Which Esska shoes with this dress?

I’ve bought this dress for a 50th party and would like to treat myself to some Esska shoes to go with it. What colour/style should I go for?

Also how is the sizing with Esska? True to size? I’m a 7 usually. Thanks!

No idea but that dress is lovely!

Esska sizing usually spot on in my experience (have a good collection of them). I'd be buying a pair that you'll use more than once so a colour you can use often.

I like the Charlie and the chaza as they are a good heel height. They come in a huge range of colours.

Ooh great dress! And great choice of shoes. Seconding everything @HavfrueDenizKisi has said, sizing is good and pretty spot on. I’m somewhere between a 5 and a 5.5, and their 5 works perfectly for me. Charlie is such a good shoe- so comfy you can wear it for hours. You can get away with pretty much any colour (perhaps bar gold) with that dress. Happy choosing!!

Nice dress! I have a pair of Valerie in black metallic, chunky heel is about 3.5 inches. I think they come up v slightly big. Very comfortable. The Valerie comes in lots of colours inc silver. Not sure what colour you should wear, anything but gold I guess.

BeaLola · 24/05/2024 13:39

Im a 6.5 but have wide feet - woukd I get into any Esskas ? They look lovely - are they super comfy ?

CornflakeGirl18 · 24/05/2024 13:42

Gorgeous dress! I have the Valerie in teal, I'm a size 4 and a half with wide feet and the size 5 is perfect for me.

Fraaahnces · 24/05/2024 13:46

I love the dress, but the black is a bit heavy for it, I think. Do they have any platinum or pewter ones? Nude might be even better.

I think teal or even something like pink or green or orange would be good with that dress. Black is boring and too heavy, silver/pewter might be a bit matchy and gold wouldn't work.

Just had another look and I think I'd get the Charlie in petrol...

Ah yes, mine are petrol - I just couldn't think of the right name. It's a lovely colour imo.

Sedgwick · 24/05/2024 14:19

The petrol is a good shout, it’s shiny and pretty, keeps the bright feel of the dress and I think you would get good wear with other clothes.

neonyellowskirt · 24/05/2024 14:37

I'd go for the Charlie in pink velvet.

ElleWoods15 · 24/05/2024 17:04

@BeaLola esska do some shoes specifically with wide fit so you could definitely wear them.

diddl · 24/05/2024 17:24

Love the velvet ones!

WingingItSince1973 · 24/05/2024 17:30

Oh those shoes are beautiful. Shame I have such wide feet and a big toenail missing 😭😭😭 Love the dress too OP x

justabigdisco · 24/05/2024 19:03

Thanks everyone some great colour suggestions so far 😊

I concur with going for a brighter colour. Don't try to match, and black is too heavy. Fabulous outfit! Have fun, you will look brilliant at the party.

fishonabicycle · 24/05/2024 20:24

Love the dress - gutted it's sold out in my size!

mimiasovitch · 24/05/2024 21:31

I have a pair of Charlie in a 40 and it's spot on. Valerie on the other hand is a touch too big, but I was too stubborn to return and I now have regrets, as the bit of movement cut my heels to shreds. I'm probably going to put them on Vinted and get another pair of Charlies.

Sedgwick · 24/05/2024 21:53

@fishonabicycle Fenwick have it in lots of sizes but it’s not sale price.

tiktokoclock · 24/05/2024 22:16

Yes, I agree with the others - the Charlie is great, but get a different colour. Teal/petrol would be gorgeous.
