Please help me! I'm being so indecisive about sandals. What do you think of these?

I tired these on the other day and I think they look better irl - the colour is much deeper and rich. Do you think they would go with skinnies and dresses?

I mean it 'tried' them on but I am also 'tired' of looking for sandals!

They are lovely, think will go well with Jeans/trousers and probably maxi skirts/dresses. Not so sure about short dresses??

Thank you Smile

I have found them on Very for £35.00 which makes them pretty reasonable too.

Oh phew, I'm so glad others like them too. I think i've lost the ability to distinguish between frumpy and nice.

I think they are lovely but will only stay looking lovely once on if you have slim ankles/legs.

I think the anklestrap is very unforgiving looking, and too thick

why woudl you want to make your legs look shorter?

I agree about the cankles. I have very skinny ankles,but even I would shy away from those.
Sorry.

I don't like ankle straps with skinny jeans - sorry.

I think the ankle straps are too thick and the shoes generally not horrible, but not exciting either.

She might have long skinny legs like me {and fish and alexa chung]

There is no way I could wrap a fat band around my ankles, long skinny legs I have no experience of [sigh] so maybe they will work for you.

I think they're very nice but will need you to have delicate ankles and skinny legs.

I tried those on yesterday. I love them.

I don't have very skinny or long legs, my ankles are not too bad.

I have bought them and they look good I think. I was worried about the strap cutting my legs short but they don't seem to. I just need to try them on with some different things to really decide.

They're clumpy - and if you have delicate/slim ankles they won't show them off, will just look weird. Delicate frame = pretty, delicate styles.

I don't have a slim delicate frame and do tend to go for sandals that are bit more 'chunky' otherwise they feel too delicate for me.

I think they're nice. But I think a few sandals in Clarks this season are nice, which puts me in the minority on here!

if you have loong slim legs then they'll look nice

you're right OP they look a lot better in RL. Saw a woman wearing them in Waitrose today with a just below knee length skirt and they looked great. She did have very skinny ankles! Wish I did.
