Cheers all. Yes Fashiontern, eye candy! But I'm serious about not on trend for Sth Hemisphere summer. I checked every shoe shop, a large number, in Pacific Fair. A sea of black, white, beige, tan and metallics. The occasional red or other colours had very high heels. I saw a very pretty cobalt blue dainty high heeled sandal in Wittner. In the bad old days I would probably have bought it. Have learned better and didn't even try on.
Deb, I do check Ziera but didn't know about Cinori, so thanks! Ziera is a very old NZ brand that has changed its name twice in the past 40 years or so, my Mum liked it in about the 70s! It was started by a podiatrist called Mervyn Adams (Shoes) then became Kumfs then Ziera. We have stores in NZ.

I like the new ones!! It is good that you didn't settle.
