What do you think of these shoes?

[ButICantaloupe]

I can't decide if they are 'me'

Russell and Bromley

My husband thinks they are hideous

They look sturdy. That's the nicest thing I can think to say about them.

I looked and closed the link quickly. Then went back to check they really were that bad. They are.

They are shocking.
Don't attempt to buy them.

I have the clarks brogues and they are so comfy and I love them!

I have to say that clarks do some similar to the ones the OP is asking about and I really like them. They are a very similar style but more feminine looking. They are also a lot cheaper. Might be worth looking at. Office do some too which my much younger and very stylish friend bought. www.clarks.co.uk/p/20355374 These are the clarks ones and they are on offer!

They are funky und nasty.

Cripes! Your DH is right.

For the love of God! They are bloody awful OP!

Just noticed the name of them ...ain't called Monk Shoes for nothing!

I wasn't too sure about them at first and now you have all unanimously slated them, I really like them!

I want them!

This geezer just called. He wants his shoes back.

Ok... I think my love affair with these shoes is now over. That picture is hideous.

Yay! I saved the day!! Woohoo!

Horrible. Sorry.

Awful!

Nombrechanger, my DH is very happy. You have just saved him £175 and a lot of embarrassment

Tell him you're going to still spend that amount but on at least 3 pairs of shoes!! that don't belong to men [grins]

[grins] even!

Oh shit, I need to go to bed!

I will probably buy another, less hideous, pair from Russell and Bromley. I'll listen to DH in future

Hahaahaha! I fricking love MN but i hate those shoes OP

I think they are fine if you are Agyness Deyn or Alexa Chung. But probably in black, ox blood or dark brown.

Hard to pull off and not look like an unmarried maths teacher or librarian from the 1970s.

Brilliant! I'll take that as encouragement cardamomginger

Excellent, I will buy them tomorrow

Sometimes we need to resisit temptation. Those shoes make me think you'd smell of mothballs. I am sorry! I am sure that you do not smell of moth balls! The links to the Clark's shoes are much more fashionable.

My mum would have wanted me to wear them to school in 1980.

HTH

If it helps, I love them! I might not wear them, though, if you see what I mean?

I have the Clarks Hamble Oak and I can highly recommend them!
