Irregular Choice Muppets: Louder! Louder!
Hello! This week I'm reviewing the Animal themed heels from Irregular Choice's Muppets collection, called Louder! Louder!
I was immediately drawn to the furry heel, which we'd already seen on several styles this summer. Underneath the fur fabric, is a reasonably chunky heel (like Whoopi Do, Flaming June, May Meadow etc), so I find it really stable and comfortable. On my Cream Puff sandals, I rub the fur up the wrong way, so it's super fluffy and I've done the same with these. It looks nice smoothed down too though!
There's a small silver glitter platform at the front and an open toe finished with a jagged edged trim of the same silver glitter. The front of the shoe is made into Animal's face and I mentioned this in the preview, but I absolutely love that Animal's mouth is beneath your toes as part of the insole. It's a quirky touch that finishes them off perfectly. There's white teeth on the sides of the shoes, an orange pom pom nose, large applique eyes and hairy eyebrows across the top that almost sit upwards on the foot. Looking from above with the tongue/open mouth detail, it's just brilliant!
The main uppers are a red horsehair, but as I mentioned previously, it has an almost velvet pile appearance. It looks more luscious than horsehair usually looks and has a lovely sheen. Down each side are large applique letters in gold glitter. One shoe saying "Animal", the other "Louder" and there's a strip up the centre back with a gold glitter exclamation mark to finish each word. You'll also see the same spiked silver glitter trim as the front, so it all ties in nicely.
The inside features the padded all over Disney Muppets print with the half insole in gold metallic with the Irregular Choice and Muppets branding. As a sidenote, I really hope they continue with this style of insole as I was just looking at the SS17 cats today, thinking how lovely it is to have that image inside the shoe.
The soles are the all-over turquoise print but with a large Animal face under the pad of the foot with "Animal!" and "Louder!" scrawled up the instep in bold yellow lettering.
For details on the fit of these and to see them on the foot, see my Shoesday Tuesday post and you can find images of the Muppets box here. Once I break in that front section, I can see me reaching for these a lot as they are easy to wear, though maybe not for torrential rain kinda days! Plus they look awesome with the coordinating handbag. I did love the Animal flats even more than these heels, but I just can't walk in flats (though seriously considered it, because they are crazy cool). What do you think, do you like these?
