Help me find some shoes that don't make me look like two golf clubs please...

[Penguinsaresmall]

I am tall and average sized (a 12) but the bottom half of my legs is really skinny. As a result any non-high heeled shoes make my feet look like canoes. I don't wear skinny jeans for this reason too...

I have this problem every time I have to put my winter boots away - any suggestions of what kind of shoes I could try please?

What size are your actual feet? Honestly I can't remember the last time I looked at someone's feet and thought "wow huge feet". I understand feeling self conscious, it's just that I'm sure it's not as bad as you think :)

I'd avoid anything too pointy, and plimsolls too, like converse (they can make anyone feel as though they're wearing clown shoes). What about some leather sandals, with a small 1-1.5 inch heel to give you a little lift? That way you don't get the lengthening effect of a continuous shoe shape, the straps might break it up a bit. Something like this?? Loads out there and they look comfy.

Thanks Blair I do like the look of those sandals

My feet are an 8 and are long and skinny which doesn't help - although you're probably right, they look worse to me than to anybody else, particularly with the view I get of them!
