Foldable shoes

    Does anyone know where you can buy those shoes that fold up and fit in your handbag? I'm looking for a pair to save my feet on nights out...

    Not willing to spend a huge amount though seeing as they'll spend most of the night in my bag rather than on my feet!

    Thanks!

    I've only ever seen them in Dunnes & Avon. (dunnes used to have em in boxes beside the tills)

    I just bring a pair of Dunnes stores off the rails 7quid flats, they fit into all my bags and they have better soles on them than the folding ones, least I could walk from the pub to a taxi or what ever & know that if I did walk over something unware to me it wasn't gonna go right into my foot in an instant.

    I got some from Avon and they're quite comfy but a bit chunky when you fold them up. I saw them in Clerys recently but think they were around €35 I've also seen them on a website www.designsonu.ie I sometimes just use a cheap pair from Dunnes though.

    They sell those in the Awear on Grafton Street as well, or at least they did the last time I was there!
    They are fairly expensive for what you're looking for though, I think.

    I got cheap ones in Pennys, I think they were 6 quid or about there. They were really good and folded up quite small (they fit into my ridiculous handbag anyway!)

    There are ones you can get online called tipsy feet, you can get them online for about 20 quid and the wee bag they come in expands out for you to put your heels into.

    I would just stick to pennys myself, but I'm skint! :p

    I bought a pair of the rollasole one's in new look a few months back for my college ball. good idea in theory but i may as well have been walking on paper soles, they would've been useless if i stood on anything sharp and my feet ended up hurting more than if i'd left my heels on!
    they were about €8 i think so you'd probably be better off getting the one's that are a little bit more expensive to save your footsies! :)

    Hi All,

    Sorry for dragging up an old thread but any one know where these are sold nowadays? I need some for the weekend so online won't be any goo.

    Thanks in advance for any tips.
