well, I don't particularly like them myself, but on the other hand I've now reached a point in my life where I am a great believer in not wearing shoes that make every movement agony. So I say if you like them, and they are comfy, buy them and enjoy wearing them.

BeCool · 24/04/2013 16:20

Dreadful, I've always disliked them. Men of a certain age tend to be very fond of them. And sailors. Salty dog types love them.

The mint colour was especially horrendous.

But if they feel good .................... actually aren't there any nice shoes that feel good too. Crocs perhaps Grin

Lulabellarama · 24/04/2013 16:24

Love them, I'll be purchasing some in tan myself.

HeyYoniYoni · 24/04/2013 16:27

Moccasins are Very Much the Thing with the youth

usualsuspect · 24/04/2013 16:31

I like them very much.

IsabelleRinging · 24/04/2013 16:34

These platform ballerinas would be nice instead.

Fillyjonk75 · 24/04/2013 16:38

No, have never liked that style myself. I prefer Mary Janes/ converse style pumps.

Nothing wrong with metallic shoes though per se, depends on the style.

TooMuchRain · 24/04/2013 16:41

I've seen lots of loafers around and looking good with the right outfit - though I admit that I looked at those in M&S and just couldn't do it

Fillyjonk75 · 24/04/2013 16:43

These tan ballerinas have a slight heel to stop the 'too flat' problems

I'm always seeing young people wearing loafers & boat-type shoes where I live - don't think they're too bad!

Wilding · 24/04/2013 16:45

In fact, I might have to get a pair - my moccasins fell to pieces after too many festivals last year Sad

JazzDalek · 24/04/2013 17:17

I have a very similar pair (from Boden Blush ) and they are insanely comfortable. I walk a lot (no car, crap public transport network) and I exempt my feet from "style" for this reason. I just have no tolerance whatsoever for silly shoes that pinch and rub, and quite honestly couldn't care less if my footwear is deemed grannyish.

I mostly wear boots or Converse, but leather moccasins are brilliant for warmer days.

finlaysmum12 · 24/04/2013 17:28

i think the pewter ones would look great with skinnies or tapered boyfriend jeans.

pastel ones are hideous IMHO

was looking at skechers "go walk" pumps today- I do a lot of walking and wear skinnies/leggings too.......

Are you me?

finlaysmum those Go Walk aren't very pretty but are insanely comfortable. It is like walking on cushions.

finlaysmum12 · 24/04/2013 18:23

for anyone who likes the go walk's-

there is 25% off everything at brantano at the mo, onlinwe or in shop.

limited sizes though

GingerLemonTea · 24/04/2013 19:16

To be clear...
It's the tan ones in first link that I like best. Not so bad eh?

Bunbaker · 24/04/2013 19:33

I like them as well

MummaBubba123 · 24/04/2013 22:29

Go for Gabors. You won't regret it! Sooo comfy - even if worn all day long!

PacificDogwood · 24/04/2013 22:48

I have a pair of these - vair trendy as from Fly London, but I never realised they were called 'Yoni' Grin[wheezes]Grin.

Bunbaker · 25/04/2013 07:03

Sorry, but those are beyond awful Pacific. If I want comfort I don't want heels, and I don't want platforms either as I am tall enough without them.

PacificDogwood · 25/04/2013 08:22
Grin I do lurve them, but am a shortarse, so fair enough.
Alwayscheerful · 25/04/2013 08:26

My very trendy 27 year old bought the similar ones in white with tan trim, they look really fab and very expensive but sorry not in the colour way you have chosen they look grannyish.

Kikithecat · 25/04/2013 08:30

I have the red ones. I love them and am wearing them now. Hate bloody ballerinas.

schnauzerfan · 25/04/2013 08:33

I've got a pair of tan leather ones from Fat Face, now THEY are better than slippers. The most comfy shoes I have ever owned.

Fillyjonk75 · 25/04/2013 10:49

I like ballerinas but was a bit over them by two or three years ago tbh.
