Do you think these shoes are horrendous?

[BadMoodBoard]

I don't know what it is about me but I can't wear heels. Despite being in my late 40s, somehow I look like a kid wearing her mum's shoes. Flats don't look good on me because I am only 5.1". I am a size 10, probably a little podgy now after the excesses of the last few weeks, and I just look silly in delicate shoes. I pretty much wear boots all the time but I like wearing ankle trousers, and boots don't look good with those. I am therefore looking for a shoe that gives me height, but without looking like I'm wearing high heels. Would welcome opinions on these: www.amazon.co.uk/Fly-London-Yaz-Mousse-Womens/dp/B00J9C1Y6Y/ref=sr_1_3?psc=1&keywords=fly%2Blondon%2Byaz&th=1&tag=mumsnetforum-21&ie=UTF8&qid=1547567642&sr=8-3

you all are I mean

does a decent platform wedge exist?

Not a fan here either.

Thanks 1hello2hello I've just ordered those Kurt geiger boots in wine. I really need to avoid s&b for the sake of my credit card bill!

I had flu boots and almost broke my ankle on a regular basis. May be just be. I doubt id.buy those op

They're lovely those boots crime although if I like them it might mean they're ugly...

Truly hideous op. What WERE you thinking?????

They're appalling OP.

You are funny OP

How about loafers or brogues with cropped trousers. You can get an inch or so of heel. M&S have some nice cheap ones, dark red patent loafers and gun metal brogues last time I looked.

I’m not a wedge lover at all but what about this style? Suede/suedette might be less in your face than the ones you’ve linked to.

I also saw some loafers last year with a really thick sole. Kind of platform loafers, they were nice.

Personally I hate wedges. But those new look ones aren't too bad.

Hideous!! They look like they've been prescribed as an orthopaedic aid!

@Truckingonandon, what do you mean WERE? So far S&B Mumsnetters have not saved me from myself...

I quite like your original ones OP - but they're far too high for me so could never wear them and I'm not sure they go with ankle length trousers. Absolutely dumbfounded by the suggestion to look at Clarks or even Hotter for more 'stylish' options though .

Jesus Christ OP no

Oh no. Truly ugly. Sorry

OP, love, no

First pair are horrifying

My granny had the first ones

She had hideous style.

Okay okay, I think you have convinced me. How about these:

I just don’t get Fly London shoes.

They look like they’re trying not to be orthopaedic shoes and failing miserably.

Sorry OP both are horrendous

Glad we've convinced you.
I@'m generally an 'each to their own' kind of person, but they really are grim.

The last ones you have linked to ar a million times better.

You're having a giraffe. Gotta be.

The feet are practically flat in these but the platform gives height
