Can you help me find some shoes?

I am currently signed off work and not able to walk very well. The problem lies in my right foot and I can't wear heels.

I have a special occasion to go to and am really struggling trying to find something to wear without paying a lot of money.

I don't own a flat pair of shoes (other than work, trainers and walking boots).

I do have dresses but very much party dresses that trainers and walking boots would't go with :rotfl:

If I wore jeans and got a dressy top, my trainers wouldn't give me sufficient height so my jeans would be around 2 in too long.

I am only 5ft 1in and so like height when I'm out. I was looking at platform shoes (not a wedge but a shoe with a raised flat sole), however I can't really find anything. I thought I could then team with with a long wide legged playsuit?

Any thoughts and suggestions please as I'm struggling to find something.
Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....

    I bought my weddin shoes at Schuh on a shoestring on ebay. There may be something suitable on there?

  • What about nice knee length boots that have a flat/low heel?

    I'm liking that idea, plus it's coming to wet horrid weather and so I can use them then.

    This forum is great :T
