I don't think any passer-by would notice this at all, and as they loosen up your feet will slide forward anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-sandal-advice-needed#post-1463215 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 02:23:16 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1463215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow ladies, lots of great advice as usual! I wore them around last night quite a bit and they softened up a bit and the foot came more forward. I&nbsp;am thinking that a ball of the foot pad or Insolia&nbsp;will a) give a tad of extra cushion, which never hurts, and b) will push the forefoot just a little forward at the arch. I felt like I might be scrutinizing the toe space too closely (as only someone who spends as much time thinking about fashion is wont to do). As they are very comfy and super cool, I think I'll give them a go. I am usually a 6.5 to 7, but these run super small...more so than I've ever experienced. Also, my feet swell in the heat and a little extra space is always welcome in my shoes, even as it's mostly invisible until sandal season. Alas, my stubby toes can be challenging, but they fit better in pointy toed shoes than if I had longer ones (I suspect)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-sandal-advice-needed#post-1463047 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 18:24:29 +0000 Suz 1463047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are amazing on you! I, too, think they look a little long, but I prefer that to too-short in the toe, and if they otherwise fit, I might just go with them. Because they're that great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-sandal-advice-needed#post-1463040 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 18:15:30 +0000 Marlene 1463040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always have this issue with open toed shoes because of my short toes. &nbsp;So I'm sensitive to seeing that much "space" after your toes end. &nbsp;I don't mind a little...but this looks like the shoe is too big on you. &nbsp;*sad face* &nbsp;these are awesome otherwise.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-sandal-advice-needed#post-1463026 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 18:00:03 +0000 Anonymous 1463026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Janet. Wear them around the house and see if your feet work their way forward. When this happens to me though, I end up tripping because of the extra space. A house trial should let you know if that could be a problem. If they are comfortable and walkable, I'd not be concerned about the space. Few, if any, will notice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-sandal-advice-needed#post-1463020 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 17:51:09 +0000 Anonymous 1463020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute shoes, and they look great on you!&nbsp;I even like that nail polish color with them.&nbsp;They do look a little long in the close-ups&nbsp;but I think as you wear them it'll be less noticeable. Too small is a deal breaker for sure, but a little too big, as long as you're not tripping isn't really even a problem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-sandal-advice-needed#post-1462988 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 17:04:49 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1462988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them too, but agree that your toes just look too far back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-sandal-advice-needed#post-1462944 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 15:51:02 +0000 AM 1462944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Voting for too long in the toe. Darn it! They are great shoes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-sandal-advice-needed#post-1462938 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 15:45:08 +0000 viva 1462938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Dashielle, you have tiny feet, and that must be a challenge. DD has the challenge at the opposite end (size 10) so I can sympathize. </p> <p>I love those sandals so much for someone with RATE tendencies. They are really, really cool. For me, it would be too much room in front of the toes. I'm sorry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-sandal-advice-needed#post-1462937 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 15:42:52 +0000 Janet 1462937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others who don't notice it at all in the full-length shots, only in the close-ups. I don't find it a deal-breaker personally -- I have a poison eye for toes overhanging the edge of a sandal, but a teensy bit of extra room does not bother me so much. I also realize that we stand a little differently when we try to photograph our feet, so that can affect how footwear fits in a closeup photo. </p> <p>I also can't help but wonder if the fit on the front of the sandal may loosen a little bit with wear, allowing your foot to slide forward just a little, which would fill in some of that room at the toe. I dunno, they're VERY cool sandals though, so I may just be justifying/enabling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-sandal-advice-needed#post-1462927 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 15:08:58 +0000 Susie 1462927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, great style; I really like them. If it were me, that much extra at the toe would bother me too much to keep them. I have short toes so I often have the same issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-sandal-advice-needed#post-1462924 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 14:59:45 +0000 crutcher 1462924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In the first picture, it looks like you have your toes scrunched up on one foot?...The second picture looks ok...This doesn't help...I loveth the sandals..and in my crazy way of justification, I would make them fit...<br />Sugar eyes..never heard that...I am sure, absolutely sure, I suffer from sugar eyes...most of the time..smile... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-sandal-advice-needed#post-1462902 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 14:15:05 +0000 Anonymous 1462902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to say I think they look great - and not too long at all. I happen to find toes right at the end of sandal foot beds look a bit weird, unless you have perfectly straight and aligned toes, which not many of us have. &nbsp;These are cool &nbsp;sandals too, and it's more important that they fit in the back and around the ankle, no? &nbsp;Again, I don't think they look too short at all &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-sandal-advice-needed#post-1462900 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 14:11:26 +0000 Jaime 1462900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Although they are too long, I did not notice until I read the text (because I had to look at the pictures first). My feet tend to slide forward anyhow.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-sandal-advice-needed#post-1462861 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 12:11:12 +0000 Aquamarine 1462861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree they look too big, or your toes are too short. I have the opposite problem, with long toes. It makes sandal shopping complicated. Gorgeous booties, though. Have you worn them around? Maybe in motion your feet will slide forward a bit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-sandal-advice-needed#post-1462851 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 11:32:03 +0000 unfrumped 1462851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow , this is one of those " so close" situations. A longer- toed gal would be in heaven. I'm afraid they do look like you're in a size too big ( which is not as bad as too small, with toes hanging off), and not the same as an uncomfortable fit, so it will depend on your own annoyance tolerance.<br /> I have had similar issues with shoes that were more comfortable a half size up but then did not " look" well- fitted on my foot. That is a problem of the maker's last, that it is not the right length or width at the right places on my foot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-sandal-advice-needed#post-1462834 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 10:48:09 +0000 Deborah 1462834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have this trouble occasionally:(. I adore these like crazy! But I have to say I think they are too long in the toe:(. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-sandal-advice-needed#post-1462826 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 10:30:16 +0000 kkards 1462826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i'm agreeing with Lyn67, in the close up they do look long, but in the outfit pics i think they look fine….do they feel to big?<br />and BTW, i see that not only are we sneaker twins, but we even wear the same size… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-sandal-advice-needed#post-1462814 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 09:46:38 +0000 lyn67 1462814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, these are the edgy bootie sandals! I find them a bit long in the close ups,&nbsp;but not noticeable&nbsp;&nbsp;in the other picties, so no help I'm afrai, but&nbsp;curious how will you decide? If good enough for YLF then perhaps will solve me aproblem later, when occures by me:-)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-sandal-advice-needed#post-1462801 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 08:21:02 +0000 Krissy 1462801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others in that I think they look at little long in the close up photo. However, in the body shot photos I didn't notice it at all. If you adore those sandal boots and they feel comfy then I think they are okay. Make sure they truly do fit though because it's so depressing to have a pair of beautiful shoes that never get worn! (I should know - I've got a few pairs of those myself) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-sandal-advice-needed#post-1462787 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 04:43:41 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1462787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, smallest size for these is a 6, which is small normally for me. Maybe I can grind the toes down </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-sandal-advice-needed#post-1462786 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 04:43:39 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1462786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are an awesome style, but I agree they look a little long at the toe. They are so cool that you may be willing to overlook it, though. I see it most in the photo looking directly down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-sandal-advice-needed#post-1462785 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 04:43:01 +0000 Aziraphale 1462785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know. If it were me, I'd take them back. They are just long enough that it looks like they don't fit, even though they feel OK. But they are great sandal boots. If it won't bug you every time you look down at your feet, you could keep them.&nbsp;I doubt random strangers&nbsp;would notice.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-sandal-advice-needed#post-1462782 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 04:33:15 +0000 Caro in Oz 1462782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't want to write this because&nbsp;they look perfect for your style,&nbsp;but I'm agreeing with kellygirl - they do look a little long imo.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-sandal-advice-needed#post-1462778 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 04:21:51 +0000 kellygirl 1462778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is this the smallest size? I think the fit looks ok but I would prefer them to be a little shorter. (I had a similar issue with some fly Londons.)</p> <p>Fun shoes though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-sandal-advice-needed#post-1462777 Wed, 25 Mar 2015 04:13:39 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1462777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I collected these bootie/sandals the moment they were posted on Nordies website because they are so different to anything that I have., I popped over at lunch last Thursday and came away with the only 6 they had received. They are very comfy for a heel this height, and unless I'm having sugar eye, I think they look good on and work with my style. I tried them with a couple of outfits tonight because I fear that even though I got the smallest size, they look too big. Since they're adjustable, it's not a matter of fit per se, but I need to know if ya'll think they look off because of the extra toe space? Thanks for your thoughts/guidance/input. </p>
