2nd pair lovely. 1st ones I have no words. Even a supermodel couldn't make these good or cool in any way. But... It's your feet. Be brave, go forth & buy the ugly ones as a statement.

Tartyflette · 19/05/2018 11:53

The second pair are lovely -- summery and elegant. And would look good with jeans, shorts or a long floaty skirt.
hopes OP gets then instead

Kezzamo · 19/05/2018 11:59

Omg this really made me chuckle! Op I think you should consult Mumsnet before you buy anything! First pair truly horrendous! Second pair lovely 😊

SuperSuperSuper · 19/05/2018 13:01

I like the second pair. I don't think that even Kate Moss would look good in the first pair.

Thanks everyone. I've ordered both and will decide which to keep when I get them.

I still really like the green ones though Grin

Ta-dah! Here are the 2nd choice sandals. They look a bit green to me Confused not very like the image on the website. Still excitedly awaiting delivery of my first choice horrors.

The 2nd pair is better. If you are into fugly sandals Clarks are doing a classic Jesus style in bronze (marginally improved by being bronze imo)
They are proper old school sandals, when I saw them I had flashbacks to my mum making me wear s plastic morhercare version when I was 7 - which I hated-but each to their own OP!

TodoDoingDone · 22/05/2018 18:29

I normally stay out of sandal gate threads but those painted toe nails look great and deserve to be framed by something beautiful ! The sandals in the photo look fantastic on you. Now we'll want a photo of you wearing pair 1, pleeeeeease!

Vitalogy · 22/05/2018 19:09

I'm not keen on those OP.

Deichmann have a good selection/prices.

I think they are super cool but the colour could be awkward. Would look tees chic with cropped wide fit linen trousers with a boxy linen top or a boxy Bretton tucked in at the waist band.

Racecardriver · 22/05/2018 19:33

Trouser would have to be white of course

AsAProfessionalFekko · 22/05/2018 19:38

White? Are you kidding??! White is a disaster for me (mucky bugger!).

Battleax · 22/05/2018 19:39

I think I like them. It’s the soles that are a bit marmite; they could tip to looking orthopaedic pited with the wrong thing.

Battleax · 22/05/2018 19:40

Paired not pited.

pigpoglet · 22/05/2018 19:53

There's a reason they are in the sale 🤣🤣

ILikeyourHairyHands · 23/05/2018 00:14

I actually had a dream about your sandals OP, so profoundly did they affect me.

It wasn't good.

Another one crying laughing at this thread :o

I'm also a fugly sandal lover and wear sandals that make many a friend look at me quizzically but even I would not wear the Green Nun sandals.

It's the toe end – it's the perfect frumpy shapeless shape beloved among the 80-plus. And the overlapping woven bit, and the raised back bit on the ankle strap, and the pairing of that green with that beige sole inner instead of a dark brown, that all scream nun sandal alert!

How about some art ones - still flat and comfy but slightly off nun territory and more towards lentil weaver?

I lust after these myself!

MartinRohdesBellybuttonFluff · 25/05/2018 08:28

Thank you for the lovely suggestions so far and the compliment my nail polish (my feet are ugly though DH calls me Frodo)!

Right, they've arrived. Please don't be too cruel Blush and excuse the pyjamas....
