It's a BEAUTIFUL colour. Have you tried softening spray that you can buy at Nordies?&nbsp;</p> <p>The KS monk strap loafer is too casual. A really nice shoe, but not a substitute for the slipper flat if you know what I mean.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/delman-loafer-love-may-need-comfort-counseling#post-1207050 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 22:02:15 +0000 unfrumped 1207050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for input, Liz and Von. Thanks, Lyn D.<br /> Angie, I somehow missed it on your list. That is a great description --a hard shoe! That was super true of the SW Guything in the wicker-black combo--it was like walking in a rock! These are not nearly so, but it's true they do not fit the soft leather test. I have always been so determined not to fall into a trap of : "breaking in" shoes that will turn out to be uncomfortable, but that color is SO fun I'm losing perspective!</p> <p>Added photo of a KS buckle loafer because of color, and maybe leather is soft; I think it may meet the modern test, and I might like it--I often find that vamp feels unflattering on me, but nude might be less so. Wonder if anyone has tried it ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/delman-loafer-love-may-need-comfort-counseling#post-1207015 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 21:22:36 +0000 Lyn D. 1207015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely shoes- I hope they work out comfort wise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/delman-loafer-love-may-need-comfort-counseling#post-1207003 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 21:11:47 +0000 Angie 1207003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those slipper flats are soooooo gorgeous, which is why they made my top picks list. I found them uncomfortable - and mentioned that in the roundup. But I <i>do </i>have fussy feet and MUST wear soft leather. Many of my clients are fine wearing this type of what I call a hard shoe - so hence it made the roundup.&nbsp;</p> <p>They look stunning with your outfits, unfrumped. Makes them all look extra modern. The shade of iridescent blush is simply magical. If they were soft - they would be mine too.&nbsp;I hope they become more comfy. xo</p> <p>ps. I bought white patent Salvatore Ferragomo loafers a month ago and they are very soft. So patent CAN be soft.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/delman-loafer-love-may-need-comfort-counseling#post-1206934 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 19:55:35 +0000 unfrumped 1206934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could try to photo differently. I think the thing is, the patent part is so successful as a nude that it disappears! How's that for a problem! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/delman-loafer-love-may-need-comfort-counseling#post-1206927 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 19:50:07 +0000 Von 1206927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the nude part, and how you're pairing it in all of the outfits, but the toe cap is throwing me off. Is it really that almond?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/delman-loafer-love-may-need-comfort-counseling#post-1206923 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 19:44:16 +0000 Liz A. 1206923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them in 4-6. I do think that a solid color skirt might change my mind.&nbsp; Perhaps it's the conflicting "patterns" that's throwing the skirt looks off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/delman-loafer-love-may-need-comfort-counseling#post-1206815 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 17:41:14 +0000 unfrumped 1206815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;I&nbsp;love these&nbsp;Delman Oilslick nude slipper flats so&nbsp; much I re-ordered a&nbsp; half size up, then added inserts,&nbsp;&nbsp;because they run narrow,&nbsp; which was perfect for heel fit, but pooh for bunion.&nbsp; </p> <p><span>Quite a few of my shoes are patent or mixed—I seem to be the patent &nbsp;magpie magnet. Online I thought I might not like the “oilslick” as being too flashy, &nbsp;but as a nude it is kind of fantastic, because by being iridescent, it changes color so it seems to avoid appearing&nbsp; &nbsp;too pink or too orange or whatever—it &nbsp;&nbsp;adapts. &nbsp;I've tried <u>lots</u> of tans and nudes and all rejects.</span></p> <p>My dilemma (sorry I always seem to have one!) is that I might need to use &nbsp;slightly different inserts R and L (which I think I can find easily) and wear them a bit for the R shoe (always the&nbsp;problem foot) to loosen up more—it feels fine on carpet but a bit stiff on hard floor. I&nbsp; have to be thinking whether patent will do that because is not as forgiving as regular leather, but the larger size has much more give and I think it will. But I have not tended to be a shoe breaker-inner before. The leather soles are &nbsp;&nbsp;stiff, which is part of the issue but is helped a lot just when I tried&nbsp; &nbsp;random inserts I had on hand. &nbsp;</p> <p>I love this style for toning down &nbsp;&nbsp;pencil skirts, and the color&nbsp;seems to be my &nbsp;HEWI color for my palette and for summer nude hose,&nbsp; &nbsp;for wearing not-black shoes with black or gray pants or with a lighter summer color pant. Probably the more modern of the stylings would be skirts or tapered pants (esp more tapered) , but I’d like to wear them &nbsp;with wider trousers, too, just to have more options.</p> <p>Pics are kind of random re: tops but: 1 &amp; 2--2 summer pencil skirts; 3 &amp;4 tapered pants; 5-6 wider trousers;&nbsp; 7-AGL nude flats which are at present the&nbsp;footwear I like most with skirt/nude leg&nbsp;since I have not found a pale bootie or shootie I can wear.</p> <p>In the photos, the contrasting toe cap does seem to stand out more than IRL.&nbsp; </p> <p>First, what do you think of the look itself, &nbsp;and versatility? Then I will have to&nbsp;see if&nbsp;I'm comfortable with the comfort factor.</p>
