to bridge the gap between boot and sandal, but when a trainer is just too casual...
Well I found one I love while shopping for school uniform in Matalan!

What do you think?

Not leather so a no from me. Too sweaty!

PuppyMonkey · 08/06/2017 11:25

It's a no from me. Confused

Truckingalong · 08/06/2017 11:27

Truly awful!

MargeryFenworthy · 08/06/2017 11:31

Not for me.

Rockchick1984 · 08/06/2017 11:37

My nan wears shoes like that, sorry!

Rockchick1984 · 08/06/2017 11:38

I'd go for ballet pumps or a patent leather brogue for the occasions you describe.

QueenLaBeefah · 08/06/2017 11:40

Grim

youngestisapsycho · 08/06/2017 11:48

Too pointy for me!

Therealslimshady1 · 08/06/2017 11:49

They look nice on you

If they are comfy, go for it!

junglebookisthebest · 08/06/2017 12:05

The beauty of the internet ;-)
Should remember that - and not take it to heart that my style is verging on grannyish!!!

As a hater of ballet flats and the fact that brogues do not like me, I will be happily wearing these cheapies until a classy leather flat appears in front of me!!!

Aren't your toes all squished?

It's great when you find something you love! Smile

bojorojo · 08/06/2017 13:20

If they were leather they would be great. Dune may have something you like. Their sale has started on line. I like loafers! Its a bit sad posters do not know what a loafer looks like!

PixarLamp · 08/06/2017 13:21

They are truly awful.

BusterGonad · 08/06/2017 14:51

I only wear leather too, I hate the way my feet sweat and smell in non leather!

LoupGarou · 08/06/2017 15:00

I like them, and it wouldn't bother me at all that they're not leather. If I lived in the UK I'd buy some, great price and I love the colour Smile

Mdsremos · 08/06/2017 15:01

Nope too pointy for me but I tend to go for a rounded toe pump type. Not too bothered about leather or not though as I tend to wear more canvas or soft material top so not too bad (nothing a can of foot deodoriser cant sort out)

nina2b · 08/06/2017 17:18

I like them. Pointy shoes are much more attractive than the stumpy round-toed variety. The fact that they are vegetarian shoes is a plus, I'd say. For those who say their feet sweat - ugh - then I suggest you use a spray.

nina2b · 08/06/2017 17:20

I always think round-toes shoes look like hooves whereas pointed shoes look chic and elegant.

nina2b · 08/06/2017 17:20

...round-toed

DanCarterIsMyOtherHusband · 08/06/2017 23:05

How do you get your feet to not sweat? Hmm would love to know Smile

Therealslimshady1 · 09/06/2017 06:42

Spray deodorant, and a bit of talcum powder in the shoe

Easy

BusterGonad · 09/06/2017 10:40

nina2b doesn't everyone's feet smell in plastic shoes??? What's the point in buying cheap shoes if you've got to pay out for foot sprays for the duration of wearing them? No thanks, I'd rather pay more for my shoes, or have less shoes. I think non leather shoes are a false economy.

Oldraver · 09/06/2017 11:19

Too pointy for me..though who am I to complain I bought these

[http://www.boden.co.uk/en-gb/girls-shoes-boots/flats/60034-ros/girls-rose-gold-cat-ballet-flat I know, I know they are childrens shoes]

Redsippycup · 09/06/2017 11:32

I got some like this for work when i was pregnant and too scared and unbalanced to wear my usual heels. They are really comfy and canvas so not sweaty - i wore them with pop socks. Im going to carry on wearing them when i go back, i like them so much!

Oldraver · 09/06/2017 11:44

I quite like those Red...I had some similar embroidered shoes and wore them to death...they wore at the front and the cobblers can't fix them anymore..I have been trying to replace them for the last couple of years..
