These shoes - granny-ish or acceptable?

I want them in black...

Thank you

I was going to suggest childrens DMs. Same sort of style but cost £45.

You'll find loads of size 3 shoes in the children's department OP. And they're cheaper because there's not VAT.

I really like camper shoes, but their spring/summer 2016 collection is unbelievably fugly. There are shoes on there that make the Clarks originals with removable sock (from the recent thread) look tasteful.

I have the Liliana ones and Shearsby ones from Hotter (unfortunately not in a 3 so I've not bothered linking).

I'm 29 on my feet all day and I've got to say they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn and still look as good as new even though I've worn them since September.

Only for work!

I saw some lovely picolinos shoes when in Spain.

Are there any you like here.

This is page two at amazon. There are three pages

Callaghan also did some nice winter ones when we were in Spain.

Not sure if these are any good

Red or Dead

Those red or dead shoes look lovely, but are like wearing breeze blocks.

OP - if you need a comfort shoe, this style is elasticated, and comes in your size. You might not need the strap.

have you looks at Dr Martens shoes OP?
I have these in black and they are very comfy

Belated update. I bought the Rocket Dogs but they were completely insubstantial so I've now bought these Clarks. No doubt they will gain deep disapproval from the S&B board but I got fed up of searching. Sorry

They are at least better than the Hotter ones you posted CHRIST THEY WERE AWFUL but that is faint praise.

I know, I look back at that first photo with shame and horror.

How smart do the shoes need to be? A chiropodist recommended toms to me. They are the most comfortable shoes I can remember having.

I've got these for work: www.toms.co.uk/collections/black-glitter-womens-classics

And these for outside of work. www.toms.co.uk/collections/navy-polka-dots-linen-womens-classics

They look better on than in these photos. I'm a size 3 and can get them from the kids collection which is cheaper.

Choughed - they are absolutely fine, lots of women at my workplace (myself included) wear heels round the office, then something more 'sensible' for walking out at lunch time. The shoes you've chosen wouldn't look out of place round here!

Sorry I haven't read whole thread but see the OP didn't buy those original horrors. Good! I am a granny but incidentally hate Hotter with a passion. (Also wish the lazy use of 'grannyish' for anything frumpy would stop as many grannies are stylish - but don't suppose it will!)

Agree with poly about all the self loathing on S&B: 'grannyish'... 'mumsy'. Just stop people, it's seriously weird.

Glad you've found some shoes, op. Just make sure the rest of your outfit's reasonably modern and they'll look fine.

Just make sure the rest of your outfit is modern and you'll be fine

Absolutely. That's the key to pulling off comfortable shoes. And don't forget that other people won't be paying much attention to your feet!

Ooooof. The shoes you decided on are WAY better than the initial pair.

Thank you all for the lukewarm approval

Also wish the lazy use of 'grannyish' for anything frumpy would stop as many grannies are stylish - but don't suppose it will!

I forthwith promise to cease and desist from using 'granny-ish' as a byword for frumpy. I am a step-granny (step-grandson born a month before my 40th birthday) so really I should know better.

Sincere apologies.
