Shame on me. All this fuss about Giles for New Look, Kate Moss for Topshop etc. made me overlook a much more and interesting designer high street collaboration. I was really excited when I saw that Georgina Goodman, one of my favourite shoe designers was doing a collection for the UK plus size store Evans. However, when the initial fall 06 collection came out, I was a little disappointed – too much Evans, not enough Georgina Goodman. Clearly though my doubts were not a concern since the collection was so successful, Goodman was asked to do a spring summer collection too. To my delight, the s/s07 stuff positively screams Georgina Goodman. The black wooden striped heels, the cone shapes, the contrast of textures albeit on a less luxurious scale (Goodman is famed for her unusual combination of reptile skins). A selection is available online to UK peeps but bear in mind, Evans is a plus size store so the shoes are made for the slightly wider feet. Pah! As if that’s going to stop me. I may not have particularly wide feet but it’s nothing some chunky socks and tights won’t solve. Actually the slightly mish-mash quality of the shoes means, I’d probably be more inclined to wear them with some geek-out knee high ribbed socks and perhaps some mixed pattern outfits that Ugly Betty would be proud of.
ui. they come in larger sizes. That’s great. Please let me know how much wider they are. I’m totally interessted. Maybe I’ll have to take advance of you little miss ups service for once

m.
the shoes look really good!
what’s the price range??
*gasp*
they are all utterly gorgeous!!
do you know what kind of price? might have to be cracking open the thick socks again..!
Oh wow! Thanks for that. I have just broken my self-imposed high street ban and bought the denium spot ones. techinically because they are Georgina Goodman they are designer. hopefully they are not too wide!
OMG i love these shoes!!!!!
If you buy them a size down they should fit non wide feet fine. Thats what I did. I have the gold heels. Beware though the gold has faded.
OH MY GOD MUST HAVE!
I just received my two pairs in the mail today and my usual size 5 fit just perfectly. I couldn’t have gone down a size, so I’d say the fit is fine! Wish they still had the orange ones in my size now…
