They've got good reviews but of course I can't buy anything without MN approval Grin :

Lovely.... I love a blocked heel.

TheFisherKing · 09/07/2014 14:36

I like them and the colour.

Pangaea · 09/07/2014 14:38

I think they are bloody awful, I'm sorry!

It's the heel height - hate in between heels. Needs to be taller or more of a flat sandal for me.

And I think the patent finish makes them look much cheaper than they are.

I feel like a mega bitch now! Sorry!

Something like these pairs are much more to my taste:

That's ok pangea everyone has different taste.

It was actually the in between height that drew me. I feel uncomfortable in very high shoes except for a very special occasion....these are high enough to look smart but not too uncomfortable to wear.

Unfortunately the blue has sold out in my size so it's either gold (NO!), red (not keen) or tan with wood heel.

I like the tan ones best

Pangaea · 09/07/2014 14:57

I agree, the tan has the nicest finish.

hollyisalovelyname · 09/07/2014 15:50

You need good ankles and long legs for ankle strap shoes.
The patent makes them look cheap.

BritabroadinAsia · 09/07/2014 21:06

Dancergirl, I have them in navy - I think they look better on than on the page, they are surprisingly comfortable and I LOVE a heel of 8cm or less... so it's a yes from me!

LEMmingaround · 09/07/2014 21:07

They look like dressing up shoes

Dancergirl · 09/07/2014 21:07

The navy looks lovely but sold out in my size! I'll try the tan. Thanks.

Well I bought the tan and sent them straight back! Frumpy!

Can anyone recommend any others similar with a block heel? But not too high.

Can't link (phone) but I've got some Hobbs coco in tan & I like them. Worth a look.

Dancergirl · 15/07/2014 13:27

Those coco sandals are lovely mam but sold out in all colours and sizes

BritabroadinAsia · 15/07/2014 23:31

Oh no! What a shame... am now wondering if my navy ones are horribly mumsy... will have to ask suitably honest RL mate. Eeek!

WildBillfemale · 16/07/2014 07:01

Not my style but I like them

Dancergirl · 17/07/2014 13:08

I have just bought these from Dune:

They are fab, very comfortable too. I got the white but wondering if the black/tan/white would be better.....

OP posts:
Nancy66 · 17/07/2014 13:27

don't like them. Very 'mother of the bride'

letsgotothebeach · 17/07/2014 14:24

I like the Dune ones - especially the black/tan/white. I am tall so dont like wearing very high heels, and really like the block heel sandles around now. Think you have to have slim legs though, and def not wear anythink vaguely frumpy with them!

rootypig · 17/07/2014 15:48

They're fab! Really quite modern. Shame about the blue.
