I’ve been looking out for some vintage-style 40s shoes for a while now – something comfortable and suitable for daywear but with a bit more to them than the brogues that are everywhere right now.

I think both these pairs fit the bill well, although the M & S ones may pip the Office ones to the post, as they have a nice granny chic charm. Also, I absolutely swear by shoes from Marks & Spencer. I find that they are always comfortable, they fit wide feet well and they are good quality. I can imagine these shoes looking good with autumnal tea dresses and fishnets or coloured tights.
