First off, you gotta admit, there’s something about that Burberry check that just screams “I have *some* money.” Whether it’s subtle or plastered all over a pair of sneakers, it’s instantly recognizable. Farfetch keeps tellin’ me about their “atemporal elegance” and “refined palette.” Alright, alright, I get it, they’re fancy. But fancy doesn’t always equal quality, does it?
And that’s where the Reddit threads come in. People are asking the real questions! Are these things gonna fall apart after a couple of wears? Are we paying for the *name* or the *shoe*? See, I’m skeptical, okay? I’ve seen some pretty pricey stuff that looked like it was made by a toddler with glue and glitter. Not that there’s anything wrong with glitter.
Then there’s the whole “where are they made” mystery. Somewhere, probably. I mean, if you can get them in 12 installments on Farfetch, they are mass-produced. It’s not like some artisan in a tiny Italian village is hand-stitching every single pair. (Although, wouldn’t *that* be amazing? And probably cost a small fortune. Forget it.)
And Farfetch also keeps banging on about “feminine fashion” and “maximum comfort.” I mean, come on, every shoe ad says that, right? Comfort? From a pair of heels with that iconic check? I’m not so sure. Maybe the sneakers. They look pretty comfy, actually. Especially the leather or canvas ones. I can see rocking those with some jeans and a slightly smug expression. Maybe I’d even pay a little extra for that smugness. JK. Sort of.
Oh, and some random thing about “metal high-precision press processing” for their women’s sneakers. Wait, what? Is that even relevant? Are we talking about shoe-making or rocket science here? Sometimes the product descriptions just throw in random buzzwords to make things sound impressive, don’t they?
