Take a look at these bad boys. They are by Balmain and would set you back between £800 and £1,100

I don’t ‘get’ them, they look like small fishing vessels to me.

FannyCornforth Thu 29-Jun-23 13:32:36

And in situ

Smileless2012 Thu 29-Jun-23 13:39:01

Yes! The one on the left looks like an orthopaedic speedboat! 🚤

FannyCornforth Thu 29-Jun-23 13:56:06

The one on the right, I mean.
I’m making so many mistakes.
I don’t know what the matter is with me confused

Wonderful grin Oh dear, they do say "a fool and their money are easily parted"

FannyCornforth love the orthopaedic speedboat description.

What kind of ugly monstrosities are THOSE???

I make an excellent salary and I certainly don't buy expensive shoes. (These would be WELL outside my price range.) I don't even buy shoes that would be considered a little more pricey but not outrageous.

Just horrible.

FannyCornforth Thu 29-Jun-23 15:32:04

Thanks allsortsofbags!
It would be a great name for a band.
The Orthopaedic Speedboats 🤘🎸

How about either of these...

FannyCornforth Thu 29-Jun-23 15:58:21

Eurgh! Especially the white ones.

toscalily Thu 29-Jun-23 16:04:22

They look like something you would be forced to wear after an accident!

lovebeigecardigans1955 Thu 29-Jun-23 16:06:20

Oh dear! But, having seen these I recall the platform shoes I wore as a teenager - they can't have been much better.

annodomini Thu 29-Jun-23 16:12:29

Hideous, uncomfortable and undoubtedly far beyond an ordinary mortal's price range.

Nah!!

Deck-chairs for feet...

I have no doubt Mrs. Sunak will have some; she was photographed wearing a pair of sheepskin 'slides' from Prada that cost £700.

Smileless2012 Thu 29-Jun-23 16:29:06

They look so uncomfortable Blondiescot more like a form of torture.

Deck-chairs for feet good description Dickens.

Smileless2012 Thu 29-Jun-23 16:30:23

Well I shouldn't comment on the cost as I have some rather expensive shoes myself in my collection but at least they look good. Well I think so anyway.

I know! I find any kind of toe post sandals uncomfortable anyway, but both of those just look horrendous.

AGAA4 Thu 29-Jun-23 16:51:55

My feet are tingling with pain just looking at these items of torture.

Allsorts Thu 29-Jun-23 16:59:18

Well my new ones, very sensible I thought and lovely in the shop, well known brand, so comfortable, I looked for weeks until I found them, I went out in them today and had to come back and put my feet into a bowl of water they ached so, A waste of money as you can’t return shoes once walked out in.
