Oh thank goodness it's not just me! They remind me of the queen for some reason........ I was thinking maybe you wear them under trousers but then saw the pic at the bottom. I'm so confused by them, can't stop looking at them!

I'm looking forward to the sock sandals, they must be the next thing right?

It puts the lotion on its skin or it gets the hose again.

I knew it would be these! I saw them when I was browsing fur boots recently, and had exactly the same reaction, DH too!

paia · 07/10/2017 22:34

These are horrible! Why oh why...

shushpenfold · 07/10/2017 22:35

Hannibal Lecter would love them.

FenceSitter01 · 07/10/2017 22:36

They are much cheaper in Matalan, and nicer in black!

CountFosco · 07/10/2017 22:37

They are nude sock boots. Very fashionable and all over the high street. You could have chosen something much worse!

ALemonyPea · 07/10/2017 22:38

Reminds of these boots I once saw in a charity shop window.

AllToadsLeadToHome · 07/10/2017 22:43

There used to be white ones like those in the 60's / 70's but the tops were made of wrinkly thin plastic stuff. Maybe someone else remembers them?

Blurgh! They made me feel sick! Like my brain could only see human ankles!

ShowMePotatoSalad · 07/10/2017 22:46

They're in fashion because of the Yeezy sock boots (Kanye West's very expensive fashion label sported by the Kardashians).

But I wouldn't wear them in a month of Sundays. The Yeezy ones actually have some shape. The Next ones are frankly bizarre!

cherish123 · 07/10/2017 22:46

Hideous!

LookMaAStone · 07/10/2017 22:46

Right so I'm clearly not up on the latest trends, but if I went out tomorrow in a skirt, socks and court shoes that'd be wrong right?

JaneEyre70 · 07/10/2017 22:47

Makes me glad to not be worried about being fashionable anymore frankly. Comfort all the way now I'm over 40 Grin it's very liberating tbh.

DJBaggySmalls · 07/10/2017 23:04

Why do all the shoes look like they have spats? I saw some two tone brogues online yesterday but was too horrified to save them.

Itsanicehotel · 07/10/2017 23:04

They look like prosthetics for amputees. If they were I'd think what a clever idea. As it is I'm just thinking 'why'.

QuizteamBleakley · 07/10/2017 23:05

Still, at least they're not as bad as these fuckers. Even at £20, you'd feel robbed. I'd need to be paid a lot of money to wear these "beauts".

RosyPinkHugh · 07/10/2017 23:10

Legs in shoes! Awful OP Shock

QuizteamBleakley · 07/10/2017 23:11

The Yeezy sock boot is out of stock at Selfridges but you could always pop along to your local pharmacy for an American tan Tubigrip. Just saved you ££££.

DJBaggySmalls · 07/10/2017 23:14

QuizteamBleakley the fact they are peep toe is the final insult.
