I like the white sole which gives them a look similar to converses. I would wear these with a striped t-shirt and the jeans that you were wearing in your WIW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-others-keep-or-no#post-1902851 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 23:12:01 +0000 Angie 1902851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Cindy,</b> try rolling your hems.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-others-keep-or-no#post-1902841 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 22:29:04 +0000 cindysmith 1902841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I'll get some pics when I get home from work.

(And this is a personal thing, but I have a love/hate thing with the calf hair. I think it looks cool but then when I had a pair of calf hair shoes I never found them quite sleek enough to wear.)</p> <p>But again, it's the ankle fit that would be the stumbling block for me. I recently moved and was pretty ruthless in purging. These would have gone, based on your comments. </p> <p>ETA: well, just read you're going to keep them. I'll check back in to see if you find a way to style and wear them (and I hope you do!) or if we'll have a "Goodbye, hairy hybrid shoes" post in the future. :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-others-keep-or-no#post-1902741 Fri, 30 Mar 2018 13:16:53 +0000 Molly Mac 1902741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought a similar pair of black leather ones but ended up returning them. I tried them with multiple pants of different lengths and just couldn't make them work for me. I have a pair of Converse high tops that I much prefer. I think the fact that the Converse fit tighter around the ankle makes all the difference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-others-keep-or-no#post-1902549 Thu, 29 Mar 2018 19:06:32 +0000 Katerina 1902549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are so nice! Maybe another chance? I echo Lisa P.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-others-keep-or-no#post-1902544 Thu, 29 Mar 2018 18:51:43 +0000 cindysmith 1902544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I think part of the problem IS that I haven't worn cropped/cuffed pants much. How on earth do you remember little things like that for so many clients and members here? I'm seriously impressed I'll try cuffing some pants with these; I tried it at work with my higher shaft ankle boots and didn't mind it at all.</p> <p>Sara, they are quite loose around my ankles. Which makes them a bit weird because they're too short for my skinny jeans to fit inside so everything feels bunched up there. So Angie's definitely onto something--i need to play with pants length.</p> <p>Jessiekams, I do like the idea of a column of black as you &amp; Cardiff girl suggested and I have plenty of black in my closet. I don't normally wear all black from head to toe (apparently, I've scared people witless in a.a. meetings when I was a stagehand who had to wear all black and work/combat boots; and always loved when dinner breaks coincided with a meeting but I always forgot to remove my pocketknife before entering the meeting room). I'll definitely try all black (minus the pocketknife, obviously LOL). I do love the idea of the shoes (I am a sucker for haircalf), and they're aerosoles so they're quite comfortable.</p> <p>Lisa, jeans are problematic with these shoes because of the width around the ankle and the height. The jeans just don't stack well with these. Maybe if I rolled them up into a cuff. I'm definitely going to try leggings with a longer tunic with these shoes.</p> <p>Thank you, everyone, for the ideas! I'm going to keep the shoes and try some of these suggestions out because the thought of donating this pair hurts me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-others-keep-or-no#post-1902534 Thu, 29 Mar 2018 18:30:19 +0000 Sara L. 1902534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they're cute and I agree with lisa p's suggestions for styling.&nbsp; Do they fit tight around your ankle?&nbsp; If they don't, I can see how they would be harder to style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-others-keep-or-no#post-1902532 Thu, 29 Mar 2018 18:24:47 +0000 Anonymous 1902532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this style a lot, and have tried a few pair on over the past year. I think they would be easy to style - anything from leggings to jeans, to cuffed khakis ...even a cute casual skirt.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-others-keep-or-no#post-1902526 Thu, 29 Mar 2018 18:10:36 +0000 Cardiff girl 1902526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them and flats are always useful.Do you wear a lot of black? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-others-keep-or-no#post-1902506 Thu, 29 Mar 2018 17:29:50 +0000 Angie 1902506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it because you don't wear cropped pant<b></b>s,<b></b><b> Cindy</b>?<b></b>&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-others-keep-or-no#post-1902501 Thu, 29 Mar 2018 17:17:22 +0000 Jessikams 1902501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I don’t know if YOU love them but I do! I imagine they’d be super easy to style in the same way I use my hi-top maroon converse, or slip-on Vince sneakers. I find that a dark sneaker like this can be part of a dark column of color, but the sporty white sole can echo white banding or stripes elsewhere in an outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-others-keep-or-no#post-1902500 Thu, 29 Mar 2018 17:13:32 +0000 cindysmith 1902500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the idea of these sneaker hybrids. Part sneaker, part Chelsea boot in black haircalf. However, I'm struggling to style them to make them feel like they belong in my closet. I'm wondering if maybe it isn't time to donate them.</p> <p>I either need<br /> A) styling suggestions<br /> Or<br /> B) convince me to donate them</p> <p>As we inch closer to completing our house, I become more aware of how much of a pain it's going to be to move all our stuff. I've started slowly yet ruthlessly purging, and not just clothes/shoes/etcetera. It's all getting a bit of the Kondo treatment: do I love it, do I use/need it, does it spark joy or add value? I need y'all to help me decide what to do with these shoes </p>
