To keep or not to keep? That is the (shoe related) question!

Morning wise ones!
I have impulse bought some shoes but am really not sure whether to keep them. I bought them as they are comfy and won't be too hot in summer but not sure if they are a bit old for me, as my mum would say.
I'm 32. I'd wear them with leggings and tunic top, jeans or linen style trousers and go to playgroup, school etc.
What do you think????

I'd also like to take the opportunity to say that my floor is cleaner than it looks there! Blush

I'd keep them OP... For about 40years, then wear them.

I think they're a bit old for you, if I'm honest.

TweeBee · 27/04/2016 10:05

Lmao Daisy

Yes OP, sacrifice them in flames and erase them from existence. Grin

I'm mid 30s and I'm sorry but they are horrific. They are exactly the sort of shoe my mother wears!
OP return them and get yourself on ASOS, hundreds of pairs of shoes to choose from!

nothingwittyhere · 27/04/2016 13:04

I love them, where are they from?

Cakescakescakes · 27/04/2016 13:09

They look super comfy... But style wise more for someone much older. I've given up on ballet flats and shoes and live in trainers and turned up jeans in summer now. I have a pair of new balance which are super comfy and perfect for park etc.

Blackheart2016 · 27/04/2016 13:20

No likey sorry.

TweeBee · 27/04/2016 13:21

Thanks everyone. Decision made then! Back they go!
Nothing they are from Aldi. Got them last week, they had other colours too. Don't suppose you're a size 5?Smile

I'm an English teacher and struggling to find polite adjectives for those
Sorry

burnishedsilver · 27/04/2016 13:29

They look like little girls shoes to me.

nothingwittyhere · 27/04/2016 18:31

Sorry, I'm a 7! Honestly can't see why people are hating them though, to me they look much more interesting than the boring shoes that get the love on here.

Ilovetorrentialrain · 27/04/2016 19:04

No! They don't look like they're for a woman - the flowers on the sides look very child-like. ASOS, Dune, Office, Schuh have nice ones.

Whatthefoxgoingon · 27/04/2016 19:51

No. And I posted on the fugly sandal thread.

specialsubject · 27/04/2016 20:23

Practical and comfortable. Not allowed, you are female. Go buy the fugly staggerers in that horrible beige. Like wotsername the duchess wears.

You'll walk like a duck, stuff up feet and back and look a bit of a joke to many....but you'll be fashionable so that's what matters.

Or just enjoy comfort

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 27/04/2016 20:27

They look like the kind of shoes they might sell in a garden centre. It's a no from me, sorry.

DameXanaduBramble · 27/04/2016 20:28

Specialcomfort, there is a line that should not be crossed, those shoes cross it. Doesn't mean you can't be stylish if you don't wear heels, I never do but still wouldn't wear those. (Sorry op)

DameXanaduBramble · 27/04/2016 20:28

Sorry specialsubject!
