Can a middle aged woman wear these?

[SpottyShoeBow]

What say you?

[RiftGibbon]

If you like them, you can afford them, and they fit you, then what anyone else thinks it's beside the point
Go for it!

[SirVixofVixHall]

They look so friendly ! Somehow I feel a glittery Doc wearer would be a warm and approachable person.

[HalfManHalfLabrador]

I love them and actually think I might buy a pair after seeing this thread. Late 30s

[SpottyShoeBow]

You've all made my day, thank you. Perhaps I'm not crazy after all.

[hazeyjane]

They are bloody lovely.

It's funny when people say, "urgh horrible, buy these instead" and then post a picture of something that is nothing like the shoe the op asked about! Like on baby names -
"I like the name Amarinta-Mae..What do you guys think?"
"Urgh horrible...have you thought about Elizabeth?"

Loving the comments here.
I'm over 50 and would wear those shoes. Then again, I have (long) blue & purple hair, wear Hello Kitty socks and Emily Strange t-shirts. My SIL is older than me with longer hair which she ties back with a bandana, and she lives in red FM boots.
We don't care if you don't like it. You're not wearing it.

^DM boots, stupid autocorrect

[LoisWilkersonsLastNerve]

Not my taste but I'm from the wear what you want camp. I do like DM boots but they don't suit me unfortunately. You need to have a whole 'look'.

[namechange8765455]

Oh em gee, I love these shoes. Where did you get them from?

[SecretWitch]

@Bluewavescrashing, those look fab on you❤️

[Bluewavescrashing]

Thank you @SecretWitch! I'll probably wear them with pinafores and long sleeve tees. Or skirts.

[Bluewavescrashing]

They are horrendous. You can wear them if you're a children's TV presenter dressed as a clown. Otherwise fuck no.

I'm an infant school teacher so not far off the mark 🙂 the children love funky shoes!

[SpottyShoeBow]

Well I wore them today. I can confirm that the sun is still shining, the stars have not fallen from the sky, civilization has not collapsed and I did not leave a trail of traumatised members of the public strewn atop the pavements, frothing at the mouth in my wake.

[Lordfrontpaw]

I bet at at least one person compliments you on them

[Iamthewombat]

You should reserve the right to wear what you like and I will reserve my right to think, “My eyes! My eyes!”

Actually I often have bad thoughts about other people’s footwear. I only think the thoughts, though. Do I comply with the ‘be kind’ directive? When I retire and no longer have to do a morning commute (current estimate puts this at age 70 so not any time soon!), on my last morning I will ask each and every one of the women on the platform who habitually wear shoes I consider to be hideous, “why would you make your own feet and legs look so ugly WHY WHY WHY????”

[Iamthewombat]

(I wouldn’t really, but I would very much like to know the reasons of each individual hideous shoe-wearer)

[TheNavigator]

Well I wore them today.

Did you remove the whimsical bow?

[Clackyheels]

Haha, good hopefully they made you smile and enjoy your day a little more. If you like them wear them.

[itsbetterthanabox]

I want them!
But they are kids shoes so can't.

[SpottyShoeBow]

I did remove the whimsical bow, but only because it was pouring rain and I didn't want to ruin it. If its dry tomorrow it will be back on!

[Bluewavescrashing]

I want them! But they are kids shoes so can't.

Yes you can! Why not? Most of my shoes are from the children's section--much cheaper as you don't pay VAT. Some are ditsy and cute, others look like 'normal' shoes eg trainers and boots. It's a nice perk if you have small feet!

[okiedokieme]

I would wear them without the bow in black or red. I'm middle aged

[Mummiepig]

Do they fit?
Do you like them?
Are you comfortable in them?
If you answered yes, then you can wear them

[MrsDoylesTeaBags]

There's a reason they're in the clearance sale

[SmellyBeard]

But the fastening is velcro. Won't it go all curly and crap?
