Good quality shoes

I am fed up with buying shoes and they feel good in the shop but after a couple of hours of wearing i have blisters. These are mainly Next or New look shoes.

Help please in giving me some pointers on where to buy some quality soft, leather or suede court shoes or similar, kitten heel. Just some nice decent shows that look smart for work, and will last and fit lovely.

Thank you

My go-to is Clarks. They do different widths which makes a huge difference - it may be that your blisters are being caused by the shoe being either too narrow or too wide - too narrow and pinching will cause blisters, too wide and rubbing will cause them. Something like this might be the style you are looking for:

Where do you work that you need court shoes?

My go to for everyday shoes / boots is Grenson:

Their sale prices are pretty much the same as High St brands and they are superbly made. Annoyingly indestructible.

If you want soft leather avoid anything shiny.
