this is an American link because I can't get Schuh's to work as a link, but I got these here in the UK from Schuh.

of course, my sister laughed her arse off and said they were fug and my mother did one of her sighs again.

who cares anyway, you'll be so happy to have some time off everyone will be dazzled by your happy smile and no-one will bother to gaze further south

TBH I never look at feet, enjoy yourself and have a lovely time, you'll be able to go twice the distance.

expatinscotland · 05/03/2008 12:56

You must be joking, Devil!

Those DM Mary Janes are fug!

They look like Nurse Ratchett shoes.

I'm definitely wearing them on the flight over, I'll sail through customs and as I travel in the EU on a British passport, I can't be accused of a fashion crime.

not with a skirt

expatinscotland · 05/03/2008 12:57

I think they'd be great with a long denim skirt, mmj, no?

I'M on your side expat....I like them.....!

Of course tho, had I been still able to wear pretty heels and stuff, I may not have thought so, but seeing as I am kinda stuck and now needing 'practical', I do indeed think they are fab!!!!

Wotz · 05/03/2008 12:58

you might be asked to take them off through customs so everyone can have a laugh though

DrNortherner · 05/03/2008 12:59

How about with some funky stripy tights and a skirt?

I thought that would be a cool look.

I wouldn't do socks with them, but I would wear some funky tights with them.

I can't wait till they arrive! I have time to break them in before Madrid.

beardie shoes

do you have a beard ?

do you like archeology?

DrNortherner · 05/03/2008 13:00

They'd look good with a nylon knee length skirt and a crimpolene blouse and american tan tights. I deal office attire.

Disenchanted · 05/03/2008 13:02

These sandals are made out of old grocery bags. At least they're saving the planet in their ugly little way.
