Given how long Tanya has had the shoes replacing, my bet is that she will get that minimum number of wears—and probably far more than that—easily. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-sandals-refresh-help-choosing-a-light-blue-version#post-2199160 Mon, 31 May 2021 08:00:55 +0000 Jenni NZ 2199160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know Tanya that is why I so often don’t buy beautiful shoes. It can be so much cost per wear when I already have a lot of shoes -38 last count. So even now- since I once had 50 and had edited out some higher heels that were not worn enough but just weren’t comfortable- I try to be really really sure or get them on sale. It is kind of difficult to wear some of them enough when I am trying for #30 wears. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-sandals-refresh-help-choosing-a-light-blue-version#post-2199107 Mon, 31 May 2021 00:57:27 +0000 Jaime 2199107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My eyes are spinning from all these gorgeous choices. I have to say those white Freda Salvador sandals are gorgeous! Love the light blue Buenos are a great pick. Really would have a hard time going wrong with any of these that are comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-sandals-refresh-help-choosing-a-light-blue-version#post-2199093 Sun, 30 May 2021 23:56:23 +0000 Tanya 2199093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, they indeed are, but sadly cost the same as all the 4 pairs I have already bought and two I likely will together. I have spent that much money for boots/booties, and still not sure how I feel about sandals. I am postponing the decision until I am mostly done with the whole casual Summer refresh project and tally the money spent/left over. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-sandals-refresh-help-choosing-a-light-blue-version#post-2199091 Sun, 30 May 2021 23:41:07 +0000 Angie 2199091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are BEAUTIFUL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-sandals-refresh-help-choosing-a-light-blue-version#post-2199052 Sun, 30 May 2021 20:10:13 +0000 Tanya 2199052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Runcarla, thank you for adding a vote for blue Buenos.</p> <p>Janet, thank you for sharing the trick with me!&nbsp; &nbsp;I wore the sandals once and they were fine, but it may come handy.&nbsp; I really like the blue Franco Sartos and Unity in Diversity you shared, so more options to consider.</p> <p>Anchie, those Paul Green sandals are stunning, they would be mine if available in the US.&nbsp; This is the 2nd year I am missing my annual trip to Vienna, I used to always come back with some Paul Green shoes.</p> <p>Slim Cat, I am sorry to hear about your foot issues, but glad you found a sandal brand that works for you.</p> <p>Phoebe, thank you for the recommendations.&nbsp; I have the same concern about Naots.</p> <p>Angie, it appears that pale blue Buenos are winners in the category!&nbsp; I have been thinking about white, but haven't quite made up my mind yet.&nbsp; I have a huge crush on a slightly dressier pair from Freda Salvador, and trying to decide if I want to spend that much money.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-sandals-refresh-help-choosing-a-light-blue-version#post-2199049 Sun, 30 May 2021 20:02:51 +0000 Angie 2199049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More love for the pale blue Buenos!&nbsp;</p> <p>How about white sandals, <b>Tanya</b>?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-sandals-refresh-help-choosing-a-light-blue-version#post-2199032 Sun, 30 May 2021 19:04:53 +0000 Anonymous 2199032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In category light blue, I like the Bueno Ava, Janet's Unity In Diversity Kira, and Anchie's Paul Greens.</p> <p>I'm pretty confident Naot Kaylas would meet your 2hr urban walk requirement but looking at your other choices you might find the style a little too rustic.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-sandals-refresh-help-choosing-a-light-blue-version#post-2198991 Sun, 30 May 2021 15:42:05 +0000 slim cat 2198991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So many great options!

I am not much help since I am not familiar with those brands, but light blue sandals seem like a good idea.

I’m glad you like the lemminged choices. A little hint: on the Sarto lace-ups, I found that the ties slide around a lot and I had to readjust them before tying them up — so I put a little knot in the tie on either side of the leather strap in the center that holds the tie in place — now the tie doesn’t slip around anymore! The knots are small enough that they don’t rub on my feet but enough to keep the tie secured. Here’s a photo.</p> <p>As for the blue/turquoise sandals, I’ve attached some of my finds below from when I was sandal shopping. So far I’m feeling the Sarto ones for you. I like the basic style of the Buenas (they remind me a bit of my copper Free People sandals), but the way the toe turns up makes them look a little more casual than I perceive your style. Maybe that isn’t apparent when they are on the foot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-sandals-refresh-help-choosing-a-light-blue-version#post-2198963 Sun, 30 May 2021 14:22:19 +0000 Carla 2198963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m with Jenni and Helena, and keep going back to the pale blue Buenos... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-sandals-refresh-help-choosing-a-light-blue-version#post-2198961 Sun, 30 May 2021 13:57:33 +0000 Tanya 2198961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all very much for the input.&nbsp; It looks that, so far, out of the light blue options, the Buenos are in the lead.</p> <p>Jenni, you are right that the light blue Buenos are&nbsp; the least similar to the sandals I already own.&nbsp; I will carefully evaluate the new black Miz Mooz hen they get here ( should be this afternoon), however I am thinking they will be fine if they are indeed as shown, which is with a tiny lift towards the heel.</p> <p>Fashintern, thank you for he vote for the last turquoise Buenos.&nbsp; &nbsp;It is a different shape (for me), and I may end up trying them.</p> <p>JAileen, thank you so much for sharing your experience with Naot and Bueno brands.&nbsp; The sandals you show are lovely, but unfortunately backless does not work for my feet - I tend to step out of the shoes.</p> <p>Style Fan, thank you for confirming Naot appears to be a comfy brand, too.</p> <p>Always Trying, thank you.&nbsp; I need tot hank Janet for finding the silver ones, as I saw them first on her posts.</p> <p>Rachy,&nbsp; those Edens&nbsp; are super cute indeed.&nbsp; Decisions, decisions ...</p> <p>Suntiger, I appreciate the votes for the purple Naot and teal Buenos.&nbsp;</p> <p>Helena, another vote for the light blue Buenos, thank you!</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-sandals-refresh-help-choosing-a-light-blue-version#post-2198948 Sun, 30 May 2021 12:58:22 +0000 Helena 2198948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Jenni, the light blue Bueno pair really stand out to me.

I’ve been leering at black sandals while trying to get white ones already, and now look at that first pair! I also really like the Indigo by Clark’s and the Miz Moos. The last ones are nice-looking too—not as great as the MMs, imho, but fastener free has to get them some extra points. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-sandals-refresh-help-choosing-a-light-blue-version#post-2198801 Sat, 29 May 2021 21:09:46 +0000 Jenni NZ 2198801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One other thing- the new black Miz Mooz look the same degree of flatness as the old Kelsi dagger that feel too flat? Could be a concern? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-sandals-refresh-help-choosing-a-light-blue-version#post-2198800 Sat, 29 May 2021 21:03:44 +0000 Jenni NZ 2198800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a great collection and choices! I really like all the new ones you have bought.<br /> I don’t have personal experience of Bueno but they have been imported here by Ezibuy a well known catalogue company ( which I do buy from sometimes, it also has a few B&amp;M stores) and so I think they must be a growing brand. Possibly Spanish, I might have read.<br /> I’m a sucker for patent so I love the purple Kayla Naots.<br /> The blue Lucky Brand espadrilles look most like your others but I am more drawn to the light blue Buenos, FWIW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/casual-sandals-refresh-help-choosing-a-light-blue-version#post-2198786 Sat, 29 May 2021 19:50:55 +0000 Tanya 2198786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in the middle of a casual sandals refresh.&nbsp; My current collection is here (first nine pairs in the Finds), the first four pairs are new, bought in the past month, and the other five are super old, 5-6 years or more.&nbsp; &nbsp;I have purged a lot of old sandals for various reasons.&nbsp; I have more sandals, which have higher heels and are dressier, however those serve a different purpose and are not counted here.&nbsp; &nbsp;I am very demanding on my casual sandals, as I expect them to be comfy enough for 2h urban walk, and my feet are medium-fussy.&nbsp; I cannot do backless (slides, mules), straps between the toes (thongs), very high heels, thin heels, or completely flat flats. Even my sandals that appear flat actually have tiny little wedge ( e.g. the black Miz Mooz).&nbsp; &nbsp;I am really enjoying the current trend of small platforms with small wedge heels, as those are extremely comfy for me.&nbsp; &nbsp;That is why now is a perfect timing for me for sandal refresh.</p> <p>I have bought four new pairs so far this season, tan snake and pewter gladiator were lemming-ed from Janet.&nbsp; The black Miz Mooz pair is on it's way to me.<br />Out of the 5 old pairs, the off-white gladiators are MVPs, I have worn them to death and do not intend to part with them.&nbsp; Two of the pairs are on probation - I intend to wear each of them at least three times before making a final decision on keeping.&nbsp; They are the black Kelsie Daggers, which I wore once this summer and they felt uncomfortably flat, and the tan Sofft gladiators which I have not worn in quite a few years because I always reach for the tan Sam Edelmans.</p> <p>I am hoping to get a few more pairs, to add some color/texture, however&nbsp; that is optional at this point.&nbsp; &nbsp;I really want a light blue pair, and have identified three candidates below, and am curious which one you prefer.&nbsp; Feel free to suggest other candidates.&nbsp; Also curious if you have experience with shoe brands Bueno and Comfortiva, as those are new to me.</p> <p>Some other colors/options I am considering are: blush/rose gold, navy, teal/turquoise, and any shade of purple ( my accent colors this summer are light blue, teal/turquoise, and purple).&nbsp; &nbsp;I have attached some pairs that have caught my attention, but not making any choices about them now.&nbsp; &nbsp;I keep changing my mind on the purple Naots - love the metallic purple leather, but not sure if the style is too classic for me.&nbsp; (I would obviously not get all of these, one or two at most).</p>
