I used to wear similar style as a kid. I'd still wear them now but then I don't much mind what people think as long as I feel happy.

Eustasiavye · 17/05/2019 19:25

If they are comfy then why not?
I love the second pair, are they comfy?
I can't understand anyone buying flat shoes which hurt them. High stilettos which look great then yes I can forfeit comfort.

yellowellies · 17/05/2019 19:25

I love them!
I have a pair of patent burgundy shoes similar to those, have had them for 10 years and wear them all the time- with skinny jeans and long sleeve shirt ( like today) or black tights and short ish dress

FlaviaAlbia · 17/05/2019 19:25

I love both those pairs.

I was thinking today I need to get something for summer now it's getting too warm for my DM's all the time so I'm glad I saw this thread Grin

UnderTheSeaWithMe · 17/05/2019 19:26

When I was 5 I had a pair in red in the 80's. Grin

FlaviaAlbia · 17/05/2019 19:27

Oh and if you like those styles, try El Naturalista too Grin

RedLemon · 17/05/2019 19:28

Oooh they remind me of the shoe from Roger Rabbit!!

Not a thing of beauty, are they?

SpeckofStardust · 17/05/2019 19:34

They're very appealing in a very fugly kind of way, trouble is they really only can be worn by young women because while they look like they're supposed to be worn by my age demographic (advanced middle-age) I and many of my peers wouldn't be seen dead in them because we'd just look like frumps rather than edgy and stylish.

KooMoo · 17/05/2019 19:34

I love them. I have some similar Grin

NurseButtercup · 17/05/2019 19:34

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?

Other outfits I imagined are dungarees, pinafore dress or corduroy trousers (different lengths/leg widths).

I've recently decided to give up high heels so I'm flats all day every day. I take my flat shoes inspiration from:

Paleninteresting · 17/05/2019 19:36

They are both wonderful. You belong in our office OP, they are shoe heaven to us. (Mid 40s, free thinking types)

ValiaH · 17/05/2019 19:37

I love them. I tried them on in a different colour last year, but I have wide toes and skinny ankles so they flopped around and didn't fit properly! I am in my early 30s for context. I also like the fly london ones!

Leftielefterson · 17/05/2019 19:39

Apparently OP ugly sandals are in this summer in a big way so you’re actually a fashionista!

ObvsItsNotMe · 17/05/2019 19:39

I do not knowingly own any corduroy of any width. I do however own a necklace that says "weirdo" (hand stamped mind you, it's artisanal you know). Does that redeem me any? Grin

They are like retro primary school shoes sorry

Yup I had a pair of those when I was 6. They had crepe soles.

formerbabe · 17/05/2019 19:42

If it were a straight choice between wearing them or amputating my own feet, I'd go for the latter.

ControversialFerret · 17/05/2019 19:44

I love them. But then I like really practical flat shoes which are interesting colours. I also like a round toe.

FuriousVexation · 17/05/2019 19:44

They are minging. Sorry.

justasking111 · 17/05/2019 19:46

I wore something like these at school. Now you need white ankle socks.

elsabadogigante · 17/05/2019 19:47

Those are horrible.

Unicornshopkeeper · 17/05/2019 19:47

I have a similar pair of DMs in black. Not sure if wear orange but dark tan is nice

NCforthis2019 · 17/05/2019 19:47

👨‍🎤 errrrrr. Ok

WinniePig · 17/05/2019 19:48

My DM made me wear similar shoes to school. I wanted a pretty pair from Clerks with a magic key in the heel 😩 But...thirty years later...I kinda like them!

VittysCardigan · 17/05/2019 19:48

Love them OP
