I ordered two pairs from Clarks ( oh yes that padded bit is ace) and cant decide.

I have skinny feet and legs so a loafer like this often suits www.clarks.co.uk/p/20356724

but love the patent of these and pointy thing ( heel a BIT low maybe) www.clarks.co.uk/p/20351613 - look even lower here. Think would look nice under some tailored wool trews like this bananarepublic.gap.co.uk/browse/product.do?cid=41699&vid=1&pid=000554873JA95-08896

any thoughts?

Shoe 2 is a classic and you can't go wrong!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 13/09/2013 16:41

Mmmm. I prefer the shape of the second ones but don't like patent and think it makes them look cheap (which they are far from!). They are very expensive for a pair of Clarks court shoes imho.

They do the second pair every year. I got them a couple of years ago and they are great, one of my comfier pairs of heels, although I could never stand up in any pair of heels all day. On the other hand a chunkier heel is sturdier and better to stand on.

I got some brilliant (and v comfy) ones but can't find them on sale anywhere to show you. They were not from Clarks - comfier than Clarks.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 13/09/2013 17:47

These look nice but are suede

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 13/09/2013 17:48

Most of the M&S ones now appear to be made of plastic though.

Number two looks like something Gloria hunniford would wear.

I like the first pair. Modern retro.

duckyfuzz · 13/09/2013 17:57

I prefer the first pair, not keen on patent or pointiness

SundaySimmons · 13/09/2013 17:58

Very ginger rogers but I like these
