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?

I was expecting a lot worse from the comments. I think with the right casual outfit they would be fine! My Mum has been buying the same frumpy shoes in black and navy for 30 bleedin years. Sometimes she used to get them mixed up to look batshit crazy on top of frumpy when I was a kid, your kids should count themselves lucky Grin

They're interesting!

I personally wouldn't take style advice from teenage boys though. Wear what you want.

I'm 23 and have a pair just like that. I think they're stylish, practical and comfy!

It depends on what you wear them with and your personal style. With cut off jeans and a cool shirt I think they could look ace X

2nds, my 12 and 13 yo DSs were appalled when I got my first pair of Go Walks this year Grin - they were SO outraged that it kind of added to the whole experience: v comfy feet AND comically dicusted (sic) t(w)eens: win-win!

Someone up thread said their skechers were frumpy? I'd like to see these 'frumpy' skechers!
I'm a skechers convert. I used to wear any cheap crap on my feet but since I slipped on a pair of skechers go walk a while back I have not looked back!!

Well I think they're fab. So there. They sell them in an "edgy" shop in my city alongside the DMs. So there.

Wear your shoes with pride, OP.

I just went on to the Shuropody website to find my shoes but found these babies instead. 😆...the "cooler" younger sister of frumpy shoes.

I didn't have my glasses on and initially thought they were slippers Grin

I'm with your sons on these. I'm 36 and have no style whatsoever and would also want to walk 10 yards behind you if you wore these out.
