Love or hate these sandals?

I have my girlie moments with skirts in summer etc. but summer for me is tshirt and short jeans mostly. I thought of these as a compromise as a study sandal as I like to get out and about and take photos.

Love or loathe? I can't decide! Hopefully the attachment works.

It's the Dr Martens Blaire Patent sandals in purple

Love or hate these sandals?

Ugly IMHO. But I'm probably not the target audience.

I love them! I fancy a pair of chunky sandals for summer this year after wearing very flat ones for ages

I love them. But I think they might rub and purple is a bit of a rubbish colour. I prefer the all black style of DM chunky sandal.

TechGinny · 19/04/2022 23:15

Love!

Yeah me too. I can't go about on a flimsy wee bit of leather. I usually have the dog with me and a camera bag and can be found squatting down taking a photo of a flower. Comfort is needed 🙂

I really like them. But I agree with @AnyFucker. I think they’d be buggers to break in, unless you intend to wear them with socks!

Luckingfovely · 19/04/2022 23:24

Oh my EYES!!!

Thanks all.

No need to be sorry if you hate them I am on the fence myself. I didn't make them so no offence taken here 🙂

Ugh

Bedsheets4knickers · 19/04/2022 23:26

I'm sure with the right maxi dress they'll fit the part .

Bedsheets4knickers · 19/04/2022 23:27

Maybe a sword and shield to boot 🤪

LadyShmuck · 19/04/2022 23:34

I have these in black. They're extremely comfortable, took no breaking in. I love them, maybe everyone hates them but I don't care. I think they look great with almost everything.

Love but hate that DMs are now trendy and work by the girls that used to bully me for wearing dm boots to school 🙈

wanderingscot · 19/04/2022 23:44

If you've got the right style and attitude- they're a bit goth imo (but that might be your thing)

BOOTS52 · 19/04/2022 23:46

yes if you are in 20's would love them.
