Twangy bit?

Oh! I see the slant! Even more lovely. Really like them. Must try.

Elasticado at the side

lurking and FH clomp past Remus sassily

Still hate the heel. Do like the slant.

I don't think I have done anything sassily in my entire life.

i yearn to be many things.
Sexy is one and gamine is another

Yes to gamine. Have cut my hair but can't be gamine when over 40, with specs. :(

sassily clomping on.
Don't buy the elasticado Remus, they're plastic. You won't like them next week.

I yearn (well 'yearn' is a bit strong but y'know) for small hips and thighs so I can wear lovely pencil skirts and not look as ridiculous as K Kardashian.

Oh I wouldn't buy plastic shoes - ever.

Gamine I dream of that too can't do with boobs!

I have spent the first part of Friday night going through this thread and have thoroughly enjoyed myself. Thank you.

Loving the shoes...must admit ive just bought £20 New Look black ones ill try find a link. I love the heel, not too high but enough for an occasion (going to a christening on sun)

Ha ha ha - "sassy"! I like the M&S ones w Insolia and bet they are v comfortable. I like my Dune ankle boots and the Appoint heels felt good when I tried them on, so also worth a try. When I can, next week, I hope to go and try those Darling d'orsay heels on and have a walk around in them. Shame Banana Republic aren't doing anything you like the look of as they are v comfortable. Jones the Bootmaker? They have just discovered memory foam inners, a la BR, too.

Btw, I think the Jigsaw Jane heels are a v sleek looking chunky heeled shoe,but are a bit £££.

Have you got little feet? Mine are like canoes, but if yours are daintier... www.shopatanna.com/sam-edelman/desiree-heel-black/

And if you are looking for fierce, but blissfully comfy flats and have little feet... www.shopatanna.com/sam-edelman/adena-studded-loafer-black/

Thanks, B.

Absolutely love both of those, but 1st are too high for work and I don't really need flats. I do have little feet! I also need to buy irl, not online as really cba with sending stuff back.

My cheaply black ones from peacocks really comfy but def night out shoes not work snakey print and ankle strap £20

www.peacocks.co.uk/lds-shoe-2pt-point-anklestp-s-black.html these look amazing on and have matching clutch

I love those noddy. Perfect for a night out!

Comfy surprisingly

Loving the links on this thread!

Those Sam Edelman Adena's that Belinda linked to are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned, I love them. Great alternative to ballets, look much cooler.

Shame the Edelmans are only available in small sizes.

Are they v comfy noddy? I remember about 100 years ago I had a not dissimilar pair from Mango. Really high but oh so comfy. Perfect going out shoe. Gave them to my sister for 1 night out. Never got them back! Tut. Have been looking for my perfect going out shoe since.

yes so comfy! Tried identical in KG which killed my feet! i have flat slippers from otherstories they are great
