Am I very hormonal or are these shoes lovely

I can’t decide if these shoes are amazing or 70 year old on a cruise ship hideous. Help!

My Nan has loads of shoes like that for her cruises she says she gets lots of compliments when she wears them.

I think they would look nice with the right outfit, pale blue jeans, cropped wide leg and a white shirt maybe? I love these from the Anthropologie sale.

I’m generally a fan of fugly shoes and I own many a fugly shoe, but those are even a step to far for me (no pun intended).

I think it’s the combination of the shiny gold and the woven part topped with a horse bit that’s a bit too much - maybe just the horse bit. I’m not a fan of them in general as a shoe decoration.

Oh my love. No.

GlitterPixie · 17/02/2019 02:34

They are vile

I love your description. I bought something similar last year and my dm described them the same way. She said I looked like
I'd stepped off a river cruise.
Dp hated them too. I thought they were so bad they were good.
They've since disappeared in mysterious circumstances which tells you everything about how hated they were by everyone.

VeniVidiViciTwice · 17/02/2019 02:46

Oh my! 70 year old on a cruise ship definitely!

Fetching · 17/02/2019 02:46

They're very 'I want Gucci, but I can't afford Gucci'

(I definitely can't afford Gucci and I also think these are lounge lizard lothario shoes),

DramaAlpaca · 17/02/2019 03:18

My 82 year old mother goes on lots of cruises & she wouldn't wear them.

Justagirlwholovesaboy · 17/02/2019 03:24

I would rather wear bin bags on my feet, hope the hormones calm down 😂

nancybelle · 17/02/2019 11:31

Ok, they are scrubbed from the list, even though I still have a wee hankering for them but wannabe Gucci Spanish criminal fraternity very old pensioner with a penchant for cruise ships isn’t really the look I am after. Thank you one and all for your shared horror of the shoes.

Agree with pps. Sorry but they are hideous

They are a bit Sex in the City, crossed with cruise ship

MrsSup · 17/02/2019 14:49

My 70-something, cruise-going mother would be offended by your suggestion.

sagradafamiliar · 17/02/2019 15:28

They're like every other pair of Gucci rip offs from last summer, guess they'll be big this year as well. I hate gold so it's a no from me

ElloBrian · 17/02/2019 15:31

Oh my word.

BedraggledBlitz · 17/02/2019 15:33

They're great

if you want to be a walking homage to Peter Stringfellow.

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 17/02/2019 15:35

Oh dear me, some of the comments on this thread have been laugh out loud funny Grin

thinkingcapon · 17/02/2019 15:36

I love them. Never ask for an opinion on here for anything fashion related. If you don't buy them, I will! X

FadedRed · 17/02/2019 15:40

Ooh they’re lovely, Op.......

Whereareyouspot · 17/02/2019 15:40

The only 70 year old cruise ship attendee I know is my dad so I can ask if he likes them and we can go from there......
