It seemed unlikely Victoria Beckham would ever give up her high heels, and we could almost picture her tottering around her care home precariously in stilettos.
But incredibly, the singer and fashion designer has decided she now wants to wear something more “simple and comfortable”.

In an interview with The Telegraph, she said: “I think people saw the real me when I came out in a pair of men’s trousers, a roll-neck and trainers.
“I just can’t do heels any more. At least not when I’m working, [and] I travel a lot. Clothes have to be simple and comfortable.”
The 41-year-old has increasingly been spotted in flats.
In 2009, she told Allure magazine: “I beyond hate ballerina flats. I can’t even walk in them. Unless they’re on a ballet dancer doing ballet, I just don’t get it. I love heels.”
She has reportedly been forced to undergo bunion surgery after years of wearing heels.
