Are these shoes nice or naff?

My shoe radar is way off. Sitting there in the box I don't like them but when I try them on with jeans I look in the mirror and think they look nice. I am really out of touch shoe-wise so would appreciate any opinions! www.clarksoutlet.co.uk/griffin-milly/26120148-p

I would sell those on if you can. I don't like the sole.

Axx · 17/04/2024 18:14

Sorry I thought they were old ones you had sat in a box. Misread your OP. I would return those.

Th1me · 17/04/2024 18:15

I like them - but I've no taste lol so don't take my word for it!!

millypeggyandpandora · 17/04/2024 18:15

I think they are totally fugly …. Sorry x

AGodawfulsmallaffair · 17/04/2024 18:16

Well, I like loafers 😊

RickyGervaislovesdogs · 17/04/2024 18:17

Looks like a nice comfortable shoe.

RoundWeGoAgain2 · 17/04/2024 18:18

We like them. They look like shoes.

Iusedtobeapenguin · 17/04/2024 18:18

Ha almost unanimous then! I don't mind if you're brutal about it, I can return them for free 🙂. I am so bad at picking shoes - could someone point me in the direction of some nice tan leather loafers please?

I love them.

Echobelly · 17/04/2024 18:21

I think they're dull but not naff, but then like poster above I also have no taste and tend to like weird-looking stuff 😂

SuperGreens · 17/04/2024 18:21

I like them, I like a loafer with a short tongue, theyre nice for summer. Not super keen on the sole, but you dont really see that anyway.

susiedaisy1912 · 17/04/2024 18:22

They are dull but sturdy looking. I wouldn't buy them.

ICanFixHim · 17/04/2024 18:23

I quite like some loafers but they're dull and functional. I picture them being worn with slacks.

TuesdayWhistler · 17/04/2024 18:24

They look fine to me. Neither Uber stylish nor Uber fugly. Just comfortable everyday type shoes to sling on to run about to shops and such.

TerriPie · 17/04/2024 18:25

Missing the point but just want to mention I haven't heard anyone saying 'naff' since mid 1990's!

Hoping it's making a comeback 😁

Moonshine5 · 17/04/2024 18:26

Return them

Awrite · 17/04/2024 18:29

I like them.

Iusedtobeapenguin · 17/04/2024 18:31

Oh no! I'm so confused now the opinions are more even - and I'm being swayed by the 50% off.....

Iusedtobeapenguin · 17/04/2024 18:34

My problem is that shoes that I think look ok are apparently horrible, and big old chunky ones I imagine a granny would wear are apparently in (Birkenstocks come to mind - I just don't get them?)

I think they will look a better when you've worn them in a bit. There's a boring formality to them but I think over time they'll come into their own.

Purrdy · 17/04/2024 19:10

I can't stand them.

GettingStuffed · 17/04/2024 19:13

Tan shoes should be banned

Riverlee · 17/04/2024 19:15

I have the same pair, and they actually do look good with jeans.

DrJoanAllenby · 17/04/2024 19:15

Handy for whacking large spiders with big otherwise it's a massive NO.

They look like the shoes Barbara Woodhouse used to wear.

Whycantiwinmillionsandsquillions · 17/04/2024 19:19

I think they are fine.
I look like comfortable, practical shoes.
No more no less.
