I bought these sandals today, please tell me what to wear with them!

[WakeUpFast]

I totally fell in love with these today. Firstly, I'm 33 years old, do they look like something a 30 year old would wear?

Secondly, what would I wear with these? Could I wear some chinos or nice maxi skirts? What about skinny jeans?

No, sorry, can't think of anything in their favour at all! Gladiators aren't exactly on trend - though I suppose you could argue that they are a sort of classic - and that isn't a nice interpretation of the gladiator look at all, IMO.

Don't like the New Look ones either, I'm afraid. And, riding my casual ageism hobbyhorse, can't think why a PP thought a 70-year-old would want to 'snap up' the original sandals. 70 year olds I know wouldn't touch them with a bargepole!

Woah. Harsh.

If you want Birkenstock type soles.

Quite a few here including some with espadrilles soles:

So is it ghillies in general that you lot don't like or just these ones?

I have the female version of Until's first pic. I also have an accompanying scar on the back of my leg where they cut in!

Perfect for a stroll up the Via Dolorosa with your cross.

Not fine for anything else.

They're going back!
My husband actually bought them on his card, so he's taking them back.
😁😖😂😂

Good decision

Next time remember to get our approval BEFORE purchasing any footwear

Now I feel like showing you pics of all my shoes and ask your opinion if they're too frumpy

Nah it's too late if you already own them

Besides you might want to see mine and they are DEFINITELY Frumpy with a capital F

Hahaha, well at least you haven't had to endure "won't touch with a barge pole" comments!

I actually own a pair of lace up boots that I wore all winter that a woman once commented on how nice they were. Now thinking back she was smiling a bit too much whilst complimenting me. I'm feeling paranoid now!

Are they like these ones ?

I didn't even know boots like that existed! No way!

They look like this:
Now I shall prepare myself for the worse. I wore these all winter so please break it to me gently.

Well I like your boots too. That is sure to be the kiss of death!

ZaZa, you're a star

I find sites that show the shoes on an actual foot really helpful. Asos is great for that and Schuh but not many other sites do it.
