2 pairs of leather moccassins for £35 a choice of umpteen colours..but something's amiss about them. To be fair I'm not normally a big fan but have worn a moccasin style of shoe for work in the past and have found them really comfortable. I'm in need of new work shoes so this would be a good offer. We have to wear black footwear, unfortunately the white sole would be a no no for them - so that's a bit of a bitch - possibly would get away with it if the soles were a bit shallower but there's far too much white visible.
I almost considered buying a couple of pairs anyway in the other colourways, but changed my mind as in my opinion this style of shoe only goes well with the preppy look (totally not my style) or leggings, and I don't intend to spend the rest of my summer in leggings. They'd look totally wrong with a summer dress, or skirt, possibly ok with certain shorts/pedal pushers. I do have a pair of longer length shorts which are khaki but I think these shoes would look ridiculous with them as the balance would be all wrong.
I also thought that when close up on the models, the leather looked pretty cheap - was that just me being picky? So in all would've been a fantastic work shoe if it wasn't for the white soles and I'd have bought 2 pairs. Other than that unfortunately they're a bit "Molly" (that's an 80's saying for frumpy - possibly just a Southern thing)! As for Ms Jacks harping on about the orange ones as she sits there wearing them with leggings and a blouse she'd definitely not be seen dead in outside of the studio....I don't believe her. I believe she likes the colour, but I don't think she'd wear those shoes in a million years!
