Shoes - hideous or good fun?

In Zinfandel bold floral?

What do you think - yeah or nay?

Ha! I was just thinking that I'd love them for work, as a primary school librarian. That's pretty close to children's entertainer most days 😁

I think if they’re your taste then they’re your taste. You have to bear in mind that some of of the posters will be minimalist dressers who’ve spent a good chunk of their lives in all black or neutrals. I could imagine shoes similar to this for sale in Oliver Bonus and they could work if you embrace the colour clash rather than trying to subdue them. Perhaps you’re a natural dopamine dresser?

Anything on this site appeal to you?https://www.hotchocolatedesign.co.uk/

I wouldn’t wear them but I suppose it depends on your style and if you have a very ‘out there’ style

If they make you smile then go for it as you really are the only person who needs to like them

I like the idea of them but not the actual look, it's kinda giving cheap and plasticky.
I like Rocket Dog trainers, loads of colours and patterns. I have them in several designs.

Not a fan of those. I don’t actually mind the pattern, but the overall finish looks a bit cheap.

However, if you don’t already own a pair of Moshulu slippers, get some because they are outrageously comfortable!

That site "Old Monarchy" is seriously dodgy and should be avoided.

I reverse Google searched the shoes soupyspoon linked to. Here they are on Temu. Aliexpress and several similar sites have them

Temu

Dreadful.
They belong with skin colour denier tights in a nursing home.

Wow

I like them in black. They're a classic style. You could wear them innlieu of ballet flats with turned up jeans. Nay to the floral.

Why do shoes need to be fun?

Yikes! Unless you’re aiming for toddler chic, I’ve gotta say no.

Eh, I prefer the floral ones to the animal print, but I'm not keen on animal print, as a general rule. If you like them, they're fine. Someone obviously designed them, approved them, etc, for them to be available to purchase. Don't overthink it.

Comfy ! 😄

Good God! It's a no for me. (But of all the places I am looking for fun, well, my feet aren't one of them...).
But if you like them, don't be deterred...

Buy the shoes! S&B can be a bit of a culture shock if you’re not into classic tailoring and expensive statement pieces.

Most regular people just buy things they like and don’t have rules about which colours you can wear with what etc. If they bring you joy, buy them and enjoy wearing them.

I think the style is really ugly, but the flowers would make them almost wearable for me.

Well I like them! But I have an extensive Irregular Choice collection!

My sister bought me a pair of IC for my 50th, she said "I wanted to get you something elegant and classy, but then I thought fuck it, and bought those instead"!!

No doubt there then😂

The pink flowers are even worse. Grim.

Just get them, they look comfy and fun.

They are what I call fugly
fucking ugly

wearing the box they came in might be a better look at least you could start a trend

If you like patterns have a look at embassy London. I have a slight hankering after the brogues but some of the other options are a bit OTT..

I don’t hate these….depending on your personal style and what you’d wear them with!!

I don’t like loafers, but I liked the ones you posted. They are fun and much funkier than the blue ones (or the leopard ones). If you like them, buy them! I have moshulu slippers and they’re brilliant, going strong into their third year.
