I have the same struggle every September! I’ve spent the summer in Birkenstocks and need some smarter shoes until I can get my trusty boots out again (I try and avoid this until half term!)
I have to look reasonably smart. I’m school leadership and can’t get away with white trainers that I wear usually. I have a couple of pairs of brogues already. I need some flats to wear (preferably without socks) with midi dresses, skirts and ankle length trousers.
However, I have really stupid feet! I’m size 5 but really flat and narrow. I can literally walk out of most pumps, leaving them on the shop floor behind me!
Any ideas? Am willing to spend a bit if needed.
