I can’t make up my mind. What kind of image do you think they are / would suit?

I like them but you'd need to have perfect feet, which I don't.

cardoon · 04/08/2018 15:46

Also like them, agree you need good feet - where they from?

Paintbox · 04/08/2018 15:50

Thanks. I like them but I can’t work out what kind of vibe they give off though. Do they look cheap, expensive, middle ground? Do they look fashionable? Or do they look comfortable and unstylish?
I’ll say where they’re from later, I just want some views first, sorry! I think where things are from often colours peoples views.

I get you - they look a little safe but robust, pretty and practical at the same time - are they fitflops?

Ellapaella · 04/08/2018 15:54

I like them. They would certainly be very versatile as they would go with almost anything.

Ellapaella · 04/08/2018 15:55

They don't look mega expensive, purely because the sole looks like plastic but it wouldn't put me off tbh.

AllPizzasGreatAndSmall · 04/08/2018 15:58

They are Fitflops

Thanks for that allpizzas. Did you read the part where I said I would like opinions before saying where they were from?

Mercurial123 · 04/08/2018 16:08

They look like FitFlops so no surprise where they are from. They are OK nothing really to dislike about them. They aren't really fashionable though.

Paintbox · 04/08/2018 16:20

Not the point.
Thanks to those who gave opinions

AllPizzasGreatAndSmall · 04/08/2018 17:15

Why didn't you just ask if people thought they were nice, rather than what kind of image do they suit?
They look like Fitflops, because they are. So they look like they'd be worn by someone who likes comfy shoes with a nod to fashion maybe.

Paintbox · 04/08/2018 17:23

Because I can ask what question I like allpizzas. You went to the trouble to find the link and post it after I said I didn’t want to say where they were from. That, I don’t understand.

Nuffaluff · 04/08/2018 17:27

They are lovely. I never would have guessed they are fit flops.

Nuffaluff · 04/08/2018 17:29

They are pretty and don’t look comfortable (although they must be, because Fitflops!).
Therefore the perfect sandal.

whiskyremorse · 04/08/2018 17:32

I think that they look lovely and stylish, a bit more delicate than most fitflops. As a fitflop wearer!

Paintbox · 04/08/2018 18:04

Thanks nuff and whiskey!

OP posts:
IWouldLikeToKnow · 04/08/2018 19:16

I my mind they would have looked more stylish with a thinner sole and possibly thinner straps. It's the sole that puts me off

Paintbox · 04/08/2018 19:19

Yes I know what you mean. The thong part is very similar to a very stylish (imo) and expensive Ancient Greek sandals but they have completely flat and hard soles. I can’t walk on soles like that without discomfort sadly. The ones I posted look a lot more comfy. It just seems that all fashionable really stylish samdals have completely flat soles and the addition of a slightly padded footbed throws the whole look off slightly. I wish I knew the answer. I think I’m going to try these ones and see what they’re like in the flesh

OP posts:
IHaveBrilloHair · 04/08/2018 21:48

Expensive ancient Greek sandals?

Sorry OP but that is funny.Grin

nzeire · 04/08/2018 21:53

G strings for the feet, I think that style shoe is AWFUL!

AllPizzasGreatAndSmall · 04/08/2018 22:36

You went to the trouble to find the link and post it after I said I didn’t want to say where they were from. That, I don’t understand.

I actually found the link for cardoon after they asked where they were from, but got distracted and didn't post for a few minutes so hadn't read your follow up post, so was trying to be helpful to them, not to 'out' you.

Fleuried · 04/08/2018 23:12

I like them but the soles are a bit thick and I'm self conscious of my feet (stupid!) so wouldn't wear them.

neveradullmoment99 · 05/08/2018 00:49

Thanks for that allpizzas. Did you read the part where I said I would like opinions before saying where they were from?

Its a pair of sandals. A bit harsh imo. Turned out it was an honest mistake.

The sandals are ok. Nothing special. Wouldnt have guessed they were fit flops.

BubblesBuddy · 05/08/2018 06:08

Who worries about “outing” a pair of sandals? What a weird world we live in.

beingthere · 05/08/2018 06:22

Yes, honest mistakes but the way that it read didn’t seem like that until pizza admitted they hadn’t read the thread.

I understand why the OP didn’t want to say the make.

I think they are elegant OP and as remarked, i think you’d need great feet to do them justice!
