comfortable shoes for party

Coconut: the folding shoes are by COCOROSE - they put them in little matching bags so you can put them neatly into your handbag.

I`ve just returned some sparkly wedge heeled sandals to J.D.Williams, they were the wide fit I needed, but the straps wouldn`t fasten around my ugly, fat ankles. On the lookout for some more now.

M and S have some very elegant Mary Janes in suede for £45. They have a kitten heel and are extremely comfortable.

Sounds lovely Yorkshiregirl. Not very keen on Hotter but they do have a nice pair of suede ones with bow detail - maybe the Jewel someone else has mentioned. Next have some fab silver wedges - if only I could wear them!

Is this party at a friend’s house? If so go barefooted.

Gabor have several smart styles with little heels or wedges either of which look good with dresses. They are generally suitable for wider feet which suits me and I have (I think) three pairs, one black, one pewter and the other cream.

Try Good for the Sole shoes at Debenhams. I bought a pair of low heels for a wedding & wore them from 10am through til 3 the next morning in complete comfort.

GrammaH Hotter shoes are not all "frumpy" styles they do some lovely smart styles & are very comfortable. For the last few years I haven't been able to wear heels, I also need a reasonably thick sole due to medical problems, I have several pairs of Hotter shoes.

downdale go for comfort, low heel or flat, I do however agree that anything but black would look great, how about gun metal or red, matching handbag/belt/jewellery.

fuschia pink suede slingbacks with kitten heels

I would love to wear something like that but can't any more.

Sorry but Hotter don't suggest style and smartness to me! I'm afraid I always think they're rather frumpy....Have a look at Mandarina - beautiful, elegant shoes in a range of styles & heel heights - what about fuschia pink suede slingbacks with kitten heels? Fab with a black dress

A small black patent wedge will look lovely, and feel comfortable

Hotter, Hotter and Hotter! (No, I have no connection with the company - just love their comfy and stylish shoes.). I may have said this before on GN, if so I apologise, but it's worth repeating: "uncomfortable shoes will always show on your face!"

Hotter 'Jewel': several colours, very comfortable low heels with nice bow decoration.

I go with Hotter too and there is a Black Friday deal or two!

Second for Hotter - they have a t-bar style (can’t remember the name though) that are really comfortable. Wore them to a wedding and danced the night away and not one blister or sore feet the whole night.

I like to start off with heels, but carry a pair of smart bronze gold slipperettes in my handbag...if the going gets too tough they go with everything. I never wear black shoes with a black dress...so dull... You can wear any colour with black provided you match the handbag to it or if not the handbag...match the earrings or necklace. I notice a lot of celebs wear beige shoes with black dresses. You could also wear bronze or gunmetal silver...the world is your oyster! Depending on the dress, you don't have to wear heels but pair of smart flats.

I love shoes but have problems buying them as I have very narrow feet - AA. The choice is almost non existent, so I find I really have to look after my shoes so that I don't have to go bare foot in the future!

My strongest recommendation would be don't wear new shoes to a party - you need to have worn them in first.
Second, when buying new shoes, only buy them if they are instantly comfortable. Don't think they'll be fine once they've loosened up a bit (I have dozens of pairs that have never loosed up.).
To my surprise I find the comfiest shoes these days in Shoe Zone. If only they were leather...

M&S have a comfortable party range. For completely flat shoes Butterfly Twists have some sparkly ones which I’ve just bought.

Kitten heels.

I don’t believe in party shoes. I wore flat silver sandals from Primark for a wedding this summer. They even did a bag to match. Have you thought about going on-trend and wearing boots with your dress?

Wedges are the best ! I did read an article the other day, think it was in the Mail, re some heeled shoes that have just been made, where you can actually fold the heel away so they turn into flats when your feet have had enough !

Try Ecco or Hotter. Both have smart shoes and pride themselves on comfort. I bought a pair of black Ecco courts and they've been comfortable from the first wear. A bit more expensive than some high street options but, in my opinion, worth it.

Have a look for a block heel they are more comfy than a slim heel . I have a pair of black patent low block heels with an ankle strap that I got from Marisota and pretty cheap too and they do look nice with a dress . I have a similar pair in a nude colour too but can't remember where I got those and then a pair of Clarke in a blush coloured soft leather.

glammanana - aren't they gorgeous and at what a great price.
