Love this! Had followed your blog for a long time but after reading this post I had to comment, as I have the same issue as I’m a tall girl and can’t manage to wear the 4inch heels now I’m 40 and my health is not the best and years ago I used to admire the shoes LK Bennett had but they all seemed too high, so these are perfect, and have they have the black pair left in my size! Perfect height to look stylish without being in agony!

Thank you, Ruth! I wish you and your family a lovely Christmas!xx

I had some snakeskin Ferns back in the day and I wish I'd kept them as my teenage girls would die for them now. I sold them when it got to the point that my feet hurt just looking at them. I am tempted by some Florets though as I could really do with something like that in my 'smart section'. Where my Funeral Dress TM also lives. Another essential you need to bring out occasionally but never needs replacing.

Really entertaining read! I think the Bloody Hell woman inner monologue is all of us past our twenties lol

I had a pair of these exact shoes in the taller style from my modelling days in about 2011. At the time, I decided on a beige suede pair but I dyed them black (don’t recommend..kind of look green now). I have a random memory of wearing them in a fashion week casting and one shoe flew off my foot lol. On the other hand, for other occasions that do not entail strutting at speed (!) they are very well made with a solid heel !

I can just about totter in a kitten heel and some little studded boots from awake and John Lewis are my out out shoes so I’ll admire yours from afar ! They do look great and the brown colours so flattering !

I can’t believe they were the one colour that was half price! It’s the best one!

I remember reading a post you did about Fern years ago and thinking "bloody hell! I can't walk in those!" (I am just under 40 now) so bought Floret instead. No regrets. One of my most worn pairs, but I only have in one colour...

Hahaha! I was looking back through shoe posts last night (surprising number of them actually) and thinking how the actual hell did I ever stand in some of them…
