The daffodils are blooming, the days are getting longer and the new fashion season is officially here. We’ll be putting spring in our step with some of the fantastic footwear hitting stores this month – in particular, our two new favourite styles, the clog and the midi heel.

Clogs were all over the catwalk, with designers including Betty Jackson, Chanel, PPQ and Felder and Felder all embracing the wooden shoe. Meanwhile, Prada, Marni, chloe and Missoni came over all kittenish with restrained mid-height sandals.

I’ve already extolled the virtues (and pitfalls) of both shoes here, so now it’s time to convince you with a selection of the high street’s finest. Kurt Geiger and ASOS have the best clogs we’ve seen, to bring a little Dutch charm to your denim and prairie dresses (see Alexa Chung for styling tips). Meanwhile, the midi heel is making an appearance in several guises; cone-shaped on sexy gladiator sandals, sturdy on simple pumps and in wedge form on 70s-inspired mumsie styles.

After several years of skyscraper heels and gladiator flats, these chunky and, dare we say it, sensible mid-height heels might be a shock to the system at first. But once you see how chic they look, we reckon you’ll be springing (or clumping) into the new season in style.
