like mary jane leather type affairs, or suede/leather brogues....my head has been turned by a few that are around but i was originally looking for sandals....should i be sensible, i can only afford one pair of new shoes this year!

errrrm brogues?! seriously?!

Get some sandals woman!

i sh*t you not i have suddenly become a bit obsessed!

Get us a link....they can't be what i am thinking about

I'm not even sure I know what brogues are

What the fluff are brogues?

hello 1950's, this is 2011 calling.......

Well I thought they were shoes that look like mens shoes kinda like office ones with stitching on the outside?

ahh yes like these

omg I typed brogues into clarks

http://www.clarks.co.uk/find/department-is-women/enduses-is-casual/mcrproductsubtype-is-brogues/product-is-20346713

Is that what you mean?!

Iv something similar to these in black leather from Clarks that I find comfy and practical

eughhhhh brogues defo go 4 sandals!

hahahahahahahaha these are adoooorrrrrrrable http://www.jonesbootmaker.com/main/details/ELLIE_3_Taupe/00130475X42

but yeah i will probably end up with something frumpy and non synthetic or summat

Ewww big fat no to the brogues! Your feet will sweat like a biatch in the summer! Deffo some cute Mary Janes x

Defiantly sandles. Those brogues remind me of 'old man' shoes lol

*Goes to find the reciept for her brogues...*

are they a bit grannyish??? i need some grownup shoes but ones that can take a battering and don't look *too* tidy and grownup

My mum has both of those shoes above Don't get me wrong she's not a frumpy granny - she's quite trendy really..but a granny non the less

I've got some of these in all different colours lol, They are so comfy and versatile. Still girly'ish but casual too
Clarkes- Active air (although they seem to have stopped this particular style now, but there are others)

hahahaha see it isnt just me!!!

oh no zee! i love those ones though, maybe i will have a rake around and see if i can find similar - i know what you mean they look comfy but not quite as 'chunky' and a bit more girly

once upon a time I had some amazing doc marten mary jane's, I wish I still had them

I had to google Brogues (didnt read on far enough at that point to see the pics).

ITS SUMMER!!!!! Get them fishes eating your feet, some sandals on and get your toe nails painted!

x

Yeh those 2 you picked are a bit frumpy!

Zees choice is nice though!

Although they aint brogues or sandals...they are more like pumpy kinda shoes!

I have these http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10001_10001_050010448080_-1?breadcrumb=Home%7Etxt++Mantaray++White+mesh+mix+pumps they are really compfy and a nice half way between sandal and shoe

hmmm well my sandals just can't cut walking for 2-4 hours a day im afraid! i need something comfy and sturdy which is why i always end up in nasty trainers. pumps are def. out cos they aren't supportive enough really and i end up ripping my feet to bits

frumpy indeed....hmph.....maybe i AM frumpy (i know i am )

ahh me too pixel the happy ole days of dr.ms

fashion fail, I went googling for doc martens and it was t-bars I had still super comfy though!

i have some Birkenstocks (frumpalicious) which are immensely comfy but i can't walk for miles in them, clarks leather shoes are always sooooooo comfy but i want zee's ones now and they don't do them!
