I’ve been wearing them for months, but today someone my sister 😆 Absolutely ripped me for them. They’re so comfortable and I don’t think I care either way but… are they awful or fine?! For a 30 something year old mother…!

@Buebananas I wear them everywhere, so for me… no 🤣

Fugliest things ever. Sorry OP

They're fine, the birkenstock style clogs are actually on trend at the moment.

Unless you're the back end of a pantomime horse. Then they're perfect.

@AppleJack43 Yes! So pleased to at least get 1 yay.

They are obviously a similar style to Birkenstock Bostons which are very fashionable, so not sure what your sister's issue is.

They're like the vet on trend Birkenstocks. My teen DD really wants the Birkenstock Boston's, I'm probably going to get her some to shlep around Uni when she starts in September. So I can assure everyone they're the hight of fashion.

I actually quite like them and fancy a pair myself, but then I know the joy Birkenstocks can bring to my feet.

Awful sorry!

Birkenstock Bostons, which these are a copy of, are very on trend at the moment.

Not for everyone, myself included, I prefer the Arizona (which I wear as slippers)

Ignore the haters Grin as Birkenstocks are very marmite.

You should treat yourself to the originals though

Gave me the last laugh of the day

I quite like the Birkenstock Bostons. They were everywhere in the autumn and look nice styled down. I have seen them with socks and shorts but I'm not so keen.

I have them in teal, so obviously I like the style but what an awful colour.
