I quite like them, although I'm sure I quite dislike them too. Although they're not going to break the bank if I keep them and don't wear them, what do you think?

Sorry, they are hideous.

NoFucksImAQueen · 08/10/2016 19:35

They're not to my taste but I don't dislike them. I think they'd look alright with jeans

Liberace called, he wants his shoes back.

Will your feet not be a bit cold?

AtSea1979 · 08/10/2016 19:36

I'm not keen. They look like slippers

PotatoBread · 08/10/2016 19:36

Granny slippers.

NicknameUsed · 08/10/2016 19:38

Erm, yes. They are hideous. Not exactly practical for this time of year either.

LucyLot · 08/10/2016 19:39

I really love them want them myself! They're very stylish and on trend.

Chippednailvarnishing · 08/10/2016 19:41

I think it would depend on how big your feet are.

SansasEscape · 08/10/2016 19:42

I thought as much. I'm 26 and my usual is jeans, heeled ankle boots and a t-shirt, blouse, jumper of sorts. I was hoping I could look like this.

Backless shoes are on trend as are floral/embroidered - combine together and they look like granny slippers and very few could look stylish in them

SansasEscape · 08/10/2016 19:43

I'm a size 6 shoe.

Has anyone told the weather about this backless show trend?Grin

nancy75 · 08/10/2016 19:44

Shoe ffs

worrierandwine · 08/10/2016 19:44

Very fashion forward, almost all the street style photos from fashion week featured shoes like this. I really like mules and these are the sort of thing I would expect to see on Alexa Chung, Olivia Palermo et al. If you like them and can wear them with confidence then do it!

Believeitornot · 08/10/2016 19:44

That woman also looks a bit silly.

Send them back.

albertcampionscat · 08/10/2016 19:45

Couldn't walk in them myself, but I like them.

Fairylea · 08/10/2016 19:45

Very trendy but I am not a fan of the colour etc. They look very "old man" smoking slippers Grin

Joinourclub · 08/10/2016 19:45

They look like they are covered in lichen. I quite like them.

WaitrosePigeon · 08/10/2016 19:46

They look like they smell

frikadela01 · 08/10/2016 19:46

Hideous and I don't think the woman in the second pic pulls backless shoes of either. Far too much like slippers for me. And completely pointless at this time of year.

SavoyCabbage · 08/10/2016 19:47

They look like Hugh Heffners spare pair.

HelloSunshines · 08/10/2016 19:48

There are thousands of great shoes you have bypassed to get to those shoes!

notaflyingmonkey · 08/10/2016 19:48

For goodness sake, if you like them, surely that's what counts?

(I think they look lovely!)
