i think those mary Poppins ones need to be worn with a GREAT deal of style or just look like butch shoes.

CybilLiberty · 09/09/2009 18:27

at the shoes on this thread.

to quote Mr McEnroe - YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!!!

LOL I had very similar ones when I first started school with a really blocky heel. My mother mad eme wear them!

I bought some patent lace up brogues from KG a few years ago- they have purple laces, I've still not too brave to wear them yet not sure what they'd go with TBH.

I bought them! Well, they were £11 off.

Can't wait for them to arrive. Must start pulling out clothes for that sexy librarian look

I'm with LTEC - every single shoe on this thread has been clunky, orthopaedic looking and just FUGLY!

Why are heinous shoes fashionable now? I missed the memo.

T'is not sexy librarian, t'is more this

Ooh I like them all, not ugly at all. I like Nora Batty's shoes there too, Bunny.

MadameCastafiore · 11/09/2009 10:18

Vile Vile Vile - what is it with these shoes that make you look like you have pigs trotters for feet that are all the rage at the mo!

I went into Kurt Geiger yesterday and was appalled at the stumpy wide crappy shoes that they had on display!

PippiL · 11/09/2009 14:46

I like Nora Batty too. I'm going for that dominant woman look!

Though did go back to Clarks and loving the amount of patent in there. Takes me back to my childhood.

I'm still hankering after the ref patents ones.

They are Amish.

Step away.

PippiL · 11/09/2009 15:40

I don't know much about the Amish but I am fairly sure patent shoes are out!

really, really wrong. Have not yet recovered from shock of ugliness, still less from fact that handful of people exist on this thread who would willingly part with cash for them!!

Fimbo · 11/09/2009 17:51

The have flat ones similar to Noah's in Lands End. Which basically says it all.

I only know because they sent a sale catalogue to me. (I bought a mac from there once but it was nice)

I agree they are vile. Like the shoes we used to wear to school in the late 1970's, only clunkier heels!
