I actually don't think you are old enough...

ShowOfHands · 15/04/2021 16:24

Have you got age related bunions and/or arthritis affecting your ankles and toe joints?

🤣
ShowOfHands · 15/04/2021 16:25

Because that's one of the only reasons I can think of for being too old for an item of clothing. Unless it's a babygro.

Justmuddlingalong · 15/04/2021 16:25

If you've got feet, you can wear them. Your age is irrelevant.

LoveFall · 15/04/2021 16:26

I am the same age and would absolutely wear them. I like them.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 15/04/2021 16:31

If you like them, it really doesn't matter how old you are. I, however, dislike them intensely. Sorry!

Fembot123 · 15/04/2021 16:34

You are too old to wear them ironically and too young to wear them normally

Cillmantain · 15/04/2021 16:37

Absolutely not.
I don't subscribe to the notion that once past a certain age one "shouldn't wear" something.
I think they are fabulous

Cowbells · 15/04/2021 16:38

Wear what you like!

I’m with you, nearly as bad as crocs but not quite in my eyes.

There's no age on anything, however they are hideous Easter Blush

Agree with this 😂
BilboBercow · 15/04/2021 16:45

These are coming back into fashion op so ignore the comments about not being old enough. If you like them get them! Clothes don't have an age limit

Floisme · 15/04/2021 16:54

Fisherman platforms my arse - let's call them what they are: jelly shoes, available in all good seaside shops, next to the bacon and egg shaped rock. Yes they're fine.

WeatherwaxOn · 15/04/2021 16:56

They don't look as good with socks, in my opinion.
However -
Do you like them?
Can you afford them?
Do they fit you?

If yes to all of the questions, then go ahead.

DailyCandy · 15/04/2021 17:09

I'm sorry i clicked on the link. They're revolting.

I like the first ones best. They are super in fashion this summer. I've just bought some from Labucq so I obviously like them!

aramox · 15/04/2021 17:14

They're not jelly shoes! They're artisan leather. I like them (am old myself and you are never too old to be ironic) , depends what you wear with. Black might be less orthopaedic.

LucysSkyDiamonds · 15/04/2021 17:15

Noooo! A stone would get in through the gap and drive me bananas because you can't shake it out so have to take the hideous shoe off and remove the stone then buckle it back on, only to have to repeat it all again in 10 mins. Too exhausting for my taste.

Fembot has said what I was struggling to articulate!
MindBodyChocolate · 15/04/2021 17:18

Age isn’t the problem here - they’re just not nice for all the reasons already posted!!

Sugarbelle · 15/04/2021 17:22

I think they're nice! but I love caged sandals.

harknesswitch · 15/04/2021 17:24

Oh dear I think they are hideous, why would you 'want' to wear them
