Those Irish dancer shoes that all the bloggers are wearing

[CambridgeBlue]

If you are a bit of a sheep like me like this style but don't want to spend a fortune on something so obviously 'this year' you might like to know that Primark are doing them for £10. I bought a pair today and am really pleased with them - very comfy and look pricier than they were. HTH someone :).

Ooh, thanks... are they pointy?

New Look ones also not bad.

They're called ghillies. Office had really lovely ones but they're sold out, I am really hopeful that they'll get them back in, would also love a pair!

Thanks for the tip OP. Primark /Penneys it is then!

I wasn't sure about the gold on the New Look ones, a bit bling for my taste. The Primarni ones are flat and pointy with lacing up the foot and a zip at the back.

The gold heel is so they look exactly like the original Aquazurra ones... I can't find a pic of the primark ones to compare...

I didn't realise that - don't like it any better on the originals! The New Look ones are clearly a closer copy then but I prefer the shape and lack of gold on the Primark ones.

I know what you mean, I'm not completely sold on the gold either... But Christ, I'd hate to have spent £440 on the originals last year

The Next versions are £45 and are leather, and lovely. Unfortunately my wide buniony feet are very far from lovely, so I had to return them.

The shoes, that is, not the feet....

Boden's version (but not in black)

I like bodens version the best but I suspect the style will he done to death by the end of the Summer so the cheaper the better.

The Next ones are lovely. As are the Boden.
Not so fond of the Isabel Marant ones. Yes I know, I'm a philistine. But they are definitely Irish dancing shoes. Put eyelets in them, they're still Irish dancing shoes.

Ha, I hadn't made the dancing shoe connection in my head till just now!

After my previous spectacular link fails hopefully this will work! Here's Jane from My Midlife Fashion in the beautiful out of stock Office version These are my favourites.

Sorry for the double post. I thought the first version was lost

The Primark ones are pretty much identical to those Office ones by the look of that pic.

I might have a look at them today

Are these the Primark ones?

They're nice, but a bit open on the sides for me.

Yes that looks like them. They are pretty open but I like that as I hate hot feet - bit worried about wearing them in the sun mind you, I tend to catch it without realising and really don't want criss cross patterned feet!

Just FYI, was in Office today. They have another version out, nowhere near as nice , very very pointy with just a few small eyelets down the sides for a long thin lace (the overall look wasn't as 'strappy' as the previous version), they come in black or red suede €78.

Went and bought the Penney's / Primark version. OK they're not leather but I couldn't walk away because they were only €13! They come in black or cream suede. I had to size down as they were massive. They'll do me for the moment

When I say suede, I meant synthetic suede btw.

Some fashion bloggers spotted in Dalston this afternoon..........

I had some last summer and got fed up of tying them.

Twinklestein the versions I have seen have all had zips up the back. Don't blame you for being fed up!
