Autumn footwear for someone who doesn't like shoes

56 replies

CrispyTofu · 22/09/2023 21:59

I have some pumps, white trainers, a pair of sandals and a pair of wedges for summer. Some wellies, walking boots and black suede ankle boots for winter. I don't really 'love' any of these shoes, I don't like the ankle boots at all.

I've been looking for some autumn shoes that are easy to wear and comfortable as I walk a lot but also that look good. The problem is that I'm not sure I really like any shoe/boot!

Please help me stylish mumsnetters.

I manly wear long skirts, dresses and chinos. I wear lots of navy with white, or bright colours if dresses/skirts. Red,blue,yellow.

What shoes can I wear?

@Winnading , I generally only buy 2nd hand or in a very good sale. I'd use the local independent cobbler not the manufacturer, but haven't needed to yet other than back in the day when I wore high heels and would get them re-heeled.
I don't blame you for buying new if you can get them that reasonably.

It's fairly easy to find hardly worn expensive shoes 2nd hand, it might take a while and sizing is a bit tricky but I resell the ones I definitely don't want. If they don't spark joy they go.

These are pretty much the ones that Toast used to sell. Burgundy Rub-Off Gibson Shoe | Solovair | Handmade in England – NPS Solovair UK (nps-solovair.com)
A bit nicer than the DMs.

They're far too pointy compared to DMs. I have feet shaped feet.

They're not pointy IRL but mine came from Toast

I've just bought some fleecy converse hi tops in a mustard colour. Great reduction in TKMaxx.

I've been eyeing up some Sorel boots. I like the look of the lace up styles but think these might be more practical for ease of getting off and on.

Or some smart trainers?
