But even flatties aren't always comfortable. I have had pairs that have rubbed my heels bare and taken the skin off my little toes. But then there is always that one pair that fits perfectly and that you live in until they are completely worn out because you can't imagine anything else feeling quite like it ever again.
I tend to dress quite demurely - in my collection of LBDs - and so often find myself drawn to brighter shoes.
I have just discovered Spartoo's online store and have fallen in love with the Bloch pumps:
Aren't the purple ones fabulous?! Just not in my size at the moment. Sad.
I do also love a pair of sensible Audrey Hepburn-esque black pumps and currently have a pair that have been worn almost to their death which I desperately need to replace. So I decided to check out Spartoo's collection:
I think these might be just perfect. And they are a steal at £38.
The brilliant thing about the Spartoo website is that delivery is free! I always hate it when delivery charges are added on and what looked like a bargain is suddenly transformed into a bit of a splurge!
What do you spy that you would treat yourself to?
