OK, mystery mouse.

If I have an opinion at all, it would be to suggest that they're a little .. pedestrian.

ChippyMinton · 08/06/2007 14:17

You deserve comfy feet - if you like them that's all that matters.

At least they are not crocs

LIZS · 08/06/2007 14:18

why run anywhere ??

mamama · 08/06/2007 14:18

I like the pink. They look good - very comfy.

LynetteScavo · 08/06/2007 14:20

Just to clarify, it's the 3rd link you've got?

My mother taught me if I didn't have any thing nice to say, not to say anything at all.

brimfull · 08/06/2007 14:21

third link in fuschia

They look very comfortable

InternationalMouseOfMystery · 08/06/2007 14:23

arf at lynette

but where would mn be if we all thought like that, eh?

Listmaker · 08/06/2007 14:24

Definite frumpy tendancies I'm afraid!

Crocs rule!

expatinscotland · 08/06/2007 14:25

Sorry, but I find them fugly.

brimfull · 08/06/2007 14:25

just shows never ask for opinion if you've already bought arf!

god no. what were you thinking?

Sherbert37 · 08/06/2007 14:30

Well I bought some very similar ones in Clarks called, wait for it, Pammie Doll. They are so comfortable I did DS1's paper round in them yesterday while he is living it up in Switzerland on his school trip. Sandal wearers unite.

JetPeanut · 08/06/2007 14:37

Don't much like the sandals, sorry. But then I have terrible dress sense.

Here's a definition of a Soccer Mom

nomdeplume · 08/06/2007 14:38

very old lady imo

expatinscotland · 08/06/2007 14:40

A soccer mom would never wear sandals like that.

Sorry, but I'm from Soccer Mom Capital of the US.

nomdeplume · 08/06/2007 14:40

isn't soccer mom a bit like a grown up WAG ?

expatinscotland · 08/06/2007 14:43

No, a WAG is too English. And a WAG would never wear Keds or Crocs or the prepster gear a Soccer Mom would wear.

Or khaki slacks.

Bree Van de Kamp is more like a soccer mom.

InternationalMouseOfMystery · 08/06/2007 14:45

soccer mum (i believe) would be terribly enthusiastic about supporting offspring's athletic pursuits

attend all matches with perfect hair and nails

all teethful smiles and wearing smart leeeeeesure wear

InternationalMouseOfMystery · 08/06/2007 14:45

kind of like cod

expatinscotland · 08/06/2007 14:46

If you haven't lived there, it's very hard to understand what a Soccer Mom truly is.

It'd be like trying to define a WAG to Canadian mountain climbing guide.

expatinscotland · 08/06/2007 14:47

But I can tell you, she wouldn't be wearing those fugly sandals in a million years.

InTheWillows · 08/06/2007 14:50

at cod soccor mom!

ggirl - er, sorry, but they are fugly

Spider · 08/06/2007 14:50

They look nice to me. You'd need well painted toenails to eradicate any old lady overtones.

I wore crocs on the school run yesterday. I thought I'd be fine but when I got there I was mortified. It was as if everyone was staring at my feet in utter disbelief.

I won't do it again. Unless, that is, there are loads of crocs wearers coming out of the woodwork following on from my bold statement - which I doubt.

Spider · 08/06/2007 14:52

A subtle ankle bracelet or toe ring would also indicate that these are inuit-chic and not footglove, Saga-stylee.
