They're really not my cup of tea.

But if you have nice feet they'd look ok.

I hate them.. Sorry. Unless you're 18 and size 8-10 and then you may get away with wearing them ironically. Apart from that they'll be frumptastic.

Actually I think they are pretty cool. That block heel style is very fashionable this season and they are very comfortable to wear. There was a 2 page feature on that style of sandal in last weeks Grazia, so you are very fashion-forward Wink

I prefer the other colour way, but if you like orange then go for it

ooh no...they will cut off your ankles and make your feet look frumpy.

If you want a block heel these are nieces - different colours available..

Thos Next sandals will only look good on long slim legs with delicate ankles.

Not loving them, sorry.
Heel is a bit too low, if they were wedges maybe but agree they are frumpy.

I meant to say that I don't like them either. They re too clumpy and the heel is too high. I find heels more and more uncomfortable these days.

I love the cross over block heels on the same page, is that just me, and is it just because I had a pair like them many years ago?

I have just seen these which I think are nice. I do think you have to have nice toes to carry off a think strap like that. I know I wouldn#t get away with it.

I don't like them sorry op, but I'm not a fan generally of these type of sandal.

MrsShortfuse · 08/03/2014 15:49

I love those LaTrucha. I wonder if that's a proper adjustable buckle on the front though, or just for show.

Those are good too HappyGirl, and pleasantly surprised to see they are leather lined.

I don't like the Next or Gerbera ones as I do NOT like ankle straps. But that's cos I have wee stumpy legs.

The brown leather cross over block heels are OK & the leather flip flops are OK also - no so the colour block, sorry.

I like the Next ones, as I love ankle straps, but I prefer chunkier 70s-esque sandals.

No, don't like those Ravel ones either. Just not my style.

Well although I'm slim my legs aren't particularly small or nice and the Next ones are surprisingly flattering..

MrsPMT · 08/03/2014 17:33

Dont like the fat face ones OP, like the Ravel ones

and the quality of the Next ones won't be as good.
