at that price i think you SHOULD wear them every day

oliveoil · 03/05/2007 11:49

oh I saw some LOVELY ones in there

will see if I can link

nobody likes my shoes so you can laugh

pickledpear · 03/05/2007 11:50

DP are the best take yours back and go to primark

nailpolish · 03/05/2007 11:50

i fmy dh bought me posh sandals i would be over the moon, up to him if he wants to spend that on me

KEEP THEM!

Carmenere · 03/05/2007 11:51

I'm telling you Havianas are the ONLY flip-flops to wear. 180 million Brazilians can't be wrong!!!

CuriousSquid · 03/05/2007 11:51

you could prob get the same (or at least similar) in primark tbh

saltire · 03/05/2007 11:54

What a nice DP you must have, If my DH had seen the price tag he would have walked out the shop and taken me to Matalan to kit everyone out for the same price!.

I'm not keen on either pair TBH (sorry) but if I had to choose I'd pick your DP's ones

ThomCat · 03/05/2007 11:54

I prefer these ones from R&B

oliveoil · 03/05/2007 11:55

not sure if this will work

now they don't look that good there but there is a scrolling pic at the side with a blonde model reclining on sand wearing them

oliveoil · 03/05/2007 11:55

snap TC!

Whoooosh · 03/05/2007 11:56

I like those Thomcat hmmmmm

Dp excelling herself at the mo as is taking me out to lunch.

Back later for further views or what I could swap them for.

Get a pair each and you can have hers and hers...

franca70 · 03/05/2007 12:14

180 million brasilians wear havaianas because they probably cost not more than 3 pounds a pair... here 19.99, frankly, what a rip off!

franca70 · 03/05/2007 12:18

or you could have this for only 325!

Pannacotta · 03/05/2007 12:37

Cant say I rate the Havaianas, bought a piair last year and they are fine but not super comfy. Prefer my gold Madrid birkies...But there are lots of pretty/glam flip flops out there for reasonable prices...

Whoooosh · 03/05/2007 15:25

Blimey Franca-at least mine have a bit of bling and could be described as sandals-those really are only flip flops!

OP posts:
franca70 · 03/05/2007 16:04

exactly!

noddyholder · 03/05/2007 16:05

i love the bottom ones but not the others

Pixiefish · 03/05/2007 16:08

i'd keep them if your dp bought them for you.

heifer · 03/05/2007 16:11

I like your ones, you should definately keep them.

Do not like your DP ones, they look like someone has put a belt around the sole of a shoe...

PeterAndreFanCLub · 03/05/2007 16:11

tc those are vile

Whoooosh · 03/05/2007 16:12

ooooh-opinions divided here but fair to say I think fewer people dislike them than like them.....

OP posts:
Whoooosh · 03/05/2007 21:17

OK-last opinions sought before I go back to Brent Cross tomorrow-keep them or change them?

OP posts:
littlelemon · 03/05/2007 21:32

Hmm, keep them.
They will probably last forever (or a few years) if you take care of them, and when are you ever going to get another pair of £125 sandals?
If you didn't buy them then don't think about how much they cost.
If you regret it then you will know never to get such an expensive pair again.

BTW, make sure you pretty-up your feet when wearing them...such lovely shoes deserve lovely feet!

Whoooosh · 03/05/2007 21:37

I have awful shaped feet but I do ensure they are always gel-pedicured permanently.
