I love shoes and I love heels that make a statement. But it is a rare day I manage to keep my heels on all day.

I do flats every now and again but I don;t feel right in them and often feel that being 5 foot two I need the height when dealing with teenagers who tower over me.

I do wear wedges sometimes as they tend to be more comfortable but even they rarely make it past 2pm.

So can anyone recomend some comfy heels to me.

Have you tried M+S footglove heels? I did feel a bit of an old fogey but I tried some on yesterday and I thought they looked pretty, and felt comfortable

I have looked at footglove but did find it depressing, I do have a pair of marks wedges that have done me through the summer.

I also went to look at nexts version of footglove but gain very dull.

Oops Looking at the footglove range obviously inspired a 'senior moment'

My style is either wacky such as irregular choice or traditional with a modern twist so I have a lower pair of these betty jackson shoes

I buy a lot from office and monsoon as well, I just love shoes that are a bit different and girly.

wow, twinset i'm in awe!
i search the shops for kitten heels as i just can't do highs for teaching. i also hate footgloves - sort of thing my mum used to wear.
debenhams & new lookdo quite a few, and i like nine west as well.

I also have some crocs for when my feet are in need of special care and I have trousers on - I have trained my lower school classes to chant "don't mock the crocs" if anyone makes a negative comment.
