Shoe help please

I have bought this dress from Coast for a wedding but I need shoe help please.

I am 48, 5ft 10, size 20/22 with size 9/10 feet (ideally an EU44).

I have some high heel black patent shoes that are comfy and I love but I’m dreaming of either silver or scarlet red shoes - unfortunately big feet have limited choices.

I’ve searched all my usual places but nothing has made me go wow. Has anyone got any suggestions please?

I hate auto correct

The shoes you have look really lovely I dont think red would look good, silver maybe but what you have looks great so why bother. Dress needs steam though to get wrinkles out.

Beautiful dress.

I like both the orange ones and the pink ones @floofycroissant has linked.

New Look & River Island online both go up to size 9, I just looked.
Silver sandals & jewellery would look good.

JeremiahObadiahJackanoryJonez · 12/03/2022 20:25

I really can’t get into size 8s. I really wish I could and quite often size 9s are too small Sad

@Ohsugarhoneyicetea it really does - it’s creased to buggery. I’m going to try hanging it in the bathroom while we all shower this week - I’m scared to put an iron anywhere near it!

These silver ones come in triple E width which is more like a 9.5

@floofycroissant love the orange ones - with cobalt nail polish?! Tights not an option with sandals though I guess?

Not keen on the flats, especially with the points - I’d feel a bit like a diver wearing flippers!

Love the leopard print as well but not sure they’d go as well as the orange ones - or the pink ones in the next link.

Thanks @PrancerFeet - it kept popping up on my Facebook ads - I was so pleased with it! I’m liking the orange I think.

@SommerTen I looked at New Look but was looking at red and silver only! Didn’t know about River Island or JD Williams and completely forgot about Simply Be.

Normal go to are:
Long Tall Sally
Hush Puppies
Clarks
TK Maxx
Moshulu
Next
New Look
Asda

I'd prob go for a nude or ballet slippers toe with maychy-matchy orangey-red fingernails

JeremiahObadiahJackanoryJonez · 12/03/2022 21:59

@floofycroissant you’re ace. Only downside if nude is 3 of my toe nails are bruised/black at the moment from a hiking weekend. Wedding is later this month so they’re unlikely to have grown out. I’m going to order the orange and hope the nails don’t drop off altogether GrinBlush

You do look fab!

Maireas · 11/04/2022 07:55

I'm glad you didn't wear court shoes - do you have a better picture with the shoes?.

JeremiahObadiahJackanoryJonez · 11/04/2022 08:02

Thank you 😊

Sadly no, dh was asked to get a photo and make sure he included the shoes. This is was his original attempt - the above is the best of the rest. He just had one job Grin

They're a great choice!
You look fabulous, but I'm very disappointed to see that you're not wearing the Dutch Sapphire tiara.....

Goldengoosey · 11/04/2022 08:51

Lovely outfit. @floofycroissant was an excellent personal advisor Grin Some great choices there. Loved the orange with the blue-I wouldn’t have thought of that and really like those pink shoes too x

JeremiahObadiahJackanoryJonez · 11/04/2022 10:43

@Maireas well a save the date just popped up yesterday so maybe I could wear it for that one? Wink

@Goldengoosey absolutely - I even listened to the mail colour advice! @floofycroissant should take all of the credit Grin
