Is this showing off?

[Essexexile]

I’m lucky enough to have several pairs of Louboutin shoes, mainly plain pumps, that I’ve had for several years. I hardly ever wear them, partly because I worry that it might be seen as me being flashy or showing off.
I was going to wear a pair last night when we went to a local gastropub (we rarely go anywhere posh and pricey), but changed my mind just before we left.
Should I just think it’s not showy off to wear them or just leave them in the wardrobe or, sell them as I wear them so rarely?

Why did you buy them if you're too embarrassed to wear them?

No. Its wearing your shoes. I wear my shoes all the time.

Wear them - shoes are made for wearing not sitting in a box!!!
I wouldn't think anything at all if l saw someone wearing them

Tbh no one would even notice plain pumps

Sell them if you don't or are too scared to wear them .

Showing off would be if you mentioned them during your night out unprompted

😂

Completely agree.

I have no idea what they look like so probably wouldn't even notice. It wouldn't occur to me someone might worry they're boasting by wearing them.

That's the point of the red sole, to let everyone know they're Louboutins. Why buy them if you feel self conscious wearing them.

Whats the point in having nice shoes if you dont wear them and who is really going to notice a pair of pumps

Sell them.

WTF? 😂😂

You can't seriously think wherever you go that A.) People are staring at your feet or B.) Anyone would even know what brand they are?

Catch yourself on 😅

Or sat with her feet on the table 😁

I know nothing about shoes so wouldn't notice.

I honestly dont give a shit what people have on their feet, as long as you take them off at my front door who gives a fuck?

Or posting on Mumsnet 😂

I wouldn't even notice
Just wear the shoes

IF I noticed you wearing them at the local pub (gastro or otherwise) I'd probably assume they were fake. Sorry!
if they were mine I'd keep them for places they'd be less likely to get trashed.

my feet are wincing though. They live in comfortable soft flat shoes

Not showy off at all. Hate to sound like a nob but Louboutins are very 00s. I certainly wouldn’t think you’d make anyone jealous wearing plain Loub pumps in 2022 to the pub. My 18yo niece loves them but I don’t know anyone over the age of 21 who would be that bothered by them now.

People who are familiar with them might notice in passing as all shoes have the red bottom. But you're massively over thinking this.

I wouldn't notice. My mum was here for an hour earlier and I've no i

*Idea what footwear she had on

I would absolutely love a pair so if you're a size 5 and selling them.. send them my way! And if I saw you wearing them I would just admire them from afar. Wear them.. life is too short.

This is exactly why I go out barefoot.

Wearing them isn’t showing off, telling everybody that’s what make they are is, and would make you sound a bit of an idiot but just wearing shoes is what they’re intended for.
