My teen boys think so Grin

They are very comfortable and cool and I'm more than happy to wear them, but are they alone with their opinion?

They are not alone. Smile

Sallystyle · 22/07/2016 16:48

Apparently they won't go out with me wearing them.

Bonus Grin

Ditto above.

2nds · 22/07/2016 16:49

No. I'd happily wear them, I might buy a pair.

I'm with AF I'm afraid

sonlypuppyfat · 22/07/2016 16:51

I go by comfort not style!

ShatnersBassoon · 22/07/2016 16:51

They're not exactly frumpy, but that style is favoured by the over-60s coach tripper. I'm guessing you're not wearing them for formal events and funerals though, and they do look very comfortable, so please yourself.

MissMoo22 · 22/07/2016 16:52

I have to agree with your kids, sorry.

ImperialBlether · 22/07/2016 16:53

Sorry, but my response when ii saw them was to swear out loud.

ShatnersBassoon · 22/07/2016 16:54

By the way, I bumped into my friend, who's in her 40s, and her mum last week. My friend apologised to me for her mum's socks 'n' Crocs. Parents will never cease to be embarrassing Grin

lanbro · 22/07/2016 16:56

Pretty ugly I'm afraid, although I did see a lot of people wearing them on holiday....

honeylou42 · 22/07/2016 16:58

Sorry I swore when I saw those Shock

Sallystyle · 22/07/2016 16:58

I love shoes, I have loads of really lovely non frumpy ones but I have been known to buy shoes that people raise their eyebrows at.

They are all bendy and airy!

Frumporama.

SmellOfPythonInTheMorning · 22/07/2016 16:59

Dear God!!!!

(sorry Blush)

Sallystyle · 22/07/2016 17:00

It's ok, I don't mind Grin

I will just be careful where I wear them.

Bloody hell, they are, erm, hopefully very comfy.

Oblomov16 · 22/07/2016 17:00

Good god they are truely awful. Sorry.

MadisonMontgomery · 22/07/2016 17:02

Wow. They are really, um, different.

GinAndOnIt · 22/07/2016 17:03

Imperial Grin Grin

I'm afraid I'm with everyone else, but good on you for wearing what you want!

PacificDogwod · 22/07/2016 17:07

They are fab!! They have gone over to The Ugly Side that have reappeared on the Really Very Cool Side - they just need some sleb to endorse them.
I want a pair Grin

In fact I fingered a green/blue pair v similar to those on a Spanish market recently

NorbertDentressangle · 22/07/2016 17:15

Heavens to Betsy they are bad (and I don't mean bad in a good , "down wid da kids" way either!)

WaitrosePigeon · 22/07/2016 17:17

Well I quite like them!

NorbertDentressangle · 22/07/2016 17:17

OMG - I've just clicked on the other colour option Shock - they look like they've been woven from an assortment of shop carrier bags

Sallystyle · 22/07/2016 17:17

Exactly, they are so uncool they are almost cool

They are all the rage you know, MrShoe sell them now Grin
