Heels for beginners - help please!

I'd really like to get out of jeans / trousers rut and wear more dresses but I struggle with what to wear on my feet as I find that whatever heels I try I feel incapable of walking in them without getting sore feet.
Ballet flats just don't seem to do it as I'm a pear shape and they always seems to accentuate my fat arsed-ness / saddlebag shape for some reason.

Any advice on what to try?

M&S do a range with insolia technology - I'm not good with high heels but the two pairs I have from this range, I can walk properly in and all day and still be comfortable.

Was about to suggest insolia too. The footglove range is also very comfortable. I have bought these and haven't worn them yet but they felt very comfortable when I tried them on.

Thanks both, walking properly all day sounds a result as opposed to hobbling from bar to taxi which is what usually happens.
Noticed that M+S have 25% off all women's shoes online so will order some and give them a go Smile

Any more anyone?

I was going to suggest the M&S patent kittens in navy or purple. They are an all day shoe and at £11.25 or so you can't go wrong!
