Shoe Porn: Pretty Shoes For Unruly Feet

Seeing as we've bypassed spring and hurtled headlong into summer, it's time to retire my clompy boots and brogues and step out in flimsy, pretty shoes. However, my feet are problematic: flat and skinny and unable to tolerate heels. I need to be firmly strapped into my shoes from every possible angle so they don't fling themselves off my low arches. This rules out ballerina pumps, slingbacks and most sandals (sob).

I can't be the only one with unruly feet, so I've gone hunting for shoes that are light enough for spring, sturdy enough to stay on my feet, that don't look orthopedic or like fetishwear (all those straps can get a bit kinky).



You all loved Miss L Fire, so here's another pair. These Maitai wedges are covered with umbrellas, and thus perfect for British weather. £42.54 from Javeri.



Rocket Dog specialise in adorable slip-on pumps, and this flowery pair is no exception. They're £28 from Schuh, and that includes the cute ladybird resting on the front.



More polka-dots? Sure! You can pick up these t-bar flats for £25 from Schuh. They come in leopard-print and gold if you prefer something more vampy.



Irregular Choice is really spoiling us with these ones, available in five colourways. These are £54.99 and I can already predict I'll be wearing them til it starts snowing.




Finally, if I want to brave a small heel, I might go for these Bertie Siene sandals with their rather lovely tapestry finish. They're £85 from Schuh.
