Gold, Silver and Bronze Shoes

Who's excited about the Olympics? Who's telling themselves that if they really set their mind to it, they could probably almost definitely get a medal at Rio 2016? I'm convinced I'd be great at archery. Or maybe speed walking. And Helen Glover only took up rowing four years ago, I could give that a bash. No-one point out I'm only 5'4 and have the upper body strength of a kitten.

So while I'm training hard for my medal, I'm going to keep myself happy by wearing gold, silver and bronze footwear. That'll inspire me.


GOLD!

You're Jessica Ennis! Mel is the younger sister of footwear brand Melissa, and even more giddy and playful. These vegan-friendly gold brogues are made of soft plastic and smell of bubblegum. They're £28.


SILVER!

You're Gemma Gibbons! These low heel court shoes from Kurt Geiger will make your feet look like happy shiny mice. This is a good thing. They're £160, so if you want to show your love for silver in a cheaper way, check out these leather ballet pumps for just £22 from ASOS.


BRONZE!

I'm getting tired of commentators saying "what a shame, oh well" when someone gets a bronze medal. Bronze means you're third best in the entire world at something. THIRD BEST. That's bloody amazing! You're Rebecca Adlington!

These metallic bronze Poetic Licence sandals are £48 from Irregular Choice. I love the flower adorning your toes. Wear them and dare the rain to fall on you.
