    I can see the attraction but I'd break my ankle! That's if I could get them on over the bl**dy bunion that came from goodness knows where.

    I seriously need some new smart shoes but I haven't a clue where, what or how much. I've had a lovely comfortable pair of eccos for years having found a cobbler who'll repair these "non repairable shoes". But they won't hold out much longer.

    Ladies I think we have identified a gap in the market. There is a definite opportunity for a purveyor of "Sexy comfy shoes capable of accommodating bunions and giving the allusion of height".

    Although the only place I go where such shoes could be worn is work and I am not sure what the point of wearing them there would be.

    Can't compete on sexiness but Santa did bring me THESE from Jones the Bootmaker :)

    Do expensive shoes last longer? I have one pair of more expensive boots and so far they are lasting well but they are only 11 months old (look brand new though), I've always bought cheaper shoes but starting to wonder if they are a false economy

    I LOVE shoes, and truely cherish the one pair of Jimmy Choo's I own - I bought them for myself when I graduated (promised at matriculation I would, and I did) They are basic black court shoes and I plan to wear them at my own funeral!!

    Hypno, the boots you got didn't come in brown so I was able to resist but did try the black ones on and you were so right, super slim calves :)

    Gemmzie, I do think expensive shoes last longer, I have thrown out many cheap pairs but the few good ones I own still look great!

    Ah yes, there's nothing like shoe shopping..... Even when clothes don't fit - shoes always do!

    I also love perusing the Mac eyeshadow counter too - glitter-tastic :D
    I only wear MAC eyeshadow. I love it too much to wear anything else. My shoe !!!!!! of choice is almost anything by Irregular Choice :D

    Gally - those boots are lovely - I would happily own a pair of those!

    Gemmz. when I have fabby shoes I look after them more, so they last longer - for some reason cheap shoes never get repaired when they need to be, and just generally get tattier quicker, so I end up either wearing tatty shoes, or throwing them out.
