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!

Madammecholet - in answer to your qu re Carvela ones from near top of the thread - I can run in these after my 4 year old, not wobbly or too high

friendlymum67 · 18/03/2013 06:46

OP I know what you mean re peep toe - that would be my ideal style too. Bowing out with suggestions but avidly watching to see what others suggest - in the hope someone else finds the perfect shoe for me too Smile

Thanks looster, they're a contender.

Friendlymum67 I feel like this could be an eternal quest.

I've ordered the NEXT ones, hoping they are better made than they look tbh, else they'll be going back. BUT at least I get to either confirm I hate ankle straps of change mind and order Hobbs ones for a look see...

THANKS ladies Wine

I have lovely Clarks originals ones

Pinkflipflop · 18/03/2013 10:36

Why, why, why do I come on style and beauty??!

I love those tan carvela wedges and the fact that they are comfy makes them ideal!

Thanks for the recommendation!

For anyone who is now coveting the KG Carvela Kaitlin wedges there is 25% off on the KG website using the code VOGUE25 which makes them £56.25

Pinkflipflop · 18/03/2013 12:39

Ooohhh, just ordered the tan wedges, thanks so much for the discount code!

Next ones arrived, no good, ankle strap just looks so un flattering on me for some reason.. 5'9 but size 8 feet so it makes them look like hobbit feet somehow.....

gonna look at mint velvet and hobbs ones again...

KG ones too similar to tan wedges I already have..

have you been to [[www.shoeaholics.com shoeaholics]] yet? They should have something

AWimbaWay · 18/03/2013 15:59

I also want the carvela ones, just worried about the height, I don't do heels, am I going to be constantly going over on my ankle? But then I'm imagining them adding a couple of inches to my legs, which at 5ft 1 I could really use, especially when wearing summer dresses [optimistic].

AWimbaWay · 18/03/2013 16:12

Just ordered them, eek, I'll report back. At least your thread is helping some of us buy things we shouldn't madammecholet Grin

If you love the jimmy choo ones and they are ideal could you stretch to them? Birthday, anniversary money etc?

Impose shopping ban then?

mumat39 · 18/03/2013 18:08

Search on amazon for wedge sandal. This is the sort of things they have

here

BikeRunSki · 18/03/2013 18:18

I have pretty much the same requirements in sandals, and also have a 4 yo and size 42 feet. I got the White Stuff ones a couple of years ago (they had cork soles then) and they are perfect. I also "collect" the White Stuff Angelina wedge court shoes they do every season in different colours.

madammecholet · 18/03/2013 18:34

pinkflipflop not sure I can £275 on cork, plus only go up to size 40....

Mumat39 can't see anything like the Jimmy Choos on amazon.. you seen anything?

BikeRunSki they look comfy bit they're not sandals... I need open toe really..

I am seriously not a negative person, quite the opposite, I am just finding this search impossible!

Thanks all for looking tho - v much appreciate it..

BikeRunSki · 18/03/2013 18:44

Are you looking at the right ones madammecholet? the Alice wedges Alfafamum linked to have open toes (but also ankle straps ...)

mumat39 · 18/03/2013 18:56

Sorry madamme, I don't thinki can. I missed the jimmy choo info.
