These shoes - granny-ish or acceptable?

I want them in black...

Thank you

[Orangeanddemons]

Ugh....sorry😄

[MartinRohdesBellybuttonFluff]

Sorry Choughed they are seriously veering into granny or nun territory and black would push them over the edge.

I can see how they'd be really comfortable though (trying to not offend you).

[TheMasterMurderedMargarita]

My Granny would not wear those.

[Choughed]

Are these any better? Again in black.

If you are a nurse (for example) and need something practical with a covered toe for long shift work, I think they are fine.

Otherwise, no.

(Sorry for offending any stylish nurses )

[NisekoWhistler]

Er no and...no

[Buttwing]

Sweet Jesus no. Sorry.

[WhatDat]

It's a definite no from me

[Choughed]

say what you mean why don't you

My problem is I need size 3 which lots of brands don't make. And I need a strap because my feet are different sizes.

You have made me see sense. I have found these - any good?

[SueLawleyandNicholasWitchell]

No

[SueLawleyandNicholasWitchell]

New ones slightly worse than first

[MartinRohdesBellybuttonFluff]

Now you're veering towards the children's shoe dept, no from me, but if you like them that's all that matters.

[nattyknitter]

Depends what you want them for.

Hotter mostly do granny shoes, but they are bloody comfortable and last for ages. If they were for work and you stand/walk a lot then I would say definitely get them.

[Choughed]

I can't win with you lot!

Have you tired camper shoes?

They are kind of ugly but edgy and unbelievably comfortable

[Byrdie]

Why do you need a strap? Just because your feet are different sizes or for other reasons? Clarks do an odd size service (for adults as well as kids i think) and although it's a bit more, you can then go for decent looking shoes (ok, if you can find some in clarks!) maybe a nice ballerina?

[Tryingtobenicexxx]

Oh god no.
Those are bad..[flowers

[Tryingtobenicexxx]

How old are you if you don't mind me asking?
My nana is 85 and she has a similar pair.
I'm sure you could find something better..but if you like them go for it.
It's you whose wearing them.

[HeadDreamer]

byrdie I need a strap too for pumps because I git narrow feet. It isn't that unusual. I get away with just not wearing pumps! It's either boots or closed shoes like brogues for me.

[Madbengalmum]

God no, they are great granny shoes!

[passthewineplz]

How about these?

[Cass168]

You obviously really like them so go for it. Or at least try them in a shop to see what they actually look like on rather than ordering online. With trousers they'd probably be fine :-)

[Cass168]

No, they're not hugely fashionable but does that matter?

[Byrdie]

I would still give the clarks odd size service a go as they will have separate widths in shoes too - especially as you're a size 3. Going in and getting measured, trying on a few shoes in different sizes and widths may help give you a bit more choice. And presumably be a bit more comfortable!
