Shoe Boots

43 replies

notyummy · 10/01/2010 19:03

I am looking for some fairly funky shoe boots either grey black, blue or purple. I am tall so dont want 6 inch heels that make me look like a transvestite... 3 inch maybe.

Want to be able to wear them to work, but also out with dresses/ jeans in the evening.

Over to you, the fashion experts!

oooh touchy subject

Cyb · 10/01/2010 19:05

I ordered these but were too small..I liked them v. much. Also come in purple

Its a sore point

traceybath · 10/01/2010 19:06

I have these.

They are lovely and quite comfy.

Cyb · 10/01/2010 19:07

are they very high to walk in? M & S shoes are soo high sometimes

traceybath · 10/01/2010 19:13

No - not too bad - I think the platform makes them feel less high.

pointydig · 10/01/2010 19:20

oo cyb, I like those. Not worth ordering online, though, if too small?

Cyb · 10/01/2010 19:30

well they were too small for me. I'm an 8 and ordered an 8 (funny that). I sold them to my mate who is a 7 and they fitted her fine. So order up a size is my advice, if you can They WERE lovely.

(But not actually suede which was a bit naughty). But for that price who cares

Cyb - i do like those. I am a 6 1/2 to 7, so might fit the 7.

The M and S ones look funky....but high. I am nearly 5 10, and my husband feels dwarfed if I wear proper high heels. (And theres the fact that i cant walk in them after one glas of wine!!)

Anything else folks??

Have a look at these- a bit lower.

I like but they don't have my size

I'd already spotted those M and S ones and agree they are nice tethersend - unfortunstly they dont have them in my size.

DPs seems to have a lot I like the style of - but the website doesn't tell you the heel height, and I suspect most of them are pretty high.

Looks like cvbs are still front runners the moment.

Thanks all - and more suggestions always welcome!
