I agree. they are bloody good. Size WAY WAY DOWN though.
Comfy and a good half way point between skinny and straight/flappy

Oh don't. I have snake print shoes on my wish list. Would love leather snake print sandals. Yours aren't the Perspex heeled ones? They were beautiful.

I might go and look at the jeans because I cant believe I could get an 8 on in any shop

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 30/03/2014 17:16

No, I want the Dune Hunnies, as the ankle strap is thicker than for the Hydros, and you can move it around.

jennifer bunbaker Probably not - I am pear shaped, size 10 hips size 8 waist. The size 10 pair I bought are going back. The legs fit okay, the waist feels like its a 12. An 8 would be too tight in the thigh, and still big at the waist I think.

Any one know what else I should exchange for instead? They were bought with a gift card. Tempted by the dinosaur t-shirts with the spines on the back for DS, but my mum wouldn't be pleased if I spent her b'day present to me on him not me...

Oh those snakes are beautiful but think they were too high for me. Tracey can do sky scrapers, but I can't. Well, I can, but not for v long. Plus, am often w DH who walks too fast, and I have to canter to keep up.

I have snake but silly high. Have flat snake gap on today so comfy

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 30/03/2014 17:21

Here is Hunnie www.asos.com/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=3764022. It says 9cm heel, but these seemed ok when I tried them.

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 30/03/2014 17:22

I love snake print esp when grey toned. Am getting Zara snake heels soon. So beautiful.

noddyholder · 30/03/2014 17:25

Ridiculous high but comfortable as old and soft

I have these jeans. They are fab. I am usually a 12, go down to a 10L.

dexter73 · 30/03/2014 20:53

Have ordered 2 pairs and the frigging camisole.

SwedishEdith · 30/03/2014 20:54

Unless they've changed the cut, I got these a few years ago and I would say get 2 sizes down. And they are too flappy on the hips for me but I'm completely boy-hipped.

AnyFucker · 30/03/2014 20:56

what's a "frigging" camisole ? Smile

MorrisZapp · 30/03/2014 20:56

Low rise, mid rise or high rise? It's fundamental.

I don't do low rise any more.

AnyFucker · 30/03/2014 20:57

mid

dexter73 · 30/03/2014 20:58

Anyfucker - same page as the jeans.
