They look marginally blah to me.

I have never been disappointed in the quality or comfort of that brand, even if they didn't fit my freaky ass feet. Another good brand to look at is Naya.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-mom-shoes#post-1044211 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 20:16:11 +0000 AviaMariah 1044211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can easily get the "stealth frump" in my shoe wardrobe too as I need mine to be supportive. &nbsp;Like some others said - I think you could get away with these with the right outfit. &nbsp;But I'm in love with some of these that Anna And Diana posted. &nbsp;Off to look.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-mom-shoes#post-1044203 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 20:05:41 +0000 Thistle 1044203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some of those are gorgeous!!&nbsp; I wonder if I could get them to fit into my feminine style. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-mom-shoes#post-1044200 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 20:02:21 +0000 biscuitsmom 1044200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BAD, BAD Diana!

(ETA and not cute/weird enough to be the funky chunky sort of style like some fluevogs)&nbsp; Does that make any sense at all? &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> <p>Not an oxford, but do you like these? I tried them and was sad they did not fit me (instep/heel was too deep for my flat feet and they wouldn't stay on so they'd probably fit someone with a normal foot).&nbsp; They were pretty comfy.<br /><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/born-ginni-flat/3609189?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=2375500&amp;fashionColor=&amp;resultback=0&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_1_B" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/bo.....contextual</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-mom-shoes#post-1044166 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 19:26:09 +0000 Von 1044166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see these going two ways.&nbsp; Either you can wear some cute tuxedo pants, or crops and be very trendy with them...or you can wear them with khaki pants and something totally plain and make them look like you snagged the wrong pair from the closet this morning.&nbsp; I personally wouldn't have the energy to put into making them fab every time. </p> <p>Maybe something <a href="http://www.naturalizer.com/en-US/Product/EC0211718-3011395/Naturalizer/Black+Leather/Jaslynn.aspx" rel="nofollow">more like this</a>, a little taller than a penny loafer would be easier to style? </p> <p>I also have some cute oxford booties that I've worn with dresses and skirts, but also slacks.&nbsp; (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Etienne-Aigner-Womens-Quest-Black/dp/B0050UQZK4" rel="nofollow">I have these in two colors</a>!) </p> <p>I like comfy shoes also, and tend to stick with certain brands that I can wear a taller heel with because the shoes are made more comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-mom-shoes#post-1044165 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 19:25:52 +0000 biscuitsmom 1044165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol@AG! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-mom-shoes#post-1044162 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 19:24:15 +0000 catgirl 1044162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stealth frump!

For that price (high for me) they have to be at least a 8 in comfort, and these weren't. However, I have really fussy duck feet, so keep that in mind. What color were you thinking of getting?<br /> ETA, DROOLING over the luxe gold ones she posted, but I need a wide shoe and lower cost :(</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-mom-shoes#post-1044158 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 19:21:03 +0000 catgirl 1044158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are cute but a bit off in shape somehow.

Period. 1044157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are fine, Thistle. I don't think they are super fashion forward, but they certainly aren't frumpy to my eye. &nbsp;It would all depend on what you pair them with. &nbsp;As long as you keep the rest stylish (which I know you would), then they'll look fine. And I have to add the disclaimer that it all depends on how they look on the foot. &nbsp;I've been ambushed before by stealth frump. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-mom-shoes#post-1044156 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 19:20:54 +0000 annagybe 1044156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/dolce-vita-ollie-flat/3620691?origin=category&#038;contextualcategoryid=0&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=472" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/do.....ltback=472</a></p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/attilio-giusti-leombruni-luxe-tie-oxford/3459489?origin=category&#038;contextualcategoryid=0&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=5568" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/at.....tback=5568</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-mom-shoes#post-1044155 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 19:18:44 +0000 annagybe 1044155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you need a wide shoe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-or-mom-shoes#post-1044154 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 19:17:38 +0000 Thistle 1044154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want your honesty.

I love sandals and own too many for my climate. However, looking through my fall/winter shoes and booties, I am amazed at how many frumpy shoes I really do have. </p> <p>I am looking for exquisitely comfortable, low heeled, fab shoes.&nbsp; I know,&nbsp;a unicorn with a pot of gold under a rainbow would probably be easier to find!</p> <p>Wouldn't mind finding some pewter or other metallic bootie, but so far, nothing has worked.</p> <p>I did spy these: <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/munro-ascot-oxford/3192125?origin=wishlist" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/mu.....n=wishlist</a></p> <p>Are these fab workhorses or are they mom shoes trying to trick me into thinking they are fab? </p>
