The very flattering and classy footwear you MUST snap up earlier than it is too late: Top trend editor picks out the on-sale footwear that is flying off the cabinets

Remember that episode of Sex and the City where Carrie shouts: ‘I’ve spent $40,000 on shoes and I have no place to live?’ Well we’ve not taken it quite as far, but we subscribe to the general idea that buying shoes is one of life’s great pleasures.

If you feel the same, you’re in luck. The winter sales are the perfect time to bag a bargain on a pair of shoes you’ve been eyeing up for ages.

Our advice? Stick to classic, timeless styles that won’t instantly look dated next season. That way, you get a great deal on a pair of shoes you can really get your wear out of. After all, even if some gorgeous stilettos are reduced massively, if you’ll never actually wear them they’re still not worth your money.

To help you shop smartly, we’ve scoured through reams of sale pages to find the shoes it’s worth shopping for. We’ve split our list into five sections – trainers, boots, loafers, flats and heels – so whatever style you’re after, you’ll find your perfect fit. Happy shopping!
