Glass Slipper Hunt Round 2: Galaxy Oxfords

I got my Solestruck order today (fast!), and tried out two more Miistas. The blue ombre booties were not comfy at all and instantly deemed "clown shoes" by DH.

The oxford version of the original galaxy booties are much more comfy. DH says they make my feet look bigger from the side but not enough to bother him. Final verdict from him: "I think I kind of like them; they're interesting."

Trying to show them with all my signature colors represented as well as a variety of bottom silhouettes. I forgot to do skinnies. I am a WEEE bit bothered by the foot profile - trying to decide if my eye will adjust. I do really like them from the front, though, and it seems like the lining is leather.

Now... I am holding that thought, because I still have blue Danskos and rafia sneakers coming on Friday!

soooo much better. love the oxfords. the sparkle is restrained but still eye catching. i am also still in lust for the raffia oxfords. would like to see a shoe-off.

Debbie

The oxfords look great on you! Looks like they will play well in your closet.

cciele

I really like them!

Ginkgo

Love them on you! They go with the colors in your wardrobe and look good against your skin and they're tomboyish!

Now try them on with your rose print skirt. If that doesn't work proportion-wise, toss the skirt.

Those are awesome! I thought the booties were great but these are even better - and they're more comfortable - and hubs approved? Sounds like the glass slippers have been found!!

Rae, where are the raffia sneakers from?

Mochi

I like them a lot, especially in Pic 4. High potential and comfort will not be an issue.

Ginko, I ordered from Nordies so I could use my discount. These are them:

The oxfords are 100x cooler than the boots, love them!

deb

Those, I like.

Thanks Rae! Hope the raffia sneakers come back in my size, meanwhile I'll be watching to see how you like them. But you've got to keep these oxfords -- they really elevate a simple outfit

Aida

I kind of REALLY love them! The profile doesn't bother me (I feel you), I am guessing the lightness on the toes is what's doing it here. But they have the perfect mix of sleekness and manness. They do appear to work with all of your signature sours, and actually even seem to function as a semi-low contrast shoe on you (Magic?). But if the length is an issue, definitely consider that with a shoe like this you WILL be getting plenty of foot attention. Just sayin'. I think they're sweet and I would put up with that on myself and so I vote YAY!

(Also.... I love everything about photo #3!).

The sky is going to fall down. You are wearing flat oxfords.

Are you choosing between the Galaxy booties and oxfords?

Jaime

Well I have a giant sugar eye for oxfords, but I love them on you!

annagybe

I really like them, but I think you should wait for for the other shoes until passing final verdict. I really like the raffia ones.

Yay, I am glad you all like them; I am leaning toward keeping if the others don't work out.

Aida, I was thinking the same about the low-contrast - magic indeed. It is between these, the blue Danskos, and the rafia Robert Clergeries.

Angie, no, I had to return the booties for comfort reasons, but I was not ready to give up on the print. The sky really is falling - and landing on my feet!

Ah. Rotten luck

LOVE these flat oxfords!!

Something tells me that if they fit and are comfy, those raffia cuties are going to make this a very tough decision. Those have your name written all over them!

Yeah, it figures that when I order a single pair they get sent back, but now that I've ordered a bunch I'm bound to want them all. o_0

When it rains it pours! I do like these oxfords, but I am not really hearing love from you. I look forward to seeing the rafia shoes and, yes, the Danskos!

Beth Ann

Love these on you. I like their playfulness, which is important, to my mind, to achieving the perfect UWP persona. Little bits of playful keep y'all from being "she's gonna kick my butt" scary.

I also love the raffia ones, but I'd destroy those in a season for sure --- perhaps you're easier on shoes than I am!

missvee

I love the oxfords too - something about the symbolism really pleases me - the idea that you've got the whole world at your feet! But they have to be comfortable too. I like the ones you have on order too - who knows, you might *need* a second pair

Tina.b

The loafers are excellent, the shape is great and the pattern is so cool. What size are your feet if you don't mind me asking? If you remember I ordered the rose gold oxfords and wondering if my size 40 feet are going to look like golden beacons, lol. You feet look quite tiny in these considering they are loafers. Looking forward to seeing the other two pairs also!

Transcona Shannon

REALLY like these on you Rae and they definitely work with your colours. As Aida pointed out, it's kind of amazing how they appear low contrast on you. How can a galazy print act as a neutral???

Anyway...these are definitely contenders, especially because of the comfort factor. Once you get the raffia sneakers and the Danskos, then make your decision.

Sara L.

I really like the loafers! I don't think they make your feet look big. I understand your issue with that because that's something that concerns me when shoe shopping also. Those rafia loafers are super cute too and if it turns out they're comfortable, it could be a hard decision.

Janet

I agree with all of Aida's remarks! Those are fabulous on you. I like them better than the booties (!) -- I am resisting trying them myself.

texstyle

These really seem to fit in nicely with all you've shown so far - the raffia sneakers seem like they will be a bit pale by comparison to all this color excitement, but they also seem like they would be very cool on the feet in warm weather. And I also have a soft spot for Danskos due to their extreme comfort to my picky feet.

Parsley

Love the oxfords on you!
