Russell and Bromley, what were you thinking???? Looks like an old lady's legs have been chopped off! Only £495 when full price. Bargain

Ha ha, they are having a laugh at us. I wonder if they sell any.

SingleUseTeaTowel · 22/01/2026 22:49

heads In procurement should roll for sure

Cotton55 · 22/01/2026 22:50

God these are horrific!!! Surely no one would buy these?!

AgentPidge · 22/01/2026 22:50

Ugh! Horrible.

MissBattleaxe · 22/01/2026 22:52

They look like prosthetic legs!

They look like prosthetic legs!

Haha, they really do!

SingleUseTeaTowel · 22/01/2026 23:07

They slightly resemble an unwrapped Egyptian mummy but more smooth in texture and of course ancient Egyptians didn’t have ‘loafers’ - thankfully

ThePoshUns · 22/01/2026 23:10

lol those really are dreadful. Of If I was Next I’d pull the deal!

Shedeboodinia · 22/01/2026 23:11

The more expensive the boot, the more disgusting and weird it is.
Remember the big red boots that looked like cartoon character feet.
Pasted some examplea of my point below

CARDEN BOOT Stretch Knee High Loafer Boot in Green Leather | Russell & Bromley
Bargain! Shame the sock bit isn't Nora Batty 'nude' wrinklier and surgical stocking colour.

Mullaghanish · 22/01/2026 23:30

😂 worse than Nora Batty tights that slither down from the knee..

SingleUseTeaTowel · 22/01/2026 23:33

I have just seen the price - I’d want ten times that to wear them for an hour and not in a public setting

Mistyglade · 22/01/2026 23:47

Loooooooooool. HIDEOUS!

GarlicSound · 23/01/2026 04:41

🤣🤣🤣

Handy if you can never find your socks. If you were given to wearing weird khaki knee socks with weird khaki loafers.

In which case you should never be allowed out in public.

Francestein · 23/01/2026 04:49

Omg they look like those dolls from the 1970's that had removable, interchangeable limbs. You ripped their lower legs off and swapped them over by jamming new ones in boots on, or high heels. Gruesome.

RonnSeall · 23/01/2026 06:54

Can’t imagine why these are in the sale 🤔

lifesdarkmoth · 23/01/2026 07:00

In a way I quite like them because they are funny, though I’d never wear them.

i imagine they were intended to target people who see fashion as being about being individual and quirky.

Gettingbysomehow · 23/01/2026 07:03

I am an old lady. I wouldn't be seen dead in these.

Petrine · 23/01/2026 07:25

Looks like they’re still available in all sizes… I can’t think why!

butidid · 23/01/2026 09:06

I feel like there's a story here, someone submitted the design as a joke or a dare maybe..

bathsmat · 23/01/2026 09:16

I think they are inspired by the Prada ones, sometimes ugly is just ugly though!

labalap · 23/01/2026 09:24

Wow. Surely those were intended as a joke? Who can possibly have approved them for actual manufacture and retail?

Anyway, many thanks, OP - this has given me a good laugh this morning!

Purplecatshopaholic · 23/01/2026 09:36

I have a few R&B shoes/boots from back in the day, but they really seem to have lost their way recently. And these monstrosities confirm it! Truly a pair of boots that style not only forgot, but never knew in the first place..

Lowbuy2026 · 23/01/2026 09:40

I'm grateful for them - I'm trying not to shop this year, this makes it so much easier! Hideous, expensive, no will power required!

sesamecroissant · 25/01/2026 01:12

They’re horrendous but I still love the brand and they’re currently going into administration 😭😭
