I'm having a nightmare, posted on here a few weeks ago and I am still on the hunt! I need mid heel (a scary height for me as i'm usually flats or sky high), tan leather wedges or slides or sandals...

Not keen on a block heel, I can't do an ankle strap as it cuts off my legs or anything from clarks Shock.

I LOVE these but they are all either way too high or way too £££.. Budget up to £60 - £70

I have exhausted the high street, if anyone can find me something perfect to race after the kids in and still look stylish in shorts or dress I would SNOG you!

How about the Grady or Gleeful from Dune? There's actually quite a few non-ankle strap tan wedges on their site with various heel heights and reasonably priced.

NinaNannar yeah I like the snakeskin ones too. Going to Mallorca at Easter and NYC in june, so need low wedges that I can team with shorts, dresses, crops to wear during the day. They need to be comfortable but STYLISH as I refuse to resort to comfort wear even tho I am going to walk the entire length of 5th Ave!

I have tan suede wedges which are high, which I can wear in the evening, but I am looking for day wedges/sandals. I have flats already, just fancied something with a low heel..

found these do they look mumsy? I think they're on the edge??

as with these not sure

Grady & Gleeful still look high imo giftwrappedkittycat and don't get me wrong I love my 6" platforms, but I am thinking 'could I run through T5 after DD in those'? Also need to be low enough that they don't ache after 4 hrs....

So i suppose i'm looking for flats essentially but with some height... Hmm

You're on the right lines AWimbaWay but I just don't like those... they look comfy tho.

Yeah those are nice Staverton and AWimbaWay, they're Leather PU, which is disappointing for £75... not sure about ankle strap too ;(

I agree, I wouldn't wear those last ones! I think I've run out of shoe websites now!

I've ordered the Skechers ones to try, and also these:

m.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_56308+0795411711_-1

Which I thought might fit your low wedge/no ankle strap criteria? They're the dune jimmo sandal in case the link doesn't work (first time adding link from my phone)

Ordering doesn't mean solved unfortunately as I have a high return rate on day sandals (last pair I kept I bought five years ago and wore until they fell apart), but here's hoping...

Ha ha, I love you for trying tho!

I seem to feel there is a GAP IN THE MARKET if any shoe manufacturers are watching! Just want an on trend, mid heel, tan leather wedge or sandal....
