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?

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.

Oh I'm not a fan..but if you like them and are comfy then who cares

ScarlettDarling · 23/07/2016 09:18

Dear lord, they're nasty. But I bet you rock em! Grin

Apparently they won't go out with me wearing them

I wouldn't go out with me wearing them

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!!

TondelayaDellaVentamiglia · 23/07/2016 09:28

oh so SO bad! Dearie me, no!

Fugly...nothing else to say

Cordelia1234 · 23/07/2016 09:31

Yes..but I'm also wearing blue crocs...and sometimes ugly black trainers...ugly shoes are so comfortable!!!

Cordelia1234 · 23/07/2016 09:32

Ooo my ugly trainers are sketchers

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!

2nds · 23/07/2016 09:45

Oh Pacific I wear mine every day I leave them.by the door and just slip them on and just want to dance my way out the door like Michelle pfeifer does in Grease 2.

mum2Bomg · 23/07/2016 09:49

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

FuminFecker · 23/07/2016 10:04

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

RowenaDahl · 23/07/2016 10:05

They're interesting!

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

MumOfTwoMasterOfNone · 23/07/2016 10:27

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

absolutelynotfabulous · 23/07/2016 11:23

mum2 that's what I wear mine with.

I'm liking pacific's too, now....
