That’s a big part of why I prefer it over synthetic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cant-decide-carvela-or-hispanita/page/3#post-2265754 Thu, 02 Jun 2022 18:18:14 +0000 Angie 2265754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone!&nbsp;</p> <p>I've been wearing the Carvelas a LOT, and they are absolutely perfect in every way.

I am glad that they fared well on their first outing. I have some new boots which were comfortable at home, but after a 4km walk gave me blisters. I am now wearing them on shorter distances to stretch them, with a view to putting them back to the test once I am confident that they can comfortably go the distance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cant-decide-carvela-or-hispanita/page/2#post-2265251 Sun, 29 May 2022 18:59:54 +0000 Inge 2265251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!!

I did think the Hispanitas were more casual, which is why I sort of imagined you dog walking in them, but since you say you can walk just as comfortably in the Carvelas that’s all good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cant-decide-carvela-or-hispanita/page/2#post-2265055 Sat, 28 May 2022 20:07:45 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2265055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A fun read! Glad you figured it out. I got a pair of bone casual loafers last year and am enjoying them, too. They're a bit of a departure for me, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cant-decide-carvela-or-hispanita/page/2#post-2265016 Sat, 28 May 2022 17:05:24 +0000 Angie 2265016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Thanks, everyone! </b></p> <p><b> </p> <p>Decision made! </p> <p></b> <p><b></b> </p> <p><b>Hubs Greg MUCH preferred the Carvelas, and those are the ones I am keeping!

I pop both pairs of shoes on, and they BOTH feel soooo right. Comfort factor is the same.</p> <p><b>AJ</b> and<b> Lynette,</b>&nbsp;thinking hard that I might just do that....</p> <p><b>Zaeobi,</b> totally good wearing either pair with doggies in tow.

So long as you'd be OK wearing them for casual events (like dog walking)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cant-decide-carvela-or-hispanita/page/2#post-2264920 Sat, 28 May 2022 05:32:12 +0000 AJ 2264920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White is such a staple in your wardrobe that you need BOTH!!&nbsp; : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cant-decide-carvela-or-hispanita/page/2#post-2264918 Sat, 28 May 2022 05:24:47 +0000 Lynette 2264918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about keeping both?

I can imagine that might be a plus when walking the doggies if you’re okay with the appearance. The Hispanitas have fab stitching and a lovely rounded square toe with room for long toes, plus a higher vamp than the Carvela’s which is a good thing in my book. Plus, the Paul Greens do the loafers-with-hardware look so beautifully already. I’ve just talked myself into voting for the Hispanitas, ha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cant-decide-carvela-or-hispanita/page/2#post-2264885 Fri, 27 May 2022 23:43:47 +0000 aloha emily 2264885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for pic 1!

The second pair look more like moccasins, and not as dressy. Dressy is your thing. </p>
