Are these ugly-cool or just ugly ugly?

I'd like them if they were in a fun color, NOT white. (Sorry, I have a super poisoned eye for white sneakers. To the extent that I won't even wear them to work out.)

Think how cool they would be in mint!

I'm not super keen on them. Are you looking for white fashion sneakers, Anna?

How about something like these?

I like them, but I think they'd be annoying. Those velcro straps...

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to go with ugly-ugly. Not a fan of white sneakers in general, and I can't find anything else aesthetically pleasing about this particular pair either.

Thanks Inge, they don't have to be white. But I'm looking for something to walk all over San Francisco. I used to have some Tsubos that were super comfy and took me all over Europe.

I've heard loads of good stuff about Tsubo, so I hear you.

Camper and Fly London often have comfortable sneakers too, but they're perhaps not the look you are after.

They look functional but I like the ones Inge posted in her link better.

Not a fan of those Tsubos. I really like the first pair Inge linked though.

I actually like them (for you). I think Tsubos are comfy and cool and with your wardrobe these could really be spot on.

I like them, they remind me of something that Yohji Yamamoto would do for Y-3

Love the first one's Inge suggested for you better, but if you want a real walking sneaker, that's a different story.

I'm afraid I'm kind of "meh" on them....maybe in a different colour?

Yeah but that's orange and brown. Not a fan of that combo, too Thanksgivingish.

I am not fond of this particular shoe but I own two pairs of Tsubo's. One is a black and gray maryjane tennie that actually is super comfortable and not too obnoxious looking and the other pair are black suede pumps. Slightly funky and I could see Shannon sort of liking them. I can attest to their comfort.

I believe you need to consider who's wearing the shoe and what they usually wear --- so I think the Tsubos are great for you! You have enough edge to your style to not just pull off white sandal sneakers, but make them look like a bold and beautiful statement --- and they'd go so well with your latest crop of mint too!

Anna, I like them but not as much as I love the Ash versions I posted earlier today... did you see those?

I actually kind of like those. I think they fit with the sporty trend going on. I would try neon socks with those (as well as bare). High tops would be the other obvious choice since SF is usually cool anyway. By the way, I saw these in the store a couple weeks ago (look better in real life). They would so be mine if they were cheaper. I usually don't like Sandro that much, but this season I could have bought out the store. They really had cute sporty and neon stuff.

I like them in brown/black (can't see the exact color). They certainly look comfy, and if that's what you are after... I don't think they are THAT ugly
