well they're not too old lady
not sure about emo or teenage

comfy is good

if you like em, keep em!

too stripey for me but am guessing, if you've ordered 2 pairs of stripey shoes, you most probably quite like stripes, so that's alright then...

mehdismummy · 02/01/2008 15:39

nope they are not. They look nice. And if they are comfortable you should keep them. They are from next after all next dont do crap

LynetteScavo · 02/01/2008 15:42

Nice

Avoid those blck wedges though -they really are vile.

Oliveoil · 02/01/2008 15:42

cream and gold ones ok, other ones are beyond hideous

I have tons of Rocket Dog trainers

brimfull · 02/01/2008 15:43

my 16 yr old wears them

Oliveoil · 02/01/2008 15:43

although I beg to differ that "Next don't do crap" I have a 4 floor shop near me and it is wall to ceiling crap imo

berolina · 02/01/2008 15:43

like the ones on the left. rather violently dislike the ones on the right.

HuwEdwards · 02/01/2008 15:44

but isn't it personal taste? surely only you can say whether you think they're nice or nasty?

mosschops30 · 02/01/2008 15:44

thanks, am not particularly into striped shoes but I thought for walking about on hols or wearing to college would be fine. Theyre not for anything special. I have lots of plain ballet type shoes and fancied something different, they are unbelievably comfy and for a tenner its not bad!

Now have decide whether the black or cream pair??

I still buy them

I think they're 'inoffensive'.

Once they're on your feet no one is going to notice them, so if they're comfy then keep them - just don't expect compliments!

mosschops30 · 02/01/2008 15:46

Thanks ggirl thats my worry dont wanna look like I'm trying to be 16 again (have bought dd the white stripy ones but they are completely different)

No HUW i am useless at making decisions about clothes and shoes. I cant just throw anything on and carry it off as looking good unless it really does IYKWIM

I took some knickers back today for dd2 (gaped around the arse = not a good look) and some of the stuff was beyond bad

one shoulder tops etc AGED 6

HuwEdwards · 02/01/2008 15:49

aaaah so title should read

'Please tell me if these trainers are suitable for a laydee of my advancing years or whether I will look like mutton'

mosschops30 · 02/01/2008 15:54
