Thinking for work. In the grey colour (which is like a minky grey). Or are they too frumpy? They are so comfortable Smile

Haha! Thanks all for your views! I think I'm actually going to keep them. I really like them for some reason. I work in an office but one that's very smart casual and I can definitely get away with these most of the time.

If you are 80 they look lovely.

It's a no from me...sorry

DontCallMeShitley · 09/07/2019 23:58

I am old and I wouldn't wear them, but maybe they look better on a younger person.

lazymare · 10/07/2019 00:03

No, not really.

EnidButton · 10/07/2019 00:27

I don't like the texture of the leather or the colour. But the shape is fine and if they're very comfy then I say keep them. I wouldn't see them on someone I think anything of it, I just wouldn't buy them for myself. They're not frumpy imo.

They are an affront to my eyes!

ILikeyourHairyHands · 10/07/2019 00:39

I'm going against the grain here OP, I quite like them, as with all things it depends entirely upon how you style them.

Certainly much better than the link someone else posted. They're super-wrong!

DeRigueurMortis · 10/07/2019 01:14

I think you've managed to link to a pair of shoes that are in danger of making crocs look stylish by comparison....

matahairyy · 10/07/2019 01:25

Awful

managedmis · 10/07/2019 02:28

They're fine

MilkLady02 · 10/07/2019 02:40

I really like them! I also like to be comfortable but think these are stylish too, would work with shorts/casual summer dress/cut off denim Capri type pants. I’m tempted to get some myself! The two other suggestions from pp, I really don’t like and would say they are frumpy!

AnyFucker · 10/07/2019 02:49

Erk..

summerofladybird · 10/07/2019 03:05

I put comfort over style all the time but I wouldn't wear those shoes if you paid me.

loudnoises1 · 10/07/2019 03:23

I have some similar Dune loafers and they are brilliantly comfy. They're lovely OP.

(Im 25, not 80 for those saying they are old ladyish)

LauderSyme · 10/07/2019 04:04

Sometimes it's good to get other people's opinions just to crystallize your own. If you're a fan of the comfy shoe I can recommend 'hotter' brand though some might think they're a little middle-aged. (I don't care cos I am!)

Happynow001 · 10/07/2019 05:14

Actually I like them though I prefer them in the black. They are smart/casual, look really comfy and would allow me to walk at the high speed I'm usually charging around at. Yes it will depend on what you wear them with but I'm sure you've considered that. 😁

GibbonLover · 10/07/2019 05:37

They are inoffensive and the snake effect keeps them from being too plain. Not my first choice admittedly but I'd take them over the other shoes linked (inc. Office loafers) which are hideous.

SolitudeAtAltitude · 10/07/2019 07:41

No no no no no

Watersnail · 10/07/2019 08:47

Dislike. They look plasticky.

Mayday19 · 10/07/2019 10:07

Is this casual ageism a requirement in Style & Beauty? Can people not insult a shoe without insulting a generation?

Mrsjayy · 10/07/2019 10:15

Days are too long for sore feet wear them and be comfy I amseeing more and more women wearing flat comfortable shoes i think good for them

Ivegotthree · 10/07/2019 15:36

They're hideous
