Spring is almost here and we can start thinking about wearing sandals here in Holland. I hate wearing shoes that hurt my feet and it would seem most fashionable shoes double up as instruments of torture. It has been my ongoing mission to find fashionable, attractive shoes that don’t hurt. Some shoe companies are catching on. Clarks has a great collection this coming season. I bought some Clarks shoes last summer and I loved them so much I could have married them (though my fiance wasn’t too impressed when I said this). They are beautiful and it’s like walking on air when I wear them. Anyway this spring strappy sandals are back in and I’m hoping these sandals are as comfortable as they are beautiful.

Not everyone has nice thin ankles. With the right shoes you disguise this horrible secret. The most important rule is buy some nice boots. Big heels are your friend. The latest wedge trend suits you perfectly.

Wear:

• Flared trousers with high heels
• A-line skirt to the knee
• Open toed sandals with chunky heels
• Wedge heel
• Pull on boots that are tight around the ankles

Avoid:

• Trousers cropped at the ankle
• Tapered trousers
• 3-4 length leggings
• Calf length skirt
• Ankle strap shoes
• Kitten heel mule
• Ankle boots
• Calf length boots
