need smart heeled shoes size 8

Liliesandveuve · 16/05/2011 17:03

I spend most of the Summer in flipflops, but I really need something to smarten myself up.
I am having real trouble finding shoes that fit and are comfortable.
Ideally looking for sandals with a bit of a heel, or espadrille heels
not too high

have you got wide or regular width feet? i'm a size 8 in shoes and i have loads of nice comfy shoes, if you're looking for comfort, the wider the heel, the comfier the shoes. i sometimes get them from evans as they are wide fitting and very comfy! not sure if you're into wedges but they are great for adding a bit of height whilst maintaining the comfort.

they are quite good value

and they are down to £15

might not be your cup of tea but just some ideas

i think they are probably wider than average.

those court shoes just look like agony to me, i have never had shoes like that that are comfy

the strappy ones are ok, but was thinking a bit fuller round the front, maybe with open heel?

I'm useless at this!

i bought these in black
thinking they would go with everything and they are excrutiatingly painful. I wore them last week and still can't feel my toes

right, so like a slingback? like the ones you've got?

www.clarks.co.uk/find/department-is-women/producttype-is-sandals/product-is-20343462

they look like they would be very comfy, the heel is not very high and somewhat of a wedge, i'm usually on a budget so i'd consider them quite pricey but i have had clarks before and they're usually really good quality, hth x

Next is a great place for size 8's. I have massive feet (sometimes a size 9) & find that Next shoes always fit me & rarely hurt. They've got these which are really comfy & only £26.

wedge Next sandals very comfortable

Liliesandveuve · 17/05/2011 13:48

just bought 2 pair from Next, seem to be very comfortable
very impressed with that "heavenly soles" range

tried these but didn't have my size

bought these

and some black strappy sandals, can't see them on the website.
Still looking
