I like these but are they too out there? Too chavvy, too whatever?!
I'm 38. Love a stand out shoe.. thoughts?!

Love them!!!! Tempted to buy them myself. My look is mostly black clothes and a leather or denim jacket. They are very my taste.

Really? Dated and aging? I'm happy to hear opinions. Just don't see why you would think that?

For me I think it's because they are Joules circa 10 years ago (except that Joules kept trying to push them well past their sell by date, which probably contributed to their demise!)

I'm probably biased though as I just don't like them, even if they were height of fashion I wouldn't wear them. If you like them that's all that really matters though.

That style of trainer- lovely
Leopard print bit- not for me. I think that's what makes them seem a bit ageing. I'd prefer a plain colour, bright.

Same. Size 6.5 shoes but size 7 in Nike is a perfect fit.

Chavtastic

Not for me, I also think quite dated, sort of older woman trying to be funky. I think they are a bit tacky. But I wholly admit my taste in shoes runs to the dull.

I just ordered a second pair of these, as in the sale, and love them and wear them to death.

Aww thank you so much! I'm not doubting. I'm definitely getting them! I just love to hear other opinions ☺️

That's exactly my style too!

I understand that. Thank you.. ☺️

That was a slight concern! But I think if styled with the right clothing it would look nice.
Although saying that, I'm old enough to think of Dorian from Birds of a Feather whenever I see leopard print 😆

I see what you're saying. But I could never wear those. Far too plain. They could equally look dated. I think it really depends who's wearing them.

I like them but my favourite shoes of the moment are my turquoise docs so clearly I don't give a fuck whether any shoes are out there 🤣

These and I wore them with an animal print blouse and pleather trousers the other day

Oooooooh! 🤣

Quite horrid.

I don't know but I often find that when you hesitate like this but go ahead anyway, it turns out to be something you end up never wearing. Usually you have a feeling of "just knowing" when something is right.

Absolutely. In my defense though my early 20s daughter and her friends would wear mine, they wouldn’t wear yours 😁

Personally don't like them. But Ive always thought animal print looks cheap.

Wouldn't be an S&B thread without a bit of ageism and classism!

Oh brilliant! I bet that looked fantastic!

Oh dear 😅

Who mentioned classism?!

@Janehasamane 😆 that's totally fine. I'm not trying to look like a 20 year old!
I really don't think we can put an age on it. Some 20-50 year olds would wear both yours
and mine. Totally different personalities xx

Totally agree, I also really dislike leapord print. It is too bet lynch for me, so life time aversion. 😁

the thread shows though the trainers split the room. Some adore. Some think tacky. Neither are wrong. Just opinions.

I love them!
