2nd pair if you have to, not keen, look like something i would put fruit in

Sorry OP (good name btw ) they are awful. Both of them. Equal in ghastliness.

I had something similar in white, in the mid 1980s. I thought they were fantastic!

Second pair...at a push.

Ones with toe.

Oh my lord, I had those exact shoes in 1986! The second ones are the best

After seeing some hideous strawberry shoes on another thread I was bracing myself when opening your link... I don't like the first ones but the second ones are nice.

I had a pink ra ra skirt in the mid eighties Cattle which I thought was fab. That does NOT make these shoes OK.

I like these less than the strawberry shockers. At least they had a bit of va va voom. Probably a bit too much va va voom tbh.

Haha... The strawberries were quite something. I really think the second pair can be nice with a cool pair of trousers. Go for it MrsM

I really like both, but go with the 'with toe' version. I've seen two very trendy young things wearing these recently (the Dune ones) and have been tempted myself...

Well I've been looking for a pair of tan ballet flats and really like the second pair, then noticed the first pair, but think will stick with the closed toe ones.

I want them to go with my skinny jeans and navy chinos. They do come in white and do look very 80s in the white but I love them in the tan.
