errr no not for me, sorry. They remind me of shoes ladies of a certain age wear ie 50+

Ronaldinhio · 23/05/2010 19:46

I think that they are disgusting and mainly worn by women with swollen feet rolling over the top and out the sides

usualsuspect · 23/05/2010 19:48

I'm 50+ and I don't like them

BabbatheHun · 23/05/2010 19:49

OMG.

No.

Only if you're 16. Otherwise you'll look as if you've embraced middle age

Amapoleon · 23/05/2010 19:50

horrible, they remind me of my nan's. Sorry.

Disenchanted3 · 23/05/2010 19:50

ok.

Thnaks.

Hmmm... I can see your point, they have a certain appeal to me too. I think if you were under 30ish and looked younger, you'd be alright.

They look comfy too...

When I was 6 I was in Miss Eade's class at school. Miss Eade was truly ancient, seriously little old lady. At storytime we used to sit round the floor by her feet. She wore American tan tights and her toenails needed cutting.

Miss Eade wore those shoes.

My mum used to wear ones just like that in the 80s.

RustyBear · 23/05/2010 19:56

I'm 53 and I hate them...

Kids don't wear wedges... that's what kills them IMO. Not nice.

And -as SuSylvester will testify- I love Granny shoes.

grumpypants · 23/05/2010 19:58

yuk. but then i have just bought these, which do fit your colour scheme... www.amazon.co.uk/Kangaroos-Womens-Appleby-Pump-10ST1309W/dp/B00359F9UY/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=shoes&qi d=1274641016&sr=1-4

I like them

and so does my DP.... he says 'in a retro cool kinda way'. He is neither retro nor cool - so take that how you like

(maybe he's a little bit cool)

Disenchanted3 · 23/05/2010 20:13

i wanted these in navy but are out of stock

See I don't like those at all.

Good that we are all different and have different taste, huh?

Get the first ones, wear with pride and set a new trend

hormonesnomore · 23/05/2010 20:28

I quite like them, but then I'm a granny and a bit retro. They look cool and comfy.

However,
