I’d recommend Air and Grace Anais, worth a try?

@CurdinHenry you have missed out:

Budget.

Size.

Day or night.

What clothes you’ll be wearing.

Really? They look like orthopaedic clown shoes! Definitely don’t meet the ‘glamorous’ brief 😂

Orthopedic?

Dont you know Embassy shoes?

They have different colours, I couldnt link with all of them. I have the black and white ones. They're incredibly smart.

Anything here catch your eye Esska?

CurdinHenry · 17/07/2026 21:08

Budget not specific but I'd feel weird about anything above 200 and prefer a lot less

Size 6.5 but 7 might work in a pinch

Clothes undecided but a midi or maxi dress prob

Check out Anonymous Copenhagen. I've had mixed luck with Ganzitos so I'm interested to hear about these.

Check out Kurt Geiger for interesting flats. Some in sale too.

Would a ballet flat in suede work?

dirtytiles · 18/07/2026 07:28

It’s hard to suggest options without knowing the style & colours in the outfit

DareDevil223 · 18/07/2026 07:43

@likelysuspect well I think the Embassy shoes are absolutely gorgeous and if that makes a lover of "orthopedic clown shoes" then I'm okay with that Grin

ThePainGrowsStronger · 18/07/2026 07:49

Maybe take a look at Charlie Stone?

ThePainGrowsStronger · 18/07/2026 07:49

Ooh. Those are pretty.

IsadoraQuagmire · 18/07/2026 11:55

ThePainGrowsStronger · 18/07/2026 07:49

Those are lovely!

Moveoverdarlin · 18/07/2026 13:53

These are by FAR the best ones that have been suggested.

Those embassy ones are just beyond hideous. I don’t think I could wear them if you paid me 5 grand.

CurdinHenry · 18/07/2026 17:57

My faves so far are the Charlie Stone but sold out in my size :(
