I'd suggest something like my Dansko Ryders, which I know we're all sick of but they are versatile and comfortable and a little rocker with the studs. 181 positive reviews! <a href="http://www.zappos.com/dansko-ryder" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/dansko-ryder</a> Suz on "Do these shoes qualify for use with skirts and dresses?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-these-shoes-qualify-for-use-with-skirts-and-dresses#post-726928 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 22:27:32 +0000 Suz 726928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Pencil skirts can certainly be worn with boots. And booties. And mid-height lace up boots. And all kinds of things. I think the reason they might not work with this particular shoe is a combo of the wedge platform (although I wear platform mid-height lace-ups with pencil skirts) AND the loafer style, which seems to connote something casual or schoolgirl. To tell the truth I think it would depend on the wearer's legs and how dressy or casual she wanted to be. These would de-bombshell a pencil. But they feel quite casual. jayne on "Do these shoes qualify for use with skirts and dresses?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-these-shoes-qualify-for-use-with-skirts-and-dresses#post-726871 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 21:21:21 +0000 jayne 726871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks for the input. Sara and lbg, those links are to some fab shoes. gorgeous. I have to order something like those. But what I am getting the impression of is that pencil skirts can only be used with low vamp shoes, or very feminine shoes, like MaryK does. and I hope heeled sleek boots? I could limit them to that...I have lady boots.

I'm not sure about that thick wedge heel though. I think I would have to see them on before I say yes or no to these.

Or even a dark denim skirt for that matter. Cute.

I personally don't like it.

I also struggle with pumps, and in fact I don't own any - I wear the next nearest thing, which is booties. The shoe you have posted would I think go readily with a wide bottomed casual maxiskirt- but I agree with Rute that a pencil skirt at any length could be tricky. And that opaque tights would be good. Here' s something similar - not really "low vamp" that might work anyway - these Chanel mules with a wedge heel. ( note opaque tights again!) <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ylOnBFiqlfI/TrsUqRjD3xI/AAAAAAAALRA/sYSgz9SA9Pg/s1600/IMG_5530.JPG" rel="nofollow">http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ylOn.....G_5530.JPG</a> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EF_sVBWgKeE/TrsUvNxeedI/AAAAAAAALRQ/OjqeHR9Ucro/s640/IMG_5539.JPG" rel="nofollow">http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EF_s.....G_5539.JPG</a> MNsara on "Do these shoes qualify for use with skirts and dresses?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-these-shoes-qualify-for-use-with-skirts-and-dresses#post-726350 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 13:11:26 +0000 MNsara 726350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These are cute! They have a heavier look than a more classic loafer because of the sole. In my mind, that makes them more casual. I can't picture where the vamp would hit a foot, but I've certainly seen loafers like these look cute with tights and dresses/skirts. I used to own a pair of these and 'thought' they looked good with skirts/dresses in a sporty, preppy way. I have a wider foot and love the vamp to cover part of it. To me, their vamps look similar. <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/AUTH-COACH-TERRI-WEDGE-BLACK-SHOES-KIDSUEDE-9B-NIB-/310334441912" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/AUTH-C.....0334441912</a> It's not letting me post a pic rute on "Do these shoes qualify for use with skirts and dresses?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-these-shoes-qualify-for-use-with-skirts-and-dresses#post-726294 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 11:21:14 +0000 rute 726294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, but it depends on the dress or skirt! A classic dress or a pencil skirt no, but I can see it with a trendy baggy dress with opaque tights! jayne on "Do these shoes qualify for use with skirts and dresses?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-these-shoes-qualify-for-use-with-skirts-and-dresses#post-726288 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 10:49:35 +0000 jayne 726288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have listened to advice to find a lower vamp shoe for dresses..but I am truly not a pump kinda gal. I tried to make myself buy a pair of low wedge type pumps..but I cannot seem to do it. I am more attracted to these heeled loafers. Can I use these as a semi low vamp shoes for dresses? Do you recommend for certain skirt types and not others? Like is a line ok with these but not pencil? Any help appreciated...shoes are a blank for me..
