Neither :)

CoconutAmericano · 01/04/2015 18:57

Oh God neither, sorry!

libertychick · 01/04/2015 19:04

Ballet

monkeysaymoo · 01/04/2015 19:06

Sorry neither!

burnishedsilver · 01/04/2015 19:41

They're equally bad. Sorry :-(

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 01/04/2015 19:44

Sorry but I don't think either are nice. However, if I HAD to choose, I'd say the ballet shoes are marginally less revolting. Sorry.

TheHappinessTrap · 01/04/2015 19:52

I like the shape of the loafer but not the look of the leather, so on that basis I vote ballet!

EssexMummy123 · 01/04/2015 20:05

hhmm - possibly back to the drawing board then.

Sorry, I don't like either of them. Is there some reason why you are looking at these specifically, like they're orthopaedic or something? Otherwise I'm sure we can find you something much nicer Smile

leccybill · 01/04/2015 21:17

Both disgusting, sorry.

EssexMummy123 · 01/04/2015 21:26

Lol - not exactly looking for orthopaedic but looking for comfort as fairly pregnant and a commuter / office worker.

I have found 2 more - think I like the second ones better?

black

brown

Have you tried Camper before?

ElizabethHoover · 01/04/2015 21:34

both vile

ElizabethHoover · 01/04/2015 21:34

just get some trainers?

MrsBertMacklin · 01/04/2015 21:45

Have a look at Moda in Pelle shoes.

MorrisZapp · 01/04/2015 21:50

Come on, no need for 'vile' is there? I like the light brown ones you linked, Hush Puppies and Clark's also do comfy walkable work shoes. I like Timberland too.

Trainers are hardly going to be appropriate.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 01/04/2015 21:58

Appearance wise the 3rd pair (I don;t like the buckle detail on 4)

If you're heavily pg it's difficult to see your feet let alone reach them.

The loafers do come a bit higher up so slightly (only slightly mind Wink better retaining medium)
But not in the metallicy gold

storytopper · 01/04/2015 22:03

I like them all, but then I am sixty years old.

Probably not what you wanted to hear.

Fluffycloudland77 · 01/04/2015 22:03

Hotter shoes? Or trainers.

Mistlewoeandwhine · 01/04/2015 22:05

How old are you and what is your style?

proceeding · 01/04/2015 22:05

The ballet ones are slightly better but as a lover of Gabor, neither are good. Sorry.

MrsBertMacklin · 01/04/2015 22:06

I have a pair of Skechers Go Walk 2 for walking to the train station. Not at all suitable for work, but seriously great for commuting and squishy enough to stuff into a bag before you get into the office.

polyhymnia · 01/04/2015 22:15

really don't like those Gabor ones, though I have seen some OK styles from them posted on here in past.
Have you looked at Geox? I've bought lots of theirs and always been very happy with how comfortable they are.

EssexMummy123 · 01/04/2015 22:42

hhmm - so looking for something to wear that's comfy enough to wear all day including the 40 or so minutes walk & bun fight through Liverpool Street in rush hour rather than have a separate office pair - feeling a bit tired and lazy.

Thanks for all the suggestions of other brands - will take a look.
