Flat shoes have often been seen as a fashion no-no by trend-setters and celebrities alike. An example? Victoria Beckham famously claimed she never goes to the gym because she can’t cope with the thought of having to wear flatties. But – shock, horror – even Mrs B’s been seen out in a pair of flat pumps recently.

A cupboard full of high heels may be all well and good, but every girl needs at least one pair of flat shoes – and not just because of the comfort factor. In fact – whisper it! – the latest crop of fabulous flatties can look über-glamorous too, making them the perfect alternative footwear for parties, shopping trips and work.

Ballet pumps are still very much in vogue, as seen on the Chanel catwalk and worn by the likes of Katie Holmes, Kate Moss and tabloid regular Amy Winehouse. They’re great for nights out and shopping trips, but be warned: lack of support in the soles means your feet may start to hurt if you’re pounding the pavements for more than a couple of hours.

If you just want a basic, go-with-anything shoe, buy a pair of ballet pumps in black – or for a more eye-catching evening look, try New Look for their gorgeous red satin pumps with its cute bow (£15; www.newlook.co.uk).

Other fabulous flats that are all the rage right now include this season’s must-have gladiator sandals: we’re currently obsessed with Moda in Pelle’s ridiculously comfortable Octopus pair (£50; www.modainpelle.com). And, of course, there’s always the good old reliable baseball pump, as worn by Agyness Deyn.

But if you really can’t bear to go out on the town without your heels, it’s still a good idea to invest in a pair of Red Foot Revolution’s after-party shoes (£25; www.redfootrevolution.co.uk). These unique folding pumps come in a variety of colours and designs: just pop a pair into your handbag then slip them on when your feet are in need of some TLC. Genius!

Killer Shoes and How to Avoid The Pain

Killer Shoes and How to Avoid The Pain – Celebrity

Lovers Read On

R

ecent research revealed a scary statistic that over 70% of us ladies end up going home early from a night out because our shoes are hurting too much.

It is not just us who suffer from these wardrobe malfunctions though; even the celebrities have been affected.

When Dolcis was forced to make a £7k payout to a student who sued because her heel snapped, we are sure that we’re not the only ones reaching for the Yellow Pages to find a “no-win, no-fee” solicitor to take on our case about the time our feet were forced to bleed by a new pair of shoes.

Just as the office was about to get all Judge-Judy on the shoe manufacturers a message popped into our inbox from those lovely people at RedfootRevolutions about their After Party Shoes.

I am going to let you into a secret now; these shoes really are a revolution! The basic premise is that they fold up and fit easily inside your bag. Then after a hectic day in the office or a busy night strutting on the dance floor you slip on these comfy little shoes and protect your tootsies from any more suffering.

The shoes cost just £25.00 and are so ‘must-have’ that the head of the Beddingfield Clan herself, Natasha

The need for After Party Shoes is even more evident when looking at research the company commissioned into how many women have had to cut short their night out due to the pain caused by their shoes. No less than 70% of women asked, said they had been forced home by their rogue heels.

It is not just us mere mortals who suffer from dodgy shoes though; many a celebrity style icon has been tripped up, quite literally by inappropriate footwear.

has got a pair and was papped switching into them outside a top London nightclub.

A poor innocent model at the 2006 Paris Fashion Week fell over not once, but twice as a result of her high heels, and who can forget the time the queen of mobile phone throwing and celebrity tantrums, Naomi Campbell, went head over heels on the catwalk during the Vivienne Westwood exhibition?

Putting the falling-over models to one side, the other great thing about the After Party Shoes is that female office workers will no longer have to put up with snide comments from male co-workers when they arrive at the office in their trainers.

Not sure about you but I could quite happily assault the next guy who dares to comment on the fact I have chosen to travel to the office in trainers rather than the razor blade high heels.

Caroline Monk – Celebrity Fashion Q&A

aroline Monk is a television personality with a really eye catching sense of style and fashion.
She took some time out to talk to us about her opinions on fashion and took part in our Celebrity Fashion Q&A.

Caroline is currently working with Redfoot Revolution, home of the ingenious ‘After Party Shoe’ – to raise money for breast cancer charity The Pink Ribbon Foundation.

What was the first designer item you bought and how much did it cost?

I bought a Moschino jacket back in the early 90’s it was a hundred quid I think. I still have it and it’s mad. Bright yellow with huge red numbers all over it. It sounds hideous but I love it. In fact I’m going to wear it tonight to Jade Goody’s perfume launch!

What one item of clothing could you not live without?

I guess it would be my Elvis leather jacket. I got it in Graceland a few years ago and it cost a fortune. It is a proper biker jacket and on the back is an embroidery of Elvis in his hey day. It sounds naff but it’s actually really cool. I work with a lot of bands and they have all offered me money for it. No chance!!

Who are your current favourite designers?

I don’t really have one as I like bits of them all. I wear what I like more than who the designer is. I like anything that is a bit bling. Lots of diamonds and sequins are my thing. My wardrobe looks like a drag queens dressing room.

What is your favourite high street store?

I love Whistles and Karen Millen. Well I love their sales. You can really get a fab bargain. Their clothes are well made and very stylish and not too trendy so you can wear them for different seasons.

How would you class your own fashion style?

I think accessories are the key to looking great. As long as you have a fab pair of shoes, a little designer handbag and very cool sunglasses you can’t lose. I also love dresses, especially 1950’s circle style.

They make your figure look great as they hide your tummy and nip in your waist. I have quite a few and always wear then on my ‘feeling fat’ days. Men love them too as they are very feminine. I love the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s style and would wear anything from these times.

Finally, do you have a fashion statement that you live by?

Be yourself, express yourself, be as glamorous as you can and never care what others think.

Red-hot footwear: beauty without the pain

Hearld.ie review Redfoot APS

Lorna Nolan models the commuter shoes.

At long last, a pair of shoes that really were made for walking.

One of the hottest new products to hit the shoe market, at only €35 a pair, the Redfoot APS shoes are flying off the shelves.

Dubbed the ‘commuter shoe,’ because they’re so easy to carry in the handbag and the ‘After Party Shoe’ because they’re so handy for when the high heels come off, the pairs are now available to buy in Ireland rather than just online.

Currently stocked by only two stores in the country — The Shoehorn in Skerries and Bienvenue in Mullingar — the shoes have proved popular with women of all ages.

Spokesperson for the Redfoot brand Kerry Chessman said: “We’re actually in advanced negotiations with Arnotts at the moment so they should be on sale there in the next few months.”

A huge hit with celebs including Corrie’s Michelle, better known as Kym Ryder and her former Hearsay bandmate Suzanne Shaw, these shoes are a must-have for any fashionista fed up with the price of beauty being pain.
