High heels with the practicality of a low shoe

I am desperate to find comfortable shoes that are high but don't look it. This is mostly for work. They don't have to be super smart, just smart, to be worn mostly with ankle length slim trousers.

What I call 'shoes for ladies' look ridiculous on me. For example: www.clarks.co.uk/p/26117814?cm_mmc=Google--Product-Listing-Ads--PLA-_-la&kpid=26117814&gclid=CLvIv9a7_ssCFZUW0wodgOIEFA

Even though I'm in my 40s, I end up looking like I'm dressing up in my mum's clothes.

My ideas shoe is a wedge with a platform but it is extremely difficult to find something relatively smart looking.

I don't even care about the price anymore.

Help me please.

Marking place as I want the same thing.

How about these from Geox
or these from Gabor? Both along the lines of a ballet flat with a wedge.

Actually I just bought a lower Gabor version and am kicking myself for not trying the higher ones...

Lol - I didn't think you'd like them!

Wedge I think these are pretty hideous tbh but they are nearly sold out, so somebody must like them.

Haha same as previous poster! They are actually really nice in the flesh!

I second El Naturalista. Heels that are so comfy you forget you're wearing heels!
