I have heeled boots to waer with jeans and trousers, flip flops and wedges for summer, timberlands for combats and trainers for working out/running BUT I have nothing soft and comfortable, pref flat to wear with trousers/jeans. See lots of stylish women in loafer type things but not sure, or nice trainer ish things but not too sporty looking.

Help!!!!!!

I love ballet type pumps at the moment. Really comfy. Feel like slippers. Look ok with jeans and skirts. I've got them in several colours.

have you had a look in clarks? i think they're usually v good on casual shoes.

I have just bought \link{http://www.fatface.net/fatfacesite/p/FatFace/Womens/w_footwear/12500.htm\these} for wearing with jeans (look better in rl than on website), they also come in tan leather. They are selling out fast though!

Hmmm, ballet pumps sounf good. I don't like too flat though cause I'm only 5'4''.

Clogs nice but too casual IYKWIM.

But Clarks? Dont you have to be either 3 or 50 to wear their shoes? Wink

Wink northerner

have a look under casual shoes on clarks website, there's a nice flattish brown suede pair called gina for £20 (that's why it's known round here as the poor woman's Camper..)

Yes quite like those M&S ones.

Also like the trainers CD, like the tan/yellow ones. Bit pricy though.

MamaG · 26/04/2006 11:42

I love the look of ballet shoes, but as a heel devotee I feel like I'm going to fall backwards if I wear really flat shoes! I really wanted some red glitter ballet pumps but can't walk in them :( .

Like the little pumps with kitten heels though.
