I don't care if I "split wears" as long as the less-worn item still gets worn a fair bit. </p> <p>The only downside is the uniform aspect but given my days that's usually a feature not a bug. When that starts to irritate me I'm usually just sick of the silhouette.</p> <p>Good luck with the comfort factor! If they work out maybe you need a pair in a solid shade. ;)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-fill-a-wardrobe-hole/page/2#post-1552045 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 10:16:37 +0000 Ankita 1552045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look like a wise replacement looking at the things you mentioned... the leather back won't get ruined with driving, you can wear socks, they have the animal print... looks like a win-win to me ☺ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-fill-a-wardrobe-hole/page/2#post-1551987 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 03:43:36 +0000 Lucy 1551987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;I love these!

The leather back and the ability to wear socks makes them a great purchase. Keep the beloved SEs for warmer days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-fill-a-wardrobe-hole#post-1542547 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 11:02:50 +0000 Summer 1542547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they definitely fill a hole, Thistle. &nbsp;The leather back is going to be the perfect answer for the driving issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-fill-a-wardrobe-hole#post-1542535 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 10:05:26 +0000 jenanded 1542535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-fill-a-wardrobe-hole#post-1542419 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 01:23:25 +0000 Anonymous 1542419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another advocate of sheer knee highs or even sheer hose for warmth when needed. They still look like you are bare footed. I vote get the booties. They seem ideal for your needs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-fill-a-wardrobe-hole#post-1542418 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 01:20:18 +0000 Suz 1542418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>UPGRADE for the win!!&nbsp;</p> <p>Super smart buy.

I have some calf hair leopard flats and I've always worn other shoes to drive when I wear those. Kind of a pain, I know, but I wanted to keep my $350 plus Stuart weitzmans pristine! Which they are, five years later. And I wear sheer knee highs in cool or cold weather. I don't know what the fashion police thinks, but it works for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-fill-a-wardrobe-hole#post-1542401 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 00:35:23 +0000 Angie 1542401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Gaylene said.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-fill-a-wardrobe-hole#post-1542361 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 23:24:22 +0000 AviaMariah 1542361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they fill a hole. &nbsp;The loafers have just been a not-so-perfect place holder right? &nbsp;If the boots are comfortable I think they add some zing to your style which you like to do with your shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-fill-a-wardrobe-hole#post-1542358 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 23:14:11 +0000 Ginkgo 1542358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Echoing that you need them. &nbsp;I like the idea of having a more neutral wardrobe paired with statement shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-fill-a-wardrobe-hole#post-1542356 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 23:11:18 +0000 catgirl 1542356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes you need them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-fill-a-wardrobe-hole#post-1542353 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 23:05:57 +0000 unfrumped 1542353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If they are comfortable, I think they would work great, and better.</p> <p>Showing Find for my Halogen laceless oxfords which I have been wearing constantly. They work with nude knee-highs when I want, with socks and worn more as a trouser bootie, and with tights and skirt. I love them and they were sold out of the black or I'd have dupe'd.&nbsp; I did&nbsp; not expect the pointy shape to work for my feet but somehow the toebox works; so , they actually look&nbsp; more refined with my trousers because of that.</p> <p>So the style of&nbsp; yours seems to have that same versatile vibe.</p> <p>Also, I don't have calfhair footwear, but do have some light colors and i think I should be wearing "driving shoes" more often to spare the heels from scuffing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-fill-a-wardrobe-hole#post-1542344 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 22:35:52 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1542344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are definitely a better option for the reasons you've mentioned, so a great addition in my book. If you think you can still get great use wearing without socks in warmer weather, then keep the originals. If not, pass them on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-fill-a-wardrobe-hole#post-1542341 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 22:10:17 +0000 deb 1542341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like the leather combo pair better. Go for it and keep the old pair as slippers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-fill-a-wardrobe-hole#post-1542331 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 20:51:17 +0000 Beth Ann 1542331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love those booties for you!&nbsp; They have a bit more edge than the flats, and work for your climate.&nbsp; Save the Edelman's for those perfect Spring/Fall days, or for outfits for which they are clearly the best choice.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-fill-a-wardrobe-hole#post-1542326 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 20:13:31 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1542326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If the current pair are getting worn, I see it more as a replacement than anything which means they are filling a soon to exist hole.&nbsp; If it helps, I bought a pair of Isola booties last winter and found them to be very well made and comfortable.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-fill-a-wardrobe-hole#post-1542321 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 20:05:15 +0000 shedev 1542321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They seem like an upgrade more than a duplication. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-fill-a-wardrobe-hole#post-1542309 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 19:18:38 +0000 Elly 1542309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think as long as they are comfortable that would be a good option-- then you could save the others for spring/summer/fall wear or leave them at the office to change into out of wet weather shoes until they wear out.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-fill-a-wardrobe-hole#post-1542306 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 19:13:58 +0000 abc 1542306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well shoot the pic wasn't loading on my iPhone. Sorry. I guess you can disregard my color comment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-fill-a-wardrobe-hole#post-1542304 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 19:13:17 +0000 kerry 1542304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seems like an extremely smart buy. You have a pair that you already love to wear but have two main problems which these beauties obviously solve. So, as long as they're super comfy (dog-walking ), I'd say go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-fill-a-wardrobe-hole#post-1542303 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 19:13:17 +0000 abc 1542303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree. I don't remember the color of the original ones you have. That would be my only question - are they the same tones bc I know I have some animal prints that are warmer in color tones than others. Also depends if you are looking at this new pair as a replacement - which I probably would based on your issues listed above. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-fill-a-wardrobe-hole#post-1542299 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 19:02:36 +0000 Susie 1542299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others, Thistle, that these could be a great option for you. I don't see them as a duplicate, rather more of an upgrade </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-fill-a-wardrobe-hole#post-1542298 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 19:00:51 +0000 Sal 1542298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I think that seems a sensible move. I also struggle with loafers and have worn sticks with them too!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-fill-a-wardrobe-hole#post-1542296 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 19:00:00 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1542296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they would work well. They actually sound more versatile than the smoking slippers for your weather and lifestyle. </p>
