What do you all think of these shoes?

[IDugUpADiamond]

and what would you wear them with?

Love them. Would wear them with yellow tights, a blue pencil skirt and black high necked blouse. But I understand that wouldn't be everyone's choice

They'll go with loads of stuff.

Where are they from?

I'd wear them with support tights, a housecoat and rollers. Sorry.

Do you have very skinny calves? Chunky shoes need skinny calves or they make the whole lower leg look clumpy. I'd wear a tightish wrap dress and some very oversized gold jewellery to keep with the chunky look. No black and white, or you risk looking a little like a waitress :)

They are Duo, and I have a pair in light brown. Very comfortable and good with skirts for work. Mine look good with coloured tights too. they actually look far nicer than this picture suggests.

Yes they are from Duo. I don't own any shoes, only boots. Sometimes I need a different look (away from boots) but feel that shoes in general make me feel silly, like I'm dressing up. I love the chunkiness of these shoes. I don't have big calves at all.

They are lovely and agree they would look nice with a pencil skirt and opaque tights.

I think they'd look much much nicer in the brown, like higgle has

Yes I might go for the brown too as they are heavily reduced. So say for job interviews, black pencil skirt, those shoes (in black) and what else?

I've just bought a brown pair, thanks

Black pencil skirt, pussy bow blouse and black waistcoat would look good.

Will you need a suit for the interview?

Tethersend what size did you get? Because I'm always a size 5 (38) but with DUO I'm a 4 (37). Mind you, I do always order wide fit.

So what colour blouse?

The interview is not real (yet), I'm just getting the outfit ready for when it happens [optimistic] .

Hmm, I wanted to get a 7 wide, but they were out of stock, so I've ordered an 8 as I'm usually an 8. Crossing fingers!

Fingers crossed for you too!! Let us know when they arrive and I'd love to know what you're planning to wear them with.

They are lovely and a total steal. I am having to sit on my hands as there are lots of very nice, very reduced shoes and boots on that site!

And they are so comfortable; only problem is that they charge £5 delivery per pair and if they don't fit you have to pay for returns, and their sizes are all over the place!!

Sorry to insist but I really do need to know. If I wear those shoes and a black pencil skirt, what top?

It really depends on the kind of job you're going for- I would always err on the side of being too smart, so would wear a suit jacket with it, either to match the pencil skirt or over a dress. Or with the waistcoat and pussybow blouse I mentioned earlier.

A dress like this would work well.

Thank you tethersend, but what colour blouse?

I have skinny legs. Love heeled loafers.

I'd go for something patterned, but most colours would be ok. What's your colouring?

Oh dear. I don't like them at all. They look like the shoes my 55 year old A level physics teacher used to wear in 1988.

I think I might be a soft summer but this is self-diagnosed. I have blonde highlights on brown hair, brown eyes and medium pale skin.

I like them.

Oh Lordy. Mine just arrived and they are the perfect size and incredibly comfy.

Thanks IDug

You've just reminded me that I have some similar which I'll dig out for work this week. I'm aiming for a kind of hot Miss Jean Brodie look
