As it's in South Wales, it's not terribly expensive. (I know, the Holy Grail!) <br /><br />Sadly he mainly stocks shoes for his regular clientele, which can be loosely grouped under the "sensible little old lady shoe" umbrella. However, as he has some Italian stockists, every now and then an absolutely gorgeous pair of heels appears, which I just can't wait to snap up from him. My favourite pairs are:<br />- patent leather black with a leopard print band outlining the opening for your foot (badly described, beautiful shoes!)<br />- sparkly gorgeous heels, like Louboutins but about 1/10th of the price!<br />- Maroon knee-high boots<br /><br />Next time I raid his stock room, I'll take pictures!<br /> cymruangelhttp://twitter.com/cymruangelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1273652815577465353.post-56154437929447665232013-03-10T20:20:08.667+00:002013-03-10T20:20:08.667+00:00John Fluevogs for me.

They're (mostly) leather, apart from the vegan ones, comfortable enough to run for the train in, & quirky, so that people notice them. The lovely people in the SoHo NYC shop tell me that with my foot size (41 -42) I can wear pretty much any style in the shop, male or female. And their men's shoes are as nicer (some nicer!) than the women's. <br /><br />http://www.fluevog.com/code/Kate N.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1273652815577465353.post-3192261297008647792013-03-07T21:23:11.848+00:002013-03-07T21:23:11.848+00:00Interestingly, here in Peru I find the cheap high ...Interestingly, here in Peru I find the cheap high heels (often sold alongside "Havaianas" that are clearly cheap flip-flops with the label stuck on them) to be really comfortable! I plan on acquiring more pairs soon! My favourite high heels I actually bought here in Peru 2 years ago, they're very high but they're just plain black strappy sandals, not dissimilar to what ASOS are selling at the moment. They go with anything. <br /><br />I'm not good at wandering around in high heels for long, no matter how comfy, (part of it, sorry to scare anyone thinking of coming to Peru, just being practical, is that if I get into trouble I want to be able to run) so I wear high heels inside the club/bar then switch to flip-flops or nice flat shoes outside.

Alas, I've sold several pairs on eBay but I do still squeeze into my PERFECT black simple Louboutin 4 inch pumps, I love them so much and they are still pretty comfortable considering my poor feet get squished into them. <br /><br />I think the silliest shoes I own are the Mobius Hi shoes in bright pink by United Nude. Look bonkers AND really uncomfortable, but I reckon they're a design classic<br /><br />Melaniehttps://twitter.com/Polhilliannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1273652815577465353.post-80071524681029251382013-03-07T11:30:24.003+00:002013-03-07T11:30:24.003+00:00Yellow shoes have a habit of doing that.

I just couldn't think of any other possible use for the room when we moved in.<br />It's pretty much full of heels, heels and more heels. No ankle straps (they make my cankle look like a thigh) and not too many wedges - I just can't seem to walk in them?!<br /><br />My old favourites are Iron Fist - they have such creepily beautiful shoes (with great front platforms) and they can be teamed even on posh dress days for a little bit of understated rebellion. The Dorothy shoes are my absolute favourite.<br /><br />However, the recent discovery of www.everythingfivepounds.com (oh, the secret is out!) has led me to purchasing LOTS of shoes/boots that I can wear on the odd occasion and not feel too guilty about if they don't get worn for a while! <br /><br />KelStarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14008635747150319295noreply@blogger.com
