    The 10% code works too, so they become £15.75 - and you get free supersaver delivery too! Buyit all, did you try them on in House of Fraser? Are they a better fit than the Delicious ones? Just wondering which size to order - think I'm going to go for black as they'll look great with opaques and you can never have too many black shoes........well, I can't anyway!

    I really don't know what to say about the sizing any more - I tried them on in both sizes (37 and 38) and there was hardly any difference!The SA said that the smaller size were a better fit. The fact that there is a strap on these made them seem more comfortable than the Delicious ones. I think I will go with the black ones too. BTW, as they are £20 - how does the 10% off make them £15.75? Or do you mean the Delicious ones??
    I also tried on the Daf shoes today, and if they come down from £30 to £20 I will definitely get them as they are not so high and I think I would get a lot of wear out of them whereas the Delicious and Dangerous ones I would only wear in the evenings. Sorry for rambling .....decisions, decisions......

    Sorry, only just realised they had been reduced again. I have ordered the black Dangerous shoes. The Daf shoes have also been reduced from £30 to £17.50 but they only have size 3 left in the black and I don't like the grey. Will keep checking...

I give up I have ordered a pair of the dangerous shoes, bloomin heck the heels look dangerous. £15 bargain. Thanks girlies glad I am now one of the team!

    Well that's a decision you don't have to make then, which is good if they don't have them in your size..... I am going to go for the Black Dangerous ones. Honestly, I think I've never spent so much money since joining MSE.........isn't the point to try and save it! Oops! :rotfl:
  • I did buy these and they are nice, but does anyone else think that £70 or £50 for what is essentially a pair of plastic shoes is way overpriced? At £15-20 i think they are fairly priced actually, but they are pretty cheap shoes. Stamping a respected brand name on them doesn't automatically make them worth that much ££. Just my musings on the matter...:rolleyes:

    I agree bob, I'm amazed these aren't leather. I would never in a million years pay full rrp for these.

  • I would never buy them at full price, leather or no leather!
  • Well I finally gave in - Delicious pink size 8 was back in stock. Whether they will fit though... fingers crossed. I tried the 7 in John Lewis which were too small, hope the 8's are a good size bigger!

    Any ideas where I can get a matching bag for the pink shoes?

    Found a bag in Debenhams that will go with the pink shoes. Not sure if the colour is an exact match but for a tenner it's close enough. :Dhttp://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10001_10001_63323_753501_-1
