FRUSTRATED - All I want is......

some bog-standard, mid brown court shoes, medium heel, I don't even care if they are sling backs

I don't want beige, taupe, camel or brown so dark its almost black, nor do I want snakeskin effect, leopard skin effect, 8 different shades of brown on the same shoe (what is WRONG with these people?), brown sandals, brown boots or brown pumps

I just want some bog standard, mid height, mid brown court shoes - HOW HARD CAN THIS BE???

Any ideas anyone, cos I think I have been to every bloody shoe shop in the north now!

Lisa78, can you give me a clue as to where you live?... may make it easier in giving advise ... I am also true northerner!!

Have you tried the K village at Kendal - excellent bargains to be had and also not just this season's shoes.

CountessDracula · 23/04/2004 23:32

Aren't Russell and Bromley usually good for these sort of things? Or Bally?

SEXGODDESS · 23/04/2004 23:48

try these shoes

SEXGODDESS · 23/04/2004 23:48

Or even better try these

SEXGODDESS · 23/04/2004 23:50

I searched for brown in ladies and there were 5 pages!!!

Lisa78 · 26/04/2004 15:48

NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!

Thanks SexGoddess but they are all camel, patterned, very pointy toed or too bloody expensive! I am NOT paying £75 for a pair of shoes (well I will if needs be but DH was around just then!)
Yes essbee, tried M and S, I was convinced they wouldn't let me down but they did, and BhS. I'd have thought plain brown courtshoes would be everywhere - am I ahead of my time or 10 years behind it?!!

I'm in West Yorkshire littlemissbossy - how true a northerner are you?!!!

And glad to entertain you WSM, just disappointed that you have no concept of the importance and seriousness of this thread - this is a major issue, dammit!!!!
