Can't decide what to buy flats or heels ?

[adi82]

Heels make me look taller and slim but I love flats Which one is better

i dont like either I am fraid.

the first pair are a bit tarty and the second just gopping

Sorry, agree with Maureen about those two.
How about something like this as a cross between the two?

My friend bought something like the first and she says its comfy but I guess you have point , too tarty they are..

i love them both, but would go for the 2nd pair and have my eyes on them

The second pair aren't flat, they have a wedge heel.

Thanks ScentedNappyHag but I'm afraid I'll look a bit odd. Have anyone ever had something of Timberland?

First with the high heel definitely too tarty. I don't mind the second - if you are going for a chunky look, which I quite like. And of course they're not flat, but wedges so would still make you look taller.

Don't like the River Island, I'm afraid - think they look a bit cheap and tacky.

Timberland has a good reputation, I've heard. But haven't tried myself. Those ones you posted are OK, though I don't personally like any sort of obvious heel (as opposed to wedge) on long boots.

Actually I disagree with the other posters. I love the first and don't like the second. I own both types heels and flats. It is all about how you dress/what you wear with the boots, rather than automatically being 'tarty'.

I haven't tried myself too polymnia and I'm looking for opinions on that.
Pls girls recommend a brand that you've tried and are satisfied with. Can't miss sales!!!

Well, if you're thinking of Timberland type prices, I'd definitely recommend Russell and Bromley - have had several pairs off boots from them, and they are not only stylish, but have really worn well.

Also a fan of L K Bennett, though have not bought boots, only lots of shoes from them.

10x polyhmnia I 'll take a look straight away

I've had a couple of lovely pairs of boots from Dune.

Have also had a very good pair from Duo who, unlike Russell and Bromley, still have a sale online:

I prefer my boots with a high, but chunky (like squarish, say 8/10cm squared) not fucking great slap of plastic and rubber) heel.

They give me the tall, but are a damn sigh easier to walk in than skinny heels.

I also like a well formed wedge. But again it must not be big fat slap sort of wedge, more like slenderish wedge with a "curve" to give it a waist.

I 've just found out this AmberNectarine. I'm not sure if I can walk on these heels but I might try.

I adore flats so much, the way they look, how comfy they seem, etc (esp with slim leg jeans). But I had to give it up. I have basically worn a small heel since my teens (mostly wedges, sandals, stuff like that) and never experienced foot pain like I did when trying to migrate to flats!
You'd think they would be lots comfier, but it didn't work out that way for me. I guess it has something to do with your foot shape or arch, I dunno, but it was such a relief to return to a small heel.

I am good with 1-3 inches, but best midway at about 2inch for most comfort. Not sure if genetics or habit contributes to this kind of thing but I was really miffed at first when I couldn't wear flats.

Interesting example: last year went for walk in a hilly region, many miles. Had a hunch to wear my cork heeled sandals with super soft sole (2.5inch heel) and was comfy all day. If I even dare to walk around city center for 30 mins in flats I am in agony.

Not sure why, but that's that!

Oh, and my heels are always wedge or block. I can't do a stiletto. They have to have a raised heel but be super comfy.

Adi82 - I like both of those, but for completely separate occasions. Get both!

It's an endless love...between girls and shoes

Sorry about lack of links....If you go with Russell and Bromley then I recommend the Aquatalia Gold & Dry for flats, they're very elegant without looking too clumpy. The Aquatalia High & Dry are also fab (they're the suede stretchy heels), but unfortunately the Duchess of Cambridge wore them so I think they're popular now.

I can second the Acquatalia range - have hed several pairs - fantastic.

Sorry but both pairs in the OP are hideous, imho. Love those Dune shoeboots which Amber linked to. Personally I'm v fond of a wooden stacked heel on ankle boots. I think knee high heeled boots look v Trinny and Susannah.

I think I should get Dune shoeboots and the heels. Keep looking for flats, come help girls!

The second pair in the OP are not flat.

Call it wedges but gilrs already convinced me not to get this
