Clarks also have them in white (was tempted) and pale pink, as well as dark brown.

Thanks Usual, he's now doing karate for goodness sake.

Fuck me no, they are a crime against shoes.

Oh - I was debating these as well...also simple, but a bit more up to date.

I do not like those shoes, or that price for said shoes.

However i love your user name and have a mother called Joyce. It made me snigger

Nay from me.

I can think of a couple of young ironic dressers round here who could probably carry them off (but probably wouldn't if they had the choice).

What is it with Clarks?

I wore those sandals every summer as a child and would wear them again because I know that they would be comfortable and not give me blisters like every other bloody pair of sandals I've ever bought.

But then I've just bought a pair of Clarks Mary Jane shoes for work that look like a cross between little girl and granny shoes. Even dd who flatters me on every occasion said they were boring! I don't care as they meet my main criteria of not hurting my feet.

Aww Jesus sandals! I wore those at First School! Are you going to a 70s do?

I'm with Pictish and Tufty and am going to get me a pair. Off to the Clarks website now. So there.

Thank you, OP.

a bit naff, if you want something comfy then I tried these on and they are dreamy, plus, less naff in real life:

Minging.

You could get something much prettier for £50.

Maybe. So long as you have pretty feet.

I have just had hoorible flashbacks to the seventies, when I was forced to wear them as nothing else fit my big feet.
I would rather go barefoot and step in dog poo than wear them.

Jesus sandals! Only the God Squad wore these at uni in the mid seventies (with beige socks of course). They were NEVER cool!

I have been wearing mine all day....they are so comfy and gorgeous!

Primark £12. soft leather, dark red or dark and light brown. They look the same to me.

Ladyword, Clarks are doing those sandals you posted again this year - here.

haha, thanks everyone, the brutally honest helpful posts are confirming its a no...

sadly, I am not an uber-hip person to be able to carry off the look in a trendy fashion. Pah.

They are really awful.

I have then in the dark brown. They'll look marvo with my rolled up skinnies , you bunch of buggers.

Mental maiden aunt

Yuk, sorry op but not for me.
