I'm not really normally one for fashion, but i do always "worry" what the fashion will be for shoes in the next season.

At 5"10' i cant really affors to wear heels without dwalfing everyone i see, so does anyone have any ideas if they are goin to be in fashion this summer? Isn't it time that flats were in?!?

o well

It can be really annoying being tall though, cause i tower over all my friends and stand out so much in a crowd. I always like the idea of weraing heels with jeans, but adding another few inchs onto my legs is a no no! I guess your never happy with what you've got, you just have to work with it.

Another thing, everytime i do go to buy some flats (much as i hate it) they are always really clumpy, with wooden soles. My feet are around a size 7, so it doesn't exactly do anything to make them seem smaller! Do you know anywhere where u can get fashionable shoes that a tall, thin person with giant feet could wear?

I guess thats asking too much......

I've got size 6 feet and am only 5"3!!!!

I think wedgies are in fashion at the moment, well there seams to be lots in the shops, but also with the boho look there seams to be lots of funky flip flops or jewled slippers. Im no expert but I hope this helps.

Faith is always good for largers sizes I think they go up to a size 8

I'm 5"8 and have size 8 feet (yes I know they're huge!).

I know i'm not as tall as u but i wear heels anyway - makes me taller that my boyfriend but sometimes they are the only shoes that suite the outfit. I also love wearing flipflops in the summer - i find that they don't make my feet look too big like some flat shoes can.

Faith go up to a size 9 now. I find it annoying that womens trainers only go up to a size 7 - i have to wear mens trainers (luckily they aren't too much different!)

I'm 5ft 11 myself and i love the idea of heels aswell but unless i want to feel like the bfg i tend to stay away ... I kinda make a compromise with kitten heels and i love flat pomps ... They go with everything ...

Jade

Primark are really good, every thing is so cheap! All my mates shop at these surf shops like Hargreaves but it's so expensive so i just get a few selective designer things and team them with cheap bargins!!

Jade
27-04-2005, 18:24
I tend to do that, buy more expensive trousers/skirts and team them with bargin tops although I do love diesel T-Shirts!

me too! I am such an ebay junkie. i bought some amazing beaded khussa which look amazing with gypsy skirts and are apparently gonna be the next big thing this summer, so i'd get bidding now before they go for too much! I got mine for just £9.65 (incp&P and recorded delivery!). Bargain!

They are beaded and decorated indian shoes, to be worn with gypsy skirts. Just look in mags like Closer or Now and you'll see them!
