Hello. My old favourites (Joseph Swivel ones in brown) have died and need replacing.
I'm struggling to find a pair that aren't too fancy or too manly.

Thanks chough - I'm 5.5 UK size, not sure if it's best to go for size 5 or 6?

I buy shoes the old-fashioned way , and try on in the shop!
But if you're buying online, maybe customer reviews would give you an idea of how true to size certain styles are.

Lol chough - yes so do I normally, but after trying on a dozen pairs in town last week and a holiday coming up soon, online may be necessary!

Thanks Edith - those mostly look a bit too glam for me!

I bought seasalts due to recommendations on here. I had to send them back as the stitching on one shoe was basically unfinished. I think their quality control is not good.
