Fab or drab? Boden plimsols

[TheyCallMeKipper]

These are the offending items

In navy. I've bought them because the summer ones were so comfy for running about with toddler. But these are patent and a wole different beast. My husband hates them, and, as I haven't worn them yet, I could send them back - have I made an awful fashion faux-pas?

So are they going back?

[TheyCallMeKipper]

Opps whole not wole.

Not keen on the patent. They are neither fab nor drab but just ordinary looking.

i don't like them much. sorry. my sister has bought lovely leather converses which are the only shoes that fit her comfortably (allegedly)

[OneHandFlapping]

I bought these and DS1 (17) said thaye were cool shoes. Which is good enough for me.

Jigsaw also have some truly lush velvet ones, but I couldn't justify those as well.

Send them back -- not worth having a rift over an ordinary pair of shoes.

[glitch]

The patent is all wrong, send them back.

[onefatcat]

I love those Jigsaw ones!!!

[KateShmate]

NOO - keep them! I LOVE them!!
Might even order a pair for myself, quite like either the grey or the purple..
Wouldnt bother me if husband didnt like my shoes - to be honest he rolls his eyes at every new pair of shoes, but I simply say that its me wearing them, not him!

Converse are the best, why accept a poor imitation?

[TheyCallMeKipper]

Thanks for the replies. I'm cheered that not everyone thinks they are hideous . 'm not especially bothered Dh doesn't like them, but I did wonder if I'd completely lost the plot with them.

OneHandFlapping I really like those. We don't have a jigsaw here so tends to be off my radar; I must look at their website more.

They are comfortable, and I got 15% off and £10 off so they were cheap which was initially the main reason I went for them. I think I'm going to keep them.

[dexter73]

Only one person likes them and 5 don't!!

[WillPenn]

I like them and have them myself. They are much more comfortable than Converse, which always hurt my feet, and I think they look quite smart. And my DH likes them....The colour scheme also goes with a lot of stuff.

So keep them!

[TheyCallMeKipper]

dexter73 I guess we see what we want to!

I usually buy a couple of pairs of Boden plimsolls every season and virtually live in them, but have given the patent ones a wide berth this season.

[polyhymnia]

I also usually buy one or two pairs a year. I particularly like my pewter ones - a dull pewter, not too shiny - but don't personally fancy the patent. Seems a slightly odd combination. But if you like them enjoy them.

I've got the black/white dalmation spot and I love them!

There is 30% off on these as Catch of the Day today - the spotty ones, which I think look cute, as well as the patents.
