I love all shiny things but dont want to go out looking like Barbie dress up.
I sometimes make questionable fashion choices. I bought these clip on shoe decorations from Amazon for an occasion where I will be wearing a silver skirt.
Yes cute
No Barbie dress up.
I dont normally wear these shoes with camo trousers. Just trying them on.

I like them

RosesAndHellebores · 20/03/2026 21:56

I like them. They were all the rage in the 80s

TheRealLillyAllenVerifiedAccount · 20/03/2026 21:57

Probably depends on the outfit?

In primary, I used to put hair grips on my school shoes to make them sparkly! 🤣

I think they are fine. A good way to change the 'feel' of shoes, particularly when you are weight restricted when traveling.

Gettingbysomehow · 20/03/2026 22:03

The shoes look green in the photo they are actually cream. I dont remember clip ons in the 80s. I should do. I was in my 20's then. But then it was a long time ago.

I actually quite like them. The shape of the clip goes perfectly with the shoe style.

I like the sparkly bits more than the shoes tbh. I feel like a warmer jewel on those shoes or a more silver/cool tone shoe with those jewels would work better.

Agree with pp on the tone issue, warm shoe tone with cool toned clippies is a potential clash. Overall nice though.

Oh man! I worked in a shoe shop when I was a teenager in the late 80’s and clip ons were all the rage, but they seem to have disappeared for a few decades.

thetinsoldier · 20/03/2026 22:51

I like them!

Gettingbysomehow · 20/03/2026 23:01

I have different colour shoes I can try them on. I see ypur point. They might look better on black or navy.

Cute on either shoe, imo!

Gettingbysomehow · 20/03/2026 23:25

Thanks. I have such ridiculous wide feet. These shoes are EE. I thought they might take the attention off the widest part.

Stands out more on the darker shoe.

You have lovely feet op....

I have wide feet too but after many a decade of 15 hr shifts on my feet, mine are wrecked hobbity hooves, if I tried to put sparkle on mine, it would be like putting a tiara on Shrek, and calling it a glow up.

Fret not!

Haha I know shat you mean I used to be a nurse. I wore hideous EE fitville trainers like frankenstein shoes but they did protect my feet from wear and tear. Surprisingly the pointy shoes are very comfortable because they are the right width.

Us with equally wide feet need to know where the shoes are from now!

I also worked long shifts on my feet and I'm convinced it's why they spread out over the years!!

GoldenCupsatHarvestTime · 21/03/2026 23:10

Love them. Very Bridgerton!

Various places. The ream ones are from van dal. I also buy from Clarkes but most of my shoes come from ebay brand new. Im a half size too to complicate matters. I put in 5.5 EE and see what comes up.
Ive had some fantastic shoes from ebay. Also Amazon. They are doing a lot of wide fit shoes now.

I like them on both pairs, maybe the cream more. I’ve attached clip-ons to shoes, works well for a whole new pair of shoes without buying any!

Amiacoolorwarmcolour · 23/03/2026 05:34

I like the clip ons.
Op- I was thinking what nice feet you have, unlike my extremely wide feet which I struggle to find comfortable shoes for. Glad to hear you have wide feet too.
