Comfortable fairly casual shoe options with fitted stylish wool coat

10 replies

I have a lovely wool coat and want to wear it more but with smart casual outfits am a bit stuck for the right shoes.

I have boots when I want to go smarter but for times when I need to walk across town or commute what sort of really comfy shoes might work?

A requirement is a height boost as I am short. Are white flatform trainers too passe?

Any smarter trainers? Other options I haven't thought of?

I have these i wear with my wool coats.
Adidas Bold with a platform sole from Sports Direct in Burgundy & I have a pale pink version as well. Coloured trainers are more in than white at the moment in Browns/burgundy colourways. Though Pink is becoming increasingly popular for spring.

Alternatively a pair of chunky heeled loafers. I have a Brown suede Gabor pair, as they fit my orthotic inserts but there are lots around at the moment.

Unfortunately the app is not allowing me to post any pictures at the moment.

Have a look here and see which shapes appeal:

A bit too clompy for me albeit they're fashionable. Thank you for the idea though.

Thank you too. I'll google the adidas.

Oh no. Have you looked on the Adidas website? Lots of different colours coming out now in the Spezials Bold.
I love mine - have the burgundy ones on today.
