Are these shoes horrible? I can't tell anymore.

I need to wear some sort of shoes on my feet. My feet tend to get really cold so I need the shoes to be sock-wearable. High heels hurt. Will I look really stupid if I buy these? It's so so hard to find nice flats. Help!

Yuk. Sorry.

I love them. Every time I'm in Clarks I drool over them, but I have too many brogue-type shoes already

I like them and I'd wear them like Mabel. Or with Comme des Garcons type stuff. Assuming they have good instep support they look comfortable and pretty cool. Don't like the brogues with the little block heel, too fussy.

They really are ugly. How can you drool over old men's shoes like that, MrsBenWyatt?

My first thought was they look masculine

they just look like really basic shoes, that nobody would even notice. Theyre neither nice, nor not nice

Imperial I love brogues and they are golden brogues

I think they are hideous, but if you like them go for it.

They are TERRIBLE. Sorry Mabel. Run, OP!

I dont like them but then I've never really taken to the brogue style shoe. I agree with the masculine comment.

I would prefer Dr Martens

I like them. But I like masculine shoes jackets and bags.
I don't think masculine is frumpy. Old lady shoes are frumpy - ones that are neither unashamedly masculine like these not properly feminine either.

Love fashion. Love shoes. Hate heels blogg (sorry if this has been posted already up thread) this might be worth a look op, lots of summer stuff on there atm but you might be able to get some inspiration!

Really like the ones TellEmSteveDave linked to.

No need to apologise if you think they are hideous. I am long past giving a crap about anyone else's opinion!

I like them. I'd wear them with rolled up skinny jeans, or opaque tights and shortish skirts. I love a masculine shoe and pretty much live in brogues or Chelsea boots.

I like them. I ordered them myself but sent them back as they arrived scratched and never got round to ordering them again. They're extremely comfy and as a previous poster said, they're light and not clumpy at all. And I can tell you that they sold out pretty quickly in the shop selling them in the Spanish city where I live, where the women are not known for being frumpy! With rolled up jeans they looked really nice. And those platform type heels seem to be pretty popular right now.

I love em - in fact I'm going to get them!

How about ecco shoes? They look comfy and good for walking.

They're like the bastard love-child of a Doc Marten and a school shoe from 1984.

Verdict: kill with fire.

I like 'em. I'm just starting to get my head round the crepey sole thing that's everywhere at the moment, but I think they look really good.

My friend has them in black & they look lovely. She wears them with both dresses & trousers.

MN s&B really bamboozles me. On the same thread the OP shoes are proclaimed "frumpy" but then Ecco shoes are recommended!?!?!???

To me the OP shoes are clumpy and masculine but a bit cool and I like them.
Ecco shoes are almost all 100% comfort and 0% style.

There nice if your over 70 years old

If not they are hideous 🙈
