okay - now I have the dark brown ones that you have in a basket on amazon but I am not going to proceed to check out just yet (what a tease I am)

Those ones would never work on me despite being called bee. I think bee's are usual elegant and fragrant. I am a bit more clumpy - oh god I am edna aren;t I.

I have ordered them in red! I like this. Am doing summer shopping on computer - being completely directed by other people. I ordered Lapin's trousers yesterday, today your shoes. It's going wonderfully well.

My legs are short, and ankle straps can be unforgiving. But might be alright with a heel. We shall see.

foxinsocks · 10/05/2008 10:03

yes, it's glorious isn't it. I've even got an exercise video on in the background so am vicariously exercising.

oh Bbee I bet you are fragrant. Like a honeysuckle.

brimfull · 10/05/2008 10:04

I like the ones BBBee linked to,the edna ones,but the ones fox linked to I couldn't get away with the ankle strap.

No, I think I might not either. but I shall see.

ooh ggirl. You temptress. I shall have to go out and find them in a shop and try them on I think. I have a weakness for posho sandals even though I'd hardly ever get to wear them.

foxinsocks · 10/05/2008 10:12

I like these they are so essex girl but I can't help myself. Would look stunning with a blue dress. I don't need them though, but I like looking at them .

brimfull · 10/05/2008 10:13

me too but what I need are comfy supportive ones.
Am suffering today after walking around town yesterday for hours with birkies on.Can feel my old planter fasciitis niggling.

what an old bag I am

lk bennett vaary expensive I think

yes, I'm in birkies too (in pale blue). They feel like slippers now but because I walk on the insides of my feet, I find they work up the hard skin around my big toe iyswim. I don't think they are actually that good for long distance walking really (did a lot of that last year and my feet hurt too) although they FEEL so comfortable, you sort of feel like you could!

I have an old pair of clarks v comfortable boring sandals for lots of walking. Actually, most of my shoes are quite boring I think.

paddingtonbear1 - Jakes (Stockport) is opposite Debenhams at the top of Princes St.

gorgeous shoes and bargains to be had!

BBBee · 10/05/2008 11:02

now i have these in my basket too because they are cheap and i like them but i am being silly i think. they are boots.

paddingtonbear1 · 10/05/2008 13:29

thanks lucycat, will definitely have a look - can't believe I've never noticed it before!

Quattrocento · 10/05/2008 13:32

Yellow does not go with white feet tho' - yellow makes white feet look dead white and a bit fishy. If feet are nicely bronzed then they will look fab

Tan now, that's something else

paddingtonbear1 · 10/05/2008 13:32

I like those boots BBBee, good price too - would you keep them for winter?

BBBee · 10/05/2008 13:42

yes i would save them for winter - i do have 5 pairs of boots already buit two need re-heeling.

I love boots.

ja9 · 10/05/2008 13:58

oh, those sandals are fab!

hoxtonchick · 10/05/2008 17:37
