Dark grey wide fit shoes?

I seem to have been looking all day. Do you have any ideas where i might find some?. They are to go with this dress. I have ordered a blush coloured jacket to go with it.

Or any other ideas about shoes very welcome but must be wide. Could i get away with black?. It is for a formal work occasion / celebration.

The closest I have come is pale grey clarks on ebay but they are not right.

I think if you can't find grey, you may be able to get away with a blush pink/nude to pick up on the colour of the pattern. What sort of heel height are you after?

margaritasbythesea · 02/05/2015 19:14

Mid heel. I will be working in them all day so can't be too high. Blush heels and blush jacket too much? I don't think a dark colour jacket would work.

Try Next - they do a surprising range of wide fit shoes. I have a pair of wide fit heeled work shoes from them and always get compliments when i wear them. Need to order though - don't seem to be in store.

Thanks. Have had a look but no joy this time. Good selection though.

That's a tricky colour to find. I was looking for grey sandals a few years back, and ended up with some dull silvery ones, because that was as close as I could get.

I think black would work, but only if you choose something delicate/strappy so it's not too overpowering. Tricky with wide feet, I know.

Or a blush colour, as suggested?

Hmmm and there was I thinking pewter was everywhereca couple of years ago.....

these are the ones I found on ebay. Too pale?

maybe a bit too taupey rather than grey if they're described as mushroom (though they do look grey in the pic.) How about these?

Good colour, height but not wide as far as i can see. I have been trying to think of that website all night though. Thanks!

Debenhams have lots of grey. Filter by colour but:

Width could be a bit haphazard though.

I would choose this if it were me, as I know they'd be comfortable most of the day:

I'd wear silver shoes with that dress.

MangoBiscuit · 03/05/2015 07:33

Ooh, I have that dress. It's lovely, one of my favourites. I usually wear it with pale tan heels, which works with the blush and peachy coloured print. For wide fitting shoes, try Evans.

Nude Courts

Same but wedges

TheGirlOnTheLanding · 03/05/2015 07:37

Margarita, it says in the description those sarenza ones are for wide feet, though it doesn't say it on the size.

jimmybim · 03/05/2015 07:54

M&S?

margaritasbythesea · 03/05/2015 08:24

Thankyou for all the links!

Sorry thegirl i missed that.

bikerunski i did have a look at silver but i think slingbacks would be too casual for this event. I own those coral courts but they aren't right. They don't seem to be right with anything actually. Still in the box.

Both pairs of block heels are a good colour, I just don't like block heels.

maybe i need go think about the jacket. Mangobiscuit what colour jacket do you wear? Love the dress. All the colours that best suit me rolled into one!

I reckon you could do coral with that dress. A brighter shade of the 'blush' and lots more around at the moment (Clarks have kitten heel courts in that colour). Maybe another coral accessory - earrings or necklace - to tie it together.

MangoBiscuit · 05/05/2015 16:22

Sorry, can't help with jacket suggestions. I am yet to find one that doesn't look ridiculous on my top heavy frame.

margaritasbythesea · 05/05/2015 17:32

Thanks for suggestions. I am holding fire now until the jacket gets here and then i will take the plunge.
