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!!!!!!

No CD. I live in SW London & refuse to submit to the Birky tyranny. They make feet look like spades & calves look like tree trunks. Eeew, they are as bad as Uggs.

(Didn't buy the gold wedgey trainers in the end - fell out of love with them!)

There is no tyranny! You wear what you want

I just find them soooo comfy

Birkie experts - has anyone tried those raffia ones? Called Kenia -on the Birkie site - I really covet them. Not sure how durable though.

I have rameses in white. Gorgeous.

Was being light-hearted & sort of tongue in cheek CD! I don't genuinely feel tyrannised and I'm not actually going to start campaigning against them. Sorry, probably came across as arsey, when I was trying to be a bit funny.

Bugsy I was amused. Grin

I have those Diesel ones in black, got them eons ago and the suede has gone a bit crappy.

They had some great jelly style sandals in Gap yesterday, will try and do a link.

oliveoil · 26/04/2006 12:56

you are very welcome madame, I thought it was a bit poo myself, think my colour is wrong.

Not sure on your shoes, hmmmmmmmmm, with jeans?

cod · 26/04/2006 12:57

martha NO! bot h monsters

marthamoo · 26/04/2006 12:58

I'll wear them with jeans and long skirts (not at the same time..) I can't do toe posts and I'm definitely not a court/kitten heel kind of girl. I'm a clumpy sensibly shod kind of girl Grin

The colour (I think) is OK for me - but may not be exactly the same as the liquid foundation..so I'm still stuck. It smells nice though.

marthamoo · 26/04/2006 12:59

cod, I think yours are hideous too - we'll have to agree to differ on shoes I think Grin

cod · 26/04/2006 13:00
