Being pathetic at walking well in heels, I'm relieved that there are more mid-heels around just now. Silver Converse are great, but sometimes they just don't cut it, and you need just a bit of a lift to make trousers look smarter and legs a little longer. I came across these courts by Sam Edelman – an American brand launched five years ago – in Harvey Nichols (£120), though they're also available at Matches and asos.com, and are about to launch onto net-a-porter.com. Every other shoe in HN's was around the £300 mark, whereas these aren't much more than you'd pay for a run-of-the-mill pair in Office. This nude, or 'truffle', colour is perfect for summer, and they're also available in black patent and other shades on the Sam Edelman website. They're set to go like hot cakes, I reckon....
