orla kiely/clarks shoe range, opinions please...

[nipersvest]

what do you think?

i like some, not all, and am tempted by these in particular, although the other day they were £80 not £90

just not sure i'd get a lot of wear out of them, for £90 shoes, i'd need to love them and wear them lots.

[buttercrumble]

Love love love them , dd just splashed out on 2 pairs
www.clarks.co.uk/p/20359300
www.clarks.co.uk/p/20359287 and they are fab

[DaftSkunk]

I want to like them, but I can't. There a bit too clunky imo.

[dexter73]

I got quite excited when I got the email about it but unfortunately they are all minging.

[Alwayscheerful]

They are lovely shoes but the popular sizes are sold out already.

[minko]

Lovely??? They look a bit charity shop to me. I love OK usually...

[WhereIsMyHat]

Exactly the same as DaftSkunk, I so wanted to like them but I just don't. But, I was thinking of channeling the 70s this summer so these could work.

[Pandsbear]

Ooh well I do like them (mostly)! Shame I am a) on shopping ban and b) have old-lady insoles for my decrepit feet so I wouldn't be able to wear them.

[notso]

My Mums wedding shoes were not dissimilar to these she will be well chuffed she is back 'in'!

[Wuxiapian]

I like OK, but would draw the line at that shoe collection.

[Alwayscheerful]

I see where you are all coming from, not my style at all and I love OK do you think they look like shoe a the queen would wear?

[Ohwhatfuckeryisthis]

They are a bit 60s and 70s and not in a good way.And really, £100 for Clark's?

[Plumpcious]

Thanks for this post. I've succumbed and ordered a pair. As the shoes are home delivery only (ie can't try on before you buy) maybe the currently-out-of-stock sizes might come back into stock as people return them?

Double Nectar points for online purchases at Clarks until 31 January, if anyone's interested.

[TheCraicDealer]

Too clunky, and the ones that areok just aren't high enough to remove the Hotter-shoes-esque look. The flats are alright, but I don't like the hole-punch shit going on there.

Nice to see something a bit different on the High Street though- I do like seeing people wearing interesting shoes, even if they're not my bag.

[burnishedsilver]

Some of them are ok. Most of the are from the Brady Bunch wardrobe department.

[burnishedsilver]

Can't you just picture them with these outfits?

[Dontletthemgetyoudown]

I quite like the marie ones but they wouldn't match anything that I would normally wear, so I doubt if I would buy them. I do like orla kiely especially her leather handbags, a bit disappointed there isn't anything say tan leather with the punched holes in.

[JohnCusacksWife]

Horrible, ugly shoes....

[janmoomoo]

Normally love everything OK and also love Clarks but these are not nice. Agree they are bad 70's throwback. And £100 for a pair of sandals?? Plus Orla is on blinking everything these days, cars, mugs, towels, spectacles, uniqlo, you can't get away from her (she must be absolutely minted).

[NorbertDentressangle]

No, quite hideous I'm afraid unless you have a fabulous vintage wardrobe to carry them off.

(and I like OK designs generally...she says wearing her OK scarf)

[AndTwoBits]

Ugly clumpy kitch shoes. I would never buy these, they are totally not my style.

[alltoomuchrightnow]

omg i want them. and I DO have a fab vintage wardrobe..and a long fringe and false lashes and and and ?!!!! oh yes big want. One problem, not working right now :-(

[Financeprincess]

Didn't Mildred Roper wear these in 1976?

[ItsATIARA]

I like them - I think they're Brady Bunch in a good way. I have a maxi denim dress I'd wear with them - but not at those prices. I'm hoping that everyone else is of the "ewwwwww, fugly" persuasion so I can get them dirt cheap in the next sale.

[alltoomuchrightnow]

yeh me too Its !

[Best1sWest]

I had a pair almost identical to the first link when I was about 13 in the 70s. I loved them then.
