Evans shoes are well wearing. Have bought a sale pair from there once. I am tall and weigh a ton and stamp all my shoe heels to death, Evans are a lot better lasting.

They are not that pretty, though, a load of old frump shoes.

Can she not wear flats? Would rather wear ballet shoes than shitty kitten heels.

can't do flats either because of cankles. Am beginning to think maybe will need to wear trousers as tried on gorgeous dress lent to me by Tutter in M and S today with nice jacket and was horrified by mammoth calf and ankle width. Only have 3/4 mirror at home so hadn't noticed how bad the spread was

Tutter · 05/02/2008 13:20

no no no that dress cannot be worn with flats

heeled boots acceptable

i wore it with boots to Very Posh Restaurant

as long as jazzed up with exciting necklace/scarf will be fine

there are some great boot bargains to be had atm

what size are you?

ahundredtimes · 05/02/2008 13:21

Are these too high? I think they'd be flattering.

Tutter · 05/02/2008 13:22

for example

hang on will se if i can find any for the - ahem - wider calf

NoNickname · 05/02/2008 13:23

Wide fit shoes here

Tutter · 05/02/2008 13:27

ok i wouldn't normally advise plastic boots, but if they're for one wear only then something like these

duo boots have some lovely ones - but am guessing you don't want to fork out £100+

Tutter · 05/02/2008 13:28

another pair - in black - at viva la diva

fishie · 05/02/2008 13:29
