I keep a pair of flats in the car to wear when driving, never tried in heels, but always thought it was dangerous. Iam not a good driver anway

I know that feeling, i had a favorite pair of heels, very similar to yours but black patent. I wore them everywhere for work, looked smart and were really comfy. They were leather soled and one day on the way to work I stood in a puddle and the sole just complete went, there was nothing left. I took them to my friendly shoe repair place for new soles, but they never felt the same again, i have moved onto another fav pair now!!!

A group of friends and I went to an 80’s roller disco on Saturday night. We get there early, it was freezing outside and our outfits didn’t help. As it was an 80’s theme, we had got our costumes from ebay and local charity shops. We were all decked out in tutu’s and spandex trousers, bright coloured ankle socks and vest tops, gloves and ballet pumps.

I had managed to half rip the bottom off of my ballet pumps walking from the station in the dim light from the street lights and my friend Claire had walked straight though a puddle in the dark and soaked hers. We were glad to hand them in at the boot exchange for some dry roller boots, handing our plastic white ebay jackets into the cloakroom, we had bought 80’s slingbag’s so we kept them with us.

We spent the majority of the night skating round with other dressed in the suitable outfits. At around 12 o’clock we decided to go onto a club. Our friends had left 30min early to get an earlier train, but as we were staying at Claire’s house which was local we decided to stay later.

The queue for the boot return was now really long, we skated to the end and waited in line, the line was moving really slowly and we both removed our boots and waited. The odd person got dangerously close to our feet. As we waited two girl walked up behind, as they were wearing shoes they had obviously just arrived.

“Look at this queue, we are going to be here for sooo long” one of the girls gestured to her friend.

They stood there for another couple of moments, the queue didn’t move, then I felt a tap on my shoulder

“Excuse me, what shoe size are you and your friend” the girl pointed to our feet

“We are both 6” i replied with a puzzled look

“Perfect, well if we gave you £30 would you mind, swapping shoes with us, if you give us a wave when you get near the front of the queue we could then swap back, otherwise we aren’t going to get a chance to skate” she looked pleading at us.

With the floor being cold and the chance of some protection for our feet from the other skaters we agreed

“As long as we can wear your shoes” I asked

“Sure, of course you can” the girls both replied.

The girl nearest me, pulled up her bright green knee socks and unzipped her knee high boots handing them to me, i stuffed my feet into the still warm boots and zipped them up, pulling my pink knee high socks over the top they looked just like shoes, but they kept my legs allot warmer. Claire had the other girl’s shoe’s on, whilst the girl was pulling on Claire’s socks and putting on the roller boots.

“Thanks very much “ they both called, about to skate off

“You will need these” I called handing them our tickets

“they match the boots else you won’t get on the skating rink”

“thanks, here you better take these”

she handed me their tickets, unlike ours they were gold with VIP written on them. Within seconds they were gone.

“Well that’s better”

I called turning to Claire

“my feet are much warmer”

The waited in line the queue just didn’t seem to move, there was a guy walking down the line talking to people and stopped when he got to us.

“Hi ladies, I am really sorry, but you are going to be too late to skate, we have already passed the last admission and our license states we have to stop now, can i please see your tickets”

I handed him the tickets

“I will be back in one moment”

I looked across the skating rink the two girl were nowhere in sight, the guy returned with two coats and two handbags

“I’m really sorry, I have collected your coats and bags from the cloakroom and have four free tickets for entrance, I’m really sorry again, I can only apologise”

He then held open a long black leather jacket

“Madam your coat”

I slipped one arm then the other into the jacket, her then buttoned it for me, he then handed me a bag. He then held open a shorter flying jacket style brown leather jacket for Claire

“madam”

Claire put it on and he then handed her a bag.

He lead us to a different side entrance

“Let me get you a cab on us to apologise further” he then ushered out of the door and into an awaiting car.

“Scarla, please”

Claire called to the driver and we left, as we pulled out the entrance we both started laughing.

Deff Jimmy Choo's, i have a few gina, dolce and gucci, but most of mine are Jimmy's and I swear by them.

I borrowed my friends zara heels, very comfy, but she had worn them loads, but they stood up to a heavy night on the town.

Thats what ballet, dance and alot of walking/dancing in heels does to your legs. I must admit i do sometimes have trouble getting into boots. Skinny jeans in normal knee high Jimmy Choo's is impossible, and I dont have particularly large calfs, but i did alot of dance/ballet/sport as a kid.

I went with my friend (Mel) and her daughter (Claire) to Claire’s Achievement Evening; it is an award ceremony at her school, where they give prizes to the highest achieving students. Claire had been award a prize for English for her previous year at school, and as her God parent she asked me to come along. I met them at the School straight from work.

Walking up the school drive it took me back to my school days, as I arrived I spotted Claire on the steps in front of the school

“Hi, how’s it going” giving Claire a hug “Not so very well” Claire replied walking slowly with me into the school.

Quickly scanning the room I looked back to Claire “why what’s wrong” Claire turned to look at me “Well, no one told me, it was no school uniform, now I have to go on stage to collect my prize being the only one in uniform” we carried on walking through the school together.

As we neared the school hall i turned “How long have we got till this thing starts” I asked Claire “five minutes if that” she replied “you really should be sitting down, I think moms sitting near the back somewhere” I looked into the hall, there were parent sitting on the left and all the students were on the right, near the back I could make out Mel sat near the end of a row. I looked at Claire “Is there a toilet nearby” i asked, “sure” and she turned and lead me to a door with ladies written on it “come on, we don’t have long”

Inside the toilet, i locked the door “Right, off with that uniform you” Claire looked blankly back “well do you want my suit or not” Claire didn’t need to respond, she was out of her uniform, before I had even removed my suit. Pulling on her clothes, it reminded me off my school days, a very long time ago. As I turned she was already dressed and was slipping her feet into my pointy black patent Jimmy Choo stiletto half boots “I don’t know if you should wear those” pointing to my boots “it will be fine, i have worn heels before” i looked at her walking across the toilet “well okay, but you will need the these and I handed her my tights. She removed my boots and handed me her black tights, carefully pulling on my tan ones. I pulled on her black tights and slipped into her flat ballet pumps.

I pulled on my long overcoat over the school uniform and buttoned it up to the top, leaving just the top button open, with none of the uniform visible. The only sign were the black tights and the ballet pumps on my feet. Claire looked really good in my suit, and turning she hugged and kissed me “Thank you so much” with that she opened the door and hurried to her friends, picking up my handbag I walked out into the corridor.

Walking into the hall the lights were going down, I sat down next to Mel, she turned “Hi Becca, so glad you could make it, you are just in time” we sat and watched, a couple of music numbers and finally the awards were announced, as Claire walked onto stage Mel turned towards me puzzled. I opened my jacket slightly and exposed Claire's school uniform underneath, Mel started laughing instantly “Oh, thank you, i bet Claire was pleased” she whispered, I smiled “I think so” Mel bent down and lifted my foot “Wow, never thought I would see the day Rebecca wore ballet pumps from Primark” i laughed.

Lol, one of my ex's wore the same size as me, and he wore my heels/boots a few times, the first time he did i was shocked, but after that it was fairly amusing, on a late night walk home one evening i made him swap shoes with me, so it did have its advantages.

My fav Jimmy's are re-heeled and tipped nearly every month, if you wear expensive shoes alot they do need constant attention. Saying that my second fav shoes are dolce and gabanna black heels and they seem to last alot longer.
