And here's the Trustpilot reviews.

It's another Chinese drop shipping site. You might as well go direct to Temu or Shein.

It's getting to the stage that if despite all the warnings and all the advice to read reviews or search with google lens people STILL decide to order from these shitty sites, they deserve everything they get. Or don't get. Or get something completely unlike what they think they've ordered.

Could you ask your very stylish workmate where hers were from, @SinuousTendrils ??

Since that site isn't a very legit one, it probably wasn't Loren Amor?

The ones the woman had were clarks, i just used the link for an example image.
I have never and would never buy anything from temu or the like. Or Clarks for that matter.

Why post links to dodgy websites?

Why be so prickly about a pair of sandals?
We all come on here because we're bored/ want a distraction, but really.

Because these fake sites are everywhere and several people have lost money buying from them.

Seeing one of these scam sites on a MN thread lends them more credibility. That's why.

SinuousTendrils · 21/07/2026 13:49

My bad. 🙄
As mentioned, it was the first image I came upon.
Time to quit MN i think.

Why not Clarks? Ok, so their footwear might not be terribly exciting a lot of the time - but I've had a few pairs from them in the dim & distant past & they were fine?

Thank you! They're quite nice - but the shape does have that slightly "toddler shoe" rounded wider look to it? I look silly in anything too girly/child-like - some people carry it off well, but I can't!

Whereas the (in real life probably badly made & shitty quality) Temu/Shein ones have a more grown-up/elegant shape/look to them ... not that I am going to buy them!

Why do toddlers have foot friendly shoe shapes? To protect their tender young feet.

Why do realistic older women like a wider shoe box?

wider question… why do women ever get manipulated into distorting their foot shape into very narrow shapes?

corsets for the feet.

Perhaps - but I have long narrow feet!

They look comfortable.

I think they're kinda cute 😅

Birkenstocks - just buy a pair of their Tokio sandals

When I was little I used to enjoy designing wacky and out-there footwear and drawing up blue-prints of the shoes, before using old bits of cardboard, rolls and rolls of sellotape, pipe cleaners and lengths of crazily-coloured string to make them. Sometimes my Mum would help me to use the glue gun to make them extra-professional (yknow, just like the real artisans). I was a deranged, preschool cobbler and once I’d made these many pairs of shoes I would put on fashion shows showcasing several pairs at a time for my lucky parents and grandparents.

I tell you this because I can say without a shadow of a doubt that I would rather wear any one of those pairs of shoes designed by my four-year-old self— including a pair that memorably utilised the labels from several cans of Whiskas so that the shoes had a collage of terrifying cat faces on the front of them— than whatever the fuck any of these are. Extra points to @Gateappreciationwho linked to the worst looking shoes in the history of footwear. It was a challenge, but you rose to the occasion. Bravo! 👏🏻

I feel like you’ve given away a good idea there with the whiskas ones. On a catwalk (!) before you know it

Oh op I’m sorry but they’re awful 🙈🙈🙈

I agree they are absolutely hideous!!!

Anyone over the age of 60 would be wearing these and not a year younger.

I'm over the age of 60 and I wouldn't wear them.

I don't get the love for closed toe sandals either, my feet would get too hot.

thisisrubbish · 26/07/2026 08:32

Sorry, I think they are ugly

Chagalaga23 · 26/07/2026 08:58

I'm eyeing up these sandals but can't decide. Thoughts please?

I am terrible for buying fugly sandals as I want something comfy, then they arrive and I decide they are awful and send them back 😅

I want something closed toe with a back strap for driving/ walking/ work in the summer (my work is quite casual though). Just something I can wear with casual dresses and shorts. That line between comfy but vaguely fashionable is hard to find.

Also welcome other suggestions!

Honestly? They're quite hideous...
