You know those granny glove shoes??

[Ididnthearanything]

Like these from Zara?? Top shop, office, h and m have them.

What do we all think? I am unashamedly on the fence. Love the heel height, An a bit about the style of shoe.

Opinions?

old gunner??? Old gimmer, more like.

I think they are pretty awful. The sort of thing you will look back on next year and wonder why on earth you were hoodwinked into wearing them!

[Ididnthearanything]

Topshop have them in a few colours. They have a nice grey pair.
Are they the cropped flares of shoes? I kind of like the shoes but maybe that's because I see them everywhere. Initially (months ago) I thought they were hideous. Now they're growing on me.

The link doesn't work for me on my phone, do you have a pic?

[CointreauVersial]

They do look somewhat frumpy to me BUT I would love it if that style of shoe does come back in, because if you have wide buniony feet like me they are so comfy!

The fashion for low-cut ballet flats was a disaster - I've lost count of the number of shoes I've tried on where the top of the shoe cuts straight across the joint of my big toe. These come up nice and high on the foot.

I just need to stop thinking about Great Aunt Edna when I look at them, particularly the beige ones

[73dexter]

This sort of shoe.

[GoofyIsACow]

Thankyou Dexter... Wow... I am astounded! They are truly terrible!

[Ididnthearanything]

These are the Topshop ones

[IDismyname]

I think those shoes were featured in the Sunday Times Style section last weekend. They're being touted as 'Ballet flats with heels'.

I like the look of them, but don't know how they'll look on me

[IHaveBrilloHair]

Dear fucking god they are hideous.

[Ididnthearanything]

X post.

Am I being hoodwinked?

[IHaveBrilloHair]

Sunday Times style section?
Do you mean the back page of My Weekly?

[Ididnthearanything]

Gold from topshop

[Ididnthearanything]

Office do them too

They are everywhere.

[73dexter]

The reason I said 'hoodwinked' is because I think they are the sort of shoe that you can end up buying because they are fashionable at the moment and places like Topshop & Zara are selling them, but a year ago if someone had linked to an identical pair from Hotter you wouldn't have even looked twice at them!

[GoofyIsACow]

No, step away, they are fucking awful

[Ididnthearanything]

The more you all say 'hideous', the more disappointed I am. I must not be on the fence after all. I must like them. Might scratch the itch and order the grey.

[PeaceLoveAndMincePies]

This 90s fashion revival has gone too far. Someone put a stop to it, immediately. I saw ski-pants for sale the other day. Ski-pants!

[srslylikeomg]

I like them! Very Celine. I like the COS ones I'm dove grey suede.

[srslylikeomg]

IN dove grey suede. I'm not dove grey

[FrustratedFrugal]

I will skip lots of fashion trends this summer. Granny shoes - nope. Open shoulder sweaters - no way. Cropped flares - not in my wildest dreams

She can't pull this off either:

[Ididnthearanything]

Ah! Someone likes them!

Cos have them? Can't see them on their website.

[LineyReborn]

Are they what used to be called 'court shoes' in the 70s/80s for sensible wear?

Anyway definitely fucking horrible.

[Wombatinabathhat]

They look baggy around the side of her foot

[Ididnthearanything]

I like that pic Frustrated
