These, these or these?

Or feel free to share anything along the same lines, ideally leather, no black.

Cheers :)

Dried gonad is definitely NOT the look I'm going for Grin

Thanks for your replies!

I like the first ones best, don't mind the second though they are a bit odd, really dislike the third. Next shoes always look really cheap.

Ok, so 1 are favourite - my only worry is that they might not work with jeans, which would be a problem as I'm on maternity leave and basically live in them...

How about these other options to be practical but avoid the dried scrotum look:

Four and five?

  1. By far the best. And I usually hate wedges as I think they look too chunky, but they are lovely, they look light, simple without being plain.


Possibly rethinks own planned boot purchase tomorrow...

Have been lusting over Tom's Desert Wedges myself so I vote for the first ones!

Thanks all. So those saying 1, would you wear them with jeans? Or just tights and dresses/skirts?

If you've got long legs you could tuck skinny jeans in, if you're a short arse like me they will make your legs look shorter. They'd look good with the new kick flares though.

I like the first ones only tbh.

Either of the first two. The Debenhams one looks a bit plasticky and cheap. Love the simple style of the first (even though I could never wear that heel) and the leather of the second one looks like I could sniff it for a long time.

Gosh - it seems I like sniffing dried gonads.

4 is safe and wearable, but wouldn't turn heads. Another one with nice lookng leather
5 would be marked by the slightest drop of rain, if it's actually leather, which is hard to tell by looking
6 is too short to flare like that and would look like wellies

4 and 1 are only ones I like at all and 1 is too high for my personal taste.

1 because they are a lovely shape.
