Are these 'old lady' sandals?

[PingPongBat]

Been wanting some flat metallic sandals for ages, but I haven't been able to find any which (a) are my size (9E), & (b) fit without digging into my toes/ankles. I need them to cover up the front of my foot, so can't buy thin strappy ones and I can't wear heels, apart from low wedges.

In desperation I've got these from Gabor - they are really comfortable & I like the colour, but I suspect they might be old lady shoes - am I right?

Quite frankly so long as they fit and are comfortable I wouldn't give a toss about what other people think op 😃
I'm probably almost an old lady I'm at the age where footwear has to be comfortable, I have a high instep, narrow feet with long toes, buying shoes and sandals is a nightmare.

They look fine to me

And Gabor are so well made and comfy

You'll wear them every day

(I am an old lady I guess, at almost 50 )

WTF Luglio are you for real? Is that meant to be funny or ironic? It failed.

Try Ecco size 42....

I like them and I'm 34 and semi trendy 😂

It's quite clear that Luglio is being ironic, given the ageist twattery coming from all corners. You know, substitute the word "old lady" for the word "Jewish/black" etc and then see if you sound like a cunt.

I bet almost everyone who has said they're horrid has those foul Saltwater things that are product placed onto S&B every summer.

They're not Menorcan , the Menorcan ones cover more of your foot.

I think they look good. But I quite like the traditional sandal look.

Caveat: I just got a pair of Hotter Tourist sandals in zebra in the post today, which I love, so my opinion probably counts for nothing.

Minimising anti-Semitism to put it in the same basket as ageism. Everyone ages.

If the Hadid sisters wore them nobody would think they were old ladyish.
I've seen lots of so called stylish , fashionable stuff that I think is hideous. I'm looking at you furry Gucci slip ons.

Wear with panache

They are truly awful!

With that list of requirements you’ve done well. They’re more 40+ than old lady I think. I don’t know any old ladies who would wear a backless mule...

Oh and I’m also under 30. I think they’re relatively stylish

My mum has these. She’s 78.

Yes

They're a bit 'nuns in the sun' with all the foot coverage they give, but they're fairly unnoticeable. I have some Hotter tourist sandals as a pp does, so who am I to judge? Comfort rules.

I quite like them but you should probably take my user name into account

As an alternative you could try some classic Birkenstocks... these might fit the bill? www.rubbersole.co.uk/mobile/Birkenstock-MADRID-x7109285.php

Vile.

What about Saltwaters?

The Hadid sisters would look good in a sack though.

Old ladyish imo I'm afraid.

What about birkenstocks?

Thrill shoes lol

I think it’s the combination of having high foot coverage/ being sturdy and also being metallic. If they were in a nice bright colour they wouldn’t look quite so frumpy.

A little bit... but to be fair, if you like them and they are comfortable, who gives a flying fart about what other people think?

Really not a fan I’m afraid.

I think they look fine!
