Talk me into or out of Palamairas

[mickeymacca]

So I've been eyeing up a pair of these bad boys for a while but have been put off by we people saying they don't stay on their feet. I've seen some of their styles now have an ankle strap which I don't usually like to wear as it can make legs look shorter. So what do you reckon to Palmairas?

I've got 9 pairs 🙊🙊🙊

They go with everything 😝

I got some cheap ones on holiday. They are very flat and the strap does not stay on. Feel uneasy walking downstairs in them so only use them for going into the garden.

Ooh I need a pic of those disappointed ☺

Swedishedith were they actually Palmairas? I'm considering the low wedge

No, but they look exactly the same.

The wedges look nice. For comparison, I can't wear ballet shoes as they're too flat for me and my feet just lift out of those when I walk.

Had to google the style - oh, it's those!

I have a couple of pairs of the Avarca (?) brand from TK Maxx. I love them and I have huge problems keeping ballet flats on my feet. So it's a yes from me. But I prefer to pay much less than forty quid.

I’ve got a wedge pair and the strap stays on fine. They’re tan coloured and the leather scuffs/scratches quite easily imo.

I love mine, I have quite a few pairs that I bought in Menorca I find them really comfortable.

I bought a pair of the leather low wedges last year and I love them. I walked miles and miles in them and they were so comfortable straight away. I'm planning to get the tan nubuck this year.

I have a pair of the low wedges in the gold glitter. Very comfy and no issues with them staying on. Even wore them on an xmas do with black skinnies

i had to google as well-and this chat came up in the search

I think very cute but I have sturdy peasant ankles-despite having reasonably slim legs-so not sure if they'd suit me-
any other sturdy ankles out there wearing them?

I am extremely cankle-y and they're grand. There's nothing to cut off your foot so have a rather slimming effect.

They are very flat, and do a slap-slap noise as you walk. The strap slips off mine, andcthey scuffed quickly. However, they go with shorts, dresses cropped pants so very versatile. I got a gold pair and initially was delighted but ended up disappointed. Personally I wouldn't bother with another pair.

There are lots of versions about just now, you don’t need to pay as much as £40 if you’re not sure about them.
These look pretty good, are available in loads of colours and are £25.

Oh ffs. I had no idea what these were.

Now I need them too. In either a metallic or a leopard print.

Mine were £20 in tmaxx last year.

Years ago stayed in quiet place in Spain with youth club ( cheap booze). The youngsters all wore them with strap tucked to the front so like slip ons with xtra strap .Stayed on much better tho strap edge bit rough to start- sorted with nail file.Worn mine like that since!

How good are they with plantar fasciitis? Fit flops are ok for me, but not Birkenstocks.

No good at all v thin soles!

I did think that might be the case, but I was hopefully as they look lovely. Thank you.

Never heard of them. Just had a browse now £45 poorer!

Thanks guys great responses 👍 I'm still not sure I want to pay that much particularly as there are about 4 pairs I want 😳 😁
