want something to wear with wide trousers, when not wearing sneakers
and with aline skirts and opaque tights, when not wearing boots
not bothered about comfort!

Have seen some lovely brogues with a chunky heel, not sure if they're 'in' but imo look v. nice with trews. Esp. if said trews are on the long side.

office have good wedges about £40 not as orthopaedic looking, and great with anything... I would try and do a link but I am tired... they did them in red or black, still have them online... I wore mine out, they are now in the bin, sob...

EmsMum · 23/09/2007 22:06

They look quite like the 70s shoes I wore to school despite my mum's fears I'd break my ankles.

One of the advantages of being a certain age is that you can Just Say No to platforms and wedges. been there, done that, fallen off them...
