- Some shoes are trendy and fashionable but they're plain UGLY! It doesn't matter if you wearing the most beautiful dress if you're wearing ugly shoes you outfit won't look elegant because you can never walk gracefully in heavy and clompy, ugly shoes.

Please do a video on elegant shoes you can walk in for 4-8 hours outside
That could be a pair of clean white sneaker!
Agree 100%. Just because something is in style doesn’t make it fashionable or sophisticated!
I totally agree with you
I don't own any of these except for some beautiful Doc Browns that I wear thru autumn and winter if necessary... It depends on the occasion.
Agree! 👍🌞
amen to that !
Amen!!
Wear shoes that are healthy for your feet. Fancy shoe companies will NOT pay for your doctor's appointments to correct the damage their "stylish" shoes create!!!
Yes, not so elegant later on in life. Some people become literally crippled.
True true! Years of pointy heels and now in my later years my feet are a wreck and sandals are a distant memory. I was glamorous in my youth .. but the price I paid is definitely not worth it. Now shoes are so hard to find to fit my horrible feet. Sigh… what price beauty?
Yep and just because some styles are ugly to some they might not be ugly to some others and doesn't make them any less elegant if choose to wear them
I agree 100%. The high-heeled clogs made me roar with laughter. As a Dutchwoman I can tell you that clogs were designed for use in marshes and farmlands! But here's my question: what does the elegant woman with arthritis wear?
Having worn pointy heeled shoes for too many years - they were the finest, however they still resulted in my disforming my toes, I wholeheartedly applaud what I consider to be the “ liberation of the feet”. Why sacrifice health to beauty when we can have both? There are many aspects of the new shoes aesthetic that I love, good common sense is one of them.
I so agree, I have feet issues as well. I often wonder why women put themselves through the things they do for fashion. You don’t see men doing this.
But rubber flip-flops isn’t one of them. Sorry. Leave them at the beach.
Silicone toe separators will help realign the toes. It may take a few months of regular use (I wear them at night) but you will see improvement.
I have found Dansko clogs to be extremely comfortable and move naturally. You can't wear them with everything but they look great with a pair of jeans and a sweater/blazer
I agree 100% with the shoes/sandals you chose to cover. Every time I see the Birkenstock style sandal, it makes me think of Fred Flintstone, and he didn’t wear sandals, he just had big feet. And that’s what that style does to anyone who wears them. Question? Why do women wear thick-soled boots with a beautiful outfit? I’ll never know. You may have guessed, you really hit a chord with me. Thanks for covering these ugly shoes and sandals.
Maybe people like myself with arthritis of the feet who can’t put pressure on their big toe? We have to wear rigid soles that don’t bend and shoes with a wide toe box. Not attractive but no option.
@@Ilovechicpeas Hi llovechicpeas, you know you’re the exception to the rule. I’m referring to people who don’t need to wear them, but do. I have two friends who wear the more stylish flat shoes because of bad surgery and arthritis. Thanks for sharing.
For some of us with foot problems, Birkenstocks are a Godsend and the only sandal we can wear in the summer. Dainty shoes ruined my feet, and wearing Birkenstocks have corrected my foot issues.
Wear what makes you happy is the best style tip.
A smile is the greatest fashion accessory that finishes any outfit 😊
@@natmiller6863 You got it‼️👍🏼
I mentioned above that I don't own these kind of shoes and I have never worn any, but ladies let me tell you something....
The older we get the more our body changes as well... and those one's who are now arrogant, who have never had any issues with their body or legs or arms or whatever might end up some day with exact these *shoes*.
If they like it - or not ‼️
To me, clothes, shoes and accessories are all about play, not about being "classy", sophisticated, etc., unless of course that is your priority, and that's fine too. My adult daughter is very "classical" in her look, it works for her. I used to be, but I'm not anymore, as it doesn't work well on me. I like to "break" an outfit with something totally unexpected, knocking the whole thing a bit off kilter. That's the "play" part for me. 😊
Yes, the ugly clunky shoes are not elegant and pretty. But, I live in a city amd we have to walk. Sometimes 10 miles a day. None of the stylish shoes have enough support for my lifestyle. Loafers come close but my feet are narrow and I walk right out of them. What to do?
Thank you for this video! I agree...don't lose looking elegant to follow trends like these. I also had clogs a long time ago and they weren't comfortable at all. I have resisted buying them again.
Was so happy to see clogs come back. I loved them "the first time around" and I love them now. Comfortable? I must say I find them very, very comfortable to walk, never any problems getting around in them.
TOTALLY 💯 AGREE!! They are FUN 🤩
The golf clubs got me! 😆🤣 This reminds me of Olive Oil of “Popeye” cartoons. 😆. 5:18
I was having to walk with a cane before I bought Birkenstock. Fashion is great,but healthy feet matter more and I am thankful for these shoes.
Yes, these shoes look ugly. But some of them have soles or padding in them to make them feel as though you are walking on pillows. Some people need the support of thick straps to hold the shoe on their feet.
Others have foot issues that prevent them from wearing the elegant shoes we would all love to have.
I cannot wear slip ons, slides or loafers. No matter what, they fall off my feet. I wear what is comfortable for me to wear and walk in. If they look ugly, there are more important things in life than ugly shoes. Anyway, I can look elegant from the ankles up. Lol.
My mother would fall if she wore anything that would slip off her feet 🦶🏻 & that, for her could be deadly.
I completely agree, they are all so ugly. Why do people want to ruin a beautiful outfit with the wrong shoes!
You forgot one! Crocs. Aaaaaarrrggghhhh!!!!!!
I have some very fine looking wedges that are beautiful with longer dresses. Having spent my youth in 4” stilettos, my ankles and toes are now distorted to the point I need an operation. I now require comfort and balance instead of the classic elegance of a high heel.
I’m a classic dresser and always complemented on what I put together, so I think it’s just about finding a good balance, I also think it depends on what type of woman you are. Confidence is everything, no matter what you wear.
I agree with you on all these picks. I have been skipping so many trendy shoes and sticking to my classics!
I had cloggs when I was a teenager...they're noisy, and very uncomfortable!
I’ve been diagnosed with big toe arthritis and as a result am unable to wear heels which I love. Unfortunately for some, the type of shoes you featured are the only ones people like myself can wear due to limited movement in the big toe.
I have the same problem.
same... I understand you
And me.
Yours are REAL LIFE issues, Which make one realize:
we should be careful in the JUDGMENT 👩⚖️ others’ choices.
I completely agree with you. Your golf club visual says it all.
I used to wear clunky espadrille wedges as a teenager; my mum always said that it looked like I had a couple of house bricks on my feet! I used to roll my eyes at the time, but looking back....she was absolutely right!
Even the spanish queen wears espadrilles in the summer en she looks very stylisch.
The goed ones are handmade and they are very comfortabel.
@@tolde I am sure they can be comfortable; they just look bad!
You are so so honest about these trends.
I really appreciate and respect your opinion.
I find a lot of the "trendy, fashionable" shoes so ugly! I don't understand! Sometimes people have such a nice outfit, and then you look at the shoes...😆. Thank you for this video!
I agree - those shoes can ruin a lovely completely! 🙁
Sunny regards 🌞
Gemma, totally agree with you on all these! I had a chuckle on the "golf club" look! Thanks
Totally agree! I think some designers are sitting back & laughing their heads off at the shoe-fashion victims clomping around like Frankenstein's monster.
My biggest mistake purchase this year that I splurged on were the chunky loafers. I wore them once and felt like I was wearing cement clodhoppers. In the donation bin! What a waste, but a lesson learned.
I love the look of lots of these chunky shoes and am enjoying the trend. I love the juxtaposition of the the heavy masculine footwear with the feminine pieces or with the more androgynous suit or tailored trousers. I pulled the look into my wardrobe with a couple of pieces and I’m loving it!
Exactly, this woman is conflating elegance with outdated. Also I have long toned legs so they actually look quite nice in a chunky hee the flat sandals and slip on white heel she recommended was old maiden
Dear and classy Gemma, I couldn’t agree more!!! Love your videos. Thank you. ❤️
Loved everything! Your style is amazing. Keep up the good work! Sending lots of love 💕
The short video clip of the clogs had me laughing out loud. 🤣😂😆🤣😂
🤣😂😆🤣😂
Not all the time you want to look “elegant” and “sotisphicated”!!! Thats shoes are perfect for an fun saturday afternoon 🧐
I so agree with you!! I cannot handle these chunky sandals!! Ugh
With the exception of the 'fisherman sandal' I totally agree with you about the others as have a pair of the former (cognac in color and have a good gripping sole) as might wear them for protection of my toes on certain terrains as well in a warm climate, where otherwise one might choose sneakers/trainers which do not appeal to me. On that note however, slip on sandals with a low block or kitten heel and single vamp strap IMO are not only that unstable to walk in but can be very noisy on rigid surfaces with their flap-flap-flap-flap..... 😊.
Totally agree with your wise assessments!
Well I guess I’m the villain in this story: I own two pairs of clogs, I own Birkenstocks and the fisherman sandals as well, all these shoes are utility pieces meant for hiking, cycling, beach walks, summer activities, travel, gardening etc. Ugly? For sure -I would never wear them to town OR when dressed up. In our summer house and on holiday? Yeah baby!
@Nelly understandably so! English is not my first language either...😜🇸🇪
Doesn’t make you a villain, just yourself, and that is always the way to go.
The right shoe(s) for the right occasion(s)! 👍😉
Sunny regards 🌞
I own several pairs of Birkenstock’s, and I’m planning to buy some fisherman sandals as well. No apologies from me. Just like I’m not a fan of high heels (I do love kitten heels, low wedges and a small block heel) . I think high heels can translate as overdone and overly thought out. But, each person likes what they like.
lol guess I'm the villain's villain then...I wouldn't be caught dead wearing birkenstocks or fisherman sandals, not even while hiking or cycling or faffing around in the garden 😂 but what's a villain's villain called?
I don't know how you kept a straight face throughout your video, Gemma! It gave me the giggles. Your analogy to the golf clubs is spot on! And the clunking clog walking video.....haha!
I am a nurse and wear black leather clogs with my scrubs. I'm on my feet in these for 12hr shifts. Wouldn't wear them if they weren't comfortable. But not for general wear for me. I had a navy leather wooden sole pair in the early 80s and yes they were noisy 😄
Totally agree, I have been looking for a chunky shoe, but have not found a pair I like. I have skinnie ankles so I can't do too chunky.
It's all a matter of opinion. I like both of those styles of shoes, and conduct myself like a lady. And yes, even with elegance.
You are spot on!🤗
I literally despise the ugly dad sandals, Birkenstock’s 😱 UGH!!! Any shoes with very thick soles don’t allow your foot to bend when you walk, so you can’t walk gracefully. Agree on the chunky boots too, can’t we decide what looks great, regardless of the fashion statement of the year?
I remember seeing a comic strip about Birkenstock's. I never forgot it! The first frame had a doctor telling his female patient he was unfortunately out of birth control. The second frame had him holding up a pair of Birkenstock sandals and saying, "Just use these instead." Hahaha!
I live at the beach and wear a polished boho capsule and wow my shearling Birkenstocks were fantastic for the season. It was a major stretch for me to wear those, now I get the popularity,
Women w/ thick ankles/calves can pull of some chunky platform sandals, b/c it creates the illusion that the ankle is smaller. I’m tempted to buy Birkenstock’s b/c they look so comfortable. 😄
I have two pair of the Veronica Beard Dacey clogs, and while I love them, you’re correct, they clomp when I walk and can only be worn for a few hours at a time.
I had some…just purged them from my closet for my annual spring cleaning! 💐🌷💞
I'm so glad you did this video
Hi there! Love your content! Please consider doing something on how you wash, store and care for your clothes.
Oh, Gemma! Bravo!! I am so on board with your thoughts about all these shoes! Chunky shoes equals Clunky shoes and definitely not flattering on the foot! Straps around the ankles actually cut off the leg “at the ankle”! Sometimes, I wonder…don’t they look in the mirror, ya know? Thank you for bringing this topic to light! 💕
Usually if you have long toned legs tclucky shoes work well because you aren't vying for every inches of leg real estate. I'm my opion her recommendations were a bit grandmother's and maternal looking. White slip on heal and white slip on sandals like what is this a retirement catalogue?
Robert Clergerie makes the most beautiful iterations of platform footwear for any stylish, elegant and modern woman.
Thank God someone finally said it! Couldn’t agree with you more, Gemma. 😊
It’s all about the proportions (and arch support, of course)! I love my flat form espadrilles, cork sandals and one pair of fisherman’s sandals. But I only buy them with soles about an inch thick and flexible, in colors that blend with my skin. My feet are big enough to make the clumpy versions you showed look like cement blocks - especially those Dr. Martens!🤣 Great tips as always!
Love this video, simple truth !
You did not hold back! 😂😂😂😂
Clogs Are In Style. They Are More Comfortable Then High Heels. They Are Great With Jeans.
I totally agree with you . Everything you said is right!!
I do have some clogs… I occasionally wear them with jeans. I have always had clogs, I like the height they give me, they are comfortable, I like the way they look and sound. I don’t care if they’re in fashion or not. I’ve bought now and again since the ‘60’s. I love beautiful shoes and boots also. I wear pretty sandals in the summer. They all get worn.
I agree with you on the ugly clunky sandals. I always watch your videos, they’re very well done and helpful. ❤️🌷
I totally agree 💯
You are so right. I have been thinking all year that shoes have got so ugly I am just not going there. I clomped around in clogs and Frankenstein shoes back in the 70s. Never again.
Great 👍 Video . Classy natural lady & always keeps it classy & straight forward 👌 👏
You're so right !
Your opinions are my opinions! Completely agree. I did own a pair of clogs in the 70"s because they were in style for a while then, but they were hard to walk in.
I totally agree with you on all chosen shoes and to be honest this video made me laugh out loud bc it's really funny how people walk with these. 😂😂
Totally agree! Many, many ppl are wearing these thinking they look good...
So elegantly put
Great video Gemma! I despise Birenstocks as well, but here in northern California both men and women wear them as a statement, like driving a Prius. Our daughter bought a pair recently, in metallic silver! Gaaah!!
I agree with you on these!
Thank you 🙏
Great video and all true.
Love love the Prada fisherman shoe
I'm not a fan of most of these shoes personally but I do love a platform. I love comfortable height as someone only 5 feet. I accept they might look like cinder blocks but I have come to terms with that.
Yeah! Someone is finally speaking the truth about ugly shoes!!! It's like the Emperor's new clothes -- finally someone has the courage to say he is naked!! Graceful and elegant still wins in my book. Thank you for standing up for elegance!!!!
agree.. just thinking of beach or bath sandals.. there are many thick look one.. am tempted to buy and now am thinking😅
I totally agree with you these thick heavy shoes ruin any outfit. however I do love the espadrilles in the summer
OMG. It went from fisherman's shoes to truck tire shoes. And WTH was that on the left at 5:46 ??? I can't stop laughing!!! Thank you, Gemma 🙃
I have hated ALL these shoes all my life! Lolol
Karenbritchik makes most of the shoes that you mentioned look elegant and glamorous
She’s a very cool lady
I agree totally with what you have shown. I think that the chunky boots and the chunky shoes are so unfeminine. I really don't see why women wear them. Thanks for the video 🥰
Great video Gemma! Firstly your opinions matter. We tune in and have the luxury of taking what we want from your content🥰 Secondly, I struggle every summer with shoes. With all my dance training,I need something around my ankle or I fall off the darn shoe. I like a sling back or a nice driving loafer with a thin sole.
Totally agree! I just wear hiking sandals for a HIKE! And my clocks (years ago I thought they are cool) - are just worn in m garden 🤭😘🌷
Oh! SO AGREED!
Totally agree. Some shoes might be fashionable but then I don’t really understand WHY because they are so ugly !! Don’t they see that and just believe they should buy because some company says they are trendy?
I liked to wear chunky boots (like the brand "Dockers") in my 20s, especially in fall/winter ... now I'm 50 and totally agree with your perception and opinion 👍- and I wonder how I was able to walk around all day in those heavy pieces?! 😉😄
Sunny regards 🌞
Haha, loved the golf club image.
After the pandemic 😷 MANY women & men, want to continue to have comfort in all wardrobe staples. I like the vast opportunities in the new fashions. We all know that “Elegance” will never go out of style & I agree about the super clunky look - though I actually do like most of the shoes you mentioned. 😂
Lest not forget that some people were/ are stuck at home & understand that they don’t want to wear slippers all day, anymore!
I have a pair of clogs that I bought about 10 years ago that are very comfortable, but they do have a small "lip" on the heel that helps keep them in place. So, maybe they are more like mules, but they definitely look like clogs.
These aren’t just ugly, they’re HIDEOUS!! I wish people would consider what looks good rather than follow the latest trends. That has little to do with having actual style. Love your videos!!
I actually like all of these types of shoes except the clogs. I hv petite ankles but because im petite with tiny feet i think i pull them off as opposed to a taller lady with long thin legs.
Me, too, some chunkiness improves the proportions of my little, undersized feet.🙂
Agree 100 💯 per cent! I bought chunky loafer earlier this season and brought them right back the day after when my husband told me I looked like I had a surgery boots on!
Lol! 😆
I totally agree.
When the vid segment came on with the feet in clogs walking along the path, I lost it completely 😂😂 great vid overall 😃
Glad you enjoyed it
I love the chunky look. Unfortunately I’m too old to pull it off. But I think the older we get the harder it is to walk in the elegant shoes. Everything gives me blisters. I’m always searching for comfortable shoes. So I welcome ugly shoes if they are comfortable and trendy.
Giiiiiirl no!! You’re never too old!! Wear those chunky shoes, you’ll look bad ass!! My 63 year old mother in law has platforms and she *rocks* the hell out of them!
And also in my personal opinion the “elegant shoes” only reveal your age.. the first ones she showed are basically slides with heels, barely different from crocs with heels if you ask me 👀💀
IMHO the biggest issue with these shoes is the excessive platform sole.most of them would be fine if the soles were smaller. Personally I love the look of fisherman sandals, loafers, espadrilles and Birkies. I love seeing women look comfortable in shoes that won’t deform their feet, but also that don’t make them clomp.
I totally agree😀
A video on which to wear
Thank you
I agree with you 100%. I am in my 60s now and have hated ugly, big soled, clumsy looking shoes ever since I was old enough to care what was on my feet! My heart sinks at the start of every season when the fashion industry decides that these sorts of shoes or boots are what we should be wearing because it always comes down to the high street. Over the year’s I’ve become convinced that the fashion industry likes to make women look as ugly as possible! I have never followed trends and refuse to wear any of them and will hunt high and low to find daintier, more elegant shoes or else wear shoes I have bought some years ago that come from a ‘prettier flattering shoe time’. 🥰💜
That’s a really interesting point about designers trying to make women look ugly. Is this a new subversive way to continue to control us…? I just watched A Very British Scandal with Claire Foy and reeled in horror at the power of men. Seems like they’re just getting more sneaky now.
You are absolutely right! Yes, the beauty might be in the eye of the spectator, but it's just personal preference. Real beauty is always balance and harmony which these shoes certainly don't have.
Gemma! You're opinions do matter, and therefore, I subscribe to your channel, hence, your opinion! You have exquisite taste and style!
Love your channel! I have some of these shoes I need a big clear out 😅 I love espadrilles and Cork wedges but the rest look awful 😖 I don't follow too many trends I prefer to look feminine 💝
I wish you had added the crocs too. I can't seem to understand the sudden fixation about them.
Thank you my dear
