Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

The stores are stacked with classic looks: in shoes, it is the brogue. With summer almost upon us, the heftier styles in black and brown may be looking a bit harsh. For those whose white, bunion-scarred feet are not up to being revealed by a pair of barely-there strappy sandals, Pied A Terre has the solution: a two-tone soft confection, in salmon patent pink and white leather. Colour aside, this is one of the subtler takes on patents to be seen, and somehow makes the look a lot more palatable.

These tappers are delicate enough to be teamed with the most lightweight of trousers or most fragile of skirts. More important, this is a sensible shoe that can just as easily be worn with bare legs or the most subtle of pastel tights. One word of warning, though - watch out for the clown jokes.

The loafers, available in pink and white or black and white, cost pounds 69 from Pied A Terre Basics, 5 Garrick Street, London WC2, and 3 Duke Lane, Brighton.
