wanted walking sandals as holiday on Sunday and path to beach is "steep and rocky". bought these but I feel a bit grannyish in the. only have tomorrow to search for something else.

I usually live in flip flops so not sure if that's why I feel weird in these? I thought they'd be a bit note stylish than the usual fabric/sporty style.... now confused!

Link isn't working

Link doesn't work...you need to paste it in

Toothytwo · 07/08/2014 22:42

I think they would be ok as long as you're not wearing them with anything frumpy, borderline :)

Toothytwo · 07/08/2014 22:43

here

wanttosinglikemarycoughlan · 07/08/2014 22:45

I like them
It doesn't show the price in my link, how much were they
Fancy a pair myself

HolgerDanske · 07/08/2014 22:46

Hmmm might be ok depending on what you wear with them.

iwantavuvezela · 07/08/2014 22:46

I thnk they will suit what you need them for. They are not dancing shoes! But good for a path to the beach. Enjoy your holiday

HolgerDanske · 07/08/2014 22:47

Yes i agree. Safety is surely more important (only just, mind) than style credentials?

Enjoy your holiday Smile

Drywhiteplease · 07/08/2014 22:48

Sorry....they are frumpy, but "walking" anything is so I'd agree with toothy that you'll have to be careful with what you wear. Having said that, you'll probably take them off once on the beach, so really who cares?

BikeRunSki · 07/08/2014 22:56

They are fine

itiswhatitiswhatitis · 07/08/2014 23:15

Sorry but the description really made me laugh "comfortable for walking and sexy for a night out" Grin

They're not awful, practical rather than frumpy

Pompbear · 07/08/2014 23:20

haha, hadn't seen that description. next time I have a hot date I shall be wearing these!Wink

To answer, yes.

Pompbear · 07/08/2014 23:23

nice shorts. tanned legs, nice painted nails. hoping that helps. not a mid calf skirt or cropped cargo trouser in sight I promise!

I just don't want to cringe every time look down (shallow)

Pompbear I'm sorry to say yes they are. Your only walking to the beach in them, so does it really matter.

Dontgotosleep · 08/08/2014 18:25

Pompbear · 08/08/2014 21:25
