Am I wearing frumpy shoes?

[Sallystyle]

My teen boys think so

www.bellsshoes.co.uk/womens-c2/shoes-c17/adesso-layla-pink-fusion-p18322

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

[Motherwithflaws]

Hideous!

[lordStrange]

I think they are being polite

[Beautifullymixed]

My mouth is still wide open at the fugliness OP

Can't believe you would pay good money for those!

[Queenbean]

I thought "they can't be that bad..."

Then clicked on the link and almost gagged. They are truly hideous OP.

My mother told me if I didn't have anything nice to say, say nothing at all. Mums the word..

[RamsayBoltonsConscience]

They....aren't great OP.

[AuldYow]

I've never seen shoes like them before

[Paulat2112]

Wow!! They are special!

[Choceeclair123]

I'll be having nightmares tonight

[WaitrosePigeon]

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

Really laughed at this

[Beautifullymixed]

I've seen your good advice on several threads OP.
I will always 'see' the shoes now, when I read your posts.

[DameXanaduBramble]

Fuck me.

Did you make those out of shopping bags?

[absolutelynotfabulous]

I've got 2 pairs-a black pair and a pink pair (even pinker Tha yours).

I thought they were...edgy and cool. Seems I'm mistaken.

[hollyisalovelyname]

I think they are funky not frumpy.
I wouldn't be seen dead in them though

[PicnicPie]

Yep I'd file those under frumplicious

[Nettletheelf]

My eyes MY EYES!!!

They are heinous, OP. Sorry. Your kids are applying tough love for your own good.

[GinAndOnIt]

I keep clicking back on the link because I can't quite believe they exist. The other colour look like an 8 year old has made them with the elastic bands they've collected on their scooter neck.

[squoosh]

They look like shoes that you'd buy in some hippy shop. The kind that would come with a label saying 'handwoven by female prisoners in Belize'.

[ShatnersBassoon]

I think my nan had a 1970s sun lounger made from the same stuff. Chafed every time you had to get your bare skin off it.

[PacificDogwod]

U2, don't listen to the haterz

[Vixxfacee]

Some of the worst shoes I've ever seen.

[TheWindInThePillows]

They don't look comfortable to me, but I think they are fine- if you do a quick scan of summer feet, most people are rather untrendy sandals, it's actually hard to get a stylish cool pair.

I think it depends what you wear them with. I don't get the hatred, and I have seen way worse clumpy awful going trekking for a month type affairs, these could look ok with good jeans with a little turn up...

[polyhymnia]

I'm all for comfort but I think they're grim. But maybe they could be argued to be funky/ so ugly they're cool, I suppose ...

[squoosh]

I bet Timmy Mallet's girlfriend wears shoes like that.

[squoosh]

And I'd say Su Pollard has a pair for when she's chillaxing around the house.
