Ones that are comfy enough to run for a train in - or am i doomed to ballerinas until it's boots time - am not keen on brogues :-(

Loafers?

DaftSkunk · 19/08/2014 22:20

What's your budget? I tend to wear mid heels for work which I can manage in.

msfreud · 19/08/2014 22:26

I wear brogues with a-line skirts.

msfreud · 19/08/2014 22:27

Alas, totally missed your last line about not liking brogues. Loafers maybe?

EssexMummy123 · 19/08/2014 22:33

Loafers - no :-( i want pretty / stylish without the 'cute' ballerina factor but total practical enough to wear all day and walk in. Once i had a lovely pair of clarks mid-heels that fitted the bill but they didn't fit after having DD. Why do feet change shape after pregnancy? - lol have just remember how surprised i was at my belt no longer fitting post pregnancy!

Dorothy Perkins are quite good for low/mid heels.

Dorothy Perkins have got some gorgeous pastel coloured loafers.

Really comfortable and would look great with A line skirts.

I'd be looking at Dune, for mid heels, rather than Dorothy Perkins, as DP shoes seem to all be vinyl. Leather is far more comfortable to wear all day.

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 20/08/2014 06:11

The Dune Appoint heels are £65, come in a range of colours, and are leather, and leather lined. Plus, they look good. www.dunelondon.com/appoint-pointed-toe-court-shoe-0085503940021484/

I need my shoes to be very practical and can't walk in lots of shoes but have a great pair of clarks ballet / pumps which I can walk in, very comfortable and have lasted two summers. They're not cute either!

However just checked the website and they don't do them any more. They have perforated leather and are gold and brown with a strap across the toes, also come in black if you're looking elsewhere.

HaveYouTriedARewardChart · 20/08/2014 06:26

found them!

Lucy choi do fantastic low/mid heels. Look on outnet for lots of styles. They're not high st prices but are fantastically well made and comfortable.

angeltulips · 20/08/2014 06:31

Ps without sounding like your podiatrist, don't run for a train in ballerinas, they're dreadful! Wear a trainer and get changed at work.
