Are chunky sandals still in?

I like both of the attached, but can anyone recommend any in case I prefer them, please?

Thanks.

I'm over 60 and I have them.

I wouldn't be seen dead in something a 60 year old would wear 🤷🏼‍♀️

While the orginal post was uncalled for, so is this one. Not all 60 year olds are the same you know. Hmm

The ageism on this thread...

It was a joke in response to an unnecessarily snippy comment. I actually love that so many women of varying ages have come on to say they rock them too!

But it's kept this thread moving and I've got loads of links, so thank you.

In response to my general style, currently it's "whatever still fits". But jeans more than dresses these days.

They are so ugly. I'm in my 60s and wouldn't be seen dead in them

So am I, and I'm considering something along those lines. Blush

Op what were the second pair called? They've a really similar look to some of the docs ones. I like them both by the way.

They're called Tara

Really want a pair of these this summer

I bought a similar pair last year. Absolutely loved them BUT you can't drive in them with such a thick sole.

I wanted a pair to throw on whenever I dashed out and found it ridiculous to have to swap shoes in the car. Such a shame.

@KnickerlessParsons

Yes! Loads of links on this thread. You should definitely get some.

I can't decide which I like the most. I was set on the Clarks ones last night, but now I've got loads more options I'm so torn. I might be leaning to the Dr Martens.

Before I decide if I like these, please could you confirm if you're older or younger than 60?

LadyLump · 26/04/2023 09:16

I mean from the title it was extremely obvious what the thread was about, and op is asking for recommendations from people that wear similar. Is it really necessary to come on and say you wouldn't be seen dead in them? Different people like different things, fair enough if you don't like them but there's no need to make digs at people who do

I was only joking after the row on the thread. I love them. They're up there with my favourites.

My bad, I didn’t read the whole thread! 😳🙈

Snowjokes · 26/04/2023 09:21

Ive been eyeing up the chunky sandal trend but couldn’t quite get behind it - but some of these slightly less severe looking options look fab!

Another vote for DM blaires! I bought a pair at the end of last summer but only got to wear them once. I plan on living in them all summer this year

I'm in my 60s and I would very much be seen alive in them!

I've been eyeing up the Marks ones in black

For those who've got them, are they comfortable?

I have the M and S ones and they rubbed around the ankle strap, after wearing them indoors with socks for a few days they are now fine. Also had the DocM ones and they were the same.
I am well over 60 and love them.

The 60 and dead in them nonsense was not started by the OP.

Hippychickster · 26/04/2023 09:42

I have the pink DM Blaires and they are the comfiest sandals ever. I wear them with everything!

MissHavishamsMouldyOldCake · 26/04/2023 09:42

I had the M&S ones last year. Got a refund on them when the plastic sole on both shoes split.

Nice to see such rampant ageism so early in the morning!

If you're very lucky @FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee and @TempletonTheRat you will live to see 60. Maybe by then you will have matured ... (or maybe not).

the OP didn't start it though.
