Brogues

[KittyOShea]

Anyone got any ideas for flat, comfortable but work appropriate brogues?

I have wide feet so a pointier toe is impossible and I take ages to wear in shoes. With a lot of time spent on my feet I just can't cope in heels and it's getting a bit late in the year for my trusty flat winter boots.

I have a pair from Clarks, Hamble Oak, which I love. So comfortable, I've walked for miles in them and they're brilliant. They're a little narrow I think, if you have wide feet like I do, bit they've stretched with wear and are like slippers now

[KittyOShea]

Thanks Acorn. That's exactly what I'm looking for! Do they have them in a range of colours?

[KanyesVest]

I have purple hamble oaks. Gorgeous shoes and fantastic colours through the year.

[KittyOShea]

Ooh I like the thoughts of purple. Will be hitting Clark's on payday!

Thanks!

I have a couple of pairs of hamble oaks. My favourite pair are pewter and they go with everything. I can't wear heels anymore. I have some pointy loafers and they're so pinchy!

[Hobbes8]

Also, they come in a wide fitting.

Another vote for Hamble Oaks. I have them in pewter and they're so comfy and versatile, love them!

[Badgoushk]

I gave Hamble Oaks too. They're very very comfy!!

[HellonHeels]

Yep, Hamble oaks are good!

[KittyOShea]

Wow unanimous approval on MN

I'm glad I asked. They must be good!

Thanks all

Try Ecco, Joseph Seibel or similar decent quality shoes.

Hamble Oaks are amazing! I've got several pairs: black patent; oxblood with tweed inserts; tan with cut out panels; cream, pink and coffee. I've just picked up a bright orange pair from their spenny range, Isabella, from Bicester Village: allegedly £295 reduced to £81. I have silver brogues from Office which are nice but not as good as Clarks, and navy ones from M&S which don't cut the mustard for indefinable reasons.

[NotTheBelleoftheBall]

Me too on the Hamble Oaks, I've got three pairs: tan, burgundy and pewter. I wear them most days.

[dinosaursandtea]

Just threw out the burgundy Hamble Oaks I'd had for 4 years because I've worn them so much they're falling apart! The tan ones from last year are good as new, though.

Seasalt's brogues are nice, as wellz

[olderthanyouthink]

I've got a well loved pair of gamble oaks in tan and a Forrest green pair which haven't been worn as I'm being silly and don't want to mess them up.

If you're size 6, then there are dark pewter Hambles on Clarks' Outlet page for £20

[BlimeyO]

I tried on a pair of Hambles last week and loved them, but was not sure about wearing them with 7/8 trousers. Could I get away without wearing socks? Or is it sartorially acceptable to wear socks? I couldn't decide

[ThreeDovesAndSomePinkChampagne]

Seasalt

[citychick]

you could try kurt geiger brogues from john Lewis. nude in colour. have worn well over the few years I've worn them.

i have Churches might have a ladies line if u are looking to invest

hth

[citychick]

sorry..i think Churches.。。。

[olderthanyouthink]

Blimey I dug my green ones out to wear for the first time and I don't know what you call the length of these trousers but I'm just wearing hidden socks.

[maybebebe]

I have Church's Ethel brogues. Super comfy!

[Acornantics]

kitty yes loads of colours, and sometimes Amazon do really good deals. I have the dark blue snakeskin effect pair, glorious they are, think they were £40 ish from Amazon. Am coveting another pair for Spring. Let us know what you go for!

[Zxyzoey31]

Do the soles of the Seasalt ones wear well. I easily destroy the heels of shoes if they are thin by my hard heel wearing. I love the Seasalt colours but I am worried I would destroy the soles in a week?
Sorry to hijack the thread
