MOCK UP
Let’s face it, comfy footwear rarely graces the pages of Vogue, but Mocks shoes have caught our eye with their bright, snappy designs. A contemporary twist on the traditional moccasin, the unisex shoes come in a variety of colours and are lightweight, washable and – best of all – super comfy. Apparently they’re a big hit with the Made in Chelsea folk, but don’t let that put you off. Available at Office, 14 Ealing Broadway, W5; mocksonline.com
