Are these frumpy? Please be honest, I have no judgement wrt shoes any more

[doggiesayswoof]

Black, studs

Brown

I think they are but I'm really fussy about shoes

a bit middle aged

not really frumpy but not WOW either

Yes they are, to be frumpy with studs is quite a skill.

They may look better in RL.

I don't like sandals at all so probably best not to comment, although I wouldn't say frumpy.

Not sure they would look good on...

they're ok. so many gladiator styles about. Some styles are prettier versions of those, but I bet those are really easy to walk around in. (i walk a lot so I never wear little bejewelled flip flops because they just won't get worn. I like knice shoes for going out though! not a frump honest

I can't believe I put a K in front of nice.

Hmmm

as I thought

I have bought the brown ones but they could still be going back

My feet are terrible since having DC2, they are wider than they used to be and they swell up etc, so I need sandals to be really soft and comfy otherwise I just end up never wearing them

Also will be walking a fair bit on holiday, so need comfy flats

They are incredibly comfy, really soft suede inner

any other ideas?

Magaly that's it exactly

I have tried on other glads which I know will rub everywhere and cut my feet to shreds - but they look better too

The black ones are suede and they are soooo soft - almost like slippers - I tried them on

katycarr lol I know - frumpy with studs...

The brown ones are horrendously frumpy.

The black ones aren't really me, but I guess they could look OK on someone else with leggings.

I really don't like either pair but I'm not one to care about comfort where shoes are concerned...

I was going to suggest Ecco or Geox but they look pretty dull too. Sorry can't think of another comfortable type. Link here which might be useful?

These are dead comfy and look v nice on. Not at all frumpy.

Yes they are frumpy but comfortable shoes often are.

What about these gladiators? They look good and pretty comfy.

Had to see to DC and then stupid browser crashed

thanks for links, will check them out

Tis the perennial problem really, you tend to have to choose comfort or loveliness, you don't really get both

How about these in metallic?

Super comfy but a little more stylish.

You could buy fitflops for now. Easy to try and return if they I are not for you if you use John Lewis online. I live in them

I love those M&S ones - sadly only in my size in the weird colour they call "dusky pink"

Maybe a nicer colour in the flesh than they look in the picture

rosie I have never tried fitflops - always thought they were pricey

Call m&s and they'll try and locate you a pair in a store.

Never thought of that
I have a lot to learn about shopping

fit flops or birkenstocks... loads of nice colours and patterns... incredibly comfy

very frumpy im afraid

I think it's the suede. If they were leather, they might look a little less frumpy.
They do look incredibly comfy though. God I truly love Clarks.

yes, I do find them frumpy

yes awful..sorry Clarks have much better sandals if you want flat and comfy.
