I just bought these today.. is there no hope for me style wise? 😂

[ObvsItsNotMe]

They guy sitting next to me in Schuh said to his partner they were "f*ing disgusting" .. .

Nostalgic memories perhaps?

Totally. They are the shoes that kids our age wore as our first school shoes but we had them in navy or black. Buying them in a bright colour doesn’t make them fashionable - sorry- I live in comfy flats but think these are hideous in a grown up.

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

Not keen on adults in kids' giant shoes.

i like them but i had DMs quite like them 20 years ago. and my views have to be measured against the fact that one of my pairs of shoes was described as DH and DD as "fugly", "like mister men shoes" and "beyond comprehension" so not sure my endorsement really helps

They're like a wee girl's shoes! I bet you have a big, thick fringe cut too short, and big glasses

They look comfy and if that's the case then why worry? Though I have to admit that they remind me of some sandals I wore when I was about 11 - and desperately wanted something more grown-up. They must be better for your feet than ridiculous stiletto heels which cripple you. And a big plus - you could run for the bus in them if necessary.

I bought a similar pair in navy by red or dead last year but have never gotten up the courage to actually wear them. It doesn’t help that I have a 5 year old DD and she has similar shoes.Also I should maybe have sized down as they are very wide.

What are you going to wear them with?

I love them & would definitely wear them. Rude guy in shop probably bullies his partner into wearing horribly uncomfortable heels.

I have many pairs of these, OP, in different colours. A few years back they did them in purple and I wore them to death. They're the comfiest shoes I have ever worn.

I like them .

I’ve got quite small feet though so they’d probably look ok-maybe less so in a size 8!

Oh dear - total marmite!!

They're awful IMO and the Fly ones are a bit better but still chunky and not very attractive tbh 😳

I think they're nice, although I wouldn't wear them personally as I have very short legs and I think they'd probably make me look even stumpier!

Oh God sorry they really are awful. Pretty sure I had them in the 80s. Why?!?😂

I've got loads of Red or Dead shoes in similar styles. I never even though about it, I just like them.

No fringe and no glasses - pixie cut and 20 20 vision! I'll either wear them with black skinnies stripy top and long cardi (greys and blacks) or grey or navy linen dress, leggings and cardi and some kind of "quirky" necklace. God yes, I am actually an art teacher aren't I?

I’d look ridiculous in them, but I do t have. A strong sense of style! I know people who would look cool because it would fit their particular geek chic look.

My shoes scream comfort over style - why is that a problem? I have no intention of forcing myself into elegant devices of torture unless for a formal occasion such as a wedding - and even then I'll have a comfortable alternate pair with me for dancing. I mean, have you tried doing a ceilidh in stilettos?

The red ones are far less offensive

God yes, I am actually an art teacher aren't I? hahahahaaaa, yep! But I'm sure you own the look with confidence

I like them, although have size eight feet and couldn't pull them off....style wise. Don't want to pull off my feet .

That said this I bet you have a big, thick fringe cut too short, and big glasses is me without the glasses so perhaps that explains it!!

Although I'd rather lose my trotters than wear those particular shoes I do like seeing people with a strong sense of no fucks given personal style.

I love them I love red and dead shoes.. I wear Allegria Paloma though :)

Oh god, sorry op but I love them and just ordered a pair. The apology is because I'm 68.
Sorry. (I've had purple and blue hair recently too - embarassed the DC no end).

Those shoes need to be taken outside and shot. It would be a mercy.

I couldn’t pull them off. You have to have a lot of style to get away with those.

Yeah, brings back memories of primary school! Which in turn brought on a flashback to jelly sandals, anyone on here remember them? (Do you have a pair of them too OP )
