M&S shoes, what do we think?

28 replies

suzywong · 28/09/2006 20:05

Now I am not on the same continent as my small but perfectly formed husband I have realised I can wear high heels on my various knees up in London Town.
M&S are the only people who do my size, 7.5.
Are their shoes nice or naff, what do you think?
I don't want mighty high stilletos but something to go with knee length and above skirts.
Any ideas?
TIA

I'm liking these at the moment but I wonder if they are a bit frumpy

HOW old are you?

maybe these would be more comfy

Fimbo · 28/09/2006 20:12

I like some of the Limited Collection shoes - but alas they do not go up to your size.

drosophila · 28/09/2006 20:12

this is what I bought Like you I am a half size and M&S are one of the who cater for it. They are suprisingly comfortable. They have some sort of special heel.

how about these

CountessDracula · 28/09/2006 20:14

(I am sobbing at the thought of summer being over and not being able to wear my fave wedges that give me numb toes for several days)

Fimbo · 28/09/2006 20:14

What colour do you want?

soapbox · 28/09/2006 20:14

SW - most shoe shops go up to an 6 or 9 now.M&S shoes are much too wide for me - like boats really

A nice pair of knee high boots might be nice with your skirts?

Those shoes are a bit 'corporate' for what you are looking for I think

The special heel thing is meant to make you more balanced and I think it works. I resist wearing heels but thought I would be fem for a bit.

soapbox · 28/09/2006 20:15

Oops that should say 8 or 9

suzywong · 28/09/2006 20:16

point taken about corporate, I am not going to get boots as I will never wear them back home in Oz.
The slip of a girl in Faith looked at me like I was a tranny when I asked for a size 41, same story in Clarks. I am a circus freak, clearly

I tried thes on and they look good on much better than picture and they were really comfy.

marthamoo · 28/09/2006 20:18

Sorry, suze - frumpsville. I like drosophila's better.

Can't believe 7.5 is that freakish - it's not that much bigger than average. My best friend at school was a 9!

marthamoo · 28/09/2006 20:19

I'm not sure about that second pair, drosophila - make me think of Mary Poppins.

drosophila · 28/09/2006 20:22

I know I wasn't sure about them with a skirt but they are deffo much better in the flesh.

Hmmmmm..not sure about the laces

Hello moo xxx are you coming to my London meetup or what?

OP posts:
marthamoo · 28/09/2006 20:24

I have no place on this thread anyway as I really don't do heels (though I do have a pair of kitten heeled black sparkly beaded slingbacks that I bought in M&S two years ago that - for heels - are surprisingly comfy.

marthamoo · 28/09/2006 20:26

suze, are you here? You never post at this time any more! No, I'm not coming to your meet-up, sadly. You're not still coming up to Derbyshire are you?

marthamoo · 28/09/2006 20:27

(like 1st pair - but they only seem to go up to 5.5 online, second pair OK, third pair bleeurgh)

SargentMajorBeetroot · 28/09/2006 20:28
