Driven crazy by women’s shoes in the high street

[Menora]

I want a pair of black shoes for work. Smart, comfortable, modern looking, will go with trousers or a dress.

However, it seems that my options via the high street are:
-5inch rubber soled loafers that weigh 2.5kg each
-Square toed heels with a triangular heel in lime green, neon pink or some kind of sparkly glitter
-Pointy toed slingbacks
-trainers
-ankle boots that resemble wellies

if you want to try anything on there is barely ever any sizes on the shelves and no shop assistants to help you either

I have had feet for over 40 years, and a job wearing black shoes for over 25 years and never had such a problem. What in the Kanye West is going on? I know my DP thinks I am making it up when I tell him I’ve still not found any shoes.

I’ve looked in Clarkes and I cannot afford their prices in all honesty. They have a decent loafer but it’s £80 😑

Any recommendations?

Ok so I saw someone wearing nice shoes and she told me they were from Clark’s outlet.

So I go on their website and find them. One version of the pair is £30 the other is over £50

The £30 ones are sold out so I add the £50 ones into my basket - held for 30 mins

They ask me to make an account so I do.

This then throws my shoes out of the basket, for 30 mins. LAST PAIR. So I can’t re-add them back in.

Go back 30 mins later add them in, asked me to log in to check out

SAME THING HAPPENS

I am not meant to have these shoes am I

I will wait another 30 mins and pray 😒

Fuck online shopping now too!!
