I’ll be honest. The leg comments from last month’s shoe feature creeped me out. You all made me want to put my face under a pillow and hide in a well stocked closet. I mean… This week I covered the stems as to avoid your creepiness. So, here we are at shoe selection 3 from Shoe Dazzle. For the newbies, I joined Kim Kardashian’s weird shoe club. I pay 39 dollars a month and I pick shoes after she picks like 5 for me based on my sparkle personality and then, she sends them to me and I own them free and clear. Well, 39 dollar free. So far so good. We at MODG have been pleased with the shoes KK has sent. This week I’m not so sure.
Ok here’s the deal. I was all…I’m not getting shoes this month. I’m super economical thrifty girl and I don’t need them. THEN I open my InStyle and there they are, staring at my needy face. Shit. I need them. So that trick ho got me again. Kim. Enough is enough.
So here they are friends. Meet the camel bootie:
!!!!!I gotta get up more loot
Time to throw back on the army suits and Timberland boots (!!)
Hi I’m MODG. But you can call me MODG. You say it like Modg, like a Grandma name. Not like M.O.D.G. That’s a lot of syllables and I don’t have that kind of time.

I actually like them. Yes, they do have a wee bit of urban flair when you compare them like that…but not too much. I like the color too.
PS Your shoe photography is fab…maybe you should consider a career change.
I think they are super cute!! Urban flair yes but you safe since they don't have laces in them.
You are hysterical! I am part of KK's show club too- but I have yet to order a pair of shoes. I was nervous about the quality. so tell me, how are they? Love or hate? Cheaply made?!
Also- I thought they were cute UNTIL you pulled the Timb's card. I hate Timb's. The boyf has a pair and I have threatened to throw them out because he looks like a thug… a big ol', redneck, Maine thug.
You make those shoes look good.
Ok, I TOTALLY love them. I say “keepers” and I have to also add that I'm a little pissed at you. I've stated how much Kim K makes me want to hurl and yet, your new shoes have made me actually bookmark her site and consider joining…grrr!
I've never been a bit fan of the booties – but these are really sort of cute. I think it's the heel that makes them OK, fem and not thuggish – I agree with Heather they don't have laces so they are more bootie and less Timberland. Oh the days of Timberland Boots…
Dress these up with a non-urban outfit and you're good to go. I think I'd like them better if they were gray or black but honestly that's so boring. These stand out more and in a good way!
Don't go chasing waterfalls, Jenny from the Block.
They don't remind me of the Timberlands {worst fashion trend ever}; rock em girl. Put on some cute tights and maybe a sweater dress and wear em with flare. If some one makes fun of you, it will be another hilarious post!!
I like them!
I picture you curb-stomping some chick with booties like that! They're bad ass!
I like them too! Very cute and they can go with anything. What a fun club that is you to belong to. Beats BJ'S!
Okay, I actually love the boots! They may be a tad urban but I don't think that's a bad thing. I certainly think that they are WAY hotter than the Timberlands.
I normally don't get into the whole “bootie” look, but those are cute. I like the heel and the buckle….very cute and non-timberlandbootish.
I think that you are over-thinking this one. I like them. And as you know, these are my all-time favorite posts! I will personally pay for a month or two of your membership just to keep these reviews coming!!!
I'm unfollowing because I can see your toilet paper roll.
They are totally cute. With some wide leg jeans…perfect!
NONONONONONONONONONO! Those are just wrong. The color is weird and they look like you think you belong “in one of those rap guys videos.”
NO! Smack KK with the grill pan.
I really like them… but then I had the exact same thought you had.
But either way, I actually think they're cute with the skinny jeans.
But it was tough and go for a minute there…
My sister got the SAME pair! =) I love them! Not that my opinion matters, but I like them! =)
I think it's the color. Now all I see are Timberland boots.
I think they're cute.
I'm not gonna lie… those are definitely urban.
Have to admit, I am not a fan!
I'm not feeling them. And once you played the Timberland boots card, I liked them even less.
Poor choice for KK.
Now, I am not a Shoe Star, but I don't think those are the same. No laces, totally different heel. They look cute on you!
You know…I don't see the connection…laces vs totally cute buckle – ugly black trim vs solid neutral color – different colored heel vs same colored heel…I think you're in the clear of being ghetto-fabulous…though, your mom is the ghetto-fabulous club president…so maybe you should rethink your fashion goals
~WM
I have similar boots, which I love … so I vote keepers! I actually like yours a little better – darker colored – more wearable. Good job Kim!
They are verging. But as long as you don't pair it with some South Pole, I think you are good.
I dont like the color. i wish they were black..I think I would have a hard time matching them with something. And booties kind of remind me of elves..
I think they definitely have a “ghetto fab” vibe. Paired with some tight jeans and a hoodie (especially one lined with fur) and you're in Apple Bottom Jeans Girl territory.
We should sue for false advertisement!!! She pulled the hoodie over my eyes too this week…mine however were black. They are being shipped back…like PRONTO…on the double!!! Lol
I thought I was going to like them too. Maybe they just look awkward with Skinny Jeans. Have you tried them with anything else? Maybe it's the color.
I think they are cute! The buckle is a nice touch, nothing like the Timberland boots!
i find those boots to be quasi-ghetto fabulous. js.
um. i didn't think of the timberland thing until you pointed it out. and now that's all i can see. stop telling people about the similarities and i don't think anyone else will notice.
does that bitch let you return them to her if you hate them? because i can't help but wonder if there would be something better for the month.
I am going to be honest – cuz I am Italian like that – I am not a fan of the booties. And not just these ones, but the whole bootie style in general.
Here's the deal though – I didn't love the shoes Kim sent me at first, then I had to walk around the house and stand on things to get my mirror shots. I even had my kiddo take pics of my feet, and now I heart them. I had to think outta my box and stretch my comfort zone a bit – which is one of the main reasons I joined the club (that and because MODG said it was that cool). I am posting my new kicks tomorrow!
“I'll show you on my toilet.”
God. You're amazing.
wait. are you truly in the kk shoe club? how does that work?? ahhhhh xxxooo
Since you are so brutally honest with us, I'm going to be honest with you. When I first saw them I thought they looked like a female version of a male's carpenter boot. You know, like these…
http://bit.ly/4EKS1A
If it were me, I'd ship them back… Please don't hate on me!
Ok coming from a RICAN which totally means I know what is ghetto fabulous or just plain ghetto…
THOSE fkn shoes are hot and do not look like anything people wear in my neighborhood… I LOVE THEM….
GOSH I so want those… I can hear the neighborhood now.. ok look at her what she thinks she is all white washed and shyt …. then I will turn and say YEP… and keep on walking LOL.. LOVE IT!
Umm, I hadn't seen the 'Timbs' in them until you pointed the similarity out! But I still think they are cute and that you can totally rock them.
I like the boots, just not the color.
Um, well you can ask yourself, “What would Suri do?”
i like them on you, go on with yo bad self….if they had laces i would 'fo sho' go ghetto on kim's ass…but i think you're safe
I have almost the same ones in black. I love that you are standing on the toliet….that is something that I would do!
I hate it that your legs are skinnier than mine.
You are going to have to stop flaunting your skinny jeans, cute shoes wearing self. It's not right for the rest of us that can't possibly ever wear that.
So, I say go for it…but my fashion sense is horrible.
Oh, and your closet? So jealous.
I don't really like any booties, but those are a cute style…I don't think they look urban, but what do I know? Would they look less urban if they were black or something??
I think the shot is too close. Can you get B to take a shot of you wearing them. Maybe if we could see them with a top and farther away from our faces?
What happened to single guy? The pressure too much for him?
I like them with dark skinny jeans. I don't know about rocking them with a skirt or dress though.
Fug.
No likey.
I'm in total agreement with 'hotpants' above comment,,,they're hawt with skinnies.. and NO they do not resemble late 90's Tims boots. Sweat-not.
i think the lack of laces take them out of the “timberland” realm. very cute with skinny jeans. did i creep you out because i mentioned you had nice legs? sorry about that.
Meh…not my style personally (and I'm a little green that I can't pull off booties like that), but DEFINITELY not as fugtastic as those Timberland atrocities. The buckle is cute. Honestly, the thing I like least about them is the color. They are almost a little too camelly. I think that's the only thing about them that might be giving me a bit of a Timberland vibe.
I think Kimmy pulled a fast one on you. But always a good tribute to LeftEye.
RIP
Oh honey, ya'll should see my barn manure stomping boots! Heeeheehe! I am a matter of fact quite smitten with the first pair! Yes, we really do wear shoes in the Ozarks hills and hollers!
Ya'll have a super fashionable day!!!
Personally, I love them! In fact, I'm experiencing major shoe envy right now!
I think they're safe. They don't have a gummy grip and they don't have laces so you're golden!
I would totally rock them. And I am the least-ghetto person I know.
(I own a similar pair in black…)
they are not at ALL like Timberland boots. I actually like the style….but the color is questionable?!? maybe the camera is playing tricks…but the look a teensy bit orangish.
not to be rude or anything….but i know that you kinda like that anyway
Hey hooker, who you callin' creepy?
I could never rock an ankle boot… my ankles and calves meld into one tree trunk so cutting that shit off makes them look ridiculously tree like!
I'm not sure… I think they look good, but better without feet in them?
They are cute!
I thought they looked cute on you…
But, I am the VERY.LAST.PERSON on this Earth to take fashion advice from. I am scolded for my outfits and shoes all the time.
so, this does not help but I still thought I would give you a comment!
maybe i should save this for your confession posts but I rocked the “fake manolo timbs, straight from Steve Madden” (jayz) in college. Pics to prove it. hahaha.
I'm torn between liking them, and hating them. The colour reminds me a little bit of baby diarrhea… or the color that I imagine baby diarrhea to be.
If you're not 100% sold on 'em, return. You wanted to be thrifty anyways. Take the refund and get a manicure or blow out. Best idea ever??? I think so.
Take pride in your toilet show-off!
It can be your signature! If someone does it, they are such biters!

I immediately thought “J LO”
I don't know if that's good or bad.
Yeah, I'm thinking Jo-Lo crossed with Mary Poppins booties…
They are much classier than Tims. How do they look with skirts?
OMG….I LOVE THOSE BOOTS! i think they are uber sexy with those skinny jeans! but, this comes from the girl that lives on a farm and wears nocona boots when she goes “out on the town”.
but i do love them…the heel, the toe, the buckle. mmmmm….i want some!
I say … no go. Don't like them too much.
Okay, I'm glad this issue has already been resolved.
I saw the first picture and thought, What? Those are cute.
Then, I saw the toilet picture.
Toilet picture, indeed…
And to get on the creepy train, as my freshman college roommate would say, “Nice getaway sticks.”
I think it is the color I;m not so crazy about
When I first saw the picture I was all “oh God, MODG thinks she's Beyonce.” or Kim thinks MODG is Beyonce. Or maybe MODG IS Beyonce!!! OMGGG!!!!
But then I saw them on, with jeans, and I thought “they're not so bad.
And then I thought about it, and they remind me of these ghetto Timbaland monstrosities: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=3238714
Please God, don't do it. Return immediately.
And then I went to shoedazzle because I thought “I wonder what that ho KimmyK is gonna come up with for me… lawyer girl with a shoe obsession.” and I answered all my questions and then I get to the part where I enter my shoe size and YEP, just as I suspected, Kim only has shoes up to a 10. Well listen Kim, I wear an 11. You're a bitch. Keep your 39 dollars.
And now I am pissed, and I am going back to bed.

Besides loving her name, I agree with Legally Fabulous. This is as if the shoe designers Timberland said, let's make a heel. If you want a hiking boot, get a hiking boot. Adding some back stuff in the back isn't helping. It's all of the ugliness of a hiking boot without the practicality.
I looove your booties- and your toilet is nice, too XD
xoxo
jajajajajajaja OMGG I die here…. lefteye?? didn't she died in like '94?? LOL
I'm taking an eCommerce class for grad school this semester. One of our projects is to chose an eBusiness and analyze whether it is a viable business model. I suggested Kimmie K's shoe website, thinking that I could include in our paper feedback from you as a user of and blogger about her business, and increase your famousness on the interwebs since you would be quoted in a major academic publication. (And by this I mean a part-time MBA group paper.)Sadly, the guys in my group vetoed all parts of my proposal.
I like them but when I first glanced (and I thought it could've been my 100 degree fever for 4 days haze) I thought they were Beyonce's heeled Tims! It's a tough decision… hey, they look great on the toilet though
I think they are really cute!!
I really like them!
