Look! 👀
This is what is currently being advertised to me.
£200 + too.
I ask you…

I think they are the Tellytubbies shoes, I’m sure that’s where he got his inspiration?

Jaxjacky Wed 12-Apr-23 21:02:00

Probably what people said when the first converse were sold.

Mollygo Wed 12-Apr-23 21:25:47

I never see exciting things like that. The current ad is this one. I’m not tempted here either.

good grief! I am laughing with some of you.. to each his ownor her own?

Hetty58 Thu 13-Apr-23 16:40:49

Fanny - They'd look good with a chicken outfit for fancy dress. I'm sure that somebody will buy them, though, just to be different. 'A fool and his money are soon parted' after all.

Skechers ( took me three attempts to stop auto-correct trying to insert the ‘t’ ) are the best shoes ever . Every pair of Skechers I’ve had are top notch!! Those lumps of plastic or rubber ?!?! are horrendous .

Sorry but I can't see anything wrong with the blue shoes. To me, they look smaet and comfortable. What's your problem with them?

BigBertha1 Thu 13-Apr-23 16:58:23

Are they for Clingons?

CountryMouse22 Thu 13-Apr-23 16:59:53

Ooh they're lovely. I'll have a pair in every colour.

Growing0ldDisgracefully Thu 13-Apr-23 17:03:36

I had a black pair once something like these, when I'd sat with my plastic sandals on, with my feet up over an electric fire😂

GrammaH Thu 13-Apr-23 17:04:28

I thought they were something rude.....

HowVeryDareYou2 Thu 13-Apr-23 17:08:48

grin. They're hideous and impractical

Kalu Thu 13-Apr-23 17:18:16

I was sent a link for these too Fanny
The phrase, wouldn’t be seen dead in those, came to mind even if they were £1 per ‘shoe’?

Juliet27 Thu 13-Apr-23 17:20:29

I agree about the blue shoes Romola, they don't look too bad to me. Horses for courses I guess.

3dognight Thu 13-Apr-23 17:20:30

I thought they were some sort of cycle helmet. Hard to believe why someone would want a pair…

They look like a 💩

😂😂😂

Marthjolly1 Thu 13-Apr-23 17:23:33

Another one here who could only see cycle helmets. We do live in a crazy world.

Fo a moment, I thought you were referring to the blue Yeezys Romola. 🤦🏼‍♀️😄

spabbygirl Thu 13-Apr-23 17:55:26

I thought they were a cycle helmet too!!! I wouldn't wear them which is just as well as that price, mind you my feet are so painful I'd almost consider them if they're bouncy but I'll stick with the ECCO Dm's I've just ordered

BlueBelle Thu 13-Apr-23 18:00:07

I too thought cycle helmets
Ugly and ridiculous I might buy them for the lady I saw today with the biggest pair of lips you ve ever seen I couldn’t take my eyes off her

Coco51 Thu 13-Apr-23 18:24:24

They look like something that crawled out of a pond!

Coco51 Thu 13-Apr-23 18:28:27

FannyCornforth

Here’s a pair ^in situ^

Is she singing ‘I feel like chicken tonight’?

Cossy Thu 13-Apr-23 18:50:42

The world has truly gone bonkers 😂😂😂😂😂

Gwenisgreat1 Thu 13-Apr-23 18:53:09

They just look weird!

valdali Thu 13-Apr-23 19:51:45

Couldn't convince the young market (not surprised) so they are trying 50+ now? My first thought too - cycle helmet
