I just lost my response. I am wearing my Pumas as I type. . .</p> <p>I wore the perforated booties out and about yesterday. They were reasonably comfy mostly due to the low heel, but weren't out of this world comfy (a rarity for me) so the black ones are going back.</p> <p>I wore the mules yesterday afternoon and evening with my Smartwool footies on because my feet were cold. Yeah, tacky. But the mules didn't budge even going down stairs. But maybe looser if I had bare feet? No speed walking because I have a small house.</p> <p>Lesson: I may be able to wear mules if vertical space is low/shallow, the leather is soft, and the cut on the sides is high. I also have my eyes on the gray Sartos which look like they may fit. NOTE: They also come in COPPER and NAVY.&nbsp;</p> <p>P.S. I just ordered the black suede Cole Haans which just went on sale. By the time they arrive, I will know for sure if my cordovan ones are as comfortable as they seem.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-review-1#post-1944197 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 14:44:11 +0000 Angie 1944197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Donna F,</b> thanks for the great reviews. You rock.&nbsp;</p> <p>Everyone has loved those Pumas. Good show. Glad they worked for you too.&nbsp;</p> <p>Waving at my Pikolino bootie twin. Fun that you're bookending your skin tone - <b>Keix </b>is too.&nbsp;</p> <p>The mules LOOK great. You'll have to wear them around the house to see if they stay on.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-review-1#post-1944165 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 13:40:08 +0000 Preppy Pear 1944165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm - the mules look really good. Would you be happier in a similar flat that had a back, or do you really like the look of the mule style? I ask because I do like the mule style, but for me the look is outweighed by the hassle. </p> <p>Thanks much for your thoughts on the DV booties! I just received the gray ones and am unsure of the color - I think you are right about the hint of lavender. I don’t need any more black shoes or boots but I am now thinking about trying the cognac instead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-review-1#post-1944161 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 13:19:07 +0000 Suz 1944161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish I could answer your mules question. I have yet to find a pair that stay on my own feet. I would think with your foot issues you wouldn't want a shoe that makes you curl your toes to keep it on. But maybe these won't. They look good!&nbsp;</p> <p>Crossing fingers for the Pliners, too. And the perforated booties look like they could be great.&nbsp;</p> <p>Good news on the sneakers as well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-review-1#post-1944078 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 08:08:48 +0000 rachylou 1944078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to know about the pumas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-review-1#post-1944048 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 04:13:23 +0000 Echo 1944048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, generally it is the right shoe that gets stretched out from people trying it on. Most stores display right shoes, and most people try on the right shoe first. But regardless, I really hope that one of the new left shoes works out because they are fabulous looking. Regarding the mules, I don't know whether they will stay on or not (they never have for me, but that may be a lack of coordination issue on my part), but they look great. It looks like the fit is spot on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-review-1#post-1944040 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 03:56:47 +0000 bj1111 1944040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love those mules. You’ll have to commit to curling your toes to keep them on especially after they stretch a bit. </p> <p>I enjoyed your elimination process to arrive at the cognac keeper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-review-1#post-1944038 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 03:46:25 +0000 DonnaF 1944038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Four pairs came in today:</p> <p>Pumas: I never hopped on the sneaker train, and my Dansko sneakers have never been all that comfortable because they are so stiff. These Angie Top Picks are great! They work for my wide-ish bunioned feet whereas Allbirds which are supposed to fit *everyone* don’t. Let me know if you want a photo; I think they look nice on the foot — not too heavy. I can’t wear Stan Smiths, Cons, or the like.</p> <p>Cole Haans: Mules generally fly off my feet and I couldn’t get the right fit in Angie’s Naturalizers. What do you think about these? I am trying to figure out if sales and beauty goggles are blinding me or if they will actually stay on.</p> <p>Dolce Vita Booties: I ordered all three colors in these Top Picks. The sort of cognac ones are lighter than the other cognac stuff I own and so look washed out when worn together. But I think they are the color of my arms in summer so I am keeping them to wear with bare legs. The taupish gray ones have a bit of a lavender undertone and are a color I can wear but really don’t own. I think they would be orphaned so are going back. I have a pair of black shooties and two pairs of black booties, none of which I wear that much mostly for comfort reasons. I think I will run the tan booties through its paces before I make my final decision on the black booties. If they are as comfortable as they seem, I will keep the black ones as well and pass on the 3-4 hour booties.</p> <p>And I ordered two (2) more pairs of the python print Donald Pliners in the hopes that I can find a left side that works for me. I don’t think that my left foot is smaller than the right but I think that sometimes the left side gets stretched from people trying it on. </p>
