New shoes

I bought these shoes today!
Not a big thing in itself really but for me a big step as they are Hotter shoes!
I have always said I would never be seen dead in a Hotter shop as I class them as old women's shoes!
Had to change my views today as I liked these flat half patent shoes & so comfortable!
I have been having trouble with my feet & the fit of certain more dressed up shoes like a high heel since I broke my ankle last year.
In desperation I ventured into the Hotter shop & came out with these, a bargain at £30!
Look ok with skinny trousers!
I have had to eat humble pie to certain people!

Three good things:
1. I found a new edit programme to make a collage.
2. Humble pie!
3. All clear from the dentist this morning!

These shoes look very comfortable.
#1. Would you be so kind as to share your new edit programme?

Look great and good for travelling. Good collage

@gijsje It's called PsExpress Bep. I could never get a collage to work or me since I couldn't get Snapsead but this one was easy for the collage thing!

@gijsje adobe!

They look very sensible and comfortable. :)

@coffeequeen I know Gail, boring aren't they but so comfortable! Sensible is not good!
January 17th, 2017  
I know what you mean Pat but comfort overrides everything :)

@happypat I'm all for comfortable and sensibility when it comes to shoes. You won't find me in a silly pair of stilettos. ;-)
January 17th, 2017  
I have to admit I do own a pair. I keep them in the caravan though !... but they sooo comfy.
January 17th, 2017  
@brennieb Caravan shoes, I like that! You will no doubt see these at the DD!
January 17th, 2017  
@pinkpaintpot yes I have found that out lately! I have no problem with boots but more dressy ones has been a struggle!
January 17th, 2017  
@julzmaioro No these are for night time with black dressed up stuff! I have my trusty leather loafers for travel. Bought from a very nice NZ chain of shops which I can't remember the name of!

They are cute!! Nice collage!
January 17th, 2017  
These look smart Pat. Perhaps I should venture over the threshold of the Hotter shop!
January 17th, 2017  
@thistle Yes it's worth a look Joyce, sound like you feel like I do!!
January 17th, 2017  
@kwind I like the sound of cute Kim! Not a brand you would know but generally thought of here as the older woman's shoe which to be truthful I am in theory if not in mind!
January 17th, 2017  
Pat , in my world comfy comes first , and both pairs look comfortable -- nothing worse than uncomfortable feet !!

@happypat
Thanks!

@beryl All the same pair Beryl, I didn't go mad, just the one buy!
January 17th, 2017  
I only wear Hotter shoes and sandals and have done for several years. They do have some very nice styles, and as I have broad feet, they're the only shoes I can wear in comfort
January 17th, 2017  
Nice looking shoes and fun story
January 17th, 2017  
Pat, those are adorable...not the least bit old ladyish. I'm all about comfort. I refuse to let an uncomfortable pair of shoes ruin my day. :)
January 17th, 2017  
They look very stylish and very comfortable. A rare combination.
January 17th, 2017  
Since I broke my leg comfy shoes are a must. Heels are out! I am a fan of brogues. Apparently Twiggy has lots of them so that will do for me! They look really comfy.
January 17th, 2017  
@chris17 I have two pairs of brogues & they are so comfy Christine but it's the dressing up bit I'm struggling with so hopefully these will look smart enough when I'm out in the evening!
January 17th, 2017  
@peggysirk Thanks Peggy, they are rather smart pumps, wasn't sure about the white soles tomstart with but that seems to be on trend at the moment!
January 17th, 2017  
They actually look as comfy as slippers but being glossy like this would be acceptable in front of the Queen! Easy to slip off and on too! Hope they have enough instep support for all that walking up and down in big airports!
January 17th, 2017  
They look comfy. I have to have comfy shoes these days. Since I fractured my ankle I now have one ankle fatter than the other. Luckily I can wear sandals most of the year instead of shoes, but shoes are more difficult with one foot fatter than the other.
January 18th, 2017  
@maggiemae Oh I shan't be wearing these in the airport maggie, I have my soft leather NZ ones for travelling. I don't even expect I will bring them to NZ, sandals & the NZ ones will be the order of the day, plus walking shoes too of course!
January 18th, 2017  
@onewing Same here Babs, my left foot is definitely wider than my right! Makes shoe buying a problem as that us my bigger foot anyway!
January 18th, 2017  
@happypat David has had problems with shoes since he ruptured his Achilles tendon last year too
January 18th, 2017  
It's been a big step for me to give up heels, so i feel for you. These look very comfortable and it sure pays to keep your feet happy.
January 18th, 2017  
I really like them Pat and as you say they will look good with the trusty black pants. I'm all for comfort shoes too and live in my old faithful Birkenstock sandals during Summer. Seems we can by Hotter shoes here in Aus on line but I really need to try shoes on before I buy
January 18th, 2017  
I would love to be wearing those shoes at the moment, Pat - but, alas - am stuck in winter boots for now. Sigh!
They look classy and wonderfully comfortable!
January 19th, 2017  
Ha ha that made me laugh! You're lucky you've lasted so long in proper shoes! I've only recently noticed issues with my feet (burgeoning bunion) but I've had to wear 'sensible' shoes all my life as they're so short and wide! These are very nice!
January 20th, 2017  
@boxplayer I've been back & bought two more pairs, going to chuck out all the shoes I have under the bed that I haven't worn for years but always hopeful that I could! Reality check!
January 20th, 2017  
@cruiser They have an inner sole Chris that you can take out, ideal for me that has one foot bigger than the other! Some of them are very old fashioned but if you pick out a more modern style they are bliss!
January 20th, 2017  
@farmreporter Ah if only I could live in boots all year I would be so happy Wendy!
January 20th, 2017  
@teiko It is a big step I agree but luckily flats are so popular at the moment it's easier. I went back to the shop & bought two more pairs, a flat pair fir everyday & a black very plain pair with a higher heel for dressed up days.
