Nonsense.

My opinion is valid to me

"good fun", "pop of colour", "wacky" - not sure this Style and Beauty board is going to give you what you're looking for 😬

They definitely fall into the non boring category …

but it’s a hard no from me. Very 1970’s and if I saw someone wearing them (and it wasn’t at a fancy dress party) I would think they were very attention seeking- they are screaming ‘look at meeeee- aren’t I wacky!!’

but that’s me. If that’s what you want then go for it - maybe hold out for a while though as they are bound to end up reduced at some point.

I think the black ones are hideous, the blue and the flower one is more fun (but I don’t like their ‘ruched’ look). My grandma wore those black kind of ones in EE. :-)))

Honestly, if I saw someone wearing these, I would need to tell them I love their bright gorgeous shoes, and start off a happy little conversation about them. If you like them too, get them, don’t be put off by negativity!

I have some Hot Chocolate shoes and while they are very fun, they have no support at all. I like the Moshulu ones. I also have some fun shoes from Joanie and Fitflop. Life is too short for boring shoes.

I liked the look of those loafers too. But I've got an instinct now that if something is in an attractive, trendy-but-classic style, it's usually a bit dodge. Like Shein; their designs often catch my eye on google searches, until I check the brand. Wish 'legit' brands would take note - this is what the punters want!

Yes someone flagged its a bit dodgy, I will leave the white shirt alone!

This thread really demonstrates the variety of taste on here! I quite liked the floral loafers, but then I quite like a loafer. I would also vote for Doc Martens, sadly selling my purple ones as they’re too big for me. I also have blue. I’d like some patterned ones. This site is terrible for encouraging me to buy stuff!

LifeOfBriony · 20/08/2025 19:04

I wouldn’t wear them, but if that’s your style, they are quite fun.

SheridansPortSalut · 20/08/2025 19:09

Good Lord. What are you thinking?

FlatErica · 20/08/2025 19:28

No. Just no.

I think they are a bit, "Im mad me" kind of thing middle aged ladies wear here in Glastonbury. I have seen them.

🤣

True they’re a bit ‘trying too hard’ lol. I also think they will just clash horribly all the time unless I imagine you wear neutrals always and there’s certainly no fun in that.

I don't particularly like the loafer version but they have the same pattern as a and I must admit I'm tempted..

The Mary-Janes are lovely. I'm not keen on loafers but tbh, they're a lot better than many things posted on S&B.

SheReallyLikes · 20/08/2025 21:51

I like them, fine with jeans, and I like those red Mary Jane’s.

Life is too short for boring shoes.

go for it…,.I do find that We Do Not Care Lady funny though.

looking closely at the red ones..l

SheReallyLikes · 20/08/2025 21:54

Might have to get the flowery ones, for the price 🙂

Derbee · 20/08/2025 22:25

I like them!

LadeOde · 20/08/2025 23:25

Do they have a matching hat?

£16.99 for leather shoes? Even at full price they seem like an unlikely bargain.

It's a TV shopping channel I believe. Has a score of 4.1 out of 5 on TrustPilot.

CrayCrayMum · 21/08/2025 15:50

I LOVE THEM!!! Imagine getting ready to leave, putting on your boring old coat, covering up your lovely outfit, then BOOM! Show time, shoe time! I am cheered up just thinking of how much fun these are. And now I am off to purchase these for myself.
