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

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

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

FannyCornforth Thu 29-Jun-23 17:29:36

Bargain Meryl!
Thanks Maddy smile

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

maddyone Thu 29-Jun-23 17:27:43

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.

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!

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

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

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. 😂

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

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.

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

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

Deck-chairs for feet good description Dickens.

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

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

How about either of these...

Nah!!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Eurgh! Especially the white ones.
