I'm mesmerised by them and have a pair waiting in the basket ... really not sure though!

@Newchallenge

I like them but the heel is too high for me. I'm having similar dilemma about a jacket in the Joe Browns sale!
Are you brave enough to share a pic?

Neutral on them

7wondersofthewold · 25/07/2021 22:52

Gut reaction is they're something I would expect to see in a bad charity shop.

shivermetimbers77 · 25/07/2021 22:53

I think they look great but my first thought was ‘ooh they are going to get really stained the moment it rains’. I’m really rock n roll , clearly Grin

slightlysnippy · 25/07/2021 22:53

I don't mind them, and there now only £30, so if you love them and think you'll wear them just buy them.

SionnachRua · 25/07/2021 22:54

Love them but I agree with the person saying they'll get destroyed!

DietrichandDiMaggio · 25/07/2021 22:55

Nope. They look cheap, which, to be fair, they are really.

IHaveBrilloHair · 25/07/2021 22:55

I don't like them, but if you do you should get them.

DrWankincense · 25/07/2021 22:56

I sort of want to like them, but they are a bit raw sausage??
They will get totally trashed on the first wear, I think.

This sums up where i am!

It does have a hint of raw sausage Grin

I'm very light on shoes/boots. I wouldn't wear them in the rain nor on the school run. I would wear them car to bar for a meal or drink.

I like them! :)

They would look nice with some black skinnies and a floaty flowery blouse / top

If you really liked these you would have just purchased and not cared what others thought?

Did you not get the IM GETTING THEM vibe?

Each to their own cant expect everyone to like them its about what you like :)

ahoyshipmates · 25/07/2021 23:09

I like them.

DazzlingHaze · 25/07/2021 23:09

I love them!! I can imagine them with light blue jeans. And down to £30, defo get them!

Ozanj · 25/07/2021 23:11

Are you slim? They might give off a pigs trotter vibe otherwise.

AtomHeartMotherOfGod · 25/07/2021 23:11

Weird colour... they look like flesh.

The style is OK but toe too pointy for me. If you suit though, no probs.

ZednotZee · 25/07/2021 23:12

They are a steal!

Ge them.

Haha! This is a perfect response
Mockolate · 25/07/2021 23:14

Not for me, but if you like them then that's what's important, don't give a crap about random opinions on the t'internet like mine and others lol

TheSkatesOfCoachBombay · 25/07/2021 23:14

OP if you like them, get them.

I can't say I'm a fan but that's my personal taste, also one wear and I'd have trashed them. 😳

RubyGoat · 25/07/2021 23:16

Nice style, dreadful colour considering they're footwear. They'll look awful really quickly unless you only ever walk on dry, pristine surfaces.

I don't follow fashion at all though.

WeWantTheFinestWines · 25/07/2021 23:19

I usually love Joe Brown but I don't like those. Unless you have tiny feet, then all shoes look great.

mathanxiety · 25/07/2021 23:21

Get a light pink handbag if you can't wear light pink.

Forget the boots. There's a reason they're reduced.

INeedABrewPlease · 25/07/2021 23:22

I have these and they don’t look like pigs trotters on me. They are really soft and comfortable. You should get them.
