They say you never get a second chance to make a first impression. High heels such as those of the brand Jimmy Choo certainly make an eye catching first impression.

But can you walk in them comfortably? And for how long? Even model Naomi Campbell, who must be more conscious than most of how to walk, fell over on the catwalk when wearing a pair of high heels.

Problem
I have shoes which are too high to walk in. Whether for a day out, a day on holiday, I need walking shoes for the day and higher heels for the evening? What can I do?

Answers
1 Shoes which can be prettied up for evening with clip on bows or straps.
2 Shoes which fold up small as spares for travelling home.
3 Shoes with changeable heels.
4 High heeled shoes which claim to have a more comfortable design.
5 Pick pretty flat shoes and sandals.

1 Ebay And Clip Ons
Ebay has a selection of one off second hand shoes, or as some prefer to say, pre-loved.

7 Elegant Sandals In Silver And Gold
www.Hotter.com
They have a catalogue to mail to you, online ordering, and shops in malls such as Intu in Watford High Street, NW London, England. You will periodically get offers of reductions on one pair or if you buy two.
Shoes and sandals with touch and close fastening and pretty colours and also gold, rose, gold, silver or pewter.

When buying silver and gold shoes to match a handbag or other item, silver comes up in at least two shades, a dark and a light shade, and the same goes for gold, which also comes up in rose gold. If you can buy your evening bag and shoes from the same shop to match that's easiest. The alternative is to buy one item, then tour the shops until you get the right shade to match.
