orla kiely/clarks shoe range, opinions please...

[nipersvest]

what do you think?

i like some, not all, and am tempted by these in particular, although the other day they were £80 not £90

just not sure i'd get a lot of wear out of them, for £90 shoes, i'd need to love them and wear them lots.

Mildred Roper!!

I think theres a very good chance that they'll be giving them away in the sale.

Really nice, classic shoe, excellent creative new style rather than a re-hashed something else.

But I wouldn't wear them, to prim for me.

You've put me right off them now I'm getting Mildred Roper flashbacks.

I've been waiting years for some shoes like these. The yellow maggie and marianne are utterly gorgeous. Loving the green sandals too. COME ON PAYDAY.

[Shock] Mildred Roper is a style icon!

As is Margot Leadbetter. She'd wear these shoes!

I like them - especially the style the op has picked out. Shoes have become so dull and predictable, we need something new.

Gorgeous,really quirky

My daughter has just said they look like orthopedic shoes.

They're dreadful.

This one's for Margot Leadbetter

Ooooo, just seen the soles Love a nice sole.

Yes, Margot would have teamed those with a kaftan and headscarf to prune her roses, before hilariously tumbling over a goat in Tom & Barbara's garden.

noooooooooooooooooooooo not Margot!!! even if i did used to live in Surbiton

The high ones are ok, but you wouldn't wear them two years in a row - and the balance on the heel looks wrong so I think they'd get really uncomfortable after an hour or so

I want to like them, looked at them last week but I think they're too cutesy / Minnie Mouse. Plus dh would laugh

I really like the Maggie in navy

I dislike the open heels. Are you supposed to wear them barefoot (and have sweaty toes) or with tights (which would look weird)?

Well going by this quick survey of possible customers there are going to be loads in the sale!!

Fingers crossed

I wonder if you get a free pair of knee high socks and a beret with every pair?

Oh I seriously disliked them until you said Margot Leadbetter, now thinking hmmm. (Goes away to sulk about not living in suburban 30s splendour with my own Jerry)
