Stylish, not too high, black pumps/loafers - wide-ish fit…

[Broody1976]

Help!!

I need some black shoes for work. As stylish as poss - not high, wide-ish fit.

Pumps or loafers or structured ballet pumps… Block heel if not flat, I’m too chunky to pull off a kitten heel.

I’ve ordered from ASOS, Clark’s, Next… loads of places!! I’m beginning to think there is nothing out there that will fit the bill 😕

I’m trying to portray a more ‘professional’ look for work (Public Sector, frontline) so have bought some shift dresses which are fab but look ridiculous with trainers, which were my go to shoe of choice since lockdown.

Please can the collective might of Mumsnet help me find some shoes?

Following, looking for similar. Out of practice with heels, looking for flats or low wedges

What do you think of these, I quite like them:

The Lyndsey, Odette, Gretschen or Joanna styles might be whatv you're looking for.

Pretty Ballerina wear really well- I've got some that are over 10 year's old.

How amazing? The colour way is gorgeous. Not for work though 😂

I’d not even considered Pretty Ballerina - thank you for the reminder.

Try Dune or Mode in Pelle - I get most of my work shoes from there. 20% off at MIP.

Sorry! Link to loafers here, the chunky heel ones are really comfy. Mine are last year's now so I can't link to the exact pair.

They have loads of black pumps.

Thank you, will check them out!

Fab, thank you!

Jones the bootmaker do nice comfy loafers. i have wide feet, need a good sole and soft leather outer - can't stand hard uncomfortable shoes, have a few from jones, they also do half sizes. :-)

I have these in the tan and they look lovely on:

They look super soft! 😍

Totally forgot about Jones!! Thank you for the reminder!! Will have a look at their offerings now ☺️

I bought these…

they are lovely but not very supportive so I’m still hunting!!

They are delicious - I think the black pair might be my next purchase if they’re still available when my budget allows!
