Are these shoes nice or awful

[scramalam]

I've ditched almost all of my heels since covid and live in trainers or birkenstocks.

I ordered these the other day and can't decide if I love them or hate them. Are they really out of fashion, they seem pretty comfortable.

Maybe save them for a nice meal out and door to door taxi? I have a couple of pairs that are used only if I don't have to walk. What a mad approach to shoes 😅

I usually loathe FitFlop styles but I actually like those ones a lot. They're pretty on-trend too.

I love FitFlops, slightly horrified about the hate for them! Mind you, I’m always up for a pile-on against Birkenstocks or Crocs. I’ve been tempted by these, don’t think they would be heavy in cork.

I had a pair about 10 years ago (at least) of wedge cork sandals from New Look, they were the comfiest things ever, wish I still had the now. I just cant find decent comfy sandals at the moment.

Exactly this.

I was a teenager when platforms were fashionable. I now have weak ankles due to spraining my ankle several times on falling over! I would never wear such a style

however I bought the flat version of these sandals and find them very comfortable

So did I! Mine were from Kensington Market and cost the huge sum of £25. Platform boots with snakeskin inserts and 3 separate layers of platform. Those were the days.....

*thing is you know, I wear these ... so I've got no style!

I think they might be comfortable because they're virtually flat. However, that's what makes them look clumpier- the thickness of the sole. I'm torn if I like them, would have to try walking in them.

I'm not keen on the cut-out in the wedge, it's a weird shape. But I love FitFlops shoes and find them extremely comfortable and I'm mid-50s so comfort is life........

I dont like them.But I have Fitflop Gracie and I can walk miles in them.

I like them. I’d probably admire them if I saw you wearing them.

I had these and they were comfy but personally I felt they looked clumpy on the foot so ultimately got rid of them.

I like them.
I was forbidden from buying similar iǹ the 1970s as I would almost certainly succumb to a horrible end. To be fair, one of my friends did have a bad fall off them. Fortunately for me punk happened.

I really like them.

Awful. But I am an old git who lived through the 1970s so they look really old-fashioned to me.

Not to my taste. I did try the traditional style of fit flip on many moons ago in a shop and they were so uncomfortable

I wore almost exactly the same shoes in the 1970s when I first went to see Saturday night fever with a friend at the cinema.
I thought I was the coolest girl in town.
I'm not so sure about them now.

This 😂

They would be better as proper wedges.

I don't understand the Fitflop hate on here. I've got several pairs and they are the most comfortable, reliable shoes/sandals I own. They also look great and compare well with the other brands I wear: DrMartens etc. These particular ones aren't my style but if you like them why are you asking? Just get them and wear themwith joy.

I love them! 😍

I love these and have worn similar for decades! FYI, Gabor have even nicer ones, with a hidden velcro fastening. Cheaper too, and currently 20% off at John Lewis.

Same. I love fitflops and they've improved their styles a lot over the years. They used to be fugly af but I love a lot of their stuff now, I have some boots, trainers, loafers and sandals from fitflop and don't really wear any other brand except maybe pumas etc.

I find platform sandals and FitFlops really comfortable and my feet can be a bit awkward. Go for it. FitFlops are also indestructible IME and brilliant for flat feet.

I don't like all FitFlop styles but loads of them are lovely, comfortable and fashionable.

Personally I don't care for Birkenstocks or Teva generally. I tried on some of the original Birkenstocks years ago and it was like walking on a cardboard box and they were clearly going to rub me quite viciously.
