Because it can’t be ALL heels, ALL the time (just most of the time), here’s a little something for those of you who like your shoes a little more causal/comfortable.
As anyone who knows me will tell you, I’m very much a “sneakers are only for the gym” kinda girl, but if I absolutely had to wear a pair for non-exercise purposes, a classic pair of Converse isn’t a bad place to start. The fact that these ones are covered in sequins is just an added bonus as far as I’m concerned!

You know, readers, fashions and tastes may change, and I’d be the first to admit that I like lots of things now that I probably couldn’t even have imagined wanting to wear a few years ago, but in all of my shoe-buying years, there is one mantra I’ve never changed my mind about. It’s this: sneakers should not have heels. Ever.
This possibly seems a bit rich coming from someone who tends to think that most shoes could be improved with the addition of a bit of a heel, but nope: sneakers should not have heels. It goes so much against the grain that I just can’t bring myself to accept it – and I don’t think it looks good, either. Buy heels, or buy sneakers (if you absolutely must), but never the twain should meet as far as I’m concerned.
Of course, that’s just me, and that’s why I’m not even remotely tempted by these heeled trainers from New Look. Are you, though? If you are, you can buy yourself a pair here, for £30: they’re also available in black, too.

The Fashion Police have already noted with horror the fact that EVERYTHING in fashion has to be ripped or laddered at the moment, whether it be a pair of jeans, a dress, or leggings. But now that trend has extended itself to shoes, with these classic Converse being the latest items to be subjected to the shredder. All I can really say to this is: WHY? OK, I’m not a sneaker fan, but Converse are pretty inoffensive, so why on earth would anyone want to do THIS to them? It doesn’t look “edgy” or alternative to me, it just looks a bit… well, odd.
What’s even more odd? Free People are charging $128 to those who want to buy these pre-ripped. For a much cheaper alternative, just take the scissors to an old pair…

There is one truth about shoes that I have always held to be self-evident: that sneakers/trainers/plimsolls/whatever should not have heels. Ever.
But then, this weekend I found myself popping back into Matalan (no, I can’t seem to stay away) for those cute little red slingbacks I tried on a couple of weeks ago. “Hey!” said Shoeperman as I paraded them around the house later. “Those look a bit like trainers. With heels.”
(No, I did not buy the orange Louboutin-alikes. But only because they didn’t have them in my size.)
And I had to concede, Shoeperman had a point. Then, this morning I found these Killah heels on the ASOS website, and despite them falling into the category of “sneakers with heels”, I realised that I didn’t totally hate them either.
I put it to you then, readers: what do you think of these shoes? Are they shoeperheros or are they shoepervillains?
BUY: Killah lace-front heeled shoes, £55
