I did a wee outfit tweak when I got into the office - I actually added one more roll to the pants which seems to have "flattened" out the bulkiness since it covered the actual hem a bit better. Plus it shows a bit more of the ankle strap on the shoe. Much better IMHO.
The pants are not as slim as Angie's version and they are silkier but in her formula I think there is room for variation on the type of pants. I'm fine with this "Shannon version".
Diane - I don't think I'd want to iron the roll to set it because then when I want to wear the pants full length, I will have to iron them again to get that crease out, you know?
Ruth - the shoes are from RW & Co - surprisingly comfy.They don't come in wide widths but my feet border on wide so these might work for you.
Suz - these shoes have no off gas odor (thank goodness!) and they do have a reasonably decent amount of foot padding. Yes, the back is HIGH but I'm lucky in that I have very little shape and definition in my heel (part of the reason why many shoes slip off my heel) and I think that works for me with these. I did add a wee bit of moleskin to the inside of the back top just because they rubbed a bit. But I've already run up to the Labour Floor twice and am totally impressed with the comfort - not a problem spot anywhere now.
