Both seem to me to echo the shoe points. I really like the gold Old Navy booties too, though. Franco Sartos are so amazing looking, if not comfy enough you may not wear much which is a shame... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-comfort-shoes/page/2#post-1863032 Fri, 24 Nov 2017 05:20:28 +0000 karen13 1863032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 then #2 are my favorites. Shoes are bought. We have JFE (Just Flattering Enough) but I admit to having JCE (Just Comfortable Enough) &nbsp;shoes in my closet.

I’ll see how that looks and feels with. </p> <p>Harmonica - hopefully he likes it too. I’m looking forward to the reveal. </p> <p>Thanks Cindy. I think 4 is nice too. The necklace is a lot lighter ( and needs less adjusting)</p> <p>Bijou - thanks. I think sandals are more comfy cause they let my toes spread out more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-comfort-shoes/page/2#post-1862924 Thu, 23 Nov 2017 13:38:49 +0000 Bijou 1862924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a beautiful outfit and lovely with the necklaces (3 and 4 are both gorgeous). I totally empathise about the shoes. I also find dressy sandals a bit more comfortable than really dressy shoes. The gold does look stunning with your jumpsuit.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-comfort-shoes/page/2#post-1862916 Thu, 23 Nov 2017 13:24:50 +0000 cindysmith 1862916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My jaw hit the floor because this jumpsuit is stunning on you!

If they were immediately uncomfortable I would have ruled them out. I am just not sure how it will go with quite a bit of walking. </p> <p>Aida - I don’t have any nude dress shoes right now. I got rid of most of my dressy shoes recently due to the heels being too high. Also, I’ve skewed more to sandals for dressy in the past, so I really could use a pair of neutral dress shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-comfort-shoes#post-1862782 Wed, 22 Nov 2017 22:53:41 +0000 Aida 1862782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect with the gold pumps! #1, #3, and #4 all look great to me. Do you have other nude dress shoes? I can see these lasting a good while as a "better than nude" dress shoe in all kinds of dressy outfits. Good with jeans if you like a good dressy-casual mix, probably for transitional weather for you. Though I suppose all that is moot if they end up uncomfortable! Body glide would definitely help with rubbing issues but not pinching. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-comfort-shoes#post-1862781 Wed, 22 Nov 2017 22:49:19 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1862781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 looks great, but if you’re going to wear the earrings, then I’d say #2.</p> <p>I’m not big on shoes that aren’t comfortable—to me, comfort and wearability are pretty much the same thing. But if you’re fine with them, go for it. I hear you on your casual lifestyle, but think these might be a perfect fit for that. They are a pretty timeless style and can go with nearly any color, any season. So if you get a surprise invite to a wedding in the summer and then the one Broadway show you want to see comes to town a year later, you’ll be able to wear them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-comfort-shoes#post-1862775 Wed, 22 Nov 2017 22:38:08 +0000 delurked 1862775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like #3 is a favorite. </p> <p>Sara - I’m not crazy about a limited use shoe either. My life has become so informal that I don’t dress up much. I really like how it looks, and they aren’t comfortable or too uncomfortable. If they felt bad I’d return them. I just know that a pointy toe plus the ankle strap can lead to problems if there’s too much walking involved. I actually just got some body glide. I’ve never tried it before, so thanks for reminding me that could work here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-comfort-shoes#post-1862722 Wed, 22 Nov 2017 19:31:27 +0000 Sara L. 1862722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the love for #3 - the pointy shoes and the dramatic necklace look great.&nbsp; I'm a little concerned though that you wouldn't be able to use the shoes again.&nbsp; I don't like buying items and only wearing them once.&nbsp; Body Glide might help with comfort if there are rubbing issues. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-comfort-shoes#post-1862721 Wed, 22 Nov 2017 19:25:11 +0000 skylurker 1862721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #3, sharp and glam. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-comfort-shoes#post-1862709 Wed, 22 Nov 2017 18:58:05 +0000 Angie 1862709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 is KILLER Perfect. </p> <p>Done and dusted.

They just seem to be on a circuitous route to my home. They’re scheduled to arrive Friday. If they work I’ll have wasted the time looking at other things. I just know I’m hard to fit shoes, so I wanted more options to try to find the right thing. I will report back once they finally arrive. </p> <p>Texstyle- I have a pair of Sofft boots I am wearing today.

I think the two pumps are not “party” enough for that fab jumpsuit.

I’ve got two options coming - the Franco Sarto Angie recommended and some old navy gold booties I saw when looking after lisap recommended hers. I am on the fence if I will keep either of the two others (for a business casual purpose). I think my indecision on those may in fact be a decision. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-comfort-shoes#post-1861949 Mon, 20 Nov 2017 02:53:23 +0000 Anonymous 1861949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the gold sandals in #4, if it is warm enough to wear sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-comfort-shoes#post-1861802 Sun, 19 Nov 2017 16:53:08 +0000 delurked 1861802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the suggestions Fashiontern. If the gold ones don’t work out when they get here, I’ll need to try something else. </p> <p>Skylurker - I was trying to do multiple things with the Clarks. Be fancy and be work appropriate. Of course that’s a tough combo. The Frye boots are a bit heavy and more structured than I’m used to. I kept them on for a while yesterday, and I was liking them more the longer they were on because putting them on was like putting on cowboy boots in that I really had to push my heel down to put my foot in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-comfort-shoes#post-1861548 Sat, 18 Nov 2017 09:17:41 +0000 skylurker 1861548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, Angie recommended a pair of gold heeled loafers recently <a href="https://youlookfab.com/2017/11/15/fab-finds-shoes-tops-jewellery/" rel="nofollow">https://youlookfab.com/2017/11.....jewellery/</a></p> <p>Otherwise, the Clarks look too casual to me, but I like the Taryn Rose, with silver or bright colour rather than gold, maybe.<br /> Are the Frye heavy? I had a pair of Frye Carson oxfords, found them real sturdy, weather proof, indestructible, but heavy and so a bit tiresome to walk in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-comfort-shoes#post-1861516 Sat, 18 Nov 2017 03:38:16 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1861516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It makes total sense not to pay a lot for shoes you’d wear only rarely.<br /> I went online to look up the boots I thought I saw in the store today, and came up nearly dry, but maybe some of these will work for you.

I see what you mean. I was just looking at LisaP’s thread, and she had a pair of booties from Old Navy. I looked at their offerings and they have a low heeled gold bootie. I’m probably going to give those a try.

TBH, I’m hoping to not pay that amount on shoes unless they could work into lots of outfits for me. At this point, they wouldn’t get much use that I can seee. The necklace was pretty inexpensive, so I could try that. I want to start with the shoes and work my way up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-comfort-shoes#post-1861449 Fri, 17 Nov 2017 23:28:05 +0000 delurked 1861449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kat - thanks. I am definitely interested in several of these. They run the gamut from dressier to more something I could wear to work. I think I’ve even tried on and considered the Clarks before. I must admit the last sparkly one is super fun. I think I will wait to get the Franco Sarto before I start ordering a bunch more. I’m looking forward to getting the shoes settled so I can make sure I’m happy with the accessories. </p>
