I thiknk it depends what you are wearing them with.

I love mmary jane style, but with a heel, and I have short, not fat, but stocky ,legs.

I think maybe a very flat shoe with a high t bar would not look good on less than perfect legs.

Tell us more. Wat are the shoes like? what are you wearing them with and what are your legs actually like?

Agree depends what you wear with. Lowish t-bar and heel more flattering than high and no heel

with a heel ok
less of a problem than ankle straps
also much depends on ankles

your lower legs are not fat jobschmob!

I am not sure about t-bar though, might have a shortening effect?

jobschmob · 02/10/2008 16:01

thanks! i agree-i am too short already so will probably need to go shopping, bother.

Your legs are good!!

You can get away with those shoes, but they are not the most flattering style on anyone.

thanks szyslak, must admit that i don't have a clue!!

I remember being forced to wear t-bar shoes as a child, and having many tears and tantrums in shoe shops because I was desperate for slip-ons!

It's beyond me why any sane adult would wear them out of choice.....

I must admit to liking these and Mary Jane style in general.

Aefondkiss · 02/10/2008 20:29

I think the t-bar with a pale strap is okay... what are you going to be wearing? Is it for general wear or special occasion ?

You have good legs so it shouldn't be too hard...

jobschmob · 02/10/2008 21:21

special occasion, gulp.
i like those red ones, lovely. was thinking of getting just some plain black heels, oh god i don't know!
