Designer Neil Barrett has teamed up with Puma and the result is this Puma 96 Hour by Neil Barrett Ferro Boot in Terra, $404. This has got to be one of the weirdest boot and sneaker hybrids out there. It's definitely going through an identity crisis — part of it wants to be slick, part of it wants to be sporty. My single identity doesn't approve of this one. Does yours?

I don't hate it. I love the leather and the color, but I might make a few slight changes to it. Overall, kind of cute.
1Love it.
2I love it.
3I love the stud detail but I'm not liking the way the toe part curls up
4I like them. Very high fashion and fashion forward.
5I'm with you fab, this is the weirdest shoe I've ever seen!
6I really like them and I would probably buy them, though I agree with gruaig_rua in the curling up thing on the toe part, I would leave it straight though maybe once you're wearing them it doesn't look weird, who knows.
7love the studs but the bottom/heels are just weird.
8It looks all wrong to me somehow.
9*not a fan*
10The toe part is kind of bizarre, how it seems to curl upward. I think the buttons are cute though.
11I don't like the heel design. It's very- I don't know, frumpy or cheap or 90's????
12LOVE IT!
13It be nice with a couple of changes.
14What is that?!
15Love the boot part with the buttons! Just change the toe part and maybe make the wedge a little higher...perfect.
16What is it? I refuse to believe its a boot.. it has buttons or something on it?
17I think I like it ... but I'm not quite sure.
18Nop, not for me, they look like something a Victorian urchin would be forced to wear after years of limping about in iron calipers.
19It´s one of the ugliests boots i ever seen. Hate the color, hate the buttons, hate the heel... Far from me, please!
20i actually think the concept is genius but they didn't quite pull it off. maybe they need to play around with the design a bit.
21
I like them.
22ew
23It's not bad. I like the buttons and the color but I don't like the heel or toe part. It's too sporty
24HAHAHAAAAAAAA!! Ava Gardner totally called it! Only for me the weird Charles Dickens vibe is what makes them oddly appealing. "Please, sir, may I have some more?"
25Don't hate it, don't love it. Toes look very "elf" like! For $404, I know I could get at least 3 boot styles that I LOVE vs. 1 that I am uncertain of.
26Super ugly.
27I would love these -- very stylish, but practical -- and they look comfy.
28I love these! I was taking the longchamp quiz and all I could see to my right was these beautiful boots. I love the way they are made to lool like they are a mixture from now and another century. They need to make me a pair for a cheaper price. Gosh I love these.
29EWWWWW
30Gosh these are the freaking ugliest shoes everywhere........GAHHHH whoever designed that needs to get do something else!
31I think I would have to try them on to decide.... I feel like they would either be gorgeous or hideous depending on the details and how much that toe actually curled up.
32Love these, but can't imagine paying so much!
33I don't like the top shape or the side.
34NO
35It has a tad bit too many men's shoe qualities to the shoe half itself but the calf area and details are great.
36Totally love them! Also enjoying the commentroversy they have caused! Usually everyone is on the same page, but there is definitely a great divide on these boots.
37I love these! I personally wouldn't get it because I wear size 9 1/2/10, and I don't think it would look as good in that size. But on smaller feet, and the right outfit, these boots would looks great
38not loving it
39I think they're cute
40I would wear them!
hate them, but I'm biased. The "sneaker boot" was extremely popular with college girls when I was studying in South America this past year, and it made me soooo sick of them. Every girl had the same tan pumas. . . .
41Plus I tend to hate any shoes without heels.
Love.
42Want.
Must steal.
