Any ideas for the next ubiquitous shoe, somerthing that doesn't wreck our feet?

    Ballet flats have been a fashion stalwart since 2003-ish on these shores.

    Yeah, they look super cute but in ways, they're no better for our feet, backs and posture than sky-high stilettos.

    They cause us to "claw" our toes and don't tend to have arch supports, and have non-existent heels. Also, for the short lady, like myself, they can make us even more squat.

    They are also impractical in that your feet can get soaked quite quickly in them.

    I guess boots are also a stalwart during the winter and they are infinitely more sensible, whilst also being stylish.

    But what kind of shoe could take over from ballet flats? It would need to have a least a small heel, but low heeled shoes can look quite frumpy.

    I know other shoes styles, such as brogues, have come alone. Personally, I like brogues, but they are still quite niche.

    Any ideas? :)
