I mean really. We have the brand, the stores... surely actually providing the product shouldn’t be so hard? Even if it was an order in thing because they wanted to stock less. Gah. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/amazingly-happy-feet-in-the-heat/page/3#post-1930312 Thu, 21 Jun 2018 00:01:31 +0000 Carla 1930312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz - you crack me up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/amazingly-happy-feet-in-the-heat/page/3#post-1930310 Wed, 20 Jun 2018 23:42:23 +0000 Angie 1930310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, <b>3Style</b>. Thanks for explaining - which you did so well. Maybe you need a heavier platform as you suggested, and more arch support? Best of luck. I GET high maintenance feet - you have my empathy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/amazingly-happy-feet-in-the-heat/page/3#post-1930303 Wed, 20 Jun 2018 22:27:54 +0000 3style 1930303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, What I’m trying to describe isn’t exactly foot pronation. In normal walking, the last thing which happens before your foot leaves the ground is a hard push-off with the big toe. Normally the big toe is immediately in front of the heel when this happens. In the Wendy, something about the footbed causes my big toe to twist my ankle as I’m pushing off, causing me to effectively walk pigeon toed. I wish I knew what exactly was the source of the problem. So I’d know how to avoid it in future. I’m thinking that something about how the weight of the shoe is distributed is causing this. I’m doing much better with the Bella Vita Luc which has a much heavier platform. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/amazingly-happy-feet-in-the-heat/page/3#post-1930289 Wed, 20 Jun 2018 21:06:12 +0000 Angie 1930289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>mntsofthemoon</b>, I'll be curious to know which size of Wendy works best, and hope that you're not in-between sizes. I use body glide on my pinky toes before I pop on the silicone toe protector. Works like a charm.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p> <p><b>Linder51</b>, we're absolutely&nbsp;entitled&nbsp;to our sartorial preferences - after all, style and fashion are very visual things. You don't fancy the look of Naturalizers, and I do. That's 100% and we can all live in peace. It's all good because it's horses for courses :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/amazingly-happy-feet-in-the-heat/page/3#post-1930268 Wed, 20 Jun 2018 19:23:10 +0000 mtnsofthemoon 1930268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the suggestion Angie!&nbsp; I need those toe protectors too!&nbsp; Great recommendations.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/amazingly-happy-feet-in-the-heat/page/3#post-1930261 Wed, 20 Jun 2018 18:48:17 +0000 Anonymous 1930261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boy, some people are so sensitive. &nbsp;I loved my morfar&nbsp;who is long gone. &nbsp;All I said was the "brand" says "granny to me" I am not old enough to be a granny and I sure don't want to dress like one.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/amazingly-happy-feet-in-the-heat/page/3#post-1930249 Wed, 20 Jun 2018 17:14:31 +0000 Angie 1930249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Gail</b>, I echo <b>Suz </b>on the silicone protecters.

That is what I use when one arises. I sometimes get one on my right foot.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>LisaP</b>'s right about Naturalizer's offerings in Canada. They don't have the full range of styles or the more interesting colours. It's a shame. I'd have loved to have tried a few of the options I've seen on the forum. Goodness, maybe I will have to resort to that common Canadian criminal activity -- shoe smuggling?&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/amazingly-happy-feet-in-the-heat/page/3#post-1930239 Wed, 20 Jun 2018 15:54:18 +0000 Angie 1930239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>mtnsofthemoon</b>, thanks for the update.

Funny because the Simonette Narrow fits like a dream.&nbsp; I can walk miles in those (big smile).&nbsp; Looking forward to the Wendy fitting as my feet are becoming more and more difficult to please (sad face).&nbsp; I am depending more and more on your recommendations Angie.&nbsp; Thanks.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/amazingly-happy-feet-in-the-heat/page/3#post-1930228 Wed, 20 Jun 2018 15:46:06 +0000 Angie 1930228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>The Cat</b>, your vacation shoes sound wonderful. Lots of colours.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Bijou</b>, I've duplicated them already! In the US, pets go in the cargo pet area too - unless they are very small like Sam. He's only 6 pounds on a very heavy day, and fits in a carrier under the seat.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Gail</b>,<b></b> white shoes are a Trendy Classic. I've always worn them . You need a white bag or top to wear with them to get you over the hurdle. Thanks for the Wendy validation too. Glad they're working for your fussy feet.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/amazingly-happy-feet-in-the-heat/page/3#post-1930161 Wed, 20 Jun 2018 13:09:15 +0000 Bijou 1930161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the new photo of you and Sam! How wonderful that Sam can travel on the plane with you. In Australia they put pets in the cargo area in a cage - which is not nice at all. It is always a great find to get a pair of shoes that you can walk so well in that are not sneakers. I would be duplicating those shoes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/amazingly-happy-feet-in-the-heat/page/3#post-1930133 Wed, 20 Jun 2018 11:47:26 +0000 MISSPRINT 1930133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your look is nice!

Can't imagine walking all day in <b>Suz'</b>s sandals, but glad for her than she can! </p> <p>It's funny how we each have such different feelings about particular styles. Interesting that Naturalizer doesn't carry the full range in Canada. I've been wearing this brand for a long time and they used to be more conservative, but in the past few years they have really modernized, at least here in the U.S., without losing their comfort level.&nbsp;I bought those same white sandals <b>Angie</b> has, even in her exact size! They remind me of&nbsp; leather huaraches that were in style when I was in my 20's, as part of what we called "hippie" style then, now it would be called "boho". &nbsp;It feels like a very youthful, casual, and retro style to me. On the other hand although I have no children I'm the right age to be a granny..so maybe&nbsp; that's why they look like granny shoes to <b>Linder51s. </b>:-) <b></b></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/amazingly-happy-feet-in-the-heat/page/2#post-1929886 Tue, 19 Jun 2018 17:18:03 +0000 Angie 1929886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Thistle</b>, you said it.</p> <p><b>Joyce B</b>, if shoes are your thing - milk it.
