Are my vintage tapestry shoes that bad?

[LauraSaidIShouldBeNicer]

I was in the charity shop today and found these I absolutely love them think they are super cute. I know some might find them awful but are they that bad?

They are vintage St Micheals (is that marks and Spencer) and made in England. Haven't got a clue how old they are but they are unworn and we're a bargain.

I don't think they'll last very long if you're going to wear them out and about in all weathers.

They make my eyeballs sad.

That made me laugh.

OP, I think they’re cute, and I think if you want to wear them, wear them!!

I like them! My grandma used to have a set of luggage in that tapestry style. I think we should bring it back. Tapestry all round.

Definitely slippers

Think my mother had them, they do velvet ones with bows now, heel still there, but the design changed recently.
Slippers, don’t leave the house in them

Laura If the very same shoes had been bought from Hush for £139.95, it would be 'Oh, what gorgeous shoes, how divine and exquisite!'.

I would disagree Hush are overpriced and rubbish quality. And those slippers are still ugly.

Sorry I skimmed over heading and thought you meant tap shoes as I’d love a pair. Saw your photo of your slippers, not my cup of tea but better than the furry stiletto ones!

Tbh I think you can get away with them as quirky shoes, especially if you are already alternative in your dress style

Okay they don’t look as bad on as I was imagining.

Around 40/50 years ago my sis mother in law had slippers like those. Complete with little heel.
Sorry OP but, they are definitely slippers and extremely ugly ones at that.

I just can’t stop looking at them.

Not my taste, but if you like them...
if they're slippers, probably not too durable or suitable in bad/wet weather, but if you didn't pay a great deal for them - reuse, recycle...

They are old lady slippers. Everything had a heel in the 80s!
I live a bit of retro/vintage, but they just look dated and frumpy.

They'd go really nicely with a swollen ankle 😆

I love them but also think they are slippers.
If the sole is suitable you can wear them outside if you want to though.

Harsh. But you made me laugh

They are not hideous...tbey are cute...go for it.

I also agree that the camp is a touch too high, making it look frumpy.

Vamp!

I like them! I love a quirky shoe and a charity shop bargain so they are right up my street

I like them. I think they’d look good with skinny jeans/jeggings. (Waits for 😂 responses.)

With that piping I would say slippers. But it is absolutely about how you style them - I think you can pull them off. No one is going to look closely enough to spot the slipper element - they will be great!

Incidentally wearing a little heel isn't always vanity. I have flat feet and can't wear ballet shoes as if they limit the spread of your toes you need a raised heel. I can't wear flat sandles either. Which is a shame as they're pretty!

I had a hold-all made from that material from M & S that I bought in the 80's

@MorrisZapp did she then point him in the direction of the kettles?
