I have bought this for the evening part of my sons wedding. It’s not til the summer BUT my task is hard so I am looking when I can.

The issue is I have bloody awful cankles which are worse when it’s hot. And a high instep. I could manage a small heel so long as it was robust.
my general look is a bit ‘edgy’ maybe?? I think I’m looking for an ankle boot rather than a shoe due to the ankle issue.

But it’ll be summer so needs to be maybe a bit sparkly or Metallic or maybe even suede?? Not black ideally. Don’t mind a colour. Would consider up to about £400. Must be fairly easy to walk in/comfy.
I thought now might be a good time to look due to Xmas parties etc

I am a size 8

any ideas? I have tried esska btw, they don’t fit 😩

Maybe some cowboy/western boots, they're cool right now.
Free People has loads: www.freepeople.com/uk/shop/party-favor-western-boots
But the dress seems metallic as well and I'm not sure about clashing metals.

No help on the boots, but oh wow to the dress! Are you sure you won’t outshine the bride, though?

Fabulous evening dress OP!! Good luck finding boots, there will be a pair but I'm not knowledgeable myself.

dudsville · 30/10/2022 20:33

Those are amazing boots @MondayYogurt , they call to the younger me, wish i had a use for them.

Kenworthington · 30/10/2022 20:35

@PauliString haha no chance, there’s no bride. It’s a gay wedding!

Ankle boots are going to emphasise the cankles.

Kenworthington · 30/10/2022 20:36

poh I love those @MondayYogurt but I don’t know if they go up big enough? Am confused by the US sizing .Those are a good shout because they have a zip, I can’t do a pull on boot.

If I don’t do ankle boots am considering the option of some amazing sandals with some fancy socks. I know. I have prob a unique sense of my own style. I do like those boots ipthread though. I don’t care about them ‘matching’ but they need to SPeak to me ya know

Sosander have some gold
ankle boots and Mint Velvet have some lovely metallic ones.

Kenworthington · 30/10/2022 20:46

I looked at those mint velvet ones but I’m not sure if the open toe?

not keen on the straight top of the m&s ones. I feel like I’d like them to dip down at the front if poss?

Kenworthington · 30/10/2022 20:46

I’ll have a look at sosander…

Free people is very much my kind of style. I like those kind of slouchy pixie boot type ones too but they always seem to be pull on and I won’t get them on with my high instep.

Mint velvet have some lovely boots in this season.

I have my eye on a couple of these myself but think some would go great with that gorgeous dress.

Lots more choice as well.

Can’t link on my phone so screenshot but I like these but need a zip!

Ooh I love those Sammy ones @MerlinsButler but again no blinking zip!

I may try those peep toe ones maybe they’ll make them look a bit more summery too
