If I used to love Hobbs shoes, where should I shop now?

I have loads of lovely Hobbs shoes but I think they might have lost their best designer as everything they've got in now is pretty ordinary (courts, kitten heels, the sort of thing you get in LK Bennett).

What I used to love were their shoes that almost had a 30s vibe, a blocky heel, a platform in the sole, fab colours. I had a stunning pair of grass green strappy sandals with a solid heel and platform that just lifted everything - something a bit like this but in a lovely colour:

I can't do high heels really but always found Hobbs really walkable so great for wearing to work. Everywhere else I've looked has a spindly court shoe type heel and a basically boring design.

Any suggestions? Where do you get lovely shoes from?

oh my goodness they are lovely and have exactly the right vibe. Just need to find the right ones in my size now.

Just did some further research and found these beauties:

Yes Chie Mihara might be just your thing.

Funnily enough I saw some John Lewis shoes online today and thought they looked just like Hobbs used to. They're not the style you're after but I'll post them anyway: click

Ooh aren't they lovely? I've ordered two pairs of sandals - suspect neither will fit, but it is free delivery & returns...

Just sharing that these have just arrived and are lovely. www.chiestore.com/granada_1853.3php

They are not at all what I needed which was a mid heel work shoe but they are fab and just mean I still am in need of pair of shoes so can keep on looking. Super fast service as well.
