Are these sandals nice or horribly unfashionable

[Avocadoo]

I’m 38 and don’t know what’s cool and what’s not.
Are these cool?

Totally agree. Attitude, vibe and style count for so much. I am not going to start looking very generically pleasant because I'm not 20.

I have the slip on ones and I'm about to order those you've asked about. They are so comfortable.

I mean I have the Viba ones. Not the Toast ones.

Omg yes! They look exactly like those Clarks sandals of our childhood!

I think those Toast sandals are horrible. They remind me of university lecturers with wild grey unkempt hair and beards, and bad breath.

You will look at pictures of yourself and wonder what you were thinking. In fact, all of the young cool kids wearing the current boxy tops and wide legged jeans are in for a cringe-fest in 20 years time.

You get "lots of compliments" on those? Really? They're awful! 🤭

ANKLE SOCKS?????

You'll fit right in at The Green Party Conference that's for sure.

If I ever decide to swear off men forever and that I never want to be desired or have sex again - and I might decide that - then I'm heading straight for a new wardrobe from Toast. 🤣

Surely my reply covers 'depends how you wear them'?! You are obviously a non-mumsy 67 year old!

🤣

Sweeping generalisation and a good dose of ageism there. I'm over 45 and think they're bloody ugly. I don't need to do any work to know I don't like them. And no amount of work would change my opinion. Ta.

For the sum of 375 pounds, you too can look like a sinister night nurse at Broadmoor! 🤣🤣

If this outrages you, cool your jets. That price includes the sack AND the slippers! 🤭 This get-up is from Toast.

I wonder if the company actually believes in its products or if they roll about laughing at the things they've managed to convince women to wear??

It's a look 😂

Oh no no no no..

I agree with her!! I'm over 45 and will never be able to look at such sandals without picturing primary school. It amazes me that adults want to wear them. Even as a child I knew they were fuck-ugly and couldn't wait to wear prettier shoes.

I can only echo her. ANKLE SOCKS????????

What look is that? Mad Professor of Halitosis?

Not my cup of tea but they are everywhere.

Amongst many along that very line!

I'm well over 45. No problem here wearing them.

Exactly!!!

Companies like Toast have really done women dirty, with their photography and pretty models and slick marketing making people think that this mode of dress is cool/fashionable/looks good. 🙈

I like fisherman sandals. I wear a sort of cross version of a fisherman sandal and a huarache in summer, the Keen Uneeks, and they are super comfortable.

Yes, but you think ankle socks with Jesus sandals are a look. Lost cause. 🤭🤣

For that sort of money, comfort, but a better vibe, what about the above?

Personally I think they’re a fright. Both pairs.
