They're ace

I do love a chunky utilitarian shoe. No no whiffs. Did many moons ago but turned out I had athletes foot. My feet are a size 6 therefore I may be in full clown mode as opposed to hoped for nerdy cool. Grayson Perry I have a lot of time for so if he approves..

I don't like them at all. Sorry!

But if your channelling the 40-something, blue haired, vegan from Brighton you're spot on Grin

DS has these in navy for his first ever shoes......age 1 😁

Happynow001 · 17/05/2019 18:51

Just been on the website and registered for the newsletter. Thinking of buying a pair.

CuriousaboutSamphire · 17/05/2019 18:52

Oh! I worked out where Schuh moved to... Yay!!!!!!

bridgetreilly · 17/05/2019 18:53

I've been looking for something like this for ages, OP, thank you!

Loyaultemelie · 17/05/2019 18:54

I like the orange but I want neeeed the red ones

TheAssemblywomen · 17/05/2019 18:54

They look very comfy...off to Google...

ObvsItsNotMe · 17/05/2019 18:55

49 year old grey haired full on carnivore, never been to Brighton but did enjoy "Brighton Rock" by Grahame Green (has to be the black and white version though). I'd love to be fleabag.. is that a compliment? Grin (Never watched it)

Fucking disgusting was the first thought that came to my mind too! Sorry Op, they are awful - even on a toddler, which is the only people they should be sold for

DontDribbleOnTheCarpet · 17/05/2019 18:58

I love them, they look so comfortable!

Mythreefavouritethings · 17/05/2019 18:59

What was his style like?

Grumpasaurus · 17/05/2019 19:00

They are hideous as are the fly London pair... sorry. They are ageing and scream "I like comfort over style"...

Mythreefavouritethings · 17/05/2019 19:00

As someone who spends the corking week propped up by a good few inches courtesy of heels, these look wonderful.

Mythreefavouritethings · 17/05/2019 19:00

Working. Corking???

OneStepSideways · 17/05/2019 19:01

They are hideous, like wearing baked beans on your feet!

MsPeachh · 17/05/2019 19:02

Reminds me of my art teacher Grin

PinkiOcelot · 17/05/2019 19:03

I think the bloke was right tbh. You actually paid money for them?!!

RottnestFerry · 17/05/2019 19:03

They remind me of the Startrite sandals I had as a child.

ObvsItsNotMe · 17/05/2019 19:03

mythreefavouritethings He was either drunk or high, so whatever his style was (I didn't notice) it wasn't looking great on him.

To be fair ( ref:old age and comfort) I'd still wear them if I was 18.. I just like that whole sort of thing. Like I said, no hope Grin

Do they come in red? I have fond memories of Clark’s sandals as a child. It was a good summer if I got red ones.
