Hi there,

I finally need to replace these workhorse shoes, which I have since 2011 (!).
There is no shoe I wore more often for work, but now they are irreparable damaged - I'm very sad, because they are so comfy and went well with a lot. I just need something to replace them, and I tried over the years, but I never succeeded. My old ones are just not cool and not in style, what makes it so difficult :(

I'm happy for every idea or hint, where I can get me similar ones :)

It is important for me is the wedge, that there is no plateau and that the front is kind of higher and not made like pumps but also not completely closed.
The heel here is about 7,5cm/2,95 inch - this is around my comfy-zone :)

Penelope Chilvers has some comfortable classic shoes made in Spain which are premium (rather than designer) price. They don't take long to wear in either.

What about Cocquette?

I’ve found lots online by doing a reverse image search of your shoe! I remember when I had my first job after qualifying I had a pair from Clarkes with quite a high heel and they were SO comfortable!

You’re welcome! I also removed the background for you too ◡̈ might make it easier. Are you able to go on Pinterest and find what the shoes looked like when you got them? Or use that Time Machine website? If you can get a pic of them new, you’ll likely get more accurate results. The lengths we’ll go to for comfy shoes hey!<3

Oh they look identical! Maybe have a look at who stocks SW. Or look directly on the site? I’m a bit funny with buying shoes on re-sale websites, but sometimes shoes are new in box. I have so many brand new shoes still in box! I think it also depends on where you’re located. If you’re in the UK, I’ll see who ships here FoC without import duties.

Also, I know a lot of brands will discontinue a particular shoe and then bring it out again but with a very slight modification. These are called Stuart Weitzman: Arise Loafer Wedge Pump, and that didn't yield any results on the SW website. Might be worth looking through all shoes on the website! I also realised you’re in Germany and that the shoes are only avail in Germany. Chemo brain
