Is this the most boring sandal you've ever seen?

here

I just want something comfy for my hols. Not too high. Not too flat.

I just look at these and think "is that it?"

What do you people think?

They're okay I think. I like the buckle.

MaryMotherOfCheeses · 26/04/2011 17:21

And they're cheap.

Which is always good.

But they're making me want to go to sleep.

Fly London do some a bit like that iirc - slightly more exciting jaggedy sole

HouseOfBamboo · 26/04/2011 17:26

But prob more £££

usualsuspect · 26/04/2011 17:28

I like them [old and boring]

MaryMotherOfCheeses · 26/04/2011 17:31

Ah, yes, Fly very lovely but will be £££.

I need three new pairs of shoes at the mo, so can't afford Fly. Have never bought shoes from Next before.

You know what, I like them.

I don't think they say much really. They don't look granny-ish for comfort, but neither do they look like you're bother with high fashion.

Buy 'em and see if they're comfy

TethersEnd · 26/04/2011 18:01

I like them. I am shocked, but I do really like them.

SingingTunelessly · 26/04/2011 18:04

I've got some very similar (if not the same - can't remember where I got them from. Agree with Stayfrosty I found them uncomfortable tbh.

80sMum · 26/04/2011 18:05

Doesn't look very comfy. You wouldn't be able to walk very far in them, I think. I guess it depends what you want them for.

I quite like them, probably because they are a bit Fly-esque and I love their stuff.

Mudwiggle · 26/04/2011 22:19

I had some in black rather than tan, they've just done to the charity shop cos I found them uncomfortable and like you thought they were dull. However every time I wore them I got compliments on them and they went with pretty much anything.

cyb · 26/04/2011 22:21

I dont think they are boring. I like them

cheesesarnie · 26/04/2011 22:27

i like them too.am looking for similar but after everyone saying theyre uncomfortable,maybe not themGrin

Meggles76 · 26/04/2011 22:29

I had a pair from next last year and found that the soles wore out really fast. The quality is def nowhere near Birkenstocks

Jonnyfan · 26/04/2011 22:30

I like them, and tan goes with pretty much anything, and looks good on tanned feet!

puffling · 26/04/2011 22:32

You only live once. Get something nicer. If you must have comfort got to TKMaxx for reduced price Birkenstocks.

I've got a thing against the brand Fly.They make dullness acceptable by making it appear quirky. Apologies if that sounds a bit nutty.
