Lynne asked the other day in a comment: I’ve always stuck to dark shoes myself (yes, I’m brunette) or red — I have a weakness for red shoes. But I have a different shoe question.

Dear Imogen, I would be most grateful – on behalf of all the ladies blessed with wide calves – if you could write a post about winter fashion for women who can’t wear boots. Personally, my stocky legs and circulation problems prevent me from wearing boots – even if could find a pair that fits,…
