Those flats from the Gap are nice and I was on Target this weekend and they had a good selection there as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-obstacle-#post-53719 Tue, 10 Mar 2009 14:31:48 +0000 Lee Hovey 53719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a mild stress fracture in my left tibia caused by upping my mileage too quickly while training for a 10k. So 2 weeks on crutches (or until I can weight bare with no pain), and I start physical therapy Thursday which will determine when I can run again.</p> <p>It's really mild, but they are having me stay off it because I asked what the quickest recovery path could be! I am hoping to at least still do the 5k in may instead of 10k, and my co-workers are highly concerned with if I will be able to participate in our softball league (I am co-captian). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-obstacle-#post-53713 Tue, 10 Mar 2009 14:20:09 +0000 Angie 53713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh dear. Whats going on? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-obstacle-#post-53686 Tue, 10 Mar 2009 03:55:27 +0000 Maya 53686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How come you're on crutches in the first place? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-obstacle-#post-53684 Tue, 10 Mar 2009 03:49:58 +0000 Kari 53684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kendra, as a fellow size 8-8.5, I share your pain about Old Navy shoes. But luckily, more and more of them are becoming available in half sizes.</p> <p>RE: the trouble with ballet flats, maybe you can find flats where the back of the shoe hits at a different place (maybe higher on the ankle). Taping moleskin to the back of the shoe might help a little, but you don't want to wear anything that gives you blisters.</p> <p>I hope that your injury heals quickly, and take it easy in the meantime. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-obstacle-#post-53680 Tue, 10 Mar 2009 03:23:47 +0000 shana 53680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are the shoes I saw at the gap:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=34759&#038;pid=625331" rel="nofollow">http://www.gap.com/browse/prod.....pid=625331</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=34759&#038;pid=625349" rel="nofollow">http://www.gap.com/browse/prod.....pid=625349</a></p> <p>They would be a great deal once you factor the 30% off from the GAP G&#38;G promotion starting on Thursday... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-obstacle-#post-53676 Tue, 10 Mar 2009 03:12:59 +0000 Lee Hovey 53676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the advice Shana! I can't decide which bothers me more, not being able to run, or not being able to wear my cute pumps! *sigh* This will be a good practice in my self control...</p> <p>Thanks for the tips on flat, I will have to check those out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-obstacle-#post-53674 Tue, 10 Mar 2009 03:08:10 +0000 shana 53674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about your injury. Don't push it - I did that after I sprained my ankle and it ended up taking months and months to heal, all because I was being too impatient! I wore some ridiculous 3 in wedges to an event where I had to walk and walk all because I was so concerned about looking good. Boy, did I pay the price for that one. My advice - listen to your PT!!!</p> <p>Target has all sorts of cute flats. I also saw some really pretty suede ones on sale at the Gap (in store) - in Persimmon, tan and gray and they were about $19.99 and under (I think the Persimmon ones were $14.99 or maybe even lower). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-obstacle-#post-53667 Tue, 10 Mar 2009 02:36:11 +0000 Lee Hovey 53667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG I know the girls of AcademicChic give me flats envy!! I have had trouble with ballet flats in the past, they seem to always cut in to the back of my right heel, giving me a blister. But I will try again, I just wish Old Navy would carry 1/2 sizes!!! (I am an 8.5)</p> <p>And I ok, I have a mild stress fracture in my left tibia caused by upping my mileage too quickly while training for a 10k. So 2 weeks on crutches (or until I can weight bare with no pain), and I start physical therapy thursday which will determine when I can run again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-obstacle-#post-53665 Tue, 10 Mar 2009 02:25:50 +0000 Kari 53665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! Hope you are okay.</p> <p>I know you have some great items from Old Navy, so wanted to point out that they have a bunch of cute ballet flats right now. <a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/category.do?cid=5523" rel="nofollow">http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/category.do?cid=5523</a><br /> Recently I've seen the girls from AcademicChic feature cute flats from both Old Navy and Target, so inexpensive options are out there if you need just one more pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-obstacle-#post-53664 Tue, 10 Mar 2009 02:09:02 +0000 Lee Hovey 53664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I will be on crutches for at least 2 weeks, and who knows when I will be cleared to wear anything other than flats.</p> <p>I will certainly need to get another pair of flats. Currently my options in my closet are:<br /> 1. Pink Converse<br /> 2. Red patent maryjane flat<br /> 3. Turquise flat with jewels on toes (dressier)<br /> 4. bronze, pointy, kitten heels (flat for me!)<br /> 5. Retired jogging sneaks<br /> 6. Navy Ked's wedge (questionable)</p> <p>I also have a brown and black pair of tall boots with 1 inch heels. </p> <p>I really don't want to live in jogging shoes for 2 weeks... how sad!! I will miss my pretty pumps... :(</p> <p>Sorry had to vent about shoe withdrawl to people who may understand! </p>
