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?

[LizzieMacQueen]

Better off wearing trainers IMO

[MajesticSeaFlapFlap]

They are like home craft pintrest shoes
Bored of weaving baskets or making fluttered bottles? Try shoes



However I admit I'm no fashion queen, I wear sandals with socks out in public and my teen will flat out refuse to walk beside me.

[MajesticSeaFlapFlap]

Glittered not fluttered

[AnyFucker]

I actually did just choke on my rose wine @ Timmy Mallet 's girlfriend

Some things you wish you'd never clicked on...you can't unsee stuff you've looked at on the Internet!

But each to their own OP😸

[Talisin]

I'd refuse to be seen out with my mum too if she wore those.

[CointreauVersial]

YY to 1970s sunlounger!

[whitehandledkitchenknife]

Oh no. I like a fugly shoe as much as the next fugly shoe lover person, but these are not the right side of fugly. They are just ugly.
FWIW - a very old ex boyfriend was wearing a pair last time I saw him. I honestly thought he'd developed some serious foot problem.

[Floisme]

Never, ever take style advice from teenage boys.
I think if you wear them with cool clothes they'll look fine.
Now where are these coach trips of which you speak?,

[Sendmylove]

I LOL'ed when I clicked on that link.

[ILoveAGoodBrusselSprout]

Oh dear god. Got a little sick in my mouth there

DM (in her 70s) has a pair not dissimilar, but nowhere near as bad.

[bloomburger]

My 78 year old mother in law has a pair. She v sprightly for 78 though!

[PragmaticWench]

They are actually quite trendy (in London).

They are also really ugly.

'Tis often the way with edgy shoes and clothing.

[Sendmylove]

I'm still laughing at the second pair in the hideous colours.

[PacificDogwod]

U2 is simply sartorially waaaaay ahead of the curve and you staid lot

But yes, why is that that the übercool stuff often is so ridiculously ugly?!

[EnriqueTheRingBearingLizard]

I think they're fine if you go out wearing lycra shorts and a vest top with a baseball cap smart linens or a floaty sundress not so much.

[LadyB49]

I can see them with nice tanned leg.....funky
Good with ankle grazers etc.
Think I like them.

[FrazzleM]

Oh OP, you are getting a tough time over these.

I must admit to having more than a chuckle at some of these comments!

If they're comfy and you like them, then that's all that matters.

[Sallystyle]

I'm waiting to go into the theatre and laughing really hard at some of these comments

I'm not wearing the shoes tonight although I was tempted.

[Beautifullymixed]

This is a funny thread OP

Enjoy the theatre.

[AnyFucker]

You are a good sport, U2

[Willsee]

Wonderful! I am getting some right away if it means getting out without teens. Trying to decide which colour would be better at keeping teens away

[JohnCheese]

Oh FrazzleM no no NO!! These shoes are one of the few pairs of shoes in the world where the comfort factor is entirely irrelevant. They are truly beyond 'if they're comfortable...' No no no

Sorry OP

[LizzieMacQueen]

So you have already bought them?
