Shoe inspiration needed please

I am totally out of practice in ‘going out’ shoes and welcome ideas!

I have this red dress & this green / navy jumpsuit to wear over the next month or so and could really do with new shoes.

Looking for style AND some level of comfort - hahaha.

I think I need mid heels as I am short but can’t walk in super high shoes, Wedges and block heel good but probably not cork or the straw type heels as I don’t think they’re as smart as the dress.

To make matters more complicated, I have wide feet with very high insteps making some shoes a challenge. Also thick ankles so ankle straps not ideal (as well as being unflattering, they often don’t reach!). Though I do like my shoes to stay on and not slop. I don’t wear black, but open to any other colours.

Any ideas and inspiration welcomed!

Colour gold? I think of gold as neutral. Grin

I have wide feet too, I like Gabor wide fit wedges, last year they did a silver/ gold version called Jesse I think.

Agree, metallics probably good.

I'm not keen on the espadrille style wedge for this dress though, seems too casual for the dress / occasion (wedding - family member)

I do own these fabulous gold sandals and they look fab with the dress. But I think I am too old and wobbly to wear them now, I can’t walk nicely in them any more Sad.

I have least, super comfortable as well. They do have an ankle strap but plenty of room for adjustment

Or these are a newer style

Haha, I have those M&S sandals in navy! They are comfy and great with crops and shorts, but definitely not for this occasion.

I clearly need to have a look at Moda in Pelle - not a brand I have shopped with before so thanks for that Flowers. Seem to be a lot of out of stock items annoyingly.

Lots of nice, suitable shoes in Moda and Pelle!

What do you think of these? I am focussing on the red dress primarily.

Fingers crossed as well!
House of Fraser also stock them

Good to know! Am boycotting HOF online ordering since the Sportsdirect takeover and making returns so bloomin’ hard.
Not that I checked MIP’s policies before ordering!

I went into HOF for the first time in months and they had hardly any stock!(but lots of shoes I liked thoughWink)
God knows what he's doing with it, it used to be such a lovely store EnvyWill bear it in mind not to order online if returns are a pain!!

New look do a wide fit as do ASOS if you want something cheap and cheerful to try? I found some lovely black strappy block heels recently

VictoriaLudorum · 06/07/2021 05:20

May I ask where your jumpsuit is from? It is lovely.

Chewbecca · 06/07/2021 07:55

Fenn Wright Manson. It’s in the sale currently - £99 from £199. It’s very nice, hangs well. I have the petite version, think it comes in regular too.
