Can't they be cool and loud? In the best way :)

I pondered these for myself too... and ultimately decided they're a bit too much.

Marianna, have you tried them on?

I passed on to DD for comfort reasons a pair of calf hair DV booties with a similar pattern and vibe. The strong pattern takes some outfits up a notch or two, but is horrible meh with others. Soft colors and gray don't work terribly well, but of course strong graphics and vibrant colors are great.

I think they're super cool.

They look worth a try. I like the bit of color on them.

They are cool but I feel they are a little much. Then again, you have much more height than me and probably would not be overwhelmed by them as I might.

I would much prefer them without the red details. The zebra calf hair alone would have been super cool!

These would be so cool with a black tux.

I could see them with white jeans/pants, even a white skirt. Or black jeans/pants/skirt. You definitely have the height to pull off a statement flat like this.

In my experience, shoes like these are fun but hard to style. I have some white and black hair calf spotted wedge oxfords that remind me of these. I do wear them, but not much. When I do, they make a big statement and people will stop to comment. -
It depends on how many other shoes you have. I can see them really lifting a really simple outfit.

Cool.

Kinda cool, but I agree that the red stripe on the sole might be a tad over the top. I can't find a good fit with Sperry's myself. I'm like a 10 1/4 and they don't even make many in 10.5 and I find them a tad narrow. Sad because I'd love some boat shoes.

I think they are very cool, but I wouldn't have worn them myself because I need something calmer to not feel overwhelmed. You, on the other hand, have the height and a strong, stylish appearance that could support this look.

Your replying agree they are worth trying. You have the height which I think "balances" such a statement piece. I could see them working with neutral outfits very well.

I think they'd be too much for some people and not for others. Sveta, you have the drama to pull them off -- if you can imagine styling them. If you can, I say go for it! They look really comfortable. I would even try them myself and I am much shorter than you. But I'm holding out for a spectator style instead. -
Thanks for your opinions, ladies. I think I am not sure if they will fit into my style - hence the question. If I have the opportunity to order them I may try them - just for fun.
