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.

M&S have recently revived the St Michael label as a nod to their past when M&S could be trusted to sell massive pants that would see you into your twilight years, Crimplene™️ frocks and chicest of chic tapestry slippers, sorry, shoes. So you are clearly ahead of the curve @LauraSaidIShouldBeNicer

If you like 'em, wear 'em! If you're into vintage Marks and Sparks I recommend the Twitter account @MandSHeritage they explained how to use the code mentioned earlier to date an item too!

LOL they are slippers not shoes !

They are the most slipperiest slippers ive ever seen. If you wear them outdoors, people will assume you've been let out for the day; there's nothing wrong in that, but you might want to be aware.

omg .

I imagine them worn with tan pop socks

St Michael being referred to as vintage has made me feel really old!
They're horrible, sorry.

Eww no I don't like them at all.

I don't care if they are slippers, at least they are foot-shaped - not always a given in the footwear department.

They look rather dainty and have a fairytale quality to them.

But if you decide you don't like them, at least leave one of them on the steps of a castle and see if you can rustle up a prince for yourself.

They have a hard sole so okay for out and about..... These bad boys are off out onto the school run next week

And the pop socks with a nice quilted dressing gown and a hairnet!

I'm sorry but they are very Nora Baty. If you like them and you can make them work go for it.

I like the heeled tapestry shoes posted up thread.

I am loving your chutzpah OP. You go out and own those vintage tapestry shoes!

Oh my. I look forward to hearing how they went down on the playground

How much did you pay out of interest?

I bet you can make them work.
I think the most stylish people break the rules.

You must be young, that was a really popular slipper of the 80s! Tapestry is ‘in’ isn’t it. I think you can get away with them but I doubt they’ll last 2 minutes if you wear them for walking outside, especially if they get wet. Slippers aren’t going to be made in the same way as shoes and they’re probably 30/40 years old!

I had some tapestry ballet flats from Zara; bought them in Greece in 2012. They had a black background and a more classic low front than yours, but similar in pattern. I loved them and wore them mostly with jeans, cigarette pants, or short shirts. My only concern with yours is that they may not be very durable, but hey - everything wears out eventually.

Yes. Yes, they are.

I think they are awful. But, as long as you like them, that’s all that matters.

I remember those slippers.

Classic 1980’s/1990’s Granny slippers. You could get loads of matching stuff. Bubble bath etc.

They were £1...... I have just turned 30 so suppose they aren't as vintage as I imagined but hey I thought they were shoes haha!.... Well they are now

Well, at least you'll fit in with the slipper-wearing gang at the school gates.

They are pretty hideous though.

Those pippas will not survive the school run in November. No way .

Yes they are classed as "Vintage" these days (which depresses me no end!)
Yes they are tapestry
No they are not shoes and if I saw you on the school run in them I would wonder why on earth you had to borrow your grannys slippers to pick the kids up.
Also....they are fugly!

Let's put em to the test. Kids back next wed will wear them each school run and any shopping ect I do my walk there and back in a mile
