My local Nordstrom store happens to have a Rodney flat in my size so I will check that out before ordering anything. It's somewhat similar to the toe box of the Sally so that my help me determine if either style would work for me. &nbsp;Sam Edelman does very pretty and stylish shoes for a reasonable price point.&nbsp;<br />Thanks Again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-looking-for-sexy-comfy-flats#post-2009811 Mon, 04 Mar 2019 15:41:55 +0000 catherine 2009811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not Angie, but I like Vaneli flats. I think they run about 1/2 size small, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-looking-for-sexy-comfy-flats#post-2009802 Mon, 04 Mar 2019 15:02:48 +0000 Angie 2009802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They fit my narrow feet perfectly. Enough padding for me, and extremely pretty. Comfy because I don't need arch support. I would not recommend them for feet that are remotely high volume. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-looking-for-sexy-comfy-flats#post-2009786 Mon, 04 Mar 2019 13:40:18 +0000 April 2009786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Always looking for a pretty flat and will be watching this thread! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-looking-for-sexy-comfy-flats#post-2009660 Sun, 03 Mar 2019 21:32:23 +0000 Runs With Scissors 2009660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not Angie, but I tried some of the same shoes she did, since we seem to have similarly shaped low-volume feet. I also wear a size 11, and have long toes, both of which can come into play when shoe-shopping.&nbsp; In the past I've stuck with round-toed ballet flats, but wanted to try something a little bit more polished and modern.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I tried the <b>Sam Edelman Sally</b> in two colors, lilac suede and white smooth leather.&nbsp; The lilac was an instant return -- once it was in my hands, I realized it was a brighter lilac than I wanted -- more of a "pop of color" whereas I had been thinking about using lilac in a more neutral way.&nbsp; Kind of like a variant of blush.&nbsp; It also pinched my toes.&nbsp; The white color actually fit better -- my outer toes felt ever so slightly cramped, but I felt they would break in easily.</p> <p>However, I ultimate sent back the white Sally in&nbsp;favor of the <b>Sam Edelman Rodney.&nbsp;</b>It just fit a tiny bit better, and I liked the way the horizontal line created by the d'Orsay style broke up the length of my foot. To me, Rodney reads as slightly less dressy than Sally, and given that I have a pretty casual life, that was okay by me. I did like Sally a lot, and it was a hard call. Both styles have some light cushioning, but not like you'd find in&nbsp; true "comfort brands".&nbsp; I've added a photo of Sally (left) and Rodney on my feet -- took this shot when I was trying to decide which to keep!</p> <p>Instead of the lilac Sally, I went with the <b>Frye Regina</b> in lilac.&nbsp; It is much more muted, and I've been surprised how good it looks with a wide range of colors -- navy, gray to black, burgundies ...&nbsp; The Regina is less pointed than Sally or Rodney, and that and the less-polished look of the leather also seems more casual. I find them really comfortable, but the foot bed isn't particularly padded.</p> <p>I also tried and liked a few other styles of pointed flats.&nbsp; <b>Calvin Klein Ghita</b> is one Angie also tried and liked in white, but chose Sam Edelman Sally over that one.&nbsp; I got the Ghita in black -- black is my "no brainer" color for shoes because there is a lot of it in my wardrobe and I have dark hair.&nbsp; It has less toe coverage, but just enough to cover my "toe cleavage" and it doesn't feel sloppy on my foot, the way many open shoes (all flats, really) can.&nbsp; I also got the <b>Naturalizer Samantha</b> in a couple of colors -- it just fits my foot amazingly well.&nbsp; I noticed in the reviews that some people complained that the top of the shoe creased and then pinched, but on me the top ends right at my toe joints -- no creasing.&nbsp; Like Regina, I think Samantha looks more casual, possibly because it covers more of the foot?</p> <p>Finally, I tried the <b>Frye Sienna</b>, which is probably the most like Sally.&nbsp; Unfortunately I fell in love with the one with the criss-cross ankle straps but only one of the two straps is adjustable.&nbsp; Like most shoes with straps, I need to tighten them to the max to get good fit -- one baggy strap and one fitted strap was a bad look!&nbsp; The rest of the shoe fit well, and I could see trying a version of this style without straps in the future: like most Frye shoes, the leather was just beautiful.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-looking-for-sexy-comfy-flats#post-2009466 Sun, 03 Mar 2019 05:09:19 +0000 Gaby Meyers 2009466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Angie<br />I'm interested in ordering the Sally flats by Sam Edelman in red.<br />Can you tell me if there is much padding in the footbed and if you needed to order a half size up since they are very pointy?<br />Thanks! </p>
