Anyone Like/Loathe these Casual Shoes??

Tried these on the other day and very tempted. Super comfortable and the grey will go with everything.

Do others like or loathe them, for everyday wear, ie mainly with skinny jeans or cros? I do wonder whether the whiteness of the trim will limit them to summery weather and look quite silly in autumn.

No, don't worry, very happy to be discouraged from buying them.

£150 for synthetic shoes is bonkers!

Jinglebells99 · 04/08/2014 18:23

i don't like the look of them in the photo but they may look better on. seem expensive too.

GiveTwoSheets · 04/08/2014 18:23

I like them but at £150 don't think I would take a chance of bunging them in washing machine and I someone who washes everything, you would have to be prepared to clean the white every time you wore them, but then I'm anal at noticing people's shoes.

EugeneKrabs · 04/08/2014 18:23

I think slip on skater shoes have had their day, tbh

monsterowl · 04/08/2014 18:24

If you want an honest opinion, they are inoffensive but nothing special, and I had a heart attack when I saw the price. Looking at the pictures, I would have expected them to cost £20 max. You could get something similar from places like Office or Schuh for a fraction of that.

I doubt the whiteness would look silly in autumn because they will quickly become grimy-looking.

Dumpylump · 04/08/2014 18:24

You can get almost identical - slightly nicer ones imo - from Top Shop, Dorothy Perkins, New Look.......nicer prices too!

LightastheBreeze · 04/08/2014 18:25

If you like the style I would maybe get a cheaper pair say £20-30.

polyhymnia · 04/08/2014 18:27

Hmm, looks like a definite 'no' then. Good to have honest opinions.

Looks like I could spend my money for autumn far better.

Tbh, hadn't noticed they were definitely synthetic till I posted.I'm sure the woman in LKB told me they were some type of leather, despite appearances.

They are vile! £150 are you MAD????

polyhymnia · 04/08/2014 18:30

Have to admit I do already have one pair of skater type shoes. Don't really need another and, rather than get one somewhere cheap, would rather spend the money somewhere like LKB or Russell and Bromley on something completely different in September when all autumn styles in..

ThatsNotWhatISaid · 04/08/2014 18:30

It's a no from me too. They seem very pricy.

polyhymnia · 04/08/2014 18:30

Thanks, LEMK, yes, I have got the message. An aberration on my part.

i prefer the jones fitflops which are cheaper as well.

The ones you linked to are a bit jeremy irons, brothel creepers for £150 notes?!

ElizabethArdenGreenTeax · 04/08/2014 18:32

cheaper nicer and more comfortable

dexter73 · 04/08/2014 18:33

How about grey Toms? One of my friends lives in them as she says they are so comfortable.

LEMmingaround · 04/08/2014 18:35

Glad to be of service Grin

Bunbaker · 04/08/2014 18:36

Get some Sketchers Go Walk instead. I bet they will be far more comfortable.

BikeRunSki · 04/08/2014 18:39

Hideous style, crazy price
