Are these shoes acceptable with a dress? or are they frumpy?

[ElizabethArdenGreenTeax]

these ones

Before you all die laughing at a hush puppies link, I find it so hard to walk in high heels, and when I go out, I end up wearing flats. I need something that gives me a lift but that I can walk in. I do have to be able to walk in them. Can't emphasise that bit enough.

ok, though, tell me the truth as hard as it may be to hear it.

The ones I liked from the guardian are twice the price of the ones I linked to !

Thanks for your links and comments everybody!

If it's any consolation - these are going to my autumn/winter work shoes - got to have a wedge, and supportive cries that I sound like my mother hush puppies

PS I like your original linked ones OP

They are ok. Not overly fancy but I wouldn't say frumpy. Depends on the dress.

Thanks, Fairy. really, really need to try on in store and really want leather. Will keep looking. Sorry for the hijack, GreenTea.

How about another Carvela one?

I like them OP. I'd get the brown ones and wear with a long denim dress in a Hot Seventies Mum stylee. The dead flat pointy toed ones look excruciatingly uncomfortable to me.

I'm not sure what your budget is but I think [www.chiemihara.com Chie Mihara] make fabulous but comfortable shoes - they would be an investment.

Oops why didn't the link work? Seriously you need to spend money on your feet.

Remus Boden still have pointed sling back flats in several colours in clearance. I have navy and vole and they are nice but come up a bit small I think. Next have sold out but I did grab a black pair from M&S last week for £7.99

Chie Mihara is amaing, in comfort and style.

Like the Esska ones Tethersend linked to too

The OP ones are just so... Bland.

Sorry, Salon, but (imvho obvs) those are absolutely hideous.

Thanks, Charlie. Nothing in M&S or Next today and Boden no good as want a real shop. Anyway, have spent all of my money on a leather jacket now, so I'll have to do without shoes! :)

LadyIsabella - agree that the shoes in the Op work better in brown (or red) than in black.
