Statement Shoes

Just like a statement necklace is brilliant at detracting the eye away from any extra inches around your waist, a statement shoe will attract the eye away from hips / thighs / etc.  In the case of Boden's flat jewelled pointed flats there is no way an onlooker could focus anywhere else!  

If you love sparkly shoes you'll have to act fast when these beauties come online this autumn, even at £129 a pair (available in gold and black) they already have quite a following.

Pointy toe flats are a great way to extend your legs, and if they have a little extra detail (pattern / bows / sparkles) they work even better at detracting away from not-so-perfect areas. 

They look best with a little bit of skin on show, as those that are too closed can elongate your foot, as the final pair below demonstrate:

Skin on show elongates your legs

Fine if you're trying to lengthen your foot, but avoid if it's already long!
