Possibly more Abigail’s Party than frumpy...

ferrier · 15/05/2018 23:14

Frumpy.

DaisyChainsForever · 15/05/2018 23:15

I'm not a fan.

SayImADreamer · 15/05/2018 23:17

Dont do it

Tanfastic · 15/05/2018 23:23

I’d say so

DameXanaduBramble · 15/05/2018 23:25

Eek - extremely. Sorry.

Aeroflotgirl · 16/05/2018 00:00

Yep sorry, my nan had some like them, and she was in her 80s at the time.

WowserBowser · 16/05/2018 00:04

Yes

TheFaerieQueene · 16/05/2018 00:06

Bluntness100 · 17/05/2018 19:04

To be fair, the pic you posted makes them look a bit eighties but nicer than they are, you click on the link and the full frumpyness emerges.

Sorry op, it's a no from me, 😔

Floisme · 17/05/2018 19:05

I think of you are 60+ then you are fine
Would you care to tell us why please?

Summerinrome · 17/05/2018 19:05

Cheap looking

elQuintoConyo · 17/05/2018 19:06

A bit boring, sorry.

And that price Shock for a bit of bloody cork Shock

BillywilliamV · 17/05/2018 19:07

I like them....

Tumilnaughts · 17/05/2018 19:11

They look like ones my Mom would wear. She's 58. I wouldn't wear them personally but they're a good brand so if you like them then go for it. Who cares what we, the internet, think. Grin

RavenLG · 17/05/2018 19:14

Bork, no don’t do it!!

TroubledLichen · 17/05/2018 19:19

Cheap and nasty; equally so on a teenager versus an octogenarian. Not sure where this school of thought comes from that they are hideous on a young person but suddenly become an acceptable style choice once you become eligible for a state pension.

An ugly shoe is an ugly shoe. And those are awful. Sorry OP.

TipseyTorvey · 17/05/2018 19:37

I imagine them on a granny with wide feet and flesh spilling through the lattice arrangements - do not buy!

NashvilleQueen · 17/05/2018 19:39

There is nothing remotely nice about them. Regardless of age.
