Love or hate these sandals?

[Hailingfrequenciesopen]

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

I don't like them BUT I think if you get them I love the colour and the patent look. Black is so dull. Purple imo will look great and as they're on your feet will go with everything. I had some beautiful purple patent shoes, well 2 pairs actually, and found that they went with everything.

Love. Buy them now and wear them at home a few times with socks to break them in.

I love them. I have Dr Martens sandals. They're very comfortable after about two weeks. Absolute agony before then.

I like them and wish I could wear them but can't for orthpaedic reasons!

You have to have the right ‘look’ for them- either alternative or fashionista (with frilly socks).

I love them but I wouldn’t get them in purple.

get them in black

Hideous. Only to be worn by middle aged librarians who live on their own with four cats.

Loathe. All DMs - awful.

Hideous. And apparently not even comfortable.

I don't like them. Skirts with trainers is perfectly OK and I think look better in my opinion.

Hate them - fugly describes them perfectly

They’re very cool and ‘now’ in my opinion. Will look good with long floaty skirts as well as jeans or flappy trousers.

The hideous, clumpy footwear with the floaty skirt/ pretty dress combination was original about 35 years ago. I don't know what those monstrosities would look good with.

😂 Too funny! But I agree, and I love chunky shoes!

I love them and have just ordered them in black!

But I don't do dainty footwear.

I love them... except for the colour, they would be perfect in oxblood or black. I have a similar pair and had no touble breaking them in, please report back if you brought them and if they gave you blisters

I'd say definitely yes to the style but black would be preferable as more classic dm I think.

Love the style. Purple is not my favourite colour and I have black patent chunky sandals and find them harder to wear than normal leather. Seems to make my skin look even more peely wally than it is 😂

Loathe

Love them!

These also won't be to everyone's taste, but these are my favourite DM sandals

I like the black ones, but the white ones are nice too

I have them in black. Am not a Goth, a librarian nor a German granny ...I wear mine with cropped jeans, palazzo pants or a maxi skirt. They are very comfortable now but did take some breaking in, I used those moleskin sticky strips inside them.

I'm not in my 20s either btw, in fact very soon to be in my 50s. I hope that vision of ugliness gives some of you the vapours 😀

I love them, but then I am a goth so I go for maximum clomp in my shoe choices 😆

ugly but good ugly if that makes sense

They’re a bit too chunky for me.. but I think they would suit some people..
