Are my vintage tapestry shoes that bad?

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.

Just realised they match my hearth stool. I actually like them

Wow, seeing this gave me a jolt. My grandma had these as slippers when I was little.

I remember trying them on at Christmas. She loved Marks'.

I actually love them! With skinny black jeans and an oversized shacket I think they’d look great worn out. But I’m also quite old-lady-ish in my tastes Grin

They're definitely slippers. My Grandma always wore St Michael slippers, always with a little heel (they're supportive for arthritic feet).
My grandmother wore these too!

Horrid. Sorry, but you did ask. They could be slightly better if the banding around the edge on your foot - whatever you call it - was different and not beige. Can't see what the heel looks like. Yeah they look like house shoes/slippers.

OP, I'm all for vintage shoes and tapestry but I'm pretty sure these are slippers, my nan used to have a pair just like them.

I love the pattern/ fabric but the shape says slipper to me. Either way, your feet your choice!

@LauraSaidIShouldBeNicer

The inside are like slippers but they have a small 1 inch type heel.
They're still slippers

Disappointed that the OP didn't indulge my request by modelling them with various outfits

valerianroot · 01/11/2021 15:47

I really like them, I'm quite prone to granny chic

I had 2 tapestry bags from M&S in the 80s one was a doctor's bag I used as a handbag and the other a slightly bigger barrel bag (pretty sure I still have it somewhere).I was courted by a Japanese gentleman who treated me to a weekend in London and I took my tapestry duo, felt a bit scruffy in Trader Vic's and Stringfellows tbh but the soundtrack of that weekend was Al Jerreau L is for lover including the moonlighting theme so that dates them!

Here are the offenders
Oh they bring back memories. My mum used to wear these slippers, I used to get in trouble for stomping about the house in them.
