My goodness, I'm overwhelmed with all your responses! I'm delighted to have such encouragement (or is that enabling?) to try out bright shoes. Sorry to not reply sooner - sleep and work and all that in the way.
Thank you Glory, crutcher, chadya, Ms Mary, rachylou, cjh, Maneera, Gigi Brooklyn and Dianne G, and CocoC.
Beth Ann, I've heard these are very comfy shoes, and I sort of assumed they are designed for casual wear rather than serious running. They aren't what I'd consider cheap shoes, will consider whether they'll be good value for me.
Peri, I like that you see them as fun and trendy, they do seem fun to me. Linda , I want to have some fun in my wardrobe.
Unfrumped and Robin, this is the real question: are these my style? I think I could have fun with them, and see if I feel good in them as Deborah suggests.
Alaskagirl, I hope it was a good flashback to school camp!
Cheryle and kkards, I agree everything else would have to be kept simple with these shoes. Sandy G, I can do the basics. Sleek, maybe. Ironic might be beyond me... No jogging suits, though.
I will go try them on in the local shoe shop, and see how they make me feel. Thank you all again for your wonderful replies. I'll keep you posted.
