My lovely husband, despite me saying please do not buy me clothes bought me these Skechers Goga Mat sandals for Christmas. He thought they’d be fine for our holidays. They are nothing like I usually wear though - I tend to buy a tan leather strappy sandal that will go with most outfits.
I never buy mules as a rule as they tend to slip about and I really don’t want a broken ankle.
Im not keen how they look but to be honest for the beach on holiday and schlepping around broken Greek roads im not very precious and they are reasonably inoffensive.
They are very light, very comfortable to wear but they do scream granny to me. I’m completely torn as to whether to pop them on Vinted or just keep them and try them on holiday. Apologies for the awful nail varnish and hairy legs - it’s still winter!
opinions please!

I would sell them personally.
If you do put them on vinted I wouldn’t use photos of them being worn. Maybe it’s just me but it always puts me off buying clothes or shoes to see them modelled by the seller.

Keep them and try them. Nobody will be looking at your feet.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 22/02/2026 10:14

But don’t wear them on longer walks- you need something with straps for that.

Thatwaskindoffun · 22/02/2026 10:16

Sell them, immediately! They’re not that practical for walking on unmade surfaces and more importantly they’re horrific from a purely style and beauty perspective which is the space you’re asking in.

BusterGonad · 22/02/2026 10:21

Agree with the previous poster.

OrsolaRosso · 22/02/2026 10:21

They look like the slider/mules I use as slippers/house shoes. Comfortable, handy for putting the bins out, but not for wearing out.

BelleEpoque27 · 22/02/2026 10:23

You don't love them, so sell them. You'll just resent them otherwise.

They don't look useful for walking anyway - I'd maybe wear them to schlep down for breakfast or to walk to the beach, but they're not good for long walks.

TheChosenTwo · 22/02/2026 10:23

Yikes they’re not very nice! I’d be getting rid of them pretty quickly 🫣

CluelessAboutBiology · 22/02/2026 10:28

Your husband bought these for you as a present?

Specialagentblond · 22/02/2026 10:30

Just wear them round the house.

RuthW · 22/02/2026 10:31

Sell them. I’m 57 and I’m far too young to wear shoes like that.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 22/02/2026 10:13

But the op doesn’t like them so she’ll be looking.

Id sell them op. They are not very exciting or flattering are they?

alantitchmarshswife · 22/02/2026 10:32

Thank you! Confirmed my thoughts. Vinted they go!

Goodness me. They’re awful. Put them on Vinted immediately! Try Geox for comfy but fashionable sandals.

Branleuse · 22/02/2026 10:36

Could you not return them to the store? Can't imagine you've worn them outdoors at this time of year.

Branleuse · 22/02/2026 10:39

I have skechers foamies sandals with a strap that I recommend if you were able to swap them in store?

When I become prime minister I will be banning Sketchers entirely. All of them!

They’ll sell easily on Vinted though OP!

Nooo some of the sandals are ok.

EscapadeVelocity · 22/02/2026 10:51

They look dangerous. That fabric will stretch unexpectedly while you’re crossing a fast road with a huge lorry trundling towards you …

Don’t sell - burn them.

MTOandMe · 22/02/2026 11:40

Branleuse · 22/02/2026 10:48

Why?

Because they’re the ugliest shoes I have ever seen! I appreciate it’s subjective but I’ll be Prime Minister so….

OK Miss Perfect Feet.

Marylou62 · 22/02/2026 13:17

These are my slippers! In my defence I have chronic plantar fascitis so can't wear much else. But they are awful and I would never wear them outside the house..

ClaredeBear · 22/02/2026 13:19

I agree with PPs - sell without the feet.

Bristolandlazy · 22/02/2026 13:32

They're ugly. Husband do better!
