My teen boys think so Grin

They are very comfortable and cool and I'm more than happy to wear them, but are they alone with their opinion?

They're not exactly frumpy, but that style is favoured by the over-60s coach tripper. I'm guessing you're not wearing them for formal events and funerals though, and they do look very comfortable, so please yourself.

I have to agree with your kids, sorry.

By the way, I bumped into my friend, who's in her 40s, and her mum last week. My friend apologised to me for her mum's socks 'n' Crocs. Parents will never cease to be embarrassing Grin

Pretty ugly I'm afraid, although I did see a lot of people wearing them on holiday....

I love shoes, I have loads of really lovely non frumpy ones but I have been known to buy shoes that people raise their eyebrows at.

They are all bendy and airy!

They are fab!! They have gone over to The Ugly Side that have reappeared on the Really Very Cool Side - they just need some sleb to endorse them.
I want a pair Grin

In fact I fingered a green/blue pair v similar to those on a Spanish market recently

OMG - I've just clicked on the other colour option Shock - they look like they've been woven from an assortment of shop carrier bags
