I need to buy footwear. I have farm boots and gumbies and that's it! I have recently moved nearer to a town, made friends and gained a social life so I am in desperate need of nicer clothes and footwear. I honestly have to idea when it comes to fashion so please help me!

Comfy and stylish sandals for walking. Try for a neutral colour that goes with most of your wardrobe.
Also trainers, not super athletic looking.
That will get you through summer. In the fall look for some ankle length boots.

A pair of beige/nude wedge sandals, not too high, they'll go with anything in any colour, jeans, dresses, skirts. Try New Look.
White trainers.
Pretty flip flop type sandals, Primark are cheap and they last, had some of mine for years.
Slider type sandals with one or two straps across the foot, I've just bought some new ones in Primark, beige, mint green, gold (two thin straps with jewels)
I went out for lunch yesterday and wore a light brown top, cream ankle length trousers (H&M) and my new gold sliders, I looked smart / casual.
For other ideas look online at clothes sites, New Look, River Island or whatever shops you buy from then look at the models feet and see what shoes they're wearing with say, casual trousers, smart trousers, skirts, dresses.
I've just bought some smart wide leg trousers, struggled with finding the right shoe so I looked at the model online and she was wearing a flat sandal, perfect.
For the winter, an ankle boot, a knee high boot, a pair of brogues.
The ankle boot for jeans, knee high boot for dresses and skirts, brogues for dresses and skirts with thick tights

Love a trainer, but I’ve lived in my Birkenstock Bostons so far this summer - they’re a bit cooler looking with everything and get me out of that constantly wearing trainers rut.
For sandals I love a tan saltwater. They go with everything.
Winter I’m an Ugg girl - both the boots and the Tasmans.

Ive lived in converse ballet pumps all summer. Lovely with dresses or jeans and wide leg trousers. Love them!

I've been living in trainers for the last 3 years (not entirely due to laziness, I've had achilles injuries) and am now trying to wean myself off them and occasionally wear actual shoes (of which I have a huge selection all sitting unused in boxes). Yesterday I wore some black leather Neous sandals but lost patience with them when I had to walk slowly to keep them on. So I swapped to some black rubber slides (JW Anderson). I've realised that I'm basically moving from trainers to slippers 😂

Do you have a shoe budget @Vegemitemum ?

Vegemitemum · 16/07/2023 20:24

This is great, thank you. I'm going to check out all your suggestions. Budget is flexible, I was thinking around £200 ish??

I have a lot of shoes from Tracey Neuls - they're very comfy and have an edge to them but that means they don't really date but still look cool. They're not the cheapest as they're all handmade and fabulous quality and last forever (I've built my stash up over the last decade) and you can sometimes get a bargain in her sales if you get lucky with sizing.

I love the Birkenstock Boston mules too, love a slip on!
