Keep or return

[doingmyboxin]

Not the most exciting of threads, I'm afraid!

Should I keep these shoes for wearing to work, or are they a bit teenage, perhaps even toddlerish, for a 40yo woman?

I had a pair of shoes very similar to them, no pattern and not patent in my forties, loved them,very comfy and suited my not trendy dress sence. If you like them and they are comfy go for it. Was over 20 years ago 😁

🤣

I do like them though

Thanks OP I've just ordered a pair 😊

I loathe that style as I think they look like toddler clown shoes but they may be very comfortable and good for your feet so if you like them go for it.

It depends on your style, I wouldn't personally wear them but I can imagine someone like Esme Young from the sewing bee wearing them and looking great.

Love these! Definitely keep.

Return. Only suit 2 yr olds in my world.

Return them.

Absolutely they look like little girls shoes. I find grown women in children's attire creepy nowadays. Something to do with how youth is so fetishized. I don't think I always thought like this.

They're fabulous! Fwiw, they aren't my look, my feet are too big, but i can appreciate them on others. Some may think they're very young, but i think these would look really great with a wonderfully otherwise adult outfit. They'd make it fun and not dowdy, iyswim.

I love them.

And clearly so do other people as they are "selling fast".

I would feel I wouldn’t be taken seriously wearing those to work.

I wore them to school and still love them. Mary janes shoes?

I dunno. If worn with some stylish ankle grazer/rolled up jeans or trousers, simple top and casual blazer jacket, I think an adult could get away with them. But I think tights and dresses would def give a toddler appearance.

Keep. I like them. Goodness knows what's wrong with "quirky"?

Are they these? They're much nicer than the suggestion on here.

Absolutely fine with what you suggest and also with a dress, depending on the dress. Plain jumper dress, yes, Little House on the Prairie dress, probably no.

They honestly look like dds Clarks shoes from primary school.

Should have read the thread before posting.

Keep them.

YES! I thought the same.

I think they're dire, but we don't all like the same things.

Schuh has several flat t- bar shoes for women on their website including their own brand, Clarks, and Doc Martens.

They do not look like Grayson Perry.

What are you planning to wear them with? Not loving them with the tights but I think they’d work with barrel leg jeans and a blazer or cropped/French tucked jumper or shirt.

Definitely return 😬 sorry OP

I thought “aw they’re sweet” then realised they weren’t for a 5 year old. Return.

Keep I really like them

Mary Jane's are the fashion right now. Love em
