Please? I need a pair of mid heels to go with skinny jeans skirts with leggings that kinda thing. I'm shoe phobic to a degree as have a tiny size (one) but am happy to buy a three with a strap and add insole thingies.

Please don't direct me to the children's dept or to t'internet petite sites because I've trawled them and can't find anything an adult or under 60 yr old would wear.

Thanks{smile]

have you tried pretty small shoes?

also, here is the link to the blog of a petite lady, who's writing about fashion finds for..well..petites :)

Thank you Vesta, the blog looks good.

I often look at the site but I'm on the hunt for a more funky look at the moment and most of their shoes are very lady-like, but again thanks for lookingSmile

Anymore offers?

What about these?

Or these?

Not sure about wearing shoes two sizes too big...

tethersend · 23/02/2011 15:05

I love these from that site, vesta....

tethersend · 23/02/2011 15:05

What sort of shoes are you after, balloon?

balloonballs · 23/02/2011 15:08

That's more the way I want to go but they look a bit plastic despite costing a lot! Thanks though Tethers.

I know, I know about the size thing but so far it's the only way I get nice shoes without paying extra for a size that fits or wearing plastic children's shoes.

This is why I need the help!!!

I'm thinking round toe with maybe a platform element in a not very high heel.

I can picture them in my mind but probably not explaining them very wellGrin

I will be shamelessly bumping this for the after work crowd.

Tethers your a fecking gem!

Actually love the yellow pair also but can't justify the price at the moment for a pair that won't go with more outfits. May watch for them in a sale though.

Think I'll go for the viviene westwood pair or the vox purple ones.

Thank you! thank you! thank you! I'll let you know what I go for.

Oooh, you like the yellow MJ ones? They are gorgeous...

The VW ones were my second favourite Smile.

If you can get away with a 2, you should keep an eye on yoox as they always have 2s on there.
