mostly for wearing with dresses, any price point. What would you choose?

I’ve bought the Penelope Chilvers Shepherdess sandals in tan, they have been a great choice. They are incredibly comfortable and soft. I think they look stylish but I’m prepared to be contradicted by the youngsters.

I’m eyeing up mesh pointed toe flats and a pair of adidas ballet taekwondo trainers in cow print.
I have sandals/mules sorted from previous years.

I'm liking all the woven flats, but don't love wearing totally flat shoes.

@JMAngel1 What kind of wedges do you have?

I'm debating these

@Britpopbaby Were those comfortable straight off, or do they need breaking in? I tried their Zebzag sandals recently and liked them (ok, I might end up buying more than one pair of shoes) but felt like it might take them a while to break in.

@user6758493 sorry I don’t really do wedges.
I just have sandals and mules. I prefer a stiletto or kitten heel or a flat. I find wedges make me look and feel heavier when I walk.
