I thought their thing was that they made their shoes on lasts with wider fronts and narrower heels. I haven't tried one on in ages, and even then it was a boot where I don't care about heel slippage. I would need a medium for the bunion in front. </p> <p>Anyway, I think I am going to order the danskos and one of the sale colors of the Munro Jerrie. Hope one of them works out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-frumpy-dansko-smoking-slippers/page/2#post-1026900 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 18:32:38 +0000 Anonymous 1026900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you ever tried a Munro on before? The booties that were on sale at NAS were too big in the heel for me. I had tried them in a narrow size too. Front was too narrow and heel too big. </p> <p>If you do end up trying them please let us know! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-frumpy-dansko-smoking-slippers/page/2#post-1026895 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 18:22:16 +0000 JG 1026895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fingers crossed for you!

I totally see why you want to show a bit more skin - I have the same feelings when I wear higher vamped shoes. I do think one more roll would help, but brrrrrr!</p> <p>I do not care for ballet flats and there is no way they would stay on my feet anyway. </p> <p>By the way, I believe Earthies are fairly wide. I like my Riekers, but they have a very thin sole. I love the picture you pinned with the blazer. If I could find all of those pieces I would be one happy camper! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-frumpy-dansko-smoking-slippers/page/2#post-1026655 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 14:19:18 +0000 Irene 1026655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, after seeing it in this last picture, I think the printed version could work.</p> <p>And I understand you so, so well. There is a reason I wear canvas sneakers in Spring and Fall. I have no actual shoes that work for my feet, except for a pair of too flat Mary Janes and dressy mary janes that are not good for walking. And I don't like the slipper/loafer trend since my love for ballet flats comes from a very, very, very long time and I'm not sure it will ever fade. Shame on me... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-frumpy-dansko-smoking-slippers/page/2#post-1026608 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 13:23:04 +0000 Janet 1026608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, the black ones look decidedly unfab to my eye, but the patterned ones, well...maybe? I'd have to see them on. </p> <p>Flat shoes with this kind of sole are very tricky. The devil is in the details, and one slight difference between one cut and another seems to be all it takes to cross over the line to frumpville. Years ago I had an otherwise adorable pair of green loafers but I couldn't get past the crepey sole and finally gave them away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-frumpy-dansko-smoking-slippers/page/2#post-1026606 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 13:14:50 +0000 Diana 1026606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jeanie, thank you for the pic! They do look much better in the print on the foot. And I do really like the snake print - haven't seen many dark snake prints around. </p> <p>Rae, I've heard that Earthies have really high arches. They're likely to be too high arched for my flat feet, and possibly too deep as well. But I agree they look good! </p> <p>Traci, I'd be open to wearing them with anything, although I would have to see how well secret socks do under them. I'd really love to wear them with a bit of bare ankle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-frumpy-dansko-smoking-slippers/page/2#post-1026550 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 11:28:54 +0000 Traci 1026550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The printed danskos look good enough in the print to make it worth a try on your feet. &nbsp;I'm drawn to the calf hair pair. &nbsp;I think the smooth black leather just does them in. &nbsp;</p> <p>Would you wear these with skirts and dresses and tights? &nbsp;Or would they be a jeans and pants only shoe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-frumpy-dansko-smoking-slippers/page/2#post-1026470 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 05:50:14 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1026470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Rae that they look a lot better on in the pic above. I also think my vote was skewed by the black one.

I don't think these Danskos would improve anything, and I'm in the camp that finds them somewhat too clog-like to give the cool edge I think you're after. You could trying rolling your jeans a little longer or a little shorter, and I think that would do the trick--it would either show a little more ankle or none. That said, I still like the outfit as you wore it! Sassy chic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-frumpy-dansko-smoking-slippers#post-1026403 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 02:52:36 +0000 annagybe 1026403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find this brand VERY comfortable.
