I remember a pair in taupe, with a dark brown rubber coating on the sole, and I think I also had the traditional style in stone. <br />Hmm, thinking back to those color choices, it seems some things for me don't change, do they? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-scholl---i-quite-like-you/page/2#post-1435115 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 16:09:17 +0000 Angie 1435115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High five, Ruth. And WOW -&nbsp; it blows my mind that you and Gaylene thought the wooden soles&nbsp;were&nbsp;comfy. Feet are sooooo different, aren't they?&nbsp;</p> <p>YES. Clack, clack, clack, clack, clack. That was us in those Dr. Scholls, Lisa. But they were the shoe of the moment, and I had to have them. I tried hard to ignore how uncomfy they were, since I had begged my Mama for them. She DID wonder why I didn't wear them that often though. I kept them to wear to pools so that they wouldn't have to stay on my feet that long.&nbsp; </p> <p>I 100% understand the appeal of something Retro that you loved wearing in the past. xo</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-scholl---i-quite-like-you/page/2#post-1435110 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 15:53:34 +0000 Ruth M 1435110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, memories!&nbsp; I too had a red pair with wooden soles (hi five, <b>Angie</b>!)&nbsp; I wore them for years, and like <b>Gaylene</b>, I found them really comfortable.&nbsp; I do remember reading a newspaper article by a chiropodist suggesting they could cause "claw toe" in long-term wearers from the clenching of toes required to keep them on.&nbsp; I limited my use a bit after reading that!</p> <p>I WOULD wear the wooden ones again if they were available (were it not for the fact that we have hard surface in our kitchen and the slapping noise would drive my husband insane!)</p> <p>Intrigued to see what updated version may appear.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-scholl---i-quite-like-you/page/2#post-1435102 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 15:41:14 +0000 Anonymous 1435102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Angie, I know ! &nbsp;I remember having at least one pair of these and I really doubt they were comfortable at all. And noisy !! &nbsp;I'm drawn to the retro/waspy-ness of them:) &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-scholl---i-quite-like-you/page/2#post-1435098 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 15:38:30 +0000 Angie 1435098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Lisa. I had a red pair of these in the '70s - with the wooden sole. And they were just about the most uncomfortable&nbsp;shoes I have ever had on my feet - and my feet kept slipping out the front. The cushioned version sounds like a MUCH better idea.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-scholl---i-quite-like-you#post-1435090 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 15:34:13 +0000 kkards 1435090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh, how i longed for a pair of dr scholls when i was in jr high, but this was one trend that my mom completely said no to!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-scholl---i-quite-like-you#post-1435077 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 15:18:02 +0000 Janet 1435077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL Gotta add Love's Baby Soft to that list along with Candies and Lip Smackers... Oh, and stock up on the L'eggs pantyhose! :-D</p> <p>Dr Scholls wood soles were never comfortable to me when I tried them, even though I was really young when they came into popularity. </p> <p>These remind me of a pair of sandals I gave up a couple of years ago. They were platform slides with gold Chinese-patterned silk-like fabric uppers. They were pretty and comfortable but started to look dated. Sigh. Must I hang onto everything? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-scholl---i-quite-like-you#post-1435038 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 13:56:38 +0000 SharLa 1435038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We may not have Candies yet, but we do have Crocs!<br /> Kinda similar with the sweaty feet thing going on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-scholl---i-quite-like-you#post-1434987 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 07:24:02 +0000 Adelfa 1434987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved wearing these in the '70s, but I wouldn't wear them today due to the sound. Still love the look though, so clean and classic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-scholl---i-quite-like-you#post-1434961 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 05:09:37 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1434961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can almost hear the clip-clop echoing through the halls of my old high school. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-scholl---i-quite-like-you#post-1434890 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 02:52:02 +0000 Dimity 1434890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If Birks can be super fashionable, then I'd say these are in with a good chance. It seems people have fond memories of them, so why not have fun and be comfy too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-scholl---i-quite-like-you#post-1434841 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 01:03:49 +0000 Nebraskim 1434841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought some Dr. Scholl's branded flip flops last summer and loved them. I am not a flip flops person, but these were more like sandals and they are supremely comfortable. I would buy these sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-scholl---i-quite-like-you#post-1434799 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 23:09:56 +0000 Caro in Oz 1434799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore them in the 70s too. I always seemed to be hitting my ankles with the wooden soles. That doesn't happen with my Birks </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-scholl---i-quite-like-you#post-1434742 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 21:22:04 +0000 DonnaF 1434742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to wear them all the time -- but they weren't really all that comfortable on my feet even though they were *supposed* to be good for them.&nbsp; Go figure why I continued to wear them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-scholl---i-quite-like-you#post-1434727 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 21:02:26 +0000 retailgirl 1434727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved those way back when! Late 60's to the early 70's. They used to sell them at pharmacies and they cost $12.95, I think. They came in navy, bone and red. With my bell bottoms and a pocket tee, and a d-ring ribbon belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-scholl---i-quite-like-you#post-1434696 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 20:04:10 +0000 Astrid 1434696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've tried Dr. Scholls and they don't work on my feet at all. Now Birks I love, but I couldn't get the Scholls off fast enough... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-scholl---i-quite-like-you#post-1434639 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 18:34:00 +0000 Anonymous 1434639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't want to do a full-blown duplication of the '70s, or of any other decade. I just want to add little touches here and there that work for me and remind me of the things I liked about that period of my life. There are things I didn't like, too, and I'll just skip those. Also, there are certain things that I could rock back then that I'm quite certain I'd need to avoid this time around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-scholl---i-quite-like-you#post-1434637 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 18:29:54 +0000 Gaylene 1434637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big Dr. Scholl fan in the 70s and 80s because I found the wooden footbed very comfortable--although I wonder if it would be the same forty years later. It would be hard to resist any of those, though, if I saw them in the stores. </p> <p>I actually love the thought of playing around with touches of 70s fashion, but I think I'd avoid any attempts at full-on duplication. New has always been more interesting to me than looking back so I've never been much for re-visiting my former looks. I must admit, though, I get a kick out of seeing the youngsters sporting outfits eerily similar to what I used to wear when I was their age. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-scholl---i-quite-like-you#post-1434620 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 17:55:14 +0000 Beth Ann 1434620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These cured me of my pigeon-toed stride in 6th grade.&nbsp; If you can imagine, I would hit the inside of my ankle bone with the shoe if I turned in my toes --- ouch!&nbsp; I was cured, but I still have scars.</p> <p>I would buy a pair of these each summer.&nbsp; By the end of the warm months, the wood would be worn down to a splinter.&nbsp; I still remember the satifying "whack whack" sound as I walked down the street.&nbsp; Not sure that's such a good thing for the heels, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dr-scholl---i-quite-like-you#post-1434612 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 17:49:05 +0000 rachylou 1434612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good colours!</p> <p>But hahaha!
