 99% of the time, is totally art-studented out, combined with really carefully messy hair, bad facial hair and so on - round here you see far too many boys like this.
also skinny jeans are just so unflattering on boys, i fail to see how making your legs look like twigs is a good thing.

I certainly wouldn't buy a pair for £20, possibly because I assume breaking them in would be an excruciating experience.

Kim, hmm. Yes, I see where you're coming from, and I'm not altogether sure it's a bad thing :) I kind of want cowboy boots; those ones were in my mind a kind of compromise. I still like how they look - I might go try on a pair of 42s unless anyone thinks they're really bad.

Are you sure? As I said, the pointy bit is actually just an appendage on the end of the shoe, really. You don't have to fit your toes into it. They are longer than they would be otherwise. Or if they're not, just get a bigger size than normal.
I don't like those second boots, Mark. They look like a bit Blake's 7.

Let's go off-topic a little, and tell me about your favourite office shoes. I need to buy more work shoes. You know the deal. Smart etc etc. However each time I go to buy sensible work shoes they seem dull and expensive so I walk out with aforementioned houndstooth+bows combination. Once I accidentally bought shoes with donkeys on them, AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE SENSIBLE OPTION. Guh.

The worst form of pointy shoe is the "diamond point" which sorta taper into toward the ankle

SRSLY though I wore cowboy boots many years ago. Then I realised everyone hated them. I moved on to square-toed motorcycle-esque boots. No-one liked them either. Finally tried some chelsea boots and I think we were all much happier with that decision.

Wonder Woman boots! Merrell Spire Peaks. I bought them for my husband's birthday party, and wore them with a black chenille tunic/dress thing slit up the sides to my hipbones, and cool tights. I got the dress at the thrift shop for $3. For his 50th I decided to dress like a slutbag superhero.

Pretty standard, but pointier than my previous pair (and a steal at $85 on sale)
