To be offended that THIS appeared in a thread?

[Mumsymumphy]

I was innocently sat reading a thread when this horrific advert image appeared and burned itself into my retinas.

AIBU to be offended?

Or is it that, as a 44 year old, I am just ignorant of fashion trends, and that this socks n sandals combo is actually 'well peng' or something?

That photo makes me feel a bit ill 😂

YANBU that is bloody awful.

I thought exactly the same when it popped up yesterday.

It's a child sized foot... With an adult's tattoo... With the socks and sandals of an OAP.
Damn.

That made me properly laugh 😂

I had one with a woman wearing sandals with the worst fake tan tide marks I have ever seen
And her second toe was bigger than her big toe
And she had bunions which pushed her toes into odd angles
Not a great advert for footwear

Only if it's your exact shoe size

fabulous! I've been searching for some sandals for upcoming holiday and these will really make me blend in amongst the multiple Germans on the beach 😂😂

To the RHS I've had women with their backs to me, naked above the waist wearing only some incredibly short denim shorts.

At the top of the page I keep getting the prim looking young woman with the see through top and large nipples.

I have no idea what that means I have been looking at or posting, but I wish it would stop!

Christ on a bike

YANBU. The only thing worse would be if my DH was wearing those and he didn't have the socks on.

Um.... my first thought was surgical support sandals!!!

That really made me laugh! They look a bit like the sandals made to go on over bandages and casts...

You know you can get socks that have the pattern of a open toed sandal printed on them?

I got them for my dad for his birthday, as a joke.

I saw him at Easter. Wearing them. With his sandals. We were out in public too. Arse

'young soles'? More like arse'oles.

OMG that's given me a flashback to my 1970s convent junior school. We Had to wear those horrible beige long socks and we had Jesus sandals in the summer.

(Goes to lie down to recover).

Clutching at straws here but could they be gender neutral shoes and socks? Probably bang on trend

Jesus creepers were never trendy - especially with socks. What is happening to the world??!!!

We have sliders and white socks round here. You would have never in a billion years said that was a good look but perfectly acceptable now.

Along with fluffy flat sliders that look absolutely wrong with any outfit from PJ’s to jeans, which is unheard off.

The incongruous ship tattoo adds to the comedy.

Laughing at your "well peng"

trigger warning

this is a trend (again? was it ever a TREND before?)

There was a thread about these kind of sandals a few years back on MN - I posted that I'd had some as a child, and got a whole lot of PM's from a weirdo foot fetishist - just saying, be careful there are some creepy sandal lovers out there

I think that look is amazing. The only reason I don't wear that is because everyone will take the piss and I'm not cool enough x

Is it ironic?

What?
