According to a recent poll of SecretSales.com members, two thirds (62 per cent) of women are planning to ditch their heels for a more comfortable flat shoe this season.

 

With recent news revealing Sarah Jessica Parker and Victoria Beckham have developed long-term foot damage due to wearing high heels, wise women are deciding to mix up their wardrobe and leave the old adage ‘beauty is pain’ behind them.

 

Despite continuous health warnings, there are some stylish women who just cannot bear to be parted from their beloved stilettos; with a quarter (27 per cent) saying they would not feel confident wearing flats every day.

 

For those women thinking of mixing up their flats to heels ratio, Chelsea boots, as sported recently by Victoria Beckham, or glamorous pumps, worn by Alexa Chung and Sienna Miller, are a must for this season.

 

Ballet pumps were the staple flat shoe for British women, followed by Chelsea boots in second. The least popular flat footwear of choice were moon boots, with one in five (19 per cent) fashionistas saying they would not be caught dead in a pair.

 

Top five flat shoes:
