It was both the grotesque kangaroo fur protruding over the edges and the price tag ($995!!) that I found off-putting.
But I'm all for backless loafers, they are a practical and comfortable solution to footwear when the weather warms up, plus you don't have to worry about having a perfectly pedicured foot to wear them.
They're going to be big this spring/summer season, so if you're going to go Guccil, I suggest you start saving.
