Love the color! I agree with Lisa P in that current depends more or less on how your wear them, as well as your style and taste. They remind me very much of Prada/Escada. In fact, last two years I saw this style of shoe in velvet and worn frequently with cropped flares, skirts, and dresses. Very trendy and fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-are-these-shoes-still-current-or-dated#post-1995989 Fri, 25 Jan 2019 18:53:58 +0000 Katerina 1995989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all very much for looking and for the advise.&nbsp;</p> <p>Jenni NZ, thank you, it is very interesting.&nbsp;</p> <p>LisaP, you are right. I like the retro look.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-are-these-shoes-still-current-or-dated#post-1995911 Fri, 25 Jan 2019 14:10:38 +0000 Anonymous 1995911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me , it's less about how current they may or may not be , and more about your affinity for that particular look. &nbsp;They do have that retro Prada/Miu Miu look, and now that you mention the Escada name ....it makes sense. &nbsp;Not my cup of tea personally, but they absolutely work with your ladylike retro European style. &nbsp;Shoes seem to be all over the place right now - anything goes if you want it to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-are-these-shoes-still-current-or-dated#post-1995878 Fri, 25 Jan 2019 10:26:20 +0000 Mirjana 1995878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them Katerina and vote for burgundy very versatile believe me. Maybe the reason is that I like burgundy especially patent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-are-these-shoes-still-current-or-dated#post-1995876 Fri, 25 Jan 2019 09:58:23 +0000 Jenni NZ 1995876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember one of our fancier shoe companies here showing a lot of heels exactly like this a couple of years ago maybe? They could be 2 years old. I think plenty current enough and they will be lovely on you. If I could find any pics I will post them for you- not sure (as probably already off their website as sold out). They&nbsp; called it the flared heel.</p> <p>ETA: I can't seem to paste the pics, they won't save, but here are some links.&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.mipiaci.co.nz/baltic-high-heel">https://www.mipiaci.co.nz/baltic-high-heel</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.mipiaci.co.nz/shorty-mid-heel-238172">https://www.mipiaci.co.nz/shorty-mid-heel-238172</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.mipiaci.co.nz/tamara-high-heel">https://www.mipiaci.co.nz/tamara-high-heel</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.mipiaci.co.nz/sylvester-high-heel-233717">https://www.mipiaci.co.nz/sylv.....eel-233717</a></p> <p>They may be even less than 2 years.

The way you plan to wear them sounds perfect--and you actually wear those things, so the shoes wouldn't be for a fantasy life. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>But whether or not they are "current" is a different question.

I love the suede pumps - elegant, yet comfy. And the boots are just SUPER. </p> <p>Shevia, these are Escada. I don’t think they are actually from the 90s, because this outlet does sell out collections from the previous season and older seasons, but not that old. Normally, the items are from between two and five years back. These, however, I am not sure.... They look 90s inspired. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-are-these-shoes-still-current-or-dated#post-1995832 Fri, 25 Jan 2019 04:03:28 +0000 Jaime 1995832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything is context. So what Jessikams said. Are they 90s Prada? I would wear them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-are-these-shoes-still-current-or-dated#post-1995830 Fri, 25 Jan 2019 03:46:59 +0000 Jessikams 1995830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look 90s to me, which means they look current depending on how you style them! The shiny finish is pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-are-these-shoes-still-current-or-dated#post-1995825 Fri, 25 Jan 2019 02:09:14 +0000 Carla 1995825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! Yes! These would be so good with wide leg cropped trousers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-are-these-shoes-still-current-or-dated#post-1995811 Fri, 25 Jan 2019 00:28:26 +0000 Anonymous 1995811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they’re pretty &amp; feel plenty current. Rock them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-are-these-shoes-still-current-or-dated#post-1995808 Fri, 25 Jan 2019 00:00:02 +0000 Bijou 1995808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these shoes very much and have some Paul Green pumps and boots with similar block heels. The block heels are a bit retro being 90's influenced, but given lots of things from the 90's are back (ribbed knits), then I think they look current. The real bonus is that the block heel is very comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-are-these-shoes-still-current-or-dated#post-1995784 Thu, 24 Jan 2019 22:48:58 +0000 karen13 1995784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look very now - the more trapezoidal shape of the heel looks current, compared to the straighter block heel of the 90s. The shoes below are a pair of brown pumps I wore in the 90s in my corporate life that I updated with burgundy Tarrago leather paint a year or so ago. <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-loft-lace-sleeve-top-shoe-dye-diy">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....oe-dye-diy</a>&nbsp;They work but definitely don't look as fresh as the one you posted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-are-these-shoes-still-current-or-dated#post-1995765 Thu, 24 Jan 2019 22:19:51 +0000 mtnsofthemoon 1995765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear shoes almost exactly like this to work all the time = business/professional environment.&nbsp; I wear them with pants, dresses and skirts.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-are-these-shoes-still-current-or-dated#post-1995746 Thu, 24 Jan 2019 20:56:57 +0000 Lesley 1995746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are very current! They have exactly that 90s vibe that is right back in right now, with the chunky heel and square toe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-are-these-shoes-still-current-or-dated#post-1995732 Thu, 24 Jan 2019 20:22:55 +0000 Katerina 1995732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for responding. I have found a pair like this in a designer outlet and I am tempted. The heels are exactly the height I like and I think they would work with wide leg trousers or bootcuts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-are-these-shoes-still-current-or-dated#post-1995727 Thu, 24 Jan 2019 20:17:30 +0000 rachylou 1995727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not at all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-are-these-shoes-still-current-or-dated#post-1995725 Thu, 24 Jan 2019 20:10:38 +0000 Kate 1995725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they’re beautiful, and would wear them in a heartbeat. They don’t look dated to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-are-these-shoes-still-current-or-dated#post-1995723 Thu, 24 Jan 2019 20:08:38 +0000 Helena 1995723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think they look dated - I think the blocky heel makes them current with a retro touch. I'm not good on current things though so take that with a grain of salt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-are-these-shoes-still-current-or-dated#post-1995713 Thu, 24 Jan 2019 19:46:57 +0000 Sal 1995713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them - and would wear them for work in a dressier place then I work now. </p> <p>Nice to see you posting again Katerina. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-are-these-shoes-still-current-or-dated#post-1995712 Thu, 24 Jan 2019 19:45:18 +0000 lyn67 1995712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have some Zara booties from dec 2017 almost the same (color and patent:-)) with the same heel and toe shape. I still love them, wore them proud this winter, too-and hope will feel like&nbsp; wearing them&nbsp; &nbsp;many other seasons to come! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-are-these-shoes-still-current-or-dated#post-1995708 Thu, 24 Jan 2019 19:32:57 +0000 Katerina 1995708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dear Fabbers,<br /> I wonder whether shoes like these are still current or do they look dated?<br /> I cannot figure from which period they could be....<br /> I like the chunky flared heels and the almost square wide shape, but I have not seen any such style in any collections now, hence my question.<br /> What do you guys think? </p>
