Please tell me what you think about these shoes

Here

Thought they'd be good for warmer days when my toenails are looking a bit tatty, or Spring days when I still need tights. The chunkiness would possibly offset my treetrunk ahem, not-quite-colt-like limbs.

I'm thinking 1970s mum-look - A line skirt, opaque coloured tights, slim top...

Whatcha think?

Oooh, I like!

They would look awful on me but I do like them. I'm too short so I think they would make me look 'stocky'

Lovely colour and a good price

inoffensive enough - someone was linking at 20% off clarks on here today in case you buy!

vile sorry.

I like them but I like crocs too

Hmmm... I don't like crocs

DurhamDurham (is that where you're from by the way? I'm from Newcastle, though I don't live there anymore): I'm 5'8, is that tall enough?

Maybe I'll order with the 20% discount & see what they're like.

Oh Yes 5.8" is tall enough!! I'm only 5.2.

I'm from Durham and live there now but did spend 20 years down south. Nice to be back

It's very much a personal thing. I'm afraid I think they are hideous, sorry.

Love the chunky sole and heel. Love the studs. And they are airy without having to expose your toes.

absolutely disgusting

fucking awful.

utterly fugly

Yeah, I understand they're probably a bit Marmite... My main concern is mumsiness though, especially as they're from Clarks. And I'm a mum. And old

DD: I've lived down south for over 25 years - eek! I do love it up north but I don't miss that cold wind straight off the North Sea brrrrrrr!

why aim for mumsiness? surely this is not a goal? like saying I want to look frumpy - not saying you are of course! Aim high girl!

No, no, I mean I'm worried they are mumsy, and I don't want them to be.

scamp my dh refers to Durham as the The North Pole, he says he has been cold since he got here three years ago

I think those are the summer shoes I've been searching for! I don't like to show my toes. But I really like these! I wish they were a bit cheaper, though... maybe wait for the sale.

maybe I'm mumsy?

Pretty awful

They strike me as hobbit shoes. Is that the look you were going for?

Ah soz DD - they are a) mumsy, b) frumpy, c) clumpy, d) plain nasty. I could go on but calls and i have run out of adjectives

A bit clumpy

On the plus side, they would burn cheerily, on t'fire.

Sorry but I hate them and think they're incredibly mumsy.

These (Clarks's) look frumpy - somehow too tame and dull - but I like Swedish Hasbeens (or their Torpatoffeln ripoffs). I'm also a bit worried about the head-to-toe 1970s look. Perhaps it would look great on a supermodel, but I'd look like a librarian, or, worse, like my mum circa 1974 .

I'm sort of aiming for the 1974 look

Don't worry, I'd temper it a bit!
