If only there was a size 6.25... Anyway, regardless of how cute or not these flats may be, they'll be going back to zappos. I'm sure the perfect flat is out there, but I'm having a very difficult time finding it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-adele-too-basic-or-basic-in-a-good-way#post-212908 Thu, 09 Sep 2010 03:23:28 +0000 Sihaya 212908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These seem cute and you say are comfortable. I would keep for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-adele-too-basic-or-basic-in-a-good-way#post-212905 Thu, 09 Sep 2010 03:21:52 +0000 Marley 212905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kate - I think I know what you mean. I'm a shoe freak - but many times I have bought shoes that were "good enough" - I didn't really love them, but they worked and met my wardrobe needs. Needless to say, I didn't ever wear them very often - but they ended up staying in my possession waaaaay too long because I kept thinking about how practical and comfy they were - and also how much money I had spent on them! It wasn't a good thing! So . . . I say that if you don't love these shoes and feel great when putting them on - then return them. There are plenty of comfortable shoes out there that also have that "wow" factor! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-adele-too-basic-or-basic-in-a-good-way#post-212877 Thu, 09 Sep 2010 02:32:07 +0000 Anonymous 212877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them especially due to the comfort factor. However, I happen to think you can do better at that price range ( I'm kinda cheap when it comes to flats) especially if you are seeking for that "killer" pair.<br /> ETA. What I'm trying to say is don't keep them if you are not 100% "in love" with them. Sometimes it takes a while to find what sings to you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-adele-too-basic-or-basic-in-a-good-way#post-212871 Thu, 09 Sep 2010 02:18:19 +0000 tarzy 212871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, as someone who absolutely can not and will not wear shoes that hurt shoes, I totally get the "comfy" part. I think they look really nice, but if you wanted to add a little extra oomph, that chianti color is fab! (And I can't stop thinking about "Silence of the Lambs" now!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-adele-too-basic-or-basic-in-a-good-way#post-212868 Thu, 09 Sep 2010 02:06:14 +0000 Carole 212868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>gotta have comfy flats! and a big bonus that they are super cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-adele-too-basic-or-basic-in-a-good-way#post-212866 Thu, 09 Sep 2010 02:02:12 +0000 shana 212866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look great and the front detailing adds some interest/texture that keeps them from looking blah! I say wear them with pride &amp; your feet will love you for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-adele-too-basic-or-basic-in-a-good-way#post-212851 Thu, 09 Sep 2010 01:51:43 +0000 taylor 212851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you should get lots of verstility from these:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-adele-too-basic-or-basic-in-a-good-way#post-212847 Thu, 09 Sep 2010 01:49:10 +0000 April 212847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kate, I know exactly what you're saying. I have a couple pairs of shoes that I bought thinking they would be good "basics" -- nothing extreme, nothing ruthlessly memorable. The problem is, I do not feel fab when I wear them. </p> <p>Your shoes look fine to me, just saying that if you're getting an inkling that they may be a little on the safe side, you may find yourself wearing them less than you had hoped. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-adele-too-basic-or-basic-in-a-good-way#post-212821 Thu, 09 Sep 2010 01:19:38 +0000 Lisa 212821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thumbs up from me, the front detail takes them from boring basic to fab and fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-adele-too-basic-or-basic-in-a-good-way#post-212809 Thu, 09 Sep 2010 01:06:08 +0000 Beth 212809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect! Then I say both you and your feet will be happy:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-adele-too-basic-or-basic-in-a-good-way#post-212807 Thu, 09 Sep 2010 01:04:53 +0000 Kate 212807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whew, I'm so glad people like them (so far...)!</p> <p>I have a pair of sandals I wear all the time, a pair of boots I wear all the time, but no comfy flats. These are going to be my comfy flats, I just want to make sure they're cute enough for the amount of wear they are about to get. I'd been eying them for over a month and then I found out my sister had a pair (in black) and loves them, so I decided to go for it!</p> <p>Beth, I will definitely wear them! I am coming to terms with how many shoes I have that aren't comfortable enough, so after some proper editing these will likely be my only pair of closed toe flats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-adele-too-basic-or-basic-in-a-good-way#post-212802 Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:59:10 +0000 Sparky 212802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I love them. I wanted to get a pair in black even. But they're too wide for my feet, sigh. I think they look very nice for a ballet flat; the twist in the front keeps them from being boring for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-adele-too-basic-or-basic-in-a-good-way#post-212794 Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:55:00 +0000 Beth 212794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them.</p> <p>Will you wear them if you don't love them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-adele-too-basic-or-basic-in-a-good-way#post-212775 Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:34:48 +0000 marianna 212775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-adele-too-basic-or-basic-in-a-good-way#post-212769 Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:29:20 +0000 Sveta 212769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them too - front detail adds enough interest IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-adele-too-basic-or-basic-in-a-good-way#post-212768 Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:25:36 +0000 Anonymous 212768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them! Thumbs up from me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/born-adele-too-basic-or-basic-in-a-good-way#post-212765 Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:16:56 +0000 Kate 212765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered these flats from Zappos: <a href="http://www.zappos.com/born-adele-marrone-dark-brown-full-grain-leather" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/born-ade.....in-leather</a> (in brown), and they are just as comfy as I knew they would be. My concern is that they are not killer. They're cute enough, but they aren't knock-out shoes. I've tried on (and even bought) cuter pairs, but these are so much comfier! However I don't want to choose comfort over fashion, I believe in the best of both worlds. So, are they cute enough to keep, or just too simple?</p> <p>(I'm sparing you from pictures because the tan lines on my feet from my sandals are completely absurd right now. The zappos pictures should be enough.) </p>
