This is how wideleg pants should fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-foot-eating-wide-legs#post-915796 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 23:33:14 +0000 Aida 915796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Totally the look. Pointy shoes go a long way with these, but in sandals that doesn't sound as feasible. Also as Denise pointed out, less platform will also help especially if you've got higher heels underneath; it'll arch your foot and make it even more foot eating, yes, but you'll avoid odd folds at the hem. I have a few pairs of this type of pant and love them, but I do have a strong 70s streak in me. For me, I wear either high heels to completely hide my feet, platform sandals to show a little peek of toe, or very pointy heels peeking out from underneath. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-foot-eating-wide-legs#post-915771 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 23:18:09 +0000 Anonymous 915771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these as they are.

I say go for it! <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-foot-eating-wide-legs#post-915717 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 22:40:56 +0000 cinnamon fern 915717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hmmm ... leaning towards keep as is, then. &nbsp;I do love the 70s as long as it's done in a kind of minimal way.<br /><br />Peri - the pants are from Uniqlo:<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.uniqlo.com/us/store/lifewear/women-linen-blended-wide-leg-jeans/076372001-66-028?ref=search%2Flinen#BVRRWidgetID">http://www.uniqlo.com/us/store.....8?ref=sear</a><br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-foot-eating-wide-legs#post-915712 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 22:36:39 +0000 catgirl 915712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think this is the correct length - I remember Angie saying that people can admire your shoes when you sit or walk. &nbsp;YLF! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-foot-eating-wide-legs#post-915699 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 22:18:06 +0000 DonnaF 915699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This is what PPL looks like if you are wearing heels.&nbsp; My toes always stick out a bit even in wider leg pants because I wear a fairly low heel height that makes my feet effectively longer in front.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-foot-eating-wide-legs#post-915698 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 22:17:01 +0000 Peri 915698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely love foot eating pants! As most know of my foot/shoe issues by now, anything that covers my running shoes as much as possible is a win for me. </p> <p>Plus, I think you look really cute in them. And I would love to know what they are. Foot eating half linen jeans...please tell me where to buy them! Serious request...I want some! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-foot-eating-wide-legs#post-915674 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:49:26 +0000 K. Period. 915674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love (!!!) these shoe eating pants! I think this is the way wide legs are supposed to look. Of course, I always wear them with pointy toes or peep toes, so that my shoes can peep out and flirt with the onlooker. &nbsp;Maybe hem them slightly to show a bit more shoe, but only a tiny bit. &nbsp;They look gorgeous in 1 and 2 as Denise said.&nbsp;&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-foot-eating-wide-legs#post-915673 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:48:02 +0000 unfrumped 915673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I actually think I would hem them and am intrigued by the idea that of course you could get a tiny hem up in front and leave the back longer. I mean they are actually dragging on the floor, so the idea that being 1 mm off the floor is the goal&nbsp;is not really practical. You would have to have a Vulcan mind-meld with the tailor (or do it yourself) to be sure they got it right. This of course if you've got a target shoe--hard to mix shoes for PPL's. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-foot-eating-wide-legs#post-915616 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:44:10 +0000 CocoLion 915616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Platform shoes contribute to this look. &nbsp;I think it looks fine, except from the side, where it almost looks like the pants are smaller than the circumference of the shoe, that you might trip? &nbsp;If you wore these with a shoe with less of a platform, that might help. &nbsp;Or, get them hemmed a bit shorter in front as others have suggested. &nbsp;Or leave as is. &nbsp;In pictures 1 and 2 they look amazing! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-foot-eating-wide-legs#post-915614 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:38:40 +0000 texstyle 915614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think they look pretty great and agree that it is the style.&nbsp;Unless they really bother you to wear (uncomfortable) I think I'd leave them as is and wear those long legs! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-foot-eating-wide-legs#post-915610 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:33:06 +0000 Echo 915610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree that this is the look. I fear shortening the pants will make them look too high, almost no matter how small the hem. Wide legs are supposed to almost touch the floor, and when the foot is visible, they look too short. One simply has to decide whether they like shoe-eating pants. The only alternative in my mind would be to narrow them, but that would completely change the style of the pants. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-foot-eating-wide-legs#post-915607 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:28:29 +0000 Diana 915607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have poison eye for the shoe-eating pants look.&nbsp; However, my personal preferences aside, it's not a faux pas.&nbsp; I don't really think there is a solution besides narrowing the pants leg.&nbsp; I would not shorten as then you'd have high water wide leg pants, which are much, much worse.&nbsp; The length is correct, this is just the style and you have to decide whether you like it or not.&nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-foot-eating-wide-legs#post-915601 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:25:35 +0000 Janet 915601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What Ceit said... However, if you were to have them hemmed, you can get them hemmed at an angle, so the front of the hem is slightly higher than the back. That way the back of the hem still hits just above the floor for PPL but the front of your shoe/foot will be slightly more visible.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-foot-eating-wide-legs#post-915597 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:22:31 +0000 Liz A. 915597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What Ceit said... it's a look, maybe not your look, but a very 70s look none-the-less. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-foot-eating-wide-legs#post-915596 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:22:02 +0000 cinnamon fern 915596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, guys! &nbsp;Suz, Mia, you are too sweet. &nbsp;I need all the leg-lengthening I can get.<br /><br />But ... no consensus ... are they too long or not? &nbsp;And would shortening them half an inch make them stop eating my feet? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-foot-eating-wide-legs#post-915593 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:18:30 +0000 Anonymous 915593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What Sona said. &nbsp;The third pic makes them look like they need a hem. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-foot-eating-wide-legs#post-915591 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:17:50 +0000 Anonymous 915591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that is the look, isn't it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-foot-eating-wide-legs#post-915588 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:15:01 +0000 Suz 915588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well, I think they look amazing on you!
