What would you wear with these shoes?

I'm going through one of my regular 'I hate all my clothes' phases, I need to sort them out but I'm starting with shoes. These are really comfortable and I like them but do they just look like a man's shoe? Or an old persons shoe? Can I wear anything with them that would look nice?

I don't know why either but the post and then the pic of the shoe made me laugh and laugh.... Thank you for that! I needed that Smile

Poor shoes. A new life on the skip awaits by the looks of things!

They don't even look ok with the carpet they are on.

File under B and don't look back.

They look like a Cornish pasty.

Whoa! Shock

Where the hell did you buy those monsters?

WoodleyPixie · 09/04/2016 16:29

My sister has shoes like that. She wears them with wide leg trousers and a more fitted top. They aren't for me but she says they are very comfortable.

A clowns costume?Grin

I'm now laughing at the thought of other people laughing at my shoe Grin

I'm now very glad they've been in the bottom of the wardrobe for so long although I am concerned about the fact that I have worn them in the past.

Interestingly I did see some similar to them in a garden centre today. They clearly appeal to people who buy shoes in garden centre outlets.

I have never seen a shoe with so many issues.
Wear them with a fleece, a pair of half mast boot cut jeans, no make-up and a hand knitted hat. Or throw them in the bin.

And thanks for the laugh Grin

My poor shoes are going to need therapy.

Therapy won't help them.

I love your username, but your shoes leave something to be desired!

I second Remus' comment - what would the 1980s version of you have said about those shoes!

MsBojangles · 09/04/2016 22:18

Poor unloved shoes, at least they've got each other Sad

CakeNinja · 09/04/2016 23:02

Oh god, OP I feel so bad for absolutely weeping with laughter at both the shoes and comments Blush actual physical laughter, particularly at wearing them them with a disguise
Please show us some more, we have all made style crimes!

Lucked · 09/04/2016 23:09

Best thread today!

SavoyCabbage · 09/04/2016 23:15

I enjoyed it so much I've come back an hour later to see the shoes again.

In the meantime I've hacked the end off a crusty loaf and devoured it. I've only just realised I've been subliminally advertised to by the shoe loaf!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 09/04/2016 23:18

Poor OP. Sorry but I am enjoying this thread. Hope you're not too traumatised.

What would you wear with these shoes?
AJumpedUpPantryBoy · 09/04/2016 23:32

Remus - that's fab!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 09/04/2016 23:33

There are lots of them, Jumped - have a Google of This Charming Charlie. You will love!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 09/04/2016 23:35

This one is my favourite.

Love that Remus

Even though I knew the shoes are hideous although they are sooooooo comfy I was half hoping that you Style and Beauty people were going to say something like 'just pop on a belt and a statement scarf and they'll become the height of fashion'.

Might wear them for gardening. I bet Monty Don would love them. [sob]
