    They were 90 quid, the Corin style. It's expensive but my DM boots have all lasted over 5 years so if I get the same from these I'll consider it money well spent. After all I've spent 75 pounds on 3 pairs of work shoes in under a year recently!
    Public appearances now involve clothing. Sorry, it's part of my bail conditions.

    Hotter - they really aren't cheap, but they're fantastic shoes and last really well. The do some pretty good reductions in their 'last chance' section too. When I was working in catering, they really were all that I wore. Also in my experience they have really great customer service.


    ive just bought my 1st pair from them and although they arent cheap they are the most comfy shoes ive ever had !
    they also had an offer of a free small bag.

    dont forget to go via quidco !

    if you sign up for the hotter newsletter you get an additional 10% off too. Takes a few mins to come through once you sign up though, I was too impatient and missed out :( but still got quidco and the free bag :)

    Do you have any local independent shoe shops near you? There is one near me called Sole Lution,, get it? :rotfl: that really is the name!

    Anyway, I bought a pair of mary jane style black shoes with cuban heel (not high but feels like you have a bit of a heel). The brand was Pikolinos, it is a Spanish brand, They make lovely shoes, slightly expensive but I got mine heavily reduced in the sales. If not look online for this brand if you don't have a shop near you.. a lot of online shoe sites have free returns so if they don't fit you dont lose out when returning! Javari comes to mind, there are many more i'm sure!

    Pikolinos is good, maybe also Hush Puppies?

    Hope that helps a bit :)
