Please help me find nice comfy but interesting shoes - something like Converse or Rocketdog styles in a turquoise or jade type of colour

I would like something really bright and cheering please Boco

pref in blue / green shades but black with rainbows on are certainly tempting

OP posts:
Boco · 29/02/2008 20:14

MissMalaprop · 29/02/2008 20:15

I couldn't get your link, sorry Boco

I like the flower pattern on these, not so keen on the buckle

whizz56 · 29/02/2008 20:18

admit it you like my style and you are going to invest in a smock!

whizz56 · 29/02/2008 20:19

I love those boco

MissMalaprop · 29/02/2008 20:21

Aw, I love them! Would buy them all in a flash if only I didn't already have three pairs of trainers

Boco · 29/02/2008 20:21

look these are pretty!

Boco · 29/02/2008 20:22

Fat face ones v pretty
would rather have lace up or chunky style than ballerina though
I need to wear with wide jeans and combats and prefer the larger sort of shoe with them, not the big ankle tiny foot look

OP posts:
Boco · 29/02/2008 20:23

Are these a bit too wholemeal or still quite funky?

Don't you like those pretty turquoise ones?

Original poster
FrannyandZooey · 29/02/2008 20:24

they are nice but I want a BIG BOLD colour
or a funny pattern
or glitter, or sequins, or something
I want prozac style shoes

FrannyandZooey · 29/02/2008 20:25

erm

Boco have you been on a style thread with me before?

I tend to reject all suggestions for about 3 hours and then decide to buy the first ones someone suggested

that is why no other bugger will touch this thread

whizz56 · 29/02/2008 20:26

I can't wear smocks thanks to my more than ample stomach...perhaps that where the obsession started

FrannyandZooey · 29/02/2008 20:26

well I think smocks are more for the straight up and down lady, yes

your shoes are coming out in front so far though
