I just ordered the Born Sheenas to try too (and they are on sale) - he's been here two days in a row and now will have to come back again. It's a 7-8&nbsp; minute journey on a windy, hilly, deer populated road into the neighborhood to make it to our house.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-sneaks---looking-for-stylecomfort-compromise#post-1304386 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 21:04:54 +0000 texstyle 1304386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana - thanks for sharing - I should really look at oxfords too I guess (at least those with more cushion) and just be sure I know what all is out there. Those Borns are really cute but I think I want a solid color this time. I can't explain exactly why but I feel like there is a certain "lake camp" look I'm after for fall/winter and the snake print seems a little more urban. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-sneaks---looking-for-stylecomfort-compromise#post-1304374 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 20:55:31 +0000 Diana 1304374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have these snake print Born sneakers, which are very comfy with my orthotics inserted.&nbsp; The leather is very soft.&nbsp; On me, the tan snake is a quasi-nude.</p> <p>I also have Converse Hi-Nesses in grey, and a bunch of oxfords.&nbsp; I know you said no oxfords, but I just wanted to put out there that my Born Arlettas have super soft leather and feel like sneakers.&nbsp; I don't think they make Arlettas any more but you might be able to find some on ebay.&nbsp; And I think these are similar if you don't mind the multicolor look:</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/born-ashleigh-black-bianco?ef_id=UyCifQAAActM-3Yk:20140715205536:s" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/born-ash.....15205536:s</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-sneaks---looking-for-stylecomfort-compromise#post-1304361 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 20:43:32 +0000 texstyle 1304361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz - I'm leaning towards the darker too but haven't tried them both on yet (just got the darker color today). I'll try to do some pics to compare. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-sneaks---looking-for-stylecomfort-compromise#post-1304357 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 20:41:22 +0000 Suz 1304357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tex, I slightly prefer the darker ones and think they would pick up the golden and caramel&nbsp;tones in your hair really well. They'd also look great with denim. But the others might be lower contrast. Maybe take some pictures for us?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-sneaks---looking-for-stylecomfort-compromise#post-1304336 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 20:28:33 +0000 texstyle 1304336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne - thanks for the link. I did look online at those Born shoes as an option too, I think these are fairly similar in style, I may try them as well.</p> <p>Suz - Glad you think they might pass, I wonder if you have a preference for one color over the other? I worry a little about the sand color looking a bit too frumpy (senior?) I guess.</p> <p>Claire - thanks for your input, I should have included a link.</p> <p>Cindy- I did check out your post and like your choices for dark hair.</p> <p>Marin- I may try those Frye shoes myself but I thought I read a reviewer saying they were stiff and that worried me.</p> <p>Glory - thanks for sharing. It seems that the general style is actually pretty popular so that's encouraging. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-sneaks---looking-for-stylecomfort-compromise#post-1304241 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 19:07:10 +0000 Glory 1304241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the joseph seibel - but not the caspians.

I like the cross between a shoe and sneaker. I also just posted a few photos of sneakers myself. Check out the post titled, Business Travel in Comfort: Sneaker Edition. Good luck finding the right pair for you and your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-sneaks---looking-for-stylecomfort-compromise#post-1304137 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 17:30:07 +0000 Anonymous 1304137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those pictures don't open up much bigger than their thumbnails, so its hard to see. I like the looks of the chestnut&nbsp;ones if they blend well with the darker tones in your hair. I think they would look good--plenty flattering enough--with jeans, chinos&nbsp;and shorts, and I think that's mostly what you wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-sneaks---looking-for-stylecomfort-compromise#post-1304131 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 17:27:04 +0000 Suz 1304131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can actually see those on you! They look like a good option. I think for your style they would be more than flattering enough. They're cute!&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't really own shoes. That's a slight exaggeration, but only slight. True "shoe" season is so short here. I just got my first oxfords on sale from Zara and look forward to wearing those. I also have my Cons. Other than that, for casual wear (or dressy wear for the most part) it's booties all the way for me.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think if I lived in your climate, I'd be in serious despair (or else buying up a lot of summer weight booties) because shoes are so tough for me to fit -- especially flats. They'd need to be lace up to stay on. Which pretty much means oxfords or sneakers.&nbsp;</p> <p>I can't wait to see these in an outfit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-sneaks---looking-for-stylecomfort-compromise#post-1304129 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 17:24:49 +0000 Anne likes red 1304129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have these sneakers in blue, but here they are in tan:<br /> <a href="http://www.bornshoes.com/Product.aspx?ProductID=9235" rel="nofollow">http://www.bornshoes.com/Produ.....uctID=9235</a></p> <p>Not sure if the color is light enough for your book ending needs?</p> <p>They've been very comfortable and my go to shoe this summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-sneaks---looking-for-stylecomfort-compromise#post-1304074 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 16:29:41 +0000 texstyle 1304074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all - I'm shopping for a pair of fall sneakers for everyday kind of wear. Backstory is I saw a young woman wearing a similar pair in soft leather at a cafe recently and I stopped and asked her where she got them. Her's were 5 years old and no longer available from Lands End. But I loved the way the chestnut color worked with her similar blonde toned hair. I want mine to be comfortable without socks or with thin footie socks and I was hoping to bookend my hair. I'm having a hard time as I don't like anything that looks like Converse or has a logo (New Balance, etc.). Most of the options I'm finding veer towards bowling shoe style&nbsp; - I found&nbsp; these UGG Tomi's (two color options) and I'm considering them.</p> <p>I got the sand color first as I wanted to try both, and they are comfortable. Waiting on the chestnut color now. DH thought they were JFE and had a sort of "I could work at Marine Land vibe."</p> <p>I don't want a hard leather oxford as they are just too stiff for my liking.</p> <p>Looking for input - should I keep looking or could these be JFE?</p> <p>Besides booties or oxfords what do you plan to wear in fall for everyday comfort sort of shoes? </p> <p>Edit: Adding link for Claire and whoever else:</p> <p><a href="http://vip.zappos.com/ugg-tomi" rel="nofollow">http://vip.zappos.com/ugg-tomi</a></p> </p>
