Court shoe shuffle

18 replies

tethersend · 19/08/2010 13:03

I'm after some leather court shoes with no more than a 2" heel in white, grey or tan.

It's the classic shape I'm after- almond or pointed toe with a heel that's not kitten but not too chunky either- no wedges!

Can anyone help me in my quest?

Budget around £50, but would pay more if they are gorgeous and I get a good price for my kidney.

Not at all what you're after but so pretty and they instantly made me think of you:
Hobbs

Quirky

Bargain but wrong colour

BelligerentGhoul · 19/08/2010 13:16

Gah I think they all go to the main page. Grrr.

Go to the outlet bit on the Hobbs site - they have lots of interesting pairs, some of which are now at bargain prices.

tethersend · 19/08/2010 13:18

Bugger- Hobbs links just go to all shoes; which ones?

Am v.touched you thought of me Smile

Castela Contrast was the one that made me think of you - have no idea why though!

tethersend · 19/08/2010 13:23

x-post!

God there are some lovely shoes there... but I must not deviate! I need practical shoes for work.

Although I have been lusting after the blue fitzjohn high brogues for aaages, but now they're reduced they don't have my size (8). Grrr.

Grin they were my second favourite pair!

For someone I've never met, you know me well... Or I'm just a hopelessly predictable cliche Wink

Freaky!

I tried some shoes on in Hobbs once and they came up so big that even the three (the smallest they had) was way too big for me. Probably not worth me ordering any for that reason but have fallen in love with about a dozen pairs in the sale bit.

if you look in the low heels bit they have some grey suede courts, which are rather nice - still expensive though.

tethersend · 19/08/2010 13:42

I saw them- very nice, but have to be leather I'm afraid.

Anyone?

Jones?
Not saying that there is much there at the mo but it's worth checking to see if anything is new in soon.

I've got a pair of 3inch "medium" heels from here aswell as Boots and can wear them all day they're that comfortable.

Office

I do think that as soon as you reduce the heel height the design team start thinking frumpsville!

tethersend · 19/08/2010 21:01

God bless you for replying, morag Grin

I like those office ones but they are a tad too high... Jones have some which are exactly the right shape but wrong colour.

Mark my words, you'll all be wearing the low heel court shoe next season Grin

That is if we can find any Confused

I won't go away.

I need help.

I've had a look but it's really hard to find nice ones with a lower heel.

Classic and a bargain

Way over budget but seem to tick your boxes

I know I know far too high but I think these are fabulous!

Good bargain if you're a 6 or a 7

BelligerentGhoul · 20/08/2010 15:04

Get yourself to Jones - they had gorgeous grey AND tan ones, with a nice little heel, in the sale today for well under 50 squid - you could have both pairs!

tethersend · 20/08/2010 19:44

Aw, thank you Bunny- I like those expensive ones but the toe is a bit too round.

BG, really? Amazing, thank you! Will go and have a browse at the weekend. Fancy a job as my personal shopper? The pay's shit but the company's not bad Wink

These were cute and comfortable but the four was too big for me and they didn't have a three.

Can't see the other ones online but they had grey and tan, not too big a heel and around 35 pounds a pair I think.

We seem to be doing a decent job of being each other's personal shopper, lately.

Now - did you ever manage to find me that straight jacket in purple? :)
