Are these sandals a bit cruise ships?

[MargotLovedTom]

Not sure. Have just received them today and they're comfortable, but are they a bit glitzy in a safe way iykwim (not that I'm usually radical or anything)? They also come in black.

What do you think? I'm mid early 40s if that makes a difference.

Hoggle (which my autocorrect now tries to change to Goggle).

I definitely am not a Per Una type; am normally in black with no frills or ruffles whatsoever! I do think they veer into Joyce is off on a cruise with hubby Bill, celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary...she's had her highlights done and splashed out on some new linen trousers, a few embellished tops and some lovely sandals territory.
Aaargh! Have definitely talked myself out of them.

Bugger x post with Buda. Doubting self again.

of all the shoes on here your ones are the least offensive OP.

The first ones are definitely nana on holiday. The Clarks ones are worth a try.

Are you actually going on a cruise ship?

No I'm not going on a cruise ship .

I've got them on now. They're bloody comfy.

Ignore ginormo-leg on the left - doesn't look like that in rl!

I think they would suit Joyce but not sure about you.

I like them! But then I would rather poke myself in the eye than go on a cruise so have no idea what that means

Oh me too, I've been on a North Sea ferry crossing and that's about it . It's hard to describe what I mean without sounding sneery.

I think they look OK on your feet, OP.

Thanks .

"They look comfy" is always the death knell for me. I had some beloved work shoes that got replaced as soon as people started saying "oooh they look comfy "

I'm 30 and would wear them.

Know what you mean, Enid, 'comfy' is the beginning of the end

The alternative suggestions on this thread are a hell of a lot worse than the orginal - so frumpy they're actually frightful.

The gold ones look great on you OP.

Btw there are some very similar in Russell and Bromley for around £150.

And also these in LK Bennett for nearly £200.

Thanks Manon the LK Bennett ones are nearly 10x the price of the Joyce ones, and you can tell .

Enid I'm the one saying "Ooh they look comfy" these days. Damn you, sore feet!

Yes you can, but for £20 they're not far off.

They don't look too comfy on. This may be the perfect scenario - look comfy but actually aren't.

Duh. Are comfy but don't look it I mean.

Yeah, I'm going to keep them and embrace my latent Judith Chalmers. My feet practically sighed in contentment when I put them on so I'd be mad to reject a pair of comfy heels (usually an oxymoron for me).

OK now I'm confused - they look fab in the pic of you wearing them!

Given your last post too - can see they're keepers.
