I agree with your description of #3. My grandmother, and I think Eleanor Roosevelt wore shoes like that, and that's why I don't care for them. People younger than me probably don't have those associations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-review#post-1825900 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 03:55:01 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1825900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the reviews! I think those patent boots are very cool looking. I will say that "patent leather" does not usually equal "comfort" in my experience. Not super comfort, anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-review#post-1825893 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 03:43:43 +0000 Anonymous 1825893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So 1-3 are a no, and 4 a maybe? I am getting a bunch of black boots in new to me brands later this week. I appreciate hearing the feedback. Even, or especially, hearing why things don't work and how they fit is very helpful. Thanks for the reviews. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-review#post-1825890 Wed, 19 Jul 2017 03:39:37 +0000 DonnaF 1825890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First of all, I have the fussiest feet ever.&nbsp; As in my right foot usually hurts 24/7, even without wearing anything and even in bed.&nbsp; I have low volume feet (no arches) with the tiniest heel and wide-ish in front with bunions.&nbsp; This means YMMV.</p> <p>Louise et Cie oxfords:&nbsp; These are extremely soft and the metallic look skews gold.&nbsp; I want a cooler more silver metal.&nbsp; The width is probably TTS so a tiny bit narrow for me.</p> <p>Dansko booties:&nbsp; Dansko clogs generally work for me but the shoes less so.&nbsp; These run a half size short.&nbsp; The front has a bit of a platform so they aren't really a high as labeled.</p> <p>Dansko oxfords:&nbsp; This style of black oxford reminds me of shoes my grandmother wore in her 80s.&nbsp; These were also a tiny bit short but less so than the Dansko booties.&nbsp; I think the only way I will wear oxfords is if they are in a feminine color or at least not black or brown.</p> <p>Patent combat boots:&nbsp; Nordstrom said to size up, and these only come in whole sizes.&nbsp; Sizing up made them the most comfortable of the lot.&nbsp; Patent makes them less masculine than your basic combat boot, and these have a zipper on the side.&nbsp; I need to figure out their exact comfort level and whether I would actually wear them or if they would languish on a shelf like the rest of my boots.&nbsp; I will be traveling to Chicago in November, so it would be nice to have wearable boots then.&nbsp; </p>
