What shoes should I be wearing with a jersey dress?

[cece]

I have a few jersey dresses that I would like to wear to work (teacher in primary school). When it is warm enough I wear them with sandals but at the moment it isn't warm enough for sandals.However, I am not sure which type of shoe would go.

Mostly they are either empire line type dresses, either knee length or a bit longer than knee length.

I have ballet pumps but they don't just feel right iyswim. I cannot do heels though (well not high ones). Most of all they have to be comfotable as well as stylish...

Any suggestions?

I wear mine with a knee length, close fitting boot or a mary-jane shoe and opaques.

Yes I wear them with boots sometimes in the winter but I need something for inbetween winter and summer. Ummm mary janes - are they the ones with a strap?

Forgot to mention some of them are wrap style dresses.

[thenightsky]

yes... the ones with straps - due to my skinny feet allowing shoes to get left behind when I walk if they don't have over the foot straps.

I wear mine with Mary Janes too.

Perhaps I should go and try some on. I have very wide feet though and always worry that they would look awful on.

[thenightsky]

You wide footed types have far more choice of shoe than us skinny footed beasts.

Where do you get the Mary Janes? I need to buy some today for a conference next week. They MUST be super comfortable, black and not frumpy! (Am in panic)

[browneyedpixie]

brogues or ankle boots

[Steffanoid]

if you have wider feet try Evans, I got a pair of Mary Jane's from there a couple of years ago and they were honestly the comfiest heels I have ever worn, simple as well, black with a tan innar and a wooden look heel, all leather as well

[NorthernLurker]

I tried Evans yesterday and they had a pair where the 6 was way too big, the 5 was too big (am normally a 5.5) and the 4 was too small. Tsk!

I got some really comfortable black suede ish Mary Janes from clarkes. They were part of the Mary Portas range so I ordered them online but they are so soft and have an inner padded sole.

It was last winter though.

[Pinkflipflop]

I bought these and I can tell you that they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever had on!

I'm also a teacher and will be wearing them when I return from ML

[Pinkflipflop]

Just saw you can't do heels but do wedges count as heels?

link to the dress first

[cece]

I can't link to the exact dresses as they are all from at least 1 year ago.

here Wrap dress is a bit like this. But mine has a silver buckle at the waist and the skirt flaps open in the wind.

here similar but not exactly the same.

or this one

Hope that gives you an idea.

normally I would say heels but- teacher in a primary school oyu might feel a bit overly formal
I would say a wedge as well. If oyu got a nude it wouldnt feel too wintery either.
they wont set the fashion world alight

Ok well super comfy black and not frumpy was what I was looking for. I've actually got these in red and sort of teal blue to decide between......

[Nehru]

northern
My mum wears shoes like that

she is 75

[NorthernLurker]

Yup I know . But they HAVE to be comfy and this is the best I could do.

[cece]

I would like to think I could wear those wedge ones all day but tbh I'd be a cripple!

I like those northern but not sure they would go with my dresses....

[NorthernLurker]

My 15 yr old hates them so much she won't give any opinion.

I'm thinking of this dress with black opaques. The blue sort of ties in with the grey or should I go red for some contrast?

[NorthernLurker]

these are the blue ones

[BikeRunSki]

White Stuff for wedges! I don't do heels either, but White Stuff wedges are some of the mist comfy shoes I have ever had. I have three pairs! Great for my wide feet, and good with jersey dresses!

[ArbitraryUsername]

I want a pair of these, but I have to try shoes on before buying.

What about these, OP? They come in patent too if you prefer.

[ArbitraryUsername]

I think I'd like a pair of these too.
