These are awful, aren't they?

Occasionally I get weird aberrations of judgment about shoes - which can't be excused just because they are comfortable, which I do need them to be. And I need to be told to forget it!

These have nearly sold out and are described as 'ridiculously pretty' by the makers. But I suspect they are actually frumpy/tacky. Anyone want to tell me they aren't?

It's a no from me sorry. I think they look a bit shit.Halo

BeautifulMaudOHara · 30/05/2016 19:09

I quite like them!

lunagrace · 30/05/2016 19:10

I like those they are pretty !

user7755 · 30/05/2016 19:10

I wear all sorts of weird shit - and I wouldn't wear them!

KindDogsTail · 30/05/2016 19:11

I think the are rather nice as long as the context is not too smart.

They seem expensive considering the patent leather will probably get quite scratched, the white sides dirty, and they can't be re-heeled.
But if you love them, they are pretty and look extremely comfortable.

MadisonMontgomery · 30/05/2016 19:11

Um. Are they plastic? Personally I think they're a bit grim, but if you like them go for it! I'm sure I wear stuff all the time that most people would loathe.

witsender · 30/05/2016 19:11

Weird, sorry!

GreyTS · 30/05/2016 19:12

I think without the flowers they could be a smartish, comfy alternative to trainers. Just looked at the other versions and the non embellished canvas and suede ones are really quite nice, so yeah the flowers make them a bit tacky

YaySirNaySir · 30/05/2016 19:12

Yeah they are awful.

anotherbusymum14 · 30/05/2016 19:13

I like them too. I think they are a bit plain actually but would look quite nice on.

Madbengalmum · 30/05/2016 19:13

Yes they are grim.

PinkSquash · 30/05/2016 19:13

They are frumpsville to me

expatinscotland · 30/05/2016 19:18

Incredibly over-priced.

LadyReuleaux · 30/05/2016 19:18

Well I looked and I don't know what I was expecting but they weren't as hideous as I expected... just a bit twee I suppose.

However I don't trust anything that's described as ridiculously/ludicrously/hilariously etc. whatever.

On top of that I had never visited the site and it flashed up an introductory offer that said "Your first time should be special"!

eeeeeeewwwwwwwww

Numberoneisgone · 30/05/2016 19:21

I like them in silver but 120, not ever, no way.

Sparkletastic · 30/05/2016 19:23

Minging

DerelictMyBalls · 30/05/2016 19:25

I really don't like them.

ManonLescaut · 30/05/2016 19:25

It's the rubber soles that are weird - like rubber sailing shoes with flowers on.

The flowers are horrible I think (sorry). They make them look a bit cheap and frumpy.

KinkyAfro · 30/05/2016 19:32

I've got 4 pairs of the plain ballerinas in different colours, they are super comfy. Not keen on the flowers though

anotherbusymum14 · 30/05/2016 19:38

Oh, I only like them from top down (I do like them if they were just flat). Side on view though, they're funny/weird. Reminds me more of little girls shoes with the thick rubber soles. Sorry.

Gatekeeper · 30/05/2016 19:47

I quite like them but £75 for plastic shoes is ridiculous

2legit2knit · 30/05/2016 19:50

Gopping.
