It's a Swelle Giveaway! Win New Shoes from Sarenza (UK)
A few months back I had the chance to choose and style a pair of Sarenza shoes for their Continental Fashion Finding competition. I happily took a pair of grey suede, tall flat boots from Valensia and they've been a brilliant addition to my shoe wardrobe, which must be equal parts comfortable, stylish and versatile. In other words, they need to go with at least half of what I own, look good, and not leave me hobbling and wimpering in the street. I've been there, it's not attractive and friends aren't keen to carry you on their backs. (Strange guys will offer, however.)
Now it's your chance to get your own free shoes, or at least win something toward your favourite pair (because if you're anything like me you'll be most attracted to the expensive ones). Sarenza has generously offered one Swelle reader £60 in vouchers to go shoe shopping at sarenza.co.uk
To enter, tell us in the comments section of this post why you deserve to win a new pair of shoes. You may be fabulous but that's not a good enough reason! The lovelies at Sarenza will choose their five favourite answers from all submitted and from those, I'll choose the winner.
Please note: This competition is open only to UK residents.
This competition will run for one week, closing at midnight, 20th September. The top five answers as chosen by Sarenza will be submitted to me and the winner will be announced before the end of the week.
Good luck, and remember to charm us with your answer!
























Wish I lived in the UK! All those shoes are fabulous!!

Have fit-flopped all summer so now need to think about Autumn and Winter wear. Wasn't looking forward to going back to shoes and boots but these look good enough to prise me out of my fitflops :)

Just over a year ago my feet shrank down one size ( from a 7 to a 6, i wish my waist line would do the same). As a shoe lover i had over 40 pairs of shoes and boots which i have had to part with (its been very traumatic), I'm slowly rebuilding my fablous collection but its been very expensive (and i'm on a budget). The voucher would be very much appreciated.

I deserve a new pair of shoes, we have a shoe closet and our puppy got in and chewed one of each of my boots, shoes and trainers so am not a very happy bunny

I lost a bunch of weight (yay!) which meant that my foot size went down (yay!) and now I don't have shoes that fit (boo!) and this would very much help me stop tripping over my too-big shoes. :)

I would love a new pair of shoes, I do not have any special shoes to go out in. I want to look posh in new shoes.

Completely bummed I'm not from the UK, I'm currently looking for the cutest pair of black booties to go with anything and everything including a dress I'm nervous to wear-- one that shows my arms, I'd rather draw all the attention to my fashion forward footwear from Sarenza like the Pura Lopez: Grace or the Buffalo: Monica-- In Love!

This is competition definitely a sign because this morning I had the worst wearing-in-of-shoes experience ever. One of my toes is cut (probably my fault for badly trimming my toenails) and not only did I develop blisters on my heels on the way into work, I also burst them, gooed up these gorgeous NEW dusty pink (with tiny bows) ankle sock/tights with a combination of grey leather shoesweat and various foot fluids (including blister-weep and blood).
Really, I should have stopped 5 minutes down the road and a) applied plasters or b) gone back home for more comfy shoes but like a fool/shoe martyr I kept on going. Which is why I should definitely get something new to wear in. (For being a shoe martyr I mean...).

I recently went to see the Vagina monologues and was amazed at what vaginas around the world have to say - my feet have now decided to shout louder and are screaming for a new pair of shoes - coming to a theatre near you - Tracey's Tootsy monologues!!

Gorgeous selection! I think I deserve to win because I work in a shop and spend all day on my feet as we're not allowed to sit down. I'm in my 30's but have the feet & legs of somone twice my age! I yearn for comfort AND style, a pair of shoes that makes me feel sexy, sassy and not screaming in pain. That voucher might just be my ticket to foot freedom! :)
