I would definitely go with the most comfortable of the two. I have also been reading a lot about how the sneaker craze is taking over Europe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-1#post-1278780 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 23:01:24 +0000 Marley 1278780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the blue the best - and don't really see a problem with the style of the blue as compared to the pink. I really like the outfits with the shorter hemlines. If I remember correctly, Angie stated in one of her blog posts that the athletic sneaker looks best with a shorter hemline. With that in mind, I think the skirt in #4 is too<br /> Long to wear with the sneakers. Also I think the sneakers look better with a skinny jean or a cropped jean, as opposed to a bootcut or straight leg. If you're going to take the jeans with you, I'd plan on wearing them with one of your other pair of shoes, rather than the sneakers. I'm going to look around on Pinterest and see if I can find them with bootcut or straight leg jeans - because I might be wrong! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-1#post-1278733 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 21:58:20 +0000 Angie 1278733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for blue. And the outfits with the shorter skirt and dress hemlines look fab.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-1#post-1278675 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 20:35:55 +0000 Patricia 1278675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just checked out Carter's pictures from Paris and I feel 100% better about the runners. If they are doing it in Paris then I'm good! </p> <p>Viva, I wasn't as comfortable with the full denim skirt outfit, so thanks for the compliment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-1#post-1278606 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 17:41:23 +0000 viva 1278606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't really have a preference for color -- I could make an argument for either going with your wardrobe tones and choosing the blue, or going for more contrast and choosing pink. Both work, I think.</p> <p>Just wanted to add my favorite looks with the sneakers are 3, 4, 6 and 8.&nbsp; I LOVE the sneakers with the short full denim skirt. So fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-1#post-1278603 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 17:33:40 +0000 Patricia 1278603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much for your advice. It makes me feel better about heading off with sneakers.&nbsp; I will also take a pair of sandals and some lacy Toms flats for going out to supper.&nbsp; At this moment I am leaning to the blue pair as they are slightly more comfortable than the pink. Although I do agree that the shape of the pink is nicer.</p> <p>I am thinking that with the potential for cool weather I will be in pants most of the time and so the shoes will be less obvious.&nbsp; If i keep the rest of the outfit stylish I should be okay.</p> <p>I really appreciate your help!!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-1#post-1278598 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 17:16:40 +0000 Marlene1 1278598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got back from Edinburgh this week. &nbsp;I didn't see lots of people wearing fashion sneakers - many people (including me) were still in boots - it was cool rather than cold&nbsp;but it was damp. &nbsp;That said, the shop windows were full of sundresses so I suppose it will get warmer. &nbsp;Fashion concerns aside, I think people on vacation should wear shoes that make walking and touring enjoyable. &nbsp;If you do take runners, you might need two pairs - walking in wet shoes isn't fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-1#post-1278591 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 17:09:26 +0000 CocoLion 1278591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the blue ones, they go better with your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-1#post-1278580 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 16:47:02 +0000 ameelizabeth 1278580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, so disregard my notes on the sneakers! By the time I catch onto a trend, or realize it's happening, it's usually over. I should probably not be giving fashion advice. I stand by my comments on the weather though, be prepared for cool and damp! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-1#post-1278554 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 15:12:10 +0000 Golden 1278554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the blue best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-1#post-1278493 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 13:39:16 +0000 Karie 1278493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think either pair looks fine, but I do have a preference for the blue. I might be off base here, but to me the blue looks more intentional because it matches better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-1#post-1278492 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 13:34:31 +0000 Janet 1278492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the blue. </p> <p>That said, you may want something a bit waterproof like booties. It can be quite cool and damp. Be prepared for rain. I've been in cold, rainy weather in July in Scotland and wished I had warmer...everything. I ended up buying a wool jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-1#post-1278488 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 13:20:59 +0000 kkards 1278488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i think the athletic shoe craze has hit worldwide. &nbsp;did you see carter's post&nbsp;from paris?<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sporty-luxe-in-paris">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....e-in-paris</a><br />anyway, another vote for the pink.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-1#post-1278483 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 13:07:18 +0000 MaryA 1278483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I checked with my daughter who spent a year in Edinburgh getting her master's degree and she wanted to warn you that it stays pretty cool during the summer months. She was there two years ago, during one of Scotland's cooler summers, and the temperature never rose above 60F (16C). She still laughs about going to summer street festivals wearing tights and boots.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-1#post-1278408 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 04:53:30 +0000 Adelfa 1278408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the blue. To me the blue color works with your personal coloring far better than the raspberry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-1#post-1278403 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 04:44:49 +0000 kellygirl 1278403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the blue ones the best. I think I would like the pink better if the sole wasn't white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-1#post-1278359 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 03:18:20 +0000 ameelizabeth 1278359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi!<br /> I went to England (London and Bath) and France (Paris) last summer (early August). Here were some of my observations:<br /> -I felt very out of place in sneakers, and someone did mention that Americans (or Canadians too, I'm assuming!) were easy to spot because they wore sneakers. I ended up buying some cheap ballet flats at H and M in paris because I felt so out of place (I joke about that being my fancy-pants shopping trip on the Champs de L'ysee). My metallic sandals that I brought would have been fine but it was cold and rainy, and all I had besides that were my gray new balance tennis sneakers. If I did it again, I might try bringing something like some low cut converse, or pumas, with gel insoles added.</p> <p>-The weather was much cooler than I expected. I'm guessing it might even be more so for you in Scotland. I brought skirts and shorts, but ended up wearing my one pair of long pants (dark skinnyish straight leg jeans) almost every day. They also made me look less touristy than my shorts would have, I realized, and were warm!</p> <p>-I ended up wearing a light gray scarf almost every day too...something about a scarf in Europe feels so right! </p> <p>I'm sure you'll look great in whatever you choose, just passing on some of my notes! Hope you have an amazing time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-1#post-1278354 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 02:54:36 +0000 Alana in Canada 1278354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For what it's worth, I love the pink: I think a pink bracelet or necklace or something would help make it look more intentional. They're playful and fun. The green ones are just too serious to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-1#post-1278350 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 02:42:24 +0000 Suja 1278350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they both look great and I think you achieved the intentional look with the sneakers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-1#post-1278344 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 02:29:40 +0000 Isis 1278344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the blue too---blends well with your the color palette of clothes and makes it part of the outfit.&nbsp; So, to my eye, looks more intentional... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-1#post-1278323 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 02:04:06 +0000 Missey 1278323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pink...I love the shape and think they look great as a contrast to all of your blues and greens! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-1#post-1278316 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 01:55:32 +0000 nancywalters 1278316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in the minority in that I like the blue.&nbsp; it seems to me to be a more harmonious look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-1#post-1278301 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 01:36:13 +0000 minimalist 1278301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pink. </p> <p>Because the blue ones made my secret evil matchymatchy twin grin with delight. Appeasing her is something I'm trying to do less. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-1#post-1278296 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 01:28:54 +0000 MrsK 1278296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote pink as well. The pink is complementary, the blue looks too matchy and to my eye to complementary colour really makes the pink ones work much better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-1#post-1278293 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 01:26:11 +0000 Meredith 1278293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with AndiB's thoughts and vote pink. I have a very similar pair of pink running shoes. I did actually buy them for running, but have worn them with many looks thanks to the sporty trend. I think they look great with all outfits above and if you can embrace the, "Yeah, I'm wearing bright pink shoes and I look fab," attitude you will love them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-1#post-1278289 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 01:14:31 +0000 AndiB 1278289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the shape of the pink better... Less athletic looking. I just ordered similar nikes in black with same white soles. These pink could be a great color pop. Don't think the shoes need to match the clothes. In fact the contrast says: I'm wearing some super cool shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-shoes-1#post-1278281 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 00:58:21 +0000 Patricia 1278281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie's topic on sneakers was very timely as I was in the middle of a shopping crisis trying to find comfortable shoes for a trip to Scotland.&nbsp; We are on a bus tour that starts in Edinburgh goes up through the Highlands and then ends in Glasgow.&nbsp; After that we will&nbsp; have 4 days in London and I expect to be on my feet a lot.</p> <p>I was trying to find something fairly neutral but with my narrow and fussy feet I couldn't seem to work that out.&nbsp; I ended up buying two pairs of runners, one blue and one pink,&nbsp; and I am leaning toward the blue ones because I have a lot of blue clothes.&nbsp; I have a few pictures of the shoes with some of the items I was thinking of taking.&nbsp; Tell me what you think.&nbsp; Are these just too athletic looking and will I be the crazy Canadian in the UK?</p> <p>Also, has anyone traveled in Scotland and London in early July? I am planning of taking jeans, will I be too hot </p>
