Following on from my boots thread, how about these shoes? In grey? I have heaps of nice heels for work but I want some classy, stylish "grown up" shoes for work. The only flat shoes I own are cheap ballet flats which actually are cheap, nasty and uncomfortable on my massive wide feet. But are these ugly and stuffy or good? I can't decide. I LOVE Bertie. Can only afford sale though. Have always wanted some bertie shoes so I want go like them...

Really that bad?! OK. I though with trousers they might be OK.

There seem to be lots of latter styles around... but these are really not stylish then?

Ohhhhhh!

No. Sorry.

Asos have something similar but more fashionable and flatter. I think the heel kills them. I can't do a link but they are on there for £28.

Noooo. Granny shoes, all of them. Loafers are grim.

I don't actually like loafers, I just really wanted some Bertie shoes and they were cheap. Oh well, sending them back.... I could do with some study smart flats but prob not loafers.
