I like them! I think they’re fine for any age, from toddlers to OAPs and anyone in between!

RosesAndHellebores · 15/04/2021 22:52

Whilst you aren't too old to wear them; they are too ugly to wear you.

@toffeebutterpopcorn

I actually don't think you are old enough...
This. Not for you OP.
notthemum · 15/04/2021 23:02

I'm sorry but they really are vile. I don't think it would make any difference if you were 5/35/65 or 105.
Really just no.

SpeckledyHen · 16/04/2021 07:04

Thank you all for your replies - especially those who actually answered the question:)

@SpeckledyHen Seasalt have a much simpler version that look very nice. Give them a Google.

My thoughts exactly, I'm 60 and wouldn't wear them ever Grin Grin

DenisetheMenace · 16/04/2021 07:17

Not my cup of tea, they’d be full of tiny stones and grit 10 minutes into a stroll on anything other than pavement.

Sooobored · 16/04/2021 07:18

I like them as styled on the model (not the socks, the trousers.)

joystir59 · 16/04/2021 07:21

You will probably look frumpy

fishonabicycle · 16/04/2021 07:22

I love them! Chunky soles are great!

eaglejulesk · 16/04/2021 07:42

Of course you are not too old to wear them. I prefer the first pair - but wouldn't pay those prices for either of them Shock

hettie · 16/04/2021 08:17

I know they are hugely fashionable and yes to 20somethings on insta wearing them. You should get them if you want a pair, I just really funny like the style

NewPlantsNeeded · 16/04/2021 08:39

Think the first ones are just to chunky for me and they look heavy to wear, the R&B ones I really like.

But why not just order them and see how they are on?

And like many I would not be bothered what age you are, I remember having something similar as a child.

VaggieMight · 16/04/2021 09:17

I like them. I had some DMs like this years ago, they're very heavy on the feet though, you might need to try them on and walk around a bit

theworldsbiggestcrocodile · 16/04/2021 09:33

The only people that can really get away with those are Alexa Chung types I think... just sartorially, nothing to do with age.
If you are tall, coltish of leg and have a bit of an insouciant air about you then go for it, if not maybe not...

PersonaNonGarter · 16/04/2021 09:34

OP, those shoes are on point. Definitely get them.

justanotherneighinparadise · 16/04/2021 10:12

@Fembot123

You are too old to wear them ironically and too young to wear them normally
🤣
midsomermurderess · 16/04/2021 11:07

Unless styled as in the photo, there is something very churchy about them. The sort of things worn by the ladies who do the flowers or some such.

TheSunIsStillShining · 16/04/2021 11:19

pls. don't hate on crocs. They can be a lifesaver! :)

  • ingrown toenail for kid, couldn't wear any normal shoes - these saved the day
  • new kitten, biting all the time, these saved my feet in the first few weeks.
Ugly - yes, but practical :)

re:these sandals - god, they are ugly imo, but if you like them go for it! :)
It reminds me of the 70s-80s east german tourist who wore these with socks.

No, those ladies are more likely to be wearing something like this.

Yikes!

AprilLady · 16/04/2021 12:17

I like them. I bought www.net-a-porter.com/en-gb/shop/product/porte-and-paire/leather-sandals/1325996 which are similar.

SpeckledyHen · 16/04/2021 12:24

@AprilLady

Beautiful. They would be perfect in tan .
