What shoes should I wear with skirts?

Oh dear, the ignominy of starting a style and beauty thread (like I care about these things!) but I need advice.

I tend to be a jeans and boots kind of girl but I might have to start wearing skirts more often and want to know what shoes I should buy to go with them. Not court shoes surely? I find them so uncomfortable. And not old ladies' lace up shoes either. Nothing with high heels (small heel fine) as I am tall enough without adding to it.

I just saw Cod's choice of footglove boots and was expecting to hate them but I actually like them (though doubt they would fit my feet) so my faith in Cod's shoe sense is restored, so Cod please feel free to post too.

Oh, one other thing, I have wide feet and my left foot is one and a half sizes bigger than my right foot so the shoes can't have a pointy toe and the uppers must be quite high.

But if you could just post links to the kind of shoe I should look for, then I can sort out the details.

TIA.

PrincessPeaHead · 28/09/2008 21:18

Tutter · 28/09/2008 21:19

PrincessPeaHead · 28/09/2008 21:21

I used dentil the other day to get onto a tricky triple word score

no it is the little teeth (hence dentil) hanging from a cornice or architrave

PrincessPeaHead · 28/09/2008 21:26

like so

Tutter · 28/09/2008 21:31

ooh, that's good

will use that definition for balderdash one day

PrincessPeaHead · 28/09/2008 21:34

they didn't photograph the playroom!
that was the tv room (that cupboard has the tv and a zillion DVDs in it). Of course before the photographers came around it also was covered in toys but I boxed them up in about 15 plastic crates and hid them in an outbuilding

Tutter · 28/09/2008 21:36

no, i was looking at the floorplan

(good layout for a listed house though)

(despite toycupboard playroom)

PrincessPeaHead · 28/09/2008 21:52

aaah you were looking at what was called the "little playroom", which was actually a computer room off the kitchen, not the "big playroom" which was completely out of control with Toys and Books and Stuff... which they called something else entirely on the floorplan (can't remember what!)
