I think we may be BFFs on shoe concerns,likes and sizes and climate (Texans seem v like Brisbaners)... I am going to grab them then = they look even better on than I thought they looked on the site... gotta go and shop! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frumpy-shoe-check-ara-sandal-booties#post-554608 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 20:42:53 +0000 Kappy 554608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! I kept and even wore them yesterday to a movie. They are comfy, and even dh loves them.</p> <p>modgrl - That's a good idea for the Boutique 9's. I will give it a try because that might make them a lot mire comfy. The Ara's are higher than the Boutique's but far more comfortable.</p> <p>Joy - These are a 1/2 size larger than what I usually wear.</p> <p>Meredith and Deborah - Yes, Angie goes have the peep toe oxfords in #3. I copied her last year (they are Boutique 9 Bailar). I was just showing them for comparison because modgrll busted me for possible shoe duplication.</p> <p>jenanded - The ankle on these (size 10) measures about 11 inches around the top. Hopefully that will work for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frumpy-shoe-check-ara-sandal-booties#post-554246 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 10:04:55 +0000 jenanded 554246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kappy, Think these look great! I have been eyeing these off myself... how are the ankle straps in terms of size? I inherited ankles from elephants and that has been holding me back as I will have to import them... I think I am a size above you... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frumpy-shoe-check-ara-sandal-booties#post-554222 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 08:33:05 +0000 rachylou 554222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are some cool shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frumpy-shoe-check-ara-sandal-booties#post-554086 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 03:24:53 +0000 Deborah 554086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both pairs are lovely, modern and edgy!

I love those shoes, Kappy. How is the sizing? The nearly nude color looks like it will go with everything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frumpy-shoe-check-ara-sandal-booties#post-553798 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 21:18:27 +0000 DonnaF 553798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They definitely pass the ultimate frump test: My mother would never ever wear these shoes, would never ever want to wear them, and would never ever consider trying them on, particularly the first pair.

It costs ~$10.</p> <p>I like the new shoes, no frump.

Just switched the pic to compare. I still love my Boutique 9's but honestly they pinch a bit. Angie suggested going up a half size in them, but they didn't make a 10.5. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frumpy-shoe-check-ara-sandal-booties#post-553760 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 20:44:03 +0000 modgrl 553760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you over your boutique9's from last summer? they seem similar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frumpy-shoe-check-ara-sandal-booties#post-553759 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 20:43:55 +0000 Angie 553759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are FAB!</p> <p>No frump factor what so ever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frumpy-shoe-check-ara-sandal-booties#post-553758 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 20:42:32 +0000 Kappy 553758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As a card carrying member of the "Strangely Attracted To Frumpy Shoes" society, I have decided to get YLF approval on every pair of shoes I ever buy for the rest of my life. </p> <p><a href="http://m.zappos.com/ara-riona-taupe-leather" rel="nofollow">http://m.zappos.com/ara-riona-taupe-leather</a></p> <p>These are very comfortable (for me a non heel wearer) 3 inch heels.
