I am a terrible shoe-buyer. I always choose the wrong ones...they're either to high or too cheapo looking...I need some nice brown/tan leather sandals....flat....which will flatter my uglyslightly weird looking feet.

I want wideish straps...no skinny thongy ones....ones which are NOT clarks-ish....must be elegant and pretty...to go with summer dresses.

I have looked and they all have skiny straps or those weird "cuff" things whic make hem half a boot and half a sandal....no!

Please? I can spend around £50 pounds give or take...any help please?

Oh...for extra gorgeous ones I will go to £70. Grin

They are nice AD but should have said that I want to avoid thongs....between toes...as that draws attention to my odd toes....

these by Top Shop are gorgeous and very comfy. I bought two pairs so that I could wear one as everyday and keep a pair decent for evenings out. They also had them in tan but not currently available online. Maybe try your local store?

How about these ? I have the white ones and they're lovely

I like these but can't justify another pair of sandals. Even though they're doing 20% off new orders until May 9 (they sent me an email but couldn't se a code - maybe it comes off automatically?)

WhiteBumOfTheMountain · 01/05/2011 12:31

The TOpshop ones are pretty but the straps are too thin....show too much foot iyswim.

Autumn witch sorry but they look like somethign my 6 year old would wear! No offence....if you like them that's all that matters! Grin

LastyearsModel The link is going to the home page not to the sandal...

Try link again. If that doesn't work they're in Accessories and called 'leather sandals'.

Quodlibet · 01/05/2011 12:35

These?

I've got them, very comfy and look great with dresses.

WhiteBumOfTheMountain · 01/05/2011 12:35

Ah! Thank you LastYear...those are lovely! Only bugbear is lot of toe on show....but they're the best I have seen so far!

WhiteBumOfTheMountain · 01/05/2011 12:36

They're nice Quodlibet....mabe a bit....pointy though...I have wide feet and can see the sides of my foot escaping in an unsightly manner in those!

I love the cuff ones too WhiteBum - just wasn't sure if that was what you were looking for Smile

TethersEnd · 01/05/2011 13:58

I have these and they are beautiful. Everyone on here hated them though Grin

WhiteBumOfTheMountain · 01/05/2011 14:28

Tethers I like them....but "Chat Show"??? What kind of a name is that for a shoe? Grin

I suggest "Soap Opera" for some particularly tacky ones....

and "Reality Show" for some with sky high heels and glitter.

What about "Kitchen Sink Drama" for frumpy ones?

OP posts:
TethersEnd · 01/05/2011 14:32

I like to think of them as "Light entertainment" Grin

They are really comfy and well made. Bloody well should be at that price...

KurriKurri · 01/05/2011 14:41

I suggest 'Up Pompeii' for Tethers sandals. Grin

I have the top left pair, but the bottom left pair seems to be what you've described

Great price too !

Can I suggest "snuff movie" for yours, shinyshoes?

shinyshoes · 01/05/2011 15:00

WhatTheActualFuck · 01/05/2011 15:05

Arf at snuff movie. They are a horror show in sandal terms....sorry, Shiny!

I thought it meant they were shoe porn or something, I took it a compliment of the highest
