Sorry wear not where!

BillywigSting · 17/02/2020 21:54

I have those in black, complete with bow.

I bloody love them.

I wear them with a jumper with the sleeves pushed up and a long sleeve t-shirt underneath, a plain black skirt and dinosaur print black tights.

They are supremely comfortable, keep my feet reasonably warm and dry, and, (and I really can't overstate this) they are supremely comfortable.

Go for it op.

You only live once and life is too short for boring shoes.

I want those ones now too though Grin

BustedDreams · 17/02/2020 21:54

Found them Grin

I won’t be bothering as they are children’s shoes lol

goldenorbspider · 17/02/2020 21:55

Yes I would but I consider baddie winckle a fashion icon

painintheholeSIL · 17/02/2020 21:55

Awful. Ugly, ugly shoes.

BillywigSting · 17/02/2020 21:55

You could - but really why would you?

Because she likes them? Just throwing that idea out there

SpottyShoeBow · 17/02/2020 21:57

But really, why wouldn't you? They are sturdy, comfortable, silver goes with everything, will last forever and the bow is removable in case of emotional/social trauma. Why would you want a pair of completely forgettable ballet pumps instead?!

Which are avaliable up to size "older 5". Which fits me perfectly, and I take an adult 6 minimum in Doc Martens boots. They run big.

You've already made your mind up OP

Update us with a pic of you wearing them when you've bought themGrin

MrsJakeLovell · 17/02/2020 22:01

If you have to ask 'am I too old to wear something' then you're too old to care what anyone else thinks!

Wear them and love them and give yourself a little smile when you look down and see your feet or catch a glimpse in a reflection!

SpottyShoeBow · 17/02/2020 22:02

Oh, I've already bought them Wink

Doublethesarcasm · 17/02/2020 22:03

They are really uncomfortable. My dd has had a black pair for years and they've never softened up. She put up with bleeding ankles determined to wear them, eventually they were lobbed in the back of the wardrobe.

MrsJakeLovell · 17/02/2020 22:05

Yay! I checked my pockets and I find I have all run out of fucks to give over what anyone else thinks of what I wear! I don't think this board is really the place for me!

goldfinchfan · 17/02/2020 22:06

a bit Baby Jane with Betty Davis perhaps?

namechange1041 · 17/02/2020 22:07

EngagedAgain · 17/02/2020 22:10

Could you post a photo with them on when you get them. Don't have to show your face just what you are going to wear with them.

SpottyShoeBow · 17/02/2020 22:10

I'm far too young to do Baby Jane. I have another 20 years of being a Grayson Perry/SU Pollard mash up to go yet..

TheHumansAreDefinitelyDead · 17/02/2020 22:11

Oh I like them. I have a silver pair a bit like that from Fitflop, I wear them with a denim mini (Or midi) or black skinnies.

I have sworn off shoes that I cannot walk in comfortably

It has made my life better (even if DH calls them my lesbian shoes Confused)

jay55 · 17/02/2020 22:12

Are you a TV presenter for preschoolers?

SpottyShoeBow · 17/02/2020 22:15

No.. But I tried a pair of black cotton dungarees on in Seasalt yesterday, so perhaps dangerously close?

Glad you got them, I wish I could be more adventurous with my clothes, enjoy!

fastliving · 17/02/2020 22:31

Clothes/shoes....you know what I mean!

AnyFucker · 17/02/2020 22:33

Those are fugly and not in a good way

Nobody should wear them

Namaste6 · 17/02/2020 22:43

Jeeeeesus they are horrific. Sorry OP, but that's a joke, right? I wouldn't put them on a 5 year old let alone a 50 year old.

JaneJeffer · 17/02/2020 23:07

a bit Baby Jane that's the first thing I thought of when I saw them Grin

However I think everyone should wear what they like regardless of age.
