'Comfortable' Marks and Spencer heels that are 'perfect for spring' come in 4 different colours
Spring weddings are in full swing, with pastel-coloured dresses and accessories flying off some of our favourite shops' shelves. But one key element to any wedding-guest outfit, for us ladies, is a comfortable heel that can be worn for hours on end. And Marks and Spencer shoppers seem to have found just the pair that not only offer comfort but timeless style too.
The Woven Kitten Heel Slingback Shoes from the M&S Collection cost £49.50 and come in four different colourways from white and 'natural' stoney shades to black and silver - meaning you can get the perfect match for any outfit. Available in all sizes 3 to 8 in the silver, the other shades have limited sizing so shoppers need to act fast to snap up their ideal hue.
The slingbacks have been 'handmade' and feature a unique woven texture that makes them breathable in warmer weather, plus they have an interesting finish. With a classic pointed toe, the shoes add a classiness that'll immediately elevate an outfit.
It's the shoe's mid-height 40mm kitten heel, however, that helps with the comfort level as it means the weight doesn't rest entirely on the balls of your feet - as is often the case with higher, more stiletto style heels.
If the woven detail of the M&S shoes isn't quite matching your vibe, New Look has a similar faux leather style for £27.99 that comes in 5 different colours, while those wanting classic black heels can snap up the Micheal Kors Luna Leather Slingback Kitten Pump heels for £65 on sale from £145. For slingback flats - that ooze the same elegance but minus the height - New Look's linen-look design are a lovely alternative and cost £17.99.
While the low heel height does wonders for keeping heel pain at bay, the M&S shoes have been crafted with nifty Insolia technology too, which helps reduce pressure on this part of the foot and increases ankle stability to keep fashion lovers dancing all night long.
The shoes have been a hit with M&S fans and have accrued an impressive rating of 4.3 stars out of 5, with many shoppers complimenting how 'beautiful' and 'comfortable' they are.
One person raved: "These shoes are ideal as now not comfortable wearing high heels. These kitten heels are stylish and still give the air of confidence."
"Good design which works well with trousers or dresses. Stylish design looks good. Comfortable to wear which surprised me," said another, while a third echoed: "Bought these for my daughter in cream perfect for spring , they are size perfect and she said they comfortable."
While the majority of the comments sung the shoes' praises, some did share how they found the shoes a little on the loose side when it came to ordering their normal size. One person said: "The sling at the back is a little loose I won't lie but I can manage but they padding under the heel is hard."
Someone else added: "I ordered size 6 which were too big, thought 5 would be too small as 5 1/2 not available, bug they are perfect!" So keep that in mind when purchasing.
The woven style slingbacks, here, aren't all that M&S is offering with wedding season in full flow. Its Sparkle Ankle Strap Kitten Heels are £39.50 while the red Slip On Kitten Heel Pointed Slingback Shoes are £29.50.

A fellow shopper echoed this sentiment and returned the garment, explaining: "Unfortunately around the bust area there was to much material and it sat away from my body gaping and exposing my bra." Another testimonial declared: "Love it. Very flattering, perfect fit and length. It's quite heavy with the double cloth but excellent quality. I'm sure I will wear it a lot."

I tried an 'espresso lemonade' — can it match the beloved iced latte?
Whatever happened to a classic G&T? In the past year or so, it seems people are becoming increasingly bored by standard drink options, and are on the search for something more thrilling. It started with Dua Lipa mixing Diet Coke, pickle juice, and jalapeño brine. People declared the drink 'evil' on social media, but the trend spiralled into something much more sinister. Since Dua braved to share her guilty pleasure, influencers have revealed their own recipes: thinkk beer and Sprite, chocolate milk and vodka, and cucumber-infused gin. Others have dabbled with more extreme recipes. Arguably, the worst are the blue cheese and kimchi filthy martinis cropping up on TikTok (we have to draw the line somewhere). The latest concoction? An espresso lemonade. The Washington Post has declared it 'summer's most unexpected refresher'. And so, full of scepticism, I decided to find out for myself. With the London weather being unusually hot this year, I've had to swap my usual lattes for iced ones, but I might be the only person who just can't get on board. I just can't get past the bitter cold taste and have to mask it completely by ordering iced coffees with unreasonably expensive syrupy add-ons. But espresso lemonades might have just opened an entirely new world for me. The recipe is really as simple as it sounds. Order an espresso, and mix it together in a glass with ice and lemonade. I sourced my espresso from Pret and diet lemonade from M&S. Once I poured the lemonade in, it immediately fizzed up and looked quite similar to a Coke float, minus the ice cream. My first sip was interesting and bitter. A second later, I realised I stupidly hadn't mixed the two together. With a quick stir, the sharp coffee flavour blended into the refreshing lemonade. The taste wasn't much different from a regular lemonade, but with a familiar coffee aftertaste. I would definitely opt for a sugary lemonade over a diet next time, to sweeten it up a bit more. It's still much more refreshing than an iced coffee, and after trying it, I'm not sure I can ever go back to the cold milky nightmare mixture. This was lighter, and much more drinkable. Taking a sip of the unique concoction certainly raised a few eyebrows at Metro HQ, but after forcing one of my colleagues to try it, she agreed it wasn't half as strange as she expected. 'I expected to hate this arguably ungodly concoction, but surprisingly, I didn't,' Metro Lifestyle's Eleanor Noyce said. 'It needs near-constant mixing to make sure the lemonade and espresso shot aren't separated, but I thought it was the perfect blend of sweet and tangy. 'I wouldn't necessarily drink it unless I really needed an afternoon pick-me-up, though. For now, I'll probably stick to a classic iced latte.' And Metro's Lifestyle Editor, Kristina Beanland, an iced americano lover during the summer months, was equally surprised. 'I really thought this would be disgusting, but it's actually pretty decent. Like a fizzy coffee, if you will. 'It's honestly like nothing I've ever tasted before, a citrus addition to my beloved iced coffees. I'm not sure I'll be rushing to have another one though.' The recipe is simple, but if you want a step-by-step: Fill a cup with plenty of ice. Pour in a lemonade of your choice over ice until it covers 3/4 of the cup. Add one double-shot of espresso. If you're feeling fancy, garnish with it a lemon on the side or some mint. And if it's too bitter, add in some sugar. Make sure to mix it together before drinking. The drink may seem like a recent invention, hopping on the back of bizarre drink trends on TikTok, but coffee shops have been serving it for years, and the original lemon, sugar and coffee recipe actually dates back to the 19th century. An ancestor of the modern-day iced coffee, Mazagran Coffee is thought to have been created in the 1840s by French colonial troops in Algeria. The soldiers were stationed at the Mazagran fortress near Mostaganem, and mixed shot coffee with cold water and syrup to combat the heat. More Trending The drink later became popular in Portugal, parts of France and Austria, and now it's often served with lemon, sugar water and sometimes rum. The UK high street hasn't caught on to it yet, so don't expect to find any on Pret's menu. However, there's nothing stopping you from ordering a coffee and lemonade an independent coffee shop and mixing it yourself.
