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?

If you like them then rock them :D

I have shoes like these, but in different colors, mine are in very neutral colors....

How would one run for the bus in those without leaving them behind? Smile

Don't like the colour. Not keen on the style.

Tarttlet · 08/10/2016 20:21

I like them - they're the sort of shoes I imagine Florence Welch wears Grin

NeedABanner · 08/10/2016 20:23

At least they were an inexpensive mistake 😬

diddl · 08/10/2016 20:24

I quite like them

But then again, I did go shopping for Chelsea boots today & came back with grey shiny brogues!

iminshock · 08/10/2016 20:24

They'd look great on some people

leccybill · 08/10/2016 20:25

I'd maybe wear them in hospital.

Not sure about the 'vomit' colourway though.

SansasEscape · 08/10/2016 20:26

I've decided I like 'em.

14 - 17 degrees is sock weather for me.

Chippednailvarnishing · 08/10/2016 20:28

Good. Just don't go out in the rain!

Destinysdaughter · 08/10/2016 20:29

They look like someone has been decorating in them!

CrazyNameCrazyGuy · 08/10/2016 20:33

Having seen all the comments I was expecting something like this:

thumbs.ebaystatic.com/images/m/mdI9hVovYiVGyjtR7cC2zSQ/s-l225.jpg

Relieved to see they are fairly normal in the grand scheme of things.

I'd wear them as slippers but not as shoes.

QueenLizIII · 08/10/2016 20:35

I wouldnt wear them but if you like them that is all that matters.

maggiethemagpie · 08/10/2016 21:03

Not a fan but each to their own

JohnCheese · 08/10/2016 21:18

Like 'em.

Kabex · 08/10/2016 21:20

I like them but personally couldn't pull them off

Littlebee76 · 08/10/2016 22:04

I like them but then I'm a young 40 who likes to be a little fashion chic and not boring safe type fashion. --

I think so long as you pair them with skinny trousers or jeans slightly turned up with crisp white/nude or black tops, you'll be fine.

I'm on a loafer thread and hardly anyone likes my choice either so who knows! Maybe don't take my advice :)

swissy56 · 08/10/2016 22:12

Nope they look like something Richard E Grant might lounge around in.

mudandmayhem01 · 08/10/2016 22:16

I think something Richard E Grant would lounge around in is a positive, love them!

swissy56 · 08/10/2016 22:21

Yes but not in a Wetherspoons in Derby darling.

Goldenvalley · 08/10/2016 22:21

Richard E Grant! Haha!

SansasEscape · 08/10/2016 22:21

I'm in Dalston, don't worry swissy!

FunkinEll · 08/10/2016 22:27

I like them and they'll be fine in Dalston.

You'd need to get an uber if you missed the 42 bus though, no running!
