Bought them year ago and haven't taken them out of the box yet. What do you think?

They're navy btw, or at least mine are.

If you're off to hike a mountain, fine. Otherwise no no no no!

MeanTangerine · 03/06/2018 15:50

Wot unintentional said ^

BryanAdamsLeftAnkle · 03/06/2018 15:50

Errrr ok if you are in your late 60s. If younger...I'm not keen. A couple of older ladies at my church wear those or similar in summer

MsHomeSlice · 03/06/2018 15:50

if you are off to hike a mountain AGED 75 then fine. Otherwise more no no no no!

SadieHH · 03/06/2018 15:51

Bollocks. That's what I feared. Not 75 and hate mountains and walking

If you're walking miles they would be appropriate, but not for normal day wear.

SadieHH · 03/06/2018 15:54

Oh well. On the plus side that's my mum's birthday pressie sorted Grin

Sister Wendy wouldn’t be seen dead in those sandals, let’s alone anyone else.

HRTpatch · 03/06/2018 16:01

Dear god they are grim.
I see why they have not seen the light of day Smile

makeupmaven · 03/06/2018 16:03

A little orthopaedic! Sorry, OP.

Guiltypleasures001 · 03/06/2018 16:05

Don't forget the naveyness of them as well
Leave em in the garden to get darked on or stolen 😁

SadieHH · 03/06/2018 16:12

That's er...pretty unanimous then?

happypoobum · 03/06/2018 16:13

Nope

AnnabelleLecter · 03/06/2018 16:18

Put them back in the box.

AnnabelleLecter · 03/06/2018 16:18

Then bury it.

Gilhooley123 · 03/06/2018 16:24

OH NOOOO 😳

I have a pair are soooooooooo comfortable 😂

HoldMeCloserTonyDanza · 03/06/2018 16:26

I wouldn’t even wear them hiking because they look so sweaty!

bubbles108 · 03/06/2018 16:26

I can see the benefits as they look dead comfy. But they're not stylish imo. Nor pink 😂

Madbengalmum · 03/06/2018 16:27

Horrid!

gingercat02 · 03/06/2018 16:27

My mum is 76 and would rather be barefoot than wear those. I only just persuaded her into Sketchers and she still not 100% convinced they aren't old ladys shoes. I would wear those for walking or gardening but no where else

Branleuse · 03/06/2018 16:30

my mum would wear those. Shes nearly 70.
I would consider them for summer hiking, and nothing else

peachypetite · 03/06/2018 16:31

Hideous

I love sandal threads on S&B 😂😂😂..the one liners and one word comments are the best!

I’ve had my fair share of burns on here with my choice of sandals. I don’t even wear sandals anymore! 😂😂

ZaZathecat · 03/06/2018 17:07

Well I don't love them, but they're pretty similar to all the Tevas that are regularly praised to the skies on MN.
