I've bought 2 pairs but am just not sure- first pair is lowing diamonte all over heel and plain black strap in front- I'm not sure they really suit me - I'm only 5ft 3 and I feel a bit drippy. DH prefers me in stilettos but thy just aren't practical for my hols.

They aren't for me. i don't mind a chunky heel but look better in something with a bit of curve.

I'm 5ft 3 as well Chippychop.

I'll try and link off PC later but check out Dune website- they do higher blocks which are ok (I think )

Hmm, not keen, I do like the flat leopard print ones but not at that price.

NO

They look like my nans 'good' shoes that she wears to bingo

Great!! Been waiting years for these to come back! Maybe a bit higher so I don't look as middle-aged as I am

I consider them a style strongly owed by the late Queen Mother and so would avoid.

Go for flats.

KimSlazinger · 04/03/2015 16:50

Oh I wear block heels all the time!
Another sign that I am just not cool any more..

Nancy66 · 04/03/2015 17:23

No. they remind me of the Queen Mother. she used to wear them.

squoosh · 04/03/2015 17:37

I quite like a block heel and all the 90's shape shoes that are back in fashion now. I look at them and think 'they look comfy'.

WaitingForMe · 04/03/2015 18:22

No. I hate them passionately.

Petal02 · 04/03/2015 18:30

I'm relieved block heels are back in fashion, I don't walk well in spindly heels.

TheHappinessTrap · 04/03/2015 18:30

I'm sensible and comfy and wouldn't wear them.

I like block heels a lot. OP shoes are fine, I'd probably like them a bit higher. I feel oh so stable in them.

But don't pay attention to me. I also like that look, - slightly nana look - like the little Italian woman on La Passaggiata - tailored trews, little block heel, impeccably groomed, linking her equally impeccably groomed husband. (As I glance at not so groomed H. Ah well, I can dream).
