Shoes for everyday

hsar200 · 09/03/2024 09:21

Ok so for ages I've been struggling to find shoes! I usually wear midi dresses with leggings and ankle boots. I'm a size 20 and the leggings and dresses are a non-negotiable. Can I please have some show reccomendations for every day please? I'm a wide fit as well. I feel like they would totally elevate a basic outfit but I don't know what to buy! My old boots are starting to fall apart so I really need a replacement soon! I'm 28 if that helps! I find it so hard to keep up with the current trends and I don't know if I can pull off trainers as haven't owned a casual pair since school. Please send help!!!

Have a look at Wonders. Beautiful shoes and boots.

Do they fit wide feet?

learieonthewildmoor · 17/03/2024 10:25

Depends which style you choose.
Campers Peu and Right styles fit wide feet.

Stormyweathr · 17/03/2024 10:48

I bought a pair of these they look very pretty with dresses

Mosulu or Hotter could be worth trying - the latter is designed for wider feet.

Whatstheword21 · 17/03/2024 17:47

Trainers for summer (new balance are my personal choice) and Birkenstocks and then dr martens for winter!

laclochette · 17/03/2024 20:26

I really feel you, I have no idea what to wear instead of my boots half the time in summer! I actually do often wear boots in summer, either DMs or Grensons (who make the most beautiful, well-made shoes that will last you, via their repair service, basically a lifetime). I love boots and dresses. It's a real pickle trying to find a summer alternative.

I wear new balance to work. Super comfy can’t remember the exact style but it’s 4 something. X

I'd go for a block heel mary jane or t-strap. These are nice, and wide fit. Being patent makes them a bit formal, but maybe you can find similar in a non-shiny finish.

Managed to pick up a couple of pairs in the next sale. Boots again alas! I'm now on the lookout for a nice pair of Valentino rock studs but the sandals with the block heel. Think they will go really well with my summer dresses. Like these https://www.farfetch.com/uk/shopping/women/valentino-garavani-rockstud-60mm-ankle-strap-sandals-item-15602077.aspx?lang=en-GB&size=23&storeid=12513&pupe=3337&puppcid=206008&pupid=15602077-23&utmmsource=google&utmmedium=cpc&utmmkeywordid=119354621&utmshoppingproductid=15602077-23&pid=googleesearch&afchannel=Search&c=2069273465&affcid=2069273465&affsiteid=&afkeywords=pla-387719487294&affadsetid=77928496498&affadid=218109591286&affsub1=119354621&afsub5=15602077-23&issretargeting=true&shopping=yes&gadsource=1&gbraid=0AAAAADsmKHQ0YqU7Y-0yKVlTihOpRO7sz&gclid=CjwKCAjwzN-vBhAkEiwAYiO7oL--GeZKLkM3he58IEjQlxwOtuNkR25XmYJsJQ3SO9Vh4w4TAzrIBBoCeaYQAvDBwE

Also I’ve seen lot lots of love for M and S sling backs in the media. Maybe worth considering also.

LunaNorth · 19/03/2024 07:57

DM Sandals?

nopuppiesallowed · 19/03/2024 09:48

How do people manage to keep sling backs on? The backs slide down my heels....

Zamazenta · 27/03/2024 02:26

Fly london do amazing comfortable chunky sandals that are good for wide fit

Amazon often have great offers and free returns

brogueish · 27/03/2024 10:51

Just get some birkenstocks for summer. They sound like they'd be perfect for you. Or something like Novesta/Superga/Converse pumps.

NotFastButFurious · 27/03/2024 12:47

Nothing about those shoes or boots you've posted links to says "quite ethnicy" or Monsoon dresses to me!!

ChaoticCrumble · 27/03/2024 17:50

I will admit to wearing leggings with dresses... I usually wear saltwater sandals (albeit they are getting a little too flat for me as I age), superga, converse. Fly London wedges when I need a heel. But I don't think any of those fit ethnicy either.

namechangeaaargh · 27/03/2024 21:28

Dr Martens Olson sandals might work although I don't know f they suit wide feet.

NannaKaren · 04/04/2024 18:54

Have a look at the trainers-they go with so many outfits !
…Fitflop have such a huge range 😊

Amiable · 05/04/2024 09:38

Your style sounds very similar to mine - I’m size 20, wear lots of dresses, wide leg trousers - Monsoon, East style.

I love a brand called Uin - really comfortable, and I absolutely love the colours and patterns. I have 7 pairs so far! I also love fitflops and have several different styles.
