Men's shoes also tend to be plainer and plainer, the more formal you get (a black plain-toe oxford is more formal than a black wingtip).</p> <p>I tend to follow men's shoe formality "rules" when I wear these kinds of shoes, but I think one of the great things about playing with androgyny is the ability to just ignore these rules, too.....&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fans-of-stompyandrogynous-shoes-show-me-your-fancy-footwear#post-1768104 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 13:29:02 +0000 RobinF 1768104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, some really great shoes and boots here! LP, I love a lot of your choices, especially the laceless oxfords and the Chelsea boots. To me, laces make it look more casual and I think you are trying to get a little less casual right? The smoking slippers are fun too, kind of 50's casual glamour to me. I love the silver options too for being slightly dressier. Would they work with black pants?</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fans-of-stompyandrogynous-shoes-show-me-your-fancy-footwear#post-1768092 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 11:50:21 +0000 LaPed 1768092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jacquez -- I'm a men's 7, too, so that's definitely an option. I do find that some men's styles lengthen my foot more than I'd like and feel a bit like clown shoes; I'm always on the lookout for men's styles with a shorter toebox.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fans-of-stompyandrogynous-shoes-show-me-your-fancy-footwear#post-1768056 Thu, 12 Jan 2017 04:22:53 +0000 jacquez 1768056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My feet are large enough to wear men's size 7s, which opens up my non-feminine shoe options a LOT. There are also some vendors geared at gender-creative folks that have great shoes. One brand is Nik Kacy.</p> <p>My nicest dress shoes are Calvin Klein monkstraps, men's size 7. They are very similar to the ones in my finds. I need to get some nicer pairs, I think, but these are my dress-shoe go-tos! Simple, and go with most everything. Next on my list to acquire is oxblood oxfords in a slightly more-formal style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fans-of-stompyandrogynous-shoes-show-me-your-fancy-footwear#post-1767934 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 22:56:52 +0000 cheryl 1767934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am loving the eye candy on this thread.

This thread is full of amazing eye candy. It looks like I'll have to figure out how to browse Yoox effectively; they have so much cool stuff it's intimidating.&nbsp;</p> <p>Angie -- thanks for chiming in. My tastes definitely skew casual, and so does my community. In a couple decades of attending weddings and funerals, I have yet to attend one that isn't held entirely outdoors. Except for the winter holiday, all of DH's office's parties are held outdoors. At the concerts and fundraisers we've attended in the past year, the dressy standard seems to be defined as Eileen Fisher separates and patent Danskos. There is this tricky intersection that I find very difficult to nail: not formal, not casual, but not office attire. How do you go fancy but not over-the-top?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fans-of-stompyandrogynous-shoes-show-me-your-fancy-footwear#post-1767671 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 06:35:42 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1767671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I fall into this category, and I don't really have any dressy shoes. I have one pair of smoking slippers that is a bit worn, and that's about it. In fact, I have birthday plans that involve a dressy dresscode and I am trying to decide between my brown Softspots booties and my old brown harness boots. A pair of black Chelsea boots might fill that gap for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fans-of-stompyandrogynous-shoes-show-me-your-fancy-footwear#post-1767661 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 05:56:06 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1767661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with you on the androgynous footwear bandwagon and I can recommend Yoox as a good place to find tons of chunky, funky and comfortable shoe/boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fans-of-stompyandrogynous-shoes-show-me-your-fancy-footwear#post-1767654 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 05:08:37 +0000 gradfashionista 1767654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Repetto has matte and patent oxfords, as well as black laceless ones wth a rose gold tongue.</p> <p>Start here:</p> <p><a href="http://luxury.zappos.com/p/repetto-eole-noir-black/product/8774587/color/600837" rel="nofollow">http://luxury.zappos.com/p/rep.....lor/600837</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fans-of-stompyandrogynous-shoes-show-me-your-fancy-footwear#post-1767627 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 02:56:58 +0000 Jaime 1767627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh amazing eye candy.

They discontinued the cap-toe oxford that I have, but they still sell a wingtip. I wear a men's/kid's 5 / women's 6.5 or 7 / euro 37, and they go up to a kid's 7. Men's shoes fit me better than women's, if I can find them small enough, so high-quality boy's shoes are a dream come true. Do you fit men's shoes?</p> <p>Check out the shoes at the Canadian store Gravitypope. They always have a lot of interesting, stompy shoes.

Pointy heels, pointy toes, low vamps, etc. don't do very much for me as a general rule. I'm trying to build out my footwear collection this year to include a couple dressier, or at least smart-casual styles. I'm not in need of office wear or cocktail party shoes, just stuff that will work for the occasional meeting, possibly a job interview, and low-key weddings/holiday parties/etc.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm in the process of trying on black oxfords, looking for something refined enough to not say "postal service" -- I have a pair of Fryes and a pair of Nisolos on the way. I'm also thinking of adding a refined chelsea boot or similar ankle height option, and maybe a simple lightweight loafer (though they are really difficult for me to fit, so maybe a ballet flat or ghillie flat or mary jane is a better option). I'm also attracted to some of the laceless oxfords floating around out there. I prefer wearing flat shoes but 1-2 inch heels aren't off the table if the shoe is comfortable. I need a wide toebox too!</p> <p>Some Finds below as a brainstorm, but I would love some recommendations to narrow my options. TIA. </p>
