I hear you though on the pain of letting them go when they do work still, and their replacement may not be easy to find. Could you do something to change them up a bit? Remove the hardware, darken it to change the colour and shine,&nbsp; or cover it up with a kiltie fringe? At least that way you can wear them and feel a little newer (and after all they are this season's dark red...) while waiting on the perfect pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-should-i-keep-these-pumps#post-1347871 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 16:03:47 +0000 Sveta 1347871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deb, your experience is encouraging. Maybe this is my only chance to get pointy toe kitten heels which are comfortable for my feet? Need to ponder!<br />Thanks Laura.<br />Angie, it is a relief to hear :-)&nbsp; I think I will order them to Seattle Nordstrom. What do you think about these dressy boots - worth a try? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-should-i-keep-these-pumps#post-1347795 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 14:19:17 +0000 Angie 1347795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Earth Wedges are a lot more on trend.

I have a pair of their shoes:). </p> <p>Sveta, I love the colour and the shoe style is a bit of a staple. I find that look is generally always available...classic. But if they are not comfortable let them go:). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-should-i-keep-these-pumps#post-1347541 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 02:06:01 +0000 Sveta 1347541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Marianna, I think I order them - in all 3 colors :-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-should-i-keep-these-pumps#post-1347539 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 02:04:49 +0000 marianna 1347539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I don't have high arches, so maybe the Earth shoes will work well for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-should-i-keep-these-pumps#post-1347533 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 01:58:35 +0000 Sveta 1347533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Anna - do you know if they work for wider toe box? This is my usual problem with pointy toes: they pinch my toes :-(<br />Thanks Marianna. Do you have high arches? I do...so I am not sure if this is good or bad.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-should-i-keep-these-pumps#post-1347527 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 01:45:34 +0000 annagybe 1347527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You'd have to order, they're not in stock in Seattle in the snake<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/halogen-leah-leather-flat-women/3710001?origin=category-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=SNAKE+PRINT&amp;resultback=4271&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-browseresults-_-1_13_C">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ha.....alizedsort</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-should-i-keep-these-pumps#post-1347524 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 01:43:06 +0000 marianna 1347524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, Earth shoes have serious arch support in them. Not sure if that works for your feet? They never work for me… it's too much.&nbsp;Those wedges are really nice looking, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-should-i-keep-these-pumps#post-1347519 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 01:36:17 +0000 Sveta 1347519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Columbine and Ummlilla - thnak you.<br />Gigi, thanks for the link, looks interesting.<br />Suz, I wish you were right but when shoes are concerned I cannot leave it to chance (aka what they have in the store).<br />Angie, do these Earth wedges&nbsp;have potential you think (option of blue, black or burgundy)?<br />Also these boots - are they dressy enough? Black or brown for me?<br />I like these d'Orsay flats but not sure if pointy toe would work for me - they usually don't...but there is no harm in ordering, right?</p> <p>&lt;sigh&gt; I HATE shopping for shoes!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-should-i-keep-these-pumps#post-1347463 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 00:01:31 +0000 Suz 1347463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't wait to see your new fab shoes!!!

Have you considered a low heeled snake print pump? I know it's a different color entirely but a softer color might be nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-should-i-keep-these-pumps#post-1347403 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 22:50:37 +0000 columbine(erin) 1347403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not Angie but I like 'em hehe. But since they aren't comfy you need an update! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-should-i-keep-these-pumps#post-1347395 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 22:37:31 +0000 Sveta 1347395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am going through my fall footwear wardrobe trying to identify the holes (both wants and needs). I am not sure about these red patent Me Too pumps I got 3 years ago. They are not the most comfortable for me because I sized up a whole size because they were a bit tight in the front. Well, even with am insole it is not always easy to keep them on my feet - but they are not causing me pain or anything.<br />I will be looking for a better replacement for sure but the question is: do they still look OK with this type of toes and gold hardware&gt; My problem is that I only have one other pair of pumps (silver) so my business casual shoe wardrobe is pretty limited on the whole.<br />Angie, would you say these can be kept until I find a replacement or not? I like the color (it is more true in pic #2)&nbsp;but not sure if toe &nbsp;shape and heel are dated.<br />Thanks!</p>
