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

They're lovely but my own light pink suede summer wedges got screwed on the first drop of rain, I wish I'd bought (faux) leather.
I loved loads of the shoes in your link! Try to look for leatherish if you can for wear and tear.

Forgot to mention I'm a morbidly obese size 26 and mine don't look like pig trotters, they looked great.

Zenithbear · 26/07/2021 00:05

Yay from me

Viviennemary · 26/07/2021 00:16

They just scream sale price because the colour is awful.

PickAChew · 26/07/2021 00:18

They're cute but don't look at all comfortable.

YouWereGr8InLittleMenstruators · 26/07/2021 00:24

That clunky heel makes them look like badly drawn feet by my DD2.
Also the colour of gums or a flesh wound.

Thank you for all the replies. The ayes and the neys.

I've slept on it and decided ... to buy a cordyline instead.

I do love them, and the reviews match what a pp has said that they're comfy, but i don't actually need a pair of pink suede ankle boots but you can never have too many cordylines Grin

@DrWankincense

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!!
Bluntness100 · 26/07/2021 09:21

I totally agree on the cordyline 😂

newnortherner111 · 26/07/2021 09:30

I did not like the colour, so think you've made the right decision.

TheSunShinesBrighter · 26/07/2021 09:43

What are cordylines? I’ve googled and get pictures of plants! 🤣

ShrikeAttack · 26/07/2021 10:03

Because they are plants!

Good decision OP. They were not great.

Boood · 26/07/2021 10:40

No. Lovely colour for a dress or top, not for boots.

queenofcandleford · 26/07/2021 13:25

They are OK. I imagine that on a slender, feminine woman

LaurieSchafferIsAllBitterNow · 26/07/2021 13:34

i don't like them at all, but if anyone must have them the they might suit with a summery skirt/dress, but not with jeans

Glad you went with a plant instead!

DinosaurDiana · 26/07/2021 13:34

I like them, but prefer the wanderlust strappy boots

LittleGwyneth · 26/07/2021 13:40

Baaaaad.

Echobelly · 26/07/2021 13:41

I like Joe Browns on the whole, but then I don't do tasteful - but those are a bit 'Meh' and mumsy IMO.

Cam22 · 26/07/2021 13:53

No.

Pippioddstocking · 26/07/2021 13:54

Good god no

Ruthietuthie · 26/07/2021 13:56

If Cow-girl barbie was the look you were going for, you've certainly got it!
Or piggy trotters.
Wink
But, if you love them, go for it!

CatWithARabbit · 26/07/2021 13:57

Really like the Joe Brown boots - really don't like the other ones !

I was thinking ‘two day old fabric Elastoplast’ but I can see where you are coming from.

They are just terrible, OP. Good choice vis a vis the Cordyline.

fertilitybs · 26/07/2021 14:51

No they look a bit outdated to me, like 2000s

Figroll16 · 26/07/2021 18:10
