The shoes worked with 1) heel lifts added in *both* shoes (only 1 thickness in the left foot, which was the one with the looser heel, but 3 thicknesses in the right, which is the side I need elevated to help correct my alignment), 2) insoles added to both shoes, and 3) Stance no-show socks. I wore them out and about on Saturday with the olive Jag shorts and a lightweight white and black windowpane shirt. The shoes were a little stiff at first but felt better and more broken in as the day went on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-platform-sneakers-update/page/2#post-2056406 Wed, 28 Aug 2019 17:07:24 +0000 Windchime 2056406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these shoes for you; they seem to easily complement your overall style.</p> <p>And what an awesome jacket.

Add an insole too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-platform-sneakers-update/page/2#post-2055540 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 18:36:14 +0000 JAileen 2055540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the jacket on you. It’s kind of futuristic - Blade Runnerish. Perfect for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-platform-sneakers-update/page/2#post-2055537 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 18:25:59 +0000 Janet 2055537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, they didn't seem to slip on my heels when I tried them on barefoot, so I'm wondering if the socks I was wearing were partially to blame (very thin, and kind of slippery). I'm going to try them on with other socks before doing anything else.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-platform-sneakers-update/page/2#post-2055498 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 13:29:37 +0000 notsaf 2055498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've used whatever ones from Dr. Scholls were on the rack at the drug store, and they do work. However, that was to extend the life of a shoe that had stretched from wear. If you need them for shoes out of the box, I'd think twice as I do not find them to be altogether the most comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-platform-sneakers-update/page/2#post-2055491 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 13:15:08 +0000 Janet 2055491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Reviving this with a question/concern if anyone checks back in. I tried them on again yesterday, this time with thin socks, and they seem wide on my heels. I’m worried about them rubbing. I added insoles to help tighten up the volume a little (sizing down not an option because they are just long enough in this size), but I’m wondering if anyone has had success with those stick-on heel inserts to help improve heel fit. Thinking about ordering these from Amazon: </p> <p>High Heel Grip for Women/Men, Heel Sticker for Shose Too Big, Shose Filler Heel Liner for Leather Shoes.6Pieces (Black) <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07R6HLT3R/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_rGtyDbQFYP18P" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07R.....yDbQFYP18P</a></p> <p>Maybe I need to experiment with other socks too. I’m hoping I can make these work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-platform-sneakers-update/page/2#post-2055077 Thu, 22 Aug 2019 22:05:55 +0000 mtnsofthemoon 2055077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the entire outfit!!&nbsp; The pants and jacket look amazing on you and the shoes.....I love the laces - really gives them some personality!&nbsp; spectacular ;-)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-platform-sneakers-update/page/2#post-2055058 Thu, 22 Aug 2019 20:51:53 +0000 Anonymous 2055058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-platform-sneakers-update/page/2#post-2055035 Thu, 22 Aug 2019 19:58:10 +0000 Anonymous 2055035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me too.

I had a feeling these would be the ones. Nordstrom doesn't seem to inclined to send me the new size of the Ecco sneakers I got from NAS, even though I marked it as an exchange and they assured me it was in the system that way. I may try these out instead if they never materialize. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-platform-sneakers-update/page/2#post-2054977 Thu, 22 Aug 2019 15:52:25 +0000 Janet 2054977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m glad these got such rave reviews here. Thanks! </p> <p>I’ve seen the Vans on three (mostly young) women in the last few days, so I’m actually glad I didn’t go for those — I always like wearing something a little different from what everyone else is wearing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-platform-sneakers-update/page/2#post-2054938 Thu, 22 Aug 2019 14:31:26 +0000 AJ 2054938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jacket, jeans, and shoes are FAB!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-platform-sneakers-update/page/2#post-2054933 Thu, 22 Aug 2019 14:17:45 +0000 Bijou 2054933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Janet </b>- the shoes could not look better with the jeans, just perfect.</p> <p>That jacket! I was pretty distracted at how amazing it was to look at the shoes at first.</p> <p><b>@LisaP</b> - well done for not buying the jacket if your weather would not allow you to wear the it much, I can see why you were tempted! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-platform-sneakers-update/page/2#post-2054927 Thu, 22 Aug 2019 14:04:01 +0000 SarahD8 2054927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look really excellent on you, Janet. The whole look with the bootcuts and new jacket is just perfect. I’m thinking back to that “how do I even get started with this look?” thread and shaking my head to think there was ever any question! You are already pulling it off effortlessly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-platform-sneakers-update/page/2#post-2054914 Thu, 22 Aug 2019 13:21:29 +0000 Anonymous 2054914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, after a lot of thought, I've ordered the sneakers. &nbsp;Had to sit on my hands re the jacket though, despite how perfect it is. &nbsp;It's too season-specific for me and a narrow one at that. &nbsp;I love it, but here is the careful-shopper-Lisa being practical. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-platform-sneakers-update#post-2054909 Thu, 22 Aug 2019 13:12:06 +0000 Helena 2054909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are awesome!

And this is helping me figure out ppl for this styling. I struggle with bootcuts and flat or platform shoes. The break is always too much if I go for what seems like t he right heel point. Of course you have gorgeous little no legs and so don’t need the same lengthening I do! </p>
