Shoe hunts don't get tougher than this...

I have been after a pair of tan flats for MONTHS.

Someone on here found me these which are perfect, but the 8 is too small and they don't go any bigger. I am usually a 7.5 Confused and have never been too big for an 8. Am disproportionately furious.

I like these but they are the wrong colour and not leather/suede. I have also been mocked mercilessly for liking them. I remain defiant.

So, to sum up; I need:

-Leather or suede

-Size 8 (PROPER size 8; nothing from Schuh Angry)

-Tan

-Pointed toe. No cornish pasties please.

-Would like a nice detail like woven leather or gold trim or something

Budget up to £60ish

Please help!

It's not you, it's me.

Next have some nice woven leather ones quite like your first pair. Pop in' tan ballerinas ' and a corsage tan pair also pop up. HTH.

faustina · 17/05/2011 21:18

there are some quite nice things on this page. Nothing pointy, but some of them are heading that way. Perhaps a bit more than sixty quid though:

Lots on this site, but you're right, it is tough!

I managed that link for the first time without having to check how to do it Grin

can't decide if these are perfect (regardless of all your specifics) or bloody awful.
asos?

tethersend · 17/05/2011 21:58

Right.

I think we all need to have a little chat. it's not that I'm not grateful. I am. Very. It's just...

ggirl- I don't like any on that site, sorry...
netbook- the diesel ones are ok, but no 8, ditto the bronx ones, not keen on others...
Lipstickgal- I looked at next, but they are all awful, sorry...
faustina- too rounded and £££ for me...
Saggyhairyarse- can't find anything in JL or RI...
edwardcullensotherwoman- well done for linking; nothing I like, but thanks for feeling my pain...
nevergoogle- they are the latter.

But a heartfelt thanks to you all for looking.

Have I missed anyone out? I feel like I've missed someone out. No? Good.

Wink

If anyone has even an ember of the will to live left, I'm still hopeful....?

I love you, WhatsWrongWithYou. I always have. That's why I ignored you- I'm confused and can't deal with the strength of my own feelings.

nevergoogle · 17/05/2011 22:33

It's fate Tethers. Accept that the Fashion Gods just don't want you to have such a minging pair of shoes them.
