I think a half insole may be a good idea for the Thelmas, I will try that. I also like heels, just not in the winter.<br /> So far I am keeping both pairs and will decide when it gets a bit warmer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ash-thelma-advice#post-1171529 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 16:25:39 +0000 Andrea W 1171529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have these wedge Ash sneakers and they are fine for me (although I tend to wear heels more than flats most times). &nbsp;The leather is soft on the foot (worn with socks) but after a few hours wear while shopping they can rub a little on the underneath at the front of the foot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ash-thelma-advice#post-1170976 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 01:24:39 +0000 Joyce B 1170976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Karymk. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ash-thelma-advice#post-1170757 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 21:59:46 +0000 karymk 1170757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry for the late response THistle. &nbsp;I just wear a sort of thick ankle sock tht doesn't show. &nbsp;I don't think that area will budge due to the thickness of the rubber. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ash-thelma-advice#post-1168360 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 14:54:20 +0000 Joyce B 1168360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are right, Thistle. I will make sure that if I keep them they will get a lot of wear. I will hold on to them and test drive them well. If they don't work out they will go back. The good thing is, the return policy is 90 days so I will definitely do my homework well before deciding to keep them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ash-thelma-advice#post-1168327 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 13:41:08 +0000 Thistle 1168327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to say if you have to wear such specific socks, I am not sure these are going to see a lot of use. You may have more tolerance for fussy footwear than I do, but from everything I have heard this sounds like you love the look and are trying to make them work. In my experience, I "get" them to work and then never wear them. Of course, YMMV. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ash-thelma-advice#post-1168321 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 13:28:36 +0000 Joyce B 1168321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What socks do you wear with the gold Genials, Karymk? I have been wearing them at home with thin anklets with minimal stitching over the toe because I have a wide foot and if I go with socks that are any thicker they rub my toe. Do you think the Genials stretch a bit over time in the spot that rubs your toe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ash-thelma-advice#post-1168232 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 04:05:14 +0000 karymk 1168232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the gold ones too. You're right, the toe box is narrow on these. &nbsp;I have to wear a good sock or else it abrades a toe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ash-thelma-advice#post-1167605 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 11:56:22 +0000 Joyce B 1167605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, cciele. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ash-thelma-advice#post-1167551 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 06:13:30 +0000 cciele 1167551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zapotee has the Thelmas I think -- but she can manage the heel.</p> <p>I like the Genials quite a bit -- it's a great, every day height for me.</p> <p>Good luck figuring out which works. Both styles are great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ash-thelma-advice#post-1167274 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 01:15:40 +0000 Joyce B 1167274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Karymk. The Genials do have a better heel.<br /> Now I have both, the Genials and the Thelmas. The Thelmas are wider so they may be better for a wide foot and the heel of the Genials is very comfortable but the toe box is a bit narrow... They should combine them to make the perfect pair!<br /> So far I think I can manage the Thelmas and I am working on the Genials to see what to do. I got the pretty gold ones.<br /> I need to road test some more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ash-thelma-advice#post-1167267 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 01:08:24 +0000 karymk 1167267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the genials. They are high enough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ash-thelma-advice#post-1167243 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 00:53:00 +0000 Joyce B 1167243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Rabbit. Those Mia wedges look great and the price is unbelievable, I will check them out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ash-thelma-advice#post-1167053 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 20:47:22 +0000 rabbit 1167053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know these shoes, so hopefully someone has experience with them. &nbsp;I have this&nbsp;wedge sneaker with a 2.5" heel height:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/MIA-Womens-Crush-Fashion-Sneaker/dp/B0096TKH68">http://www.amazon.com/MIA-Wome.....B0096TKH68</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>For me they&nbsp;are good for occasions where I'm sitting a fair amount&nbsp;or spending time in a car, not for walking for a full&nbsp;day since although the ankle support, &nbsp;stability, and cushioning&nbsp;is good, my toes tend to get a little&nbsp;cramped up after a few hours&nbsp;- this is because of the front of my feet kind of swelling I think after walking for a long time. &nbsp;</p> <p>So I think for a higher heel you would kind of need to know your own feet, and if you get any pain in that height in booties or other closed toe/closed ankle/otherwise stable shoes. &nbsp;It may be that if the shoe is really well made or flexes this won't be a problem however.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ash-thelma-advice#post-1167047 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 20:44:07 +0000 Joyce B 1167047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, AG. I also ordered (again) the Genials in two sizes. Last time I tried them they were too small so I ordered in two different sizes this time, we will see.<br /> I hope Rae and cciele see my post, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ash-thelma-advice#post-1167031 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 20:30:28 +0000 catgirl 1167031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the Ash genial and the heel height is much more comfy for me (I tried the Thelma's too!). The toe area got too squished for me at that angle. Rae and cciele have them also! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ash-thelma-advice#post-1167028 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 20:27:00 +0000 Joyce B 1167028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Rachy. I am generally OK with high heels most of the year except in Winter when I only want very comfortable shoes with a good grip, so right now I don't know about the heels.<br /> I think I will have to test drive them a little before I decide. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ash-thelma-advice#post-1167015 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 20:03:45 +0000 rachylou 1167015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3 and 3/4" is pretty high, even in a wedge sneaker. I don't have any Ash shoes, so I don't know about particulars. I'd wear this heel height to the office - because mostly I'd be sitting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ash-thelma-advice#post-1166940 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 18:39:31 +0000 Joyce B 1166940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll bring up the question again to see if I get lucky and get a few answers this time.<br /> So far the answer is no answer... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ash-thelma-advice#post-1166297 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 01:59:20 +0000 Joyce B 1166297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does anyone have these shoes? The heel is 3 3/4". I bought them but I would like to hear from others if you have found them comfortable. I am thinking maybe they need a half insole in the front. Or should I just give up and get myself some Ash Genials?<br /> Heel height is hard to gauge for me because in the Winter I only seek comfortable shoes but when Spring comes I love high heels.<br /> Any opinions or advice will be appreciated. </p>
