Still stylish?

old chic

I am attracted to these Mont Blanc sandals (1) from Free People, but I see from the reviews that they've been available for several years, and I wonder if they are "over" by now. I would like to get them in black to replace some well-worn gladiators that I am finally tired of. Would these look sufficiently stylish on an old lady who likes to dress as young and unusual as she can get away with? What say ye, fabbers?

Alternatively (2), what do you think of the "boot sandals" from Zara? They are half the price, but I suspect they'll be a little heavy looking for our hot summers. That is, if they ever actually become available on the Zara site.

How about these white slides (3), also from Zara? Do you think they'd be comfortable?

Agree with torontogirl -- they look cool! Too cool to be "over".

I need these . Immediately . Can't even move on to the Zara's , I'm so entranced with the first pair

Those are super cool!

Lisap, just don't buy out the black in my size! They come in several pretty colors, though.

OK, I ordered them to try. So go ahead, lisap!

I will be purchasing both of these thanks for the idea!

Still cool in my book

Both black pairs are totally cool. They transcend trend in my very humble opinion. The first pair are my preference. And I am not sure how 'old' you are, but I certainly don't view you as an 'old lady'... you are too cool, nothing 'old' about you xx

Personally I much prefer the black sandals from Zara, but the Free People sandals aren't over at all. Still fab!

No danger of that They are pretty pricey in $Cdn. The black Zara's are indeed nice, but look far less soft and comfy than the FP's.

#1 and #2 are just the kind of shoe/sandal I've been looking for, however the really low heel has been evading me. I am going to persue the Zara version! You would do well with either. Don't know about the mules. I'm not a fan, so since not on my radar I'm not a good judge

I am actually taken with the white Zara shoes. I wonder if they would stay on my feet...but both black shoes look current to me.

I like the black Zara version best but wonder if they would be too big in the ankle for me.

They look very current to me.
Zara sandals are not as unique, I think.
The mules remind me of something I wore in the 90s, and I dont know if I'd be able to drive in them...

They all have huge potential. I'd take any pair.

I would wear them all, but the Free People pair are my favourite.

I love the FP ones! I think they transcend trend. Wondering if I can justify another pair of sandals now...

I really like the 2nd pair of sandals. I've never tried on Zara shoes before though, so I don't know how they fit or how comfortable they are.

Update: visited Zara, however sandal/shoes not in store. Internet store only?

Cool, all three. Definitely not aging.

Runcarla, the black sandals have been on the Zara site for a couple of weeks, but they are not available in any size. It's one of those "sign in here to be notified by email when they become available" things. That worked last year for some sandals I wanted, but this is taking a long time.

I love the Free People ones. To me there are a tad more bohemian, which feels more summery. The Zara ones feel more urban, which is fine, just a different look. But they also look stiffer. Those FP ones look super comfy. I WANT THEM.

WOW ! Just WOW ! These are something that could definitely be YOUR "classic".

old chic

The FP sandals arrived, and they are so soft and yummy. Haven't quite decided yet if they're too "normal" for me. I like to be edgy with shoes, and my style is not boho at all. Still, they feel sooo good on, and they really have a quality look.

Would you say they are true to size, old chic? I like them a lot. Was tempted by the nude ones in particular after you put the link up (the pinky cream, rather than the white). Feel free to post a pic!
