So comfy, but are they awful? I think they might be....

[GingerLemonTea]

I always end up wearing thin soled pumps & want something comfier, but need to know if these are ugly?

like walking on air

not so bad in pink or blue?

I like them. If they are comfortable its a big yes from me

They look really comfy! Not so bad-if you like them get them

i like them. but only in tan really.

I really don't like them at all, sorry

Oh dear God they are hideous. Just wrong.

Was thinking tan in the first link.
I think they might be wrong, but they felt amazing.

Any suggestions, doing lots of walking with the pram, mainly wear skinny jeans, occasionally leggings.

Perfectly acceptable.....................if you're in your 80s

Hideous.

No. Just no. Even I can spot the wrongness.

no no no! all you haterz got no swag (it felt all kinds of wrong typing that)

OP these shoes were all over the place last year decorating the feet of pretty young things in trendy shops all over the country. they are still 'in' and you wont look 80! you can wear them with skinny or straight leg jeans or (dare i say it?) chinos.

My neighbour wears the first pair you linked to...she's 82! Sorry!

I'm afraid that if I was doing a lot of walking comfort takes precedence over style. I spent the last couple of weeks scouring the shops for comfortable ballet flats and came to the conclusion that they are OK as long as I don't want to do much walking.

I like those shoes and don't think they are just for old ladies.

hummmm Im starting to see why m&s clothing line is going down the pan

I like the leather ones - go for it!
You will not look 80 as you don't see that many octogenerians with skinny jeans .

Not my thing, but get them if you like them OP. The world could do with more colour and it good to feel comfy. Maybe you can pull them off.

Good grief no! They are dreadful.

YY to Bunbaker, if you are going to use them, walking in them and feel good, do it. You don't want to be the same as everyone else anyway.

i had a similar pair (although they didn't look as comfy) in tan last year and i'm 26. i promise you i didn't look old fashioned or mismatched. my cousin is 19 and the most fashion conscious person i know and she had a pair.

ballet pumps are not for walking in. i cant even walk down town in mine (5-10 minute walk) as it feels almost like walking in bare feet.

i mean my pair weren't as comfy as yours look.

In pink & blue, they look like slippers.

Sorry.

My very trendy hairdresser told me on Saturday how she ruined her feet by wearing ballet flats on hard (tiled) flooring for long hours at work. She is 35 and sees her podiatrist once a month. She now wears orthopedic footwear - comfy, and necessary, I am sure. But NOT a good look tbh - she makes up for it by being otherwise v glamorous.

For walking on asphalt you need a cushioned sole, so yes, an alternative would a trainer of some sort, I suppose.
I used to love my Merrell's...

i fell in love with birkenstocks whilst pregnant with ds2. they are foot heaven but they are quite hideous. the supportive ones are anyway. i would really love another pair but dont know if i can justify the expense for a pair of shoes i wont wear outside the house. (i know i wont wear them in public) but they are so comfy they might just be worth it as slippers.

Someone on another thread was extolling the virtues of Fitflop ballerinas like this. I can't make up my mind though.

Agree pink and blue look like slippers, but I really need shoes to walk in that aren't trainers , so would consider the tan { even though I think they are quite ugly}
Think I have the beginning of a bunion

Oh my good god! No, no, no.
My nan has them and she is 87.
No, no, no ad infinitum.
