Well I like - but I'm no follower to fashion. Nice price now too

redllamayellowllama · 03/04/2011 21:14

I like them very much, although the description on the website is deeply annoying.

olympialimpet · 03/04/2011 21:15

I know, the price is very tempting which makes me wonder if that's why I like them so much!

Which colour do you prefer - berry or blue?

Any other thoughts please Smile

They look a bit clunky and the wooden insole would be uncomfortable. So too unattractive to put up with the discomfort.

kisschase · 03/04/2011 21:46

Very nice - I prefer the berry to the blue Smile

I actually do like them which is a bit worrying as do think they are slightly frumpy-if that makes sense?. I think the berry are prettier but the blue more practical.FFS when did I start caring about practicality when it come to shoes!!.

septemberchild · 03/04/2011 21:47

I like them, especially the berry ones!

sancere · 03/04/2011 21:48

Funky. Like both colours, at that price, teat yourself to both Grin

Thanks for your responses

I do have some Fly wooden soles which are quite similar but higher and with a criss-cross toe. They are really comfortable so I'm not so worried about the comfort thing, however do not want to look frumpy!

Sancere, I had already thought of that - thanks for your permission!

am not a sandal lover but these do seem very nice

NanAstley · 04/04/2011 09:23

Nice! I'd have bought them but 4 is the only size that is not avaiable Hmm

olympialimpet · 04/04/2011 15:51

Well have ended up ordering them in both colours and hope to only keep one pair!

Depends what else you wear with them - if you wear frumpy clothes they will look frumpy otherwise they will look fab! prefer the blue

purepurple · 04/04/2011 16:04

Are you planning on stepping into a fairy tale then? Grin
I like them, not frumpy at all.

olympialimpet · 04/04/2011 17:16

Yes, the description is a bit suspect I agree
