That's it last years have now been binned and I will not spend another 6 months of the year with flat shoes for spring/summer.

Come show me what I can wear on my feet for when the sun starts to shine...

my eye's my eyes...

OK I'm guessing I'm looking for the impossible. I'm looking for something a litle smarter than b's to wear with skirts/chino's etc

My quest continues

I opened the thread thinking there'd be lots of lovely links to non-healthy things and found myself on an old-lady-shoe thread Sad

PerArduaAdNauseum · 16/02/2011 22:02

I'm not even following a link which starts www.clarks..

Come on, my link wasn't that bad. I pine to wear anything other than birkenstocks too, but sadly my feet are too massively wide for anything pretty.....I'm young and Envy those with normally wide tootsies

ongakgak · 16/02/2011 22:06

I am 5 weeks pregnant and in a foul mood.

Look at the blardy links. Do it. I need it.

Topshop! love these and these too. On trend but very wearable. I dont do heels : (

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 16/02/2011 22:12

I am going to buy some Birkenstocks this year, but I agree with Laurie that you have to keep your feet looking pretty.

ongak - I'm sorry I don't like any of those

Anyway, I thought heels were out and flats were in this summer? I may be wrong about that though....

CarGirl · 16/02/2011 22:14

I get lots of compliments about my patent birks with matching nail varnish.

ongakgak · 16/02/2011 22:14

alibaba at least you looked at my links, fanks.

I am hormaonal wreck, I do not remember being like this from the first time. Fuck Bastard Shit Bum.

Try Fitflops! So comfy and they come in lots of materials, glitter, patent, stone/gems (!). They have a bit of a wedge too. Downside is they are quite expensive for a bit of plastic but well worth it.

indigobarbie · 16/02/2011 22:35

onga I loved your links Smile

Anste That what I was saying.....

Agree with cargirl cos, I'm the same

PerArduaAdNauseum · 16/02/2011 22:40

Flip flops give you bunions and are -naf. Factish

I looked I looked Onga! Promise I did

Fitflops - oh dont you have to have yellow long horrid toe nails and dry horrid heels to wear them? That's the look up North anyway!

Oh Lk ones look nice would have to try them on and first topshops ones are OK ish but again will have to try.

Thank god you all looked at my links, I feel whole again.

Lizzywishes · 17/02/2011 17:35

I like some of the Fly London shoes (which are cheaper on the Cloggs website than in Office etc). Just got a pair of Yedi wedges for spring shoes.

schoolsecretary · 17/02/2011 22:15

onga I loved the last two of your links, especially loved the nice straps.. am off to clarks tomorrow.

ongakgak · 19/02/2011 19:04

Yeah schoolsecretary ! happy shopping!

[[http://www.dune.co.uk/catalogue/style.asp?r=43&g=52&s=752&y=S10LLE83SCW362L&pc=83 these?]

I bought a pair last year when 6 months pregnant and wore them all throught the last weeks, through early motherhood stumbling baby to sleep through the streets phase. They were and still are very comfortable. Supersoft, low wedge and non-rubby

Shop assistant was also wearing when I bought, which I always consider to be the mark of a comfy pair as they are on their feet all day.

And they are re-stocked this year...

Fumblina · 21/02/2011 10:42

these?
