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?

Not keen on them but if you're wanting to wear them then maybe try them as a bit of a statement?

So black top, black skinny ankle grazers and maybe a leather jacket?

Anything else with pattern would be too much. Also you're going to freeze with those on!

Where do you all live? Its still 14-17 degrees where I am Grin

They aren't that bad.

Bibs2014 · 08/10/2016 19:58

This thread made me LOL! Especially waitrose's answerGrin

Sorry OP they're hideous.

Loyly · 08/10/2016 19:59

Sorry, I don't like them.

Chippednailvarnishing · 08/10/2016 20:02

I'd get yourself a nice sensible pair of wellys OP. Much more practical!

WaitrosePigeon · 08/10/2016 20:02

I aim to please Grin

irie · 08/10/2016 20:02

Love them op they are a fashion statement and I think you can surely look like that girl, go for it life's too short to be boring

OhTheRoses · 08/10/2016 20:04

I quite like them. Am 56 London centric - just moved to posh(ish) surrey. I'd love them. Would wear them on the garden (think a lot of garden), jump in car for the last one's school runs, potter into the coffee shop at the St Cassien Roundabout in Wimbledon Village for morning coffee. Wouldn't wear them to school drinks in the evening.

Great improvement over Fit flops, birkies, etc.

Florathefern · 08/10/2016 20:05

I like the style. I've been eyeing up a pair of plain leather ones. But it is the wrong season for them.

I don't like the colour of the shoes posted.

gunting · 08/10/2016 20:06

I love them! Keep them if you love them too

sodabreadjam · 08/10/2016 20:07

They look a bit like slippers.

Sorry to be boring and practical but I think they would be quite hard to keep on outdoors.

But I am quite old so I might have it all wrong.

OhFuckOff · 08/10/2016 20:08

I love them too! I would even wear them with tights, so long as you like them you will rock them

BummyMummy77 · 08/10/2016 20:10

Not with tights! Fucking HELLFIRE no!!!!

paxillin · 08/10/2016 20:11

Hercules Poirot's bedroom slippers.

colouringinagain · 08/10/2016 20:12

I think they're ok! Like catdogcat said skinny jeans and a leather jacket would be cool!

PotatoBread · 08/10/2016 20:12

Thankfully I think your feet would
Slip out of them very quickly if you wore them with tights so not many people
Would be inflicted with the sight of them Grin

ToffeeForEveryone · 08/10/2016 20:13

I was hoping I could look like this."

Yes, but she looks like she is wearing slippers

Sorry OP, they look like something a slightly "trendy" nan would wear.

OhFuckOff · 08/10/2016 20:15

bummy Grin

SansasEscape · 08/10/2016 20:16

No tights, don't worry. Strictly skinny trousers/jeans only.

OP posts:
neveradullmoment99 · 08/10/2016 20:16

No No NO to tights with them.
I think they are quite nice but not for where i live. Its mostly wet here. I don't think the lady in the picture looks silly.
