Wear with shift dresses over the summer. I like these but OH thinks they may be old lady.

Old lady. Sorry

MerryMarigold · 13/05/2017 22:12

They look quite narrow. If you have good feet, go for it.

MyfatheristheKing · 13/05/2017 22:13

Old lady

HappyLollipop · 13/05/2017 22:14

Yep those are definitely old lady shoes. My nana would've wore those if she was still here!

EmNetta · 13/05/2017 22:14

Old ladies (like me) don't generally wear metallic shoes in daytime, so you'd be quite safe in these.

Highalert · 13/05/2017 22:15

I don't think they are old lady. I like them. Maybe I'm an old lady though.

pinkhorse · 13/05/2017 22:15

My nan wouldn't even wear these. Sorry

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 13/05/2017 22:15

Oh dear. They are not nice. Sorry.

AntagonyAunt · 13/05/2017 22:16

shamoffour · 13/05/2017 22:16

AntagonyAunt · 13/05/2017 22:18

Oh goodness, old lady.

Catherine0317 · 13/05/2017 22:21

Yup have to agree... old lady 👵

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 13/05/2017 22:22

How about the Clarks clogs? They are v nice.

twostepsister · 13/05/2017 22:23

It's the shiny buttons that are strange, if you removed them it wouldn't be so bad. What about these from Clarks

IamnotaStepfordHousewife · 13/05/2017 22:23

The sort my mum would wear and she's over 60. I'm in my 30's and wouldn't so depends on your age.

10stonestolose · 13/05/2017 22:24

I have to agree, they're not good. if you need a casual smart type sandal, what about something like this from Office?

Still reserved without being old lady.

Not better, sorry.

Clogs

Nettletheelf · 14/05/2017 01:04

They are both terrible. Sorry OP. Both appear to have been designed to take you from the afternoon tea dance on board a P&O cruise to dinner at the captain's table. In other words, they have been designed for the over-65 woman who wants to look a bit 'jazzy'.
