Much love to both of you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-flatsloafers-help-me-choose#post-1709805 Sun, 07 Aug 2016 14:31:36 +0000 Joyce B 1709805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you are keeping the best ones. The only thing is, on shoes for Fall, you never really know exactly how they fit until Fall arrives and your feet are not swollen anymore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-flatsloafers-help-me-choose#post-1709494 Sat, 06 Aug 2016 21:51:30 +0000 Anonymous 1709494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad you are keeping the Kate. &nbsp;They are my favorite of the three. &nbsp;Yay for you. &nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-flatsloafers-help-me-choose#post-1709458 Sat, 06 Aug 2016 20:19:52 +0000 Colette 1709458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to have checked out for a while, Ginger became very ill and needed my full attention. Thankfully she started to feel a little better yesterday and today she seems to have her spunk and appetite back. &lt;Insert a very big sigh of relief!&gt;</p> <p>I wanted to thank you all for your input, I found it very helpful as always. I agree the <u>Marc Fishe</u>r are the most classic style, and I like them for that and don't like them for that. Not sure if that makes any sense. I was not totally in love with the metal bar across the top but I gave them a shot because you never know. They are the most comfortable of the three out of the box, of course. The <u>Kate Spade</u> are next most comfortable. I really like this shoe. It's definitely the most polished and that appeals to me. And while I'm not usually a trendy person, I love the <u>Paul Green</u>, they were one of a few NAS wildcards for me this year. So, I'm definitely <u></u>keeping the Kate Spade <u></u>and considering keeping the Paul Green. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-flatsloafers-help-me-choose#post-1706989 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 16:05:47 +0000 Jane 1706989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with echo and Susie - I would go for Kate and / or Paul. Kate looks polished and dressy. Paul looks modern and fresh. I find loafers can be quite constricting around the width of the foot and so I would just be certain they would be comfy. Or don't need to walk too far! To me, the Mark ones look very classic.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-flatsloafers-help-me-choose#post-1706885 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 13:22:54 +0000 Susie 1706885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I echo Echo, exactly! I would actually be tempted by both- Kate for dressier work outfits and the PG for casual weekends. Yet Kate would add some polish to casual outfits so, for me, would be more versatile if I had to choose one.</p> <p>How do you want to wear them?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-flatsloafers-help-me-choose#post-1706848 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 11:39:45 +0000 Thistle 1706848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would pick whichever you can walk the farthest comfortably in.</p> <p>That said, I like the style quotient of the Kate and Paul better. I feel like you can find the Marc in a lot of brands. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-flatsloafers-help-me-choose#post-1706840 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 11:20:41 +0000 kkards 1706840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IMO. the kate spade are dressier and classic. the paul greens are more trending and of the moment. the marc fisher are as you say a knock off of the tod's, and pretty conversative and sort of anti fashion in a way. i'm not a huge fan of the marc fishers, but then i like footwear that makes a fashion statement, but i also realize that this type of shoe tends to look better in person than in a photo….but for me its a toss up between the kate spades and the paul green's…and i don't think you could go wrong with either.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-flatsloafers-help-me-choose#post-1706776 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 04:00:35 +0000 Echo 1706776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not terribly fond of the Marc Fisher pair. As for the other two, it would depend on the outfit. The Paul Green is a more casual, chunkier look, while the Kate Spade could work well with either skirts or pants. I think the Kate Spade pair is probably most versatile and the dressiest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-flatsloafers-help-me-choose#post-1706769 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 03:46:42 +0000 crazyone 1706769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's also the Franco Sarto (available in black patent leather) in case you want something a bit cheaper... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-flatsloafers-help-me-choose#post-1706744 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 03:05:34 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1706744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a hard decision. Is there a pair that you are itching to wear first? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-flatsloafers-help-me-choose#post-1706680 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 00:41:05 +0000 Angie 1706680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them all, Colette. Personally, it's the comfort level of the loafer that would make the decision for me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-flatsloafers-help-me-choose#post-1706673 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 00:28:49 +0000 Meredith 1706673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Each of these shoes gives such a different vibe. The Marc Fishers are extremely classic, read a little less dressy. The Kate Spades are more refined. I have a sugar eye for pointed toes, so I like the Kate Spades. I bought a patent, pointy pair from Boden last winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-flatsloafers-help-me-choose#post-1706672 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 00:25:59 +0000 Anonymous 1706672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Kate best because they're pointy and dainty. I like the simple band across the top.</p> <p>The thick soled ones seem good for walking, and seem fairly trendy.</p> <p>For the other one, I'm not sure about the metal detail. They seem to be more classic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-flatsloafers-help-me-choose#post-1706665 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 00:04:57 +0000 Colette 1706665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lisa! You must share your pointy toe loafers or oxfords.</p> <p>When I was in the Nordstrom shoe dept I realized the Kate Spade flats look like a Prada shoe and the Marc Fisher loafers look like a Tod's loafer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-flatsloafers-help-me-choose#post-1706485 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 18:14:10 +0000 Anonymous 1706485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a black pointed toe oxford or loafer on my fall list too ! &nbsp;Personally , I find the Marc Fisher less modern and fashionable looking, and I much, much prefer the other two. &nbsp;Based on what I've seen you wearing thus far, I'd say the pointy Kate would be lovely on you. &nbsp;The chunkier one would work with jeans, but maybe fewer outfits than the Kate. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-flatsloafers-help-me-choose#post-1706472 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 17:43:55 +0000 Colette 1706472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This year I was determined to get a pair of black flats/loafers for fall. Last year I could not find one pair I liked, but this year I found a few. So, now that the last pair I ordered has arrived I need some help deciding which pair to keep. They all fit and I like them all but I really only need one, right?</p> <p>So, is it Kate, Mark or Paul?</p> <p>I would love to hear your thoughts. And if you have any other suggestions, I am open to those as well.</p> <p> </p>
