And we have a tiled floor at our house. Plus they are 2 years old so about time to be replaced.</p> <p>Don't worry about the recommendations - I've had plenty to go on with in this thread.&nbsp;</p> <p>Jenni, I didn't feel rushed by anyone - just wanted to explain why I hadn't gone back to the thread. Merry Christmas to you too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-my-year-of-shoe-renewal#post-2086384 Thu, 19 Dec 2019 13:32:49 +0000 Angie 2086384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't make shoe recommendations for Oz, but wanted to chime in to say that I like those pretty and simple sandals. Pity about the not so great sole.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-my-year-of-shoe-renewal#post-2086358 Thu, 19 Dec 2019 09:10:10 +0000 Jenni NZ 2086358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no hurry Anne, I know you were looking at 2020 and want to get it right.

This is a very busy time of the year! I had a look in Hobbs and Paul Carroll but didn't try any on.<br /> I definitely won't be looking until after Christmas, in fact not until the new year. Hopefully things won't sell out before then.<br /> This is a big purchase for me and I want to get it right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-my-year-of-shoe-renewal#post-2085032 Sun, 15 Dec 2019 11:59:43 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2085032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've discovered since starting at YLF that I have a thing for shoes. Who knew?</p> <p> <div>I haven't tried any of these, but they are from a German brand I trust to be comfortable and supportive. <br /></div><div><a rel="nofollow" href="https://tamaris.com/de-AT/sandale/1-1-28042-22.html#color=001">https://tamaris.com/de-AT/sand.....#color=001</a></div><div><a rel="nofollow" href="https://tamaris.com/de-AT/sandale/1-1-28157-32.html#color=693">https://tamaris.com/de-AT/sand.....#color=693</a>&nbsp;</div><div><a rel="nofollow" href="https://tamaris.com/de-AT/sandale/1-1-28137-22.html#color=521">https://tamaris.com/de-AT/sand.....#color=521</a>&nbsp;</div><div><a rel="nofollow" href="https://tamaris.com/de-AT/sandale/1-1-28139-22.html#color=308">https://tamaris.com/de-AT/sand.....#color=308</a>&nbsp;</div><div><a rel="nofollow" href="https://tamaris.com/de-AT/sandale/1-1-28210-22.html#color=441">https://tamaris.com/de-AT/sand.....#color=441</a></div><div><br /></div><div>These are the sandals I really want, but they are sold out in my size--wish I could find others just like them! <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.callitspring.com/us/en_US/women/footwear/sandals/Majesty/p/11986587">https://www.callitspring.com/u.....p/11986587</a><br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-my-year-of-shoe-renewal#post-2085017 Sun, 15 Dec 2019 10:09:58 +0000 Jenni NZ 2085017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Bijou about trying on in store and then stalking on Styletread- take a note of prices in store then see if they are on Styletread who often have a sale around Christmas/ New Year of an extra 20 % off on sale shoes. That's how I get some of the many shoes that are on my wish-list, because I already know my size in those brands and I think in 3 years, getting 9 pair shipped and only having to return 3 for fit not right, is a pretty good strike rate of 66 % for on-line.&nbsp;<br />I keep a wish-list ahead partly for that reason of not wishing to pay the kind of prices that you have to in some of the retail stores. But it is also easy for me to find shoes I like since I like a huge number, and I have relatively easy feet to fit in a standard Euro size 36. ( I like all the shoes in all the colours and I know you are more circumspect!)&nbsp;<br />Looking ahead now for your 2020 shoes could mean you will be ready to pounce!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-my-year-of-shoe-renewal#post-2085015 Sun, 15 Dec 2019 09:45:20 +0000 Bijou 2085015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, Hobbs shoes has Django and Juliette shoes and I find them very comfy - I have a narrow low volume foot - but my Django &amp; Juliette shoes are boots, so an easier fit than sandals for my foot. </p> <p>If you are not in a hurry, I would wait until after Christmas because they are likely to have a sale. As well, if you find what you want at full price, you could then stalk the shoes on Styletread for a good bargain. </p> <p>I have some Ecco sandals and also Ziera which are comfortable, but they were expensive and do not go on sale until very late in the season. I am not sure if you are into Birkenstocks, I have a pair of slides that I have had for 10 years and they still won't die. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-my-year-of-shoe-renewal#post-2085013 Sun, 15 Dec 2019 09:08:19 +0000 anne 2085013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all so very much for these suggestions, and especially to Jenni for searching and downloading the pictures!<br /> I am now confident I will be able to find done thing. Most of the mentioned brands are stocked in my city, so I am going to start in store and see how I go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-my-year-of-shoe-renewal#post-2084814 Sat, 14 Dec 2019 03:01:42 +0000 SarahD8 2084814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you have Born available to you I have found that brand to be very comfortable and hold up well...although my Born sandals are several years old, precisely because they are so durable! (Their little sister brand, BOC, is NOT the same quality.)</p> <p>Bussola is good too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-my-year-of-shoe-renewal#post-2084803 Sat, 14 Dec 2019 02:05:00 +0000 Jenni NZ 2084803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a look on Styletread for you, for fun. These are all on sale and range from $ NZ 34 to $ NZ 86. Will be less in your dollars.<br />From left: Supersoft, I Love Billy, Sofia Cruz in 2 colours, Django and Juliette, and Geox. All brands I know, I own Supersoft and Django and Juliette, DH owns Geox.&nbsp;<br />Just filtered with the sort of things you asked about and not that different to your old ones.xx&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-my-year-of-shoe-renewal#post-2084780 Fri, 13 Dec 2019 23:29:06 +0000 Anonymous 2084780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes to checking out Naot.

Great suggestions to look through. You guys really are great. Will look at them all in detail, but the ones I have checked out so far seem to have been along the lines I am looking for. </p> <p>Here's to finding some sandals I can walk around the supermarket in and not get sore feet and legs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-my-year-of-shoe-renewal#post-2084744 Fri, 13 Dec 2019 20:28:31 +0000 Helena 2084744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Following with interest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-my-year-of-shoe-renewal#post-2084709 Fri, 13 Dec 2019 19:24:30 +0000 Jenni NZ 2084709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, seriously go on Styletread. I forget if Sydney or Melbourne based, owned I have been told by the Django/Juliette and I Love Billy people, so those brands feature but so do lots of others. Certainly Ecco and Rollies. I have bought 9 pairs and only returned 3 for not fitting. Both my Italian made boots are from there and at around $100 NZ each which is less in $ AU.<br /> Really good sale prices then at least twice a year another 20 % off on top. Heaps of flat sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-my-year-of-shoe-renewal#post-2084670 Fri, 13 Dec 2019 17:47:19 +0000 slim cat 2084670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Naot, Earth, Ecco, Abeo - all have good collections.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.thewalkingcompany.com/products/abeo-b-i-o-system-bea-neutral-pewter">https://www.thewalkingcompany......ral-pewter</a>&nbsp;that's the sandal I got in two colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-my-year-of-shoe-renewal#post-2084642 Fri, 13 Dec 2019 16:35:52 +0000 JAileen 2084642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a few pairs of Naot Kayla. &nbsp;They are flat, but not too flat. &nbsp;I think they are super comfy, but some people think they are too narrow. &nbsp;They do come in wide widths. &nbsp;Nordstrom, Zappos and Amazon sell them. &nbsp;And they come in lots of colors. &nbsp;Here’s a pretty color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-my-year-of-shoe-renewal#post-2084639 Fri, 13 Dec 2019 16:30:50 +0000 Sal 2084639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just a couple of thoughts - have you considered Rollies? I have a pair of their Derby punches and they are so comfortable. I also have slides but their sandals look good too.</p> <p>ECCO are a super comfortable brand but I don’t have a particular recommendation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-my-year-of-shoe-renewal#post-2084638 Fri, 13 Dec 2019 16:23:54 +0000 deb 2084638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmmm… I need to think about this. Have you tried Vionics? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-my-year-of-shoe-renewal#post-2084621 Fri, 13 Dec 2019 14:50:44 +0000 anne 2084621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While 2019 has been by my standards big purchasing year, of around 20 items, I only bought one pair of shoes. </p> <p>I now need a lot of shoe renewing. I plan on flat shoes for work which is a departure for me, new casual sneakers and first priority, new flat sandals. </p> <p>My last pair of sandals (see finds) was a nice colour and beautifully soft, but it doesn't have a great sole. </p> <p>I am looking for recommendations of flat but not too flat, strapped but not toe strapped neutral sandals with a supportive sole. </p>
