Shoe twit in HELP ME plea

[HauntedArmchairOfDoom]

I need shoe help!

I've just bought a House of Oliver petticoat to go under my skirts and dresses.

My style is. Um. Possibly a bit eccentric. Vintage 50s with a bit of the Gothic thrown in for good measure, and the odd touch of the Pre-Raphaelites.

I need a pair of flat(tish) shoes that will work well with opaques or bare legs under my skirts and petticoats. I already have a pair of cute tan ankle boots with rivets, and suede shoe-boot things with a high block heel from Kurt Geiger.

Whatever I get needs to be comfortable and chic and sort of challenge the whole petticoat thing so I don't look like I'm in fancy dress (even though that's exactly what's going on inside my little head )

My ideas so far (from Clark's!) are these rather lovely brogues, and these ballerina wedges.

But I am SUCH a shoe twit. What do you think? Any alternatives?

Apols for no

....responses for a bit: off out!

I hate the ballerina wedges - too little house on the prairie with that petticoat. The brogues are not my thing but are ok...

Any of these take your fancy:
jewelled ballerinas
cut out boots
studded hi tops
bit more delicate
silver
t bar

[HauntedArmchairOfDoom]

Yeah, you're dead right about the ballerinas...

I love the hi-tops and the boots - I think because they're 'tough' so they aren't too 'Little House', so you're bang on with what I'm looking for, thanks! It's just have 2 pairs of boots already so I guess I'm looking for shoes that have that feel....

I like the silver ones because they're sort of heftyish so would do the job, but I think silver would be a bit restricting...you're introduced me to ALDO which I didn't know about so thanks for that!

[HauntedArmchairOfDoom]

I do want a pair of DMs but thought I'd wait for winter...I really need something not-bootish. That would do for summer (should we ever get one!)

blue
these are rather cool

[HauntedArmchairOfDoom]

Those Mary-Janes are amazing! Not sure I could quite pull it off...The website's called Demonia! Perfect!

Thanks so much, this is really helping. I feel like the perfect shoe's out there...

YY to Cons (or something similar - might get something along those lines but more sturdy) - I just need something that can be a bit less casual...

studded
rings
chains

[FauxFox]

love these

[HauntedArmchairOfDoom]

Issima you GENIUS - Fly shoes! DSis has been telling me to get these for YONKS and I had completely forgotten. She says you can walk hours in them. And they're just the right level of chunky, sort of thing.

Faux I adore all that Goth stuff. If I ever have the courage to totally embrace my Gothic self I'll know where to go now Also DH would love it

[FauxFox]

Fly shoes are mum shoes...get the cool ones - I dare you

[HauntedArmchairOfDoom]

I'm not at all cool, sadly. Though obviously would be if I had some of those. Have you seen some of the Goth boots on that site?!

[FauxFox]

I know - they are awesome! I want these

[HauntedArmchairOfDoom]

HAAAAAAAA! Do it!! do you live by Camden Lock

[FauxFox]

No I live in a Posh seaside town...my fashion sense is wasted I tell you! My winter boots last year were grey suede over the thigh boots with heels - very piratey! Love it

[FauxFox]

Over the knee or thigh not over the thigh - they weren't chaps!
