Those hairy court shoes look like they are lint rollers, chasing round after animals.

Vitalogy · 13/08/2018 22:24

I've seen a few women walking around with these type, they're slippers aren't they. The first thing I thought, practical me, what happens in the rain Confused

Somebody should phone Meg Matthews. She was so desperate to wear her Uggs in summer she was pictured in a bikini on the beach in them.

These howfers tick all her boxes.

Goodness, I thought the minge comment was a humourous exaggeration. Then I clicked the link....

Very... individual.

All Birkenstocks are ugly.

Sorry.

ImNotReallyAWaitress · 14/08/2018 20:19

I see your ugly shoes and raise you these;

I have these and live in them. I am not ashamed one bit Grin

CamberwellNichols · 14/08/2018 20:38

Oops. What happened there! I mean these sg.carousell.com/p/puma-x-rihanna-fenty-leadcat-furry-fluffy-sliders-103913058/

They're so comfy. I wear them to work. I really don't care what people think I love all of the 'bring your cat to work today mate' jokes they're amusing!

Clionba · 14/08/2018 20:41

Camberwell yours are not the worst. At least they have a bit of elegance. But the hairy court shoes! Just grim.
The Birkenstocks company should be taken to The Hague for crimes against humanity.
Those Irregular Choice types are worn by a colleague of mine who also sports glitter ankle socks, gingham dresses and cardis with cats on.

Clionba · 14/08/2018 20:42

Oh. Not the Puma ones Confused
The high heeled ones aren't so bad somehow.

CamberwellNichols · 14/08/2018 20:43

@Clionba okay, the BStocks are vile Grin It just reminded me of my shoes as they're a running joke at work. One was stolen once and stroked in a Dr Evil-esque manner. I'm all for ugly weird fashions though!

BitOutOfPractice · 14/08/2018 20:44

I loathe Irregular Choice shoes and the people who wear them thinking it makes them interesting and quirky. It doesn't.

CamberwellNichols · 14/08/2018 20:44

Oh yes @Clionba the puma ones! You will literally not ever make me hate them. Everyone I know has tried Grin

CamberwellNichols · 14/08/2018 20:45

@BitOutOfPractice oh you'd hate me!

Clionba · 14/08/2018 20:46

Camberwell at least you're entertaining your colleagues!!
Many years ago I saw Princess Diana's wedding dress on display. The shoes, though! Horror. They certainly matched the dress.

Clionba · 14/08/2018 20:47

Ok, I'm getting pop up adverts now for Irregular Choice Angry this isn't funny, Internet people

BitOutOfPractice · 14/08/2018 20:53

Probably Camberwell, probably Grin

But seriously, why do you feel that these shoes make you interesting? They just don't really. What is it you like about them?

CamberwellNichols · 14/08/2018 21:39

@BitOutOfPractice I don't think they make me interesting at all. They're so comfy. I love them. They're totally my style and I would live in festival clothes all year round if I could. But I honestly don't care what people think, as opposed to those who wear certain clothes because they care TOO MUCH what people think. If that makes sense Smile

Clionba · 14/08/2018 21:45

True!! Go for it! At least they're comfy. Those Irregular Choice ones look uncomfortable, to add injury to insult.
I'm at the time of life where I can only bear comfy shoes, sadly I can't wear hairy Puma sliders to work Grin

MrsDc7 · 14/08/2018 21:49

Minge mules. I am literally done. Grin

DollyDayScream · 14/08/2018 22:06

I was ready to defend the clunky aesthetic of Birkenstocks, but those are fugly.

ShirleyPhallus · 14/08/2018 22:10

Gotta agree that irregular choice shoes are just awful - but then my number 1 hate on s&b is the default suggestion that anyone over a size 14 goes for Lindy Bop or 50s dresses complete with victory rolls and red lippy and irregular choice shoes. As if they won’t already look ridiculous enough trussed up like a fancy dress Grease act

Clionba · 14/08/2018 22:13

ShirleyPhallus GrinGrin a fancy dress Greased act! How true. As if you have to weigh 8 stone to wear any style after 1958.

Hangingaroundtheportal · 14/08/2018 22:15

Minge mules! 😂 They are not the best Tbf.

I love Irregular Choice shoes and it always makes me laugh how polarising they are! I don't really give a fuck if people are judging me when I am wearing mine Smile
