Oddly, I do think they are hideous, but at the same time I would definitely wear them

TigerFeet · 30/08/2007 10:49

I quite like them, I like clumpy shoes. They will look fab with slouchy jeans

Sorry but I don't really like them either....

alibubbles · 30/08/2007 13:40

My son would say the say the same!

( But do we listen to them?)

Jazzicatz · 30/08/2007 13:41

Any lentilweaver would be proud of those

Desiderata · 30/08/2007 13:42

They're OK if accompanied by a large, winged hat, a long black dress with a blue and white striped apron, whilst singing 'A mouse lived in a windmill' in a market stall at Volendam ....

Slubberdegullion · 30/08/2007 13:45

Chumfy.

Perfectly acceptable for baking in and nipping outside to get the milk in.

Probably wouldn't go to church in them.

Hurlyburly · 30/08/2007 13:47

at Desi. I must admit I googled Dutch Doll and thought of posting a picture of one ...

I kind of like them

But then I like FatFace and their stuff usually compliments each other in a lot of ways - wouldn't wear them with a skirt or dress, but slouchy jeans and a tee, yes.

actually, i just looked at them again for a second opinion, and no, I wouldn't wear them, and they are a bit, ummmm 'not my style'
