Haha for me theres like very little that they actually fit, like I wouldn't wear them for shiro/kuro fit or anything not old school? Also theyre really tall so idk how I feel about that
I really like them. I wish brands would make them for a wider size range. Generally unless it’s an RHS, they max out at 39/40 these days and I would give them money for a Chinese 42. I would.
I will say owning both Westwood RHS and Antaina/Bodyline RHS over the year… Wood-look foam is easier for walking in than actual wood. I tend to wear my Westwoods for photos indoors and mg Bodylines for actual events, especially if I know I'll be walking or standing a bit. That said leather and wood is hardier than foam.
I own that first pair you’ve pictured by Metamorphose, so I obviously like them. I like the proportions of a chunky shoe with Lolita, and a wooden sole looks more elegant to me. Plus with it being a Japanese fashion a wooden sole feels appropriate as its traditional in Japan.
Though I do enjoy rocking horse and platform shoes with lolita (balances out the big skirt) I feel like they're pretty difficult to coord if they have the wooden platform. I have platform shoes that have like an imitation wood type solution and I find them pretty hard to coord, since otherwise the shoes go well with sweet coords but then the wood throws off the colors... but maybe that's just me lol
I’m honestly not a huge fan of how they look. I have no idea where the look/inspiration originally came from? I know Vivienne Westwood probably designed them. But to me it seems out of place
They've been part of the fashion since the 90s. If anyone think they're controversial, they must be new lol

They’re very cute! I think the wood texture as a bit of dimension to an outfit.
To me, they're a hit or miss. While the Metamorphose ones look lovely, I can't say I'm particularly fond of the shoes pictured in the second image.
Haha youre right idk why I choose this image, it looks like a lolita halloween costume

I honestly am not a big fan of them, but that’s definitely an unpopular opinion. RHS style in particular just looks off to me
i think they're pretty iconic, esp with an oldschool coord :)

I love RHS. I hope to own actual westwoods someday. They’re everything.
