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

Those shoes are ugly, for that reason alone I wouldn’t wear them. Shoes are my weakness as well as chocolate.

The beige pair with the fluorescent green edgings look like snow boots - the kind you clip on over other boots to keep you upright when trekking through the snowy mountains. 😂

I’ve just bought these retro sandals to wear with white ankle socks and my tea dresses.

I’ve worked out that a 40s style is the best way for me to be comfortable in the hot weather.

They aren’t the cheapest, but they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever bought.
They are amazing

I really recommend the company.
They only make retro shoes from the turn of the century to the 50s.
It’s called memery. It’s Danish company

There’ll always be idiots with tooooo much money.

Quite! My dear grandmother used to say they’ve more money than sense. She was clearly right!

Oooh Fanny, very retro and fashionable.
I’m a firm believer in Skechers. They’re so comfortable. I’m wearing their flip flops now because it’s hot because I’m in Greece. Lovely.

I think my charity shop buy today was much better value at £2.
And they’re Clarkes.

Bargain Meryl!
Thanks Maddy smile

Here are my Skechers today (I’ve got lots of pairs.)

FannyCornforth Thu 29-Jun-23 17:38:42

Ooh they do look nice. Very soft.
Unfortunately I can’t wear toe posts at all.

They're very ugly shoes

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

Could I sail over to Australia in them?

How about these? As worn by Angela Constance (Scottish Justice Minister confused)

I think the gold sandals are rather lovely but I also think they would be decidedly uncomfortable but may be wrong if the stretch between toes is rounded and pliable.

How could she! Squashing their little heads down like that 😥

Callistemon21 Thu 29-Jun-23 19:46:47

I wish I had lovely feet ☹

Aveline Thu 29-Jun-23 20:34:07

Have a pedicure Callistemon? They make my feet look and feel lovely (to me anyway!). It's the only 'treatment' I have.

Oh dear, that is very silly.
Was she wearing them ‘on her days off’?

Aveline I’d say those ones were probably from Irregular Choice, so around the £150 mark. I love some of their styles/designs but think a lot of them look very uncomfortable. Designed for narrow feet without bunions, hammer toes, etc.

It's a structural problem, Aveline ☹

Callistemon21 Thu 29-Jun-23 23:28:03

Although yes, I might as it's getting more difficult to trim the nails and paint them, I'm not as flexible as I was!

My feet are quite hideous. The only thing that would sort them out would be a transplant.!! 🤓

They are comfy Fanny but I don’t wear them to go out. I’ve got Skecher sandals for that and Sketcher trainers and Sketcher ‘ballet’ pumps. They’re all really comfy and don’t have toe posts. They have memory foam inside to walk on.

I do own other shoes that aren’t Skechers but Skechers are my go to shoes most days.

Yes they will be Irregular Choice I have seen them being worn when we went to Ladies Day at Aintree my DD has 3 pairs by this Company she buy's them when they have a sale always a really good discount they are surprisingly comfortable to wear.

You do not buy shoes like this for any rational reason. You only buy them to advertise how much you can afford to pay for shoes and what a slave to fashion and street cred you are.
