Simplicity is the key here with these snakeskin effect flat sandals. The delicate t-bar and ankle strap means they are smart enough to wear with a pretty dress out to dinner on a nice balmy evening, but are can also be dressed down for a picnic in the park or barbeque.
Make sure those tootsies are in ship-shape condition (a bit of toenail polish and a heel scrub are a good place to start) as with these sandals, there will be nowhere for them to hide! They're £12 from ASOS.

Espadrilles tend to get a bit of a mixed reaction here at Shoewawa: some of you absolutely hate them, while others think they're more or less a summer essential. Just for that second group then, these spot espadrilles from Matalan come in red or black, and the polka dot pattern helps make them suitably summery. They're only £10, too, which is a pretty good deal, especially given the limited opportunities to wear summer shoes here in the UK!

According to the Faith website, Claudia Schiffer was recently spotted buying a pair of their £45 'Hipplie' wedges. These look like a fairly standard pair of cork-soled wedges to me, although there's no denying that shoes like these always come in handy during the summer season, but clearly Claudia found something special about them - I'm just wondering whether you will? If you do, these are also available in white. What do you think of them?

They may not be at the cutting edge of fashion, but Next are good at producing decent quality shoes for special occasions, and I think these gold button shoes could be a good choice for someone with a wedding to attend, for instance, who doesn't want to wear high heels. The brocade uppers make these very dressy, while the round toes and low heels should make them fairly comfortable - essential if you're going to be standing around all day! The £35 price tag is reasonable, too.

How to give a little bit of life to your Mary Janes? Make them in leopard print, of course! That's exactly what Pedro Garcia has done with these shoes , changing them from a sensible day shoe to something that will spice up any outfit you want to wear them with. I love leopard print shoes, so I'm equally enamoured with these ones, but if you're not so keen on the print, they're also available in black patent. They're £220 at My-Wardrobe.com.

I may not be able to pronounce the name, but I definitely know a good shoe when I see one! These slingbacks from Giambattista Valli (seriously - am I the only one who can't get my tongue around that?) are one of those purchases you will make and be thankful for every time you slip your toes into them.
Silk and leather offset the fabulous snakeskin-covered heel and, along with the delicate bow featured just above the peep toe, ensures these heels are a total wardrobe classic. Classics don't often come cheap either, so it's with absolute glee I see they have been reduced to just £165 (from £405) at Browns.

There's something a little bit cartoonish about these platform peep toes from Miss Selfridge - so much so that even although I'm drawn to the slightly retro style of them, I still can't help but wonder whether they'd make me look like Minnie Mouse if I actually tried to wear them.
Aside from that oversized vamp, however, the red heel and piping is a nice touch, and £35 is a good price for a new pair of shoes. Get them at MissSelfridge.com.
