    Just wondering if anyone knows where i could get really nice flat shoes that i could wear on a night out. I suffer with a condition and have to stop wearing high heels :(
    So something that would go with jeans but not casual looking.If anyone has any other suggestions apart from flat shoes that would be great thanks.

    I have seen some lovely flat shoes in Dune and Office recently. These would be great with jeans, trousers or skirts.

    I also suffer from something like this, so just a word of advice; be very careful wearing the flat shoes as they have no arch support in them, they helped worsen my condition :(

    That's exactly the shoe I was going to mention. I find heels almost unbearable due to a hereditary weird foot thing (she says after just buying 4 inch hot pink ones) so I mainly wear flats on nights out, I get lots in Penneys, Dunnes, and the odd nice kitten heel like above, great for when you want something just that bit dressier. I got a fab pair of black flats with a zip up the back and chains/leather straps around the ankles for €9 in Penneys, can't go wrong!

    A silly tip that I have noticed about my own flats, go for ones with a less rounded toe if it's for nights out etc, ones with the slightest point to them, because sometimes I find there can something quite childish looking about round toe ones, especially when you're wearing a nice dress and want to look sophisticated :)

    Thanks but its to do with muscle in my legs so flats are ok.

    I like the idea of the kitten heels and they are different il pay a visit to schuh thanks

    Have you looked at French Sole? http://frenchsole.com/

    Some kooky styles but some lovely classics too.

    Check out topshop, or urban outfitters. Now the shoes may be expensive but they are pretty and last well.

    I got a gorgeous pair of flats recently in topshop for like 16e on sale. :)http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=69778711&postcount=3610

    They have loads of really pretty and good quality flats in Clarks. I bought a pair black leather ones, with a little bow, about 4 years ago and they're still going strong.

    Their site, for more options: http://www.clarks.co.uk/find/department-is-women/mcrproductsubtype-is-pumps/pgs-is-100

    Nine West (stocked in some shops on Grafton Street, incl BT2 I *think*) and Aldo (Henry Street) do lovely flats.

    I second Clarks heartily!

    House of Fraser have nice ones if you want to spend money on them (like some are 100). I got some nice ones in Dune and also Accessorize. I pretty much exclusively wear flats cos of bunion :(
