I still think the black might not look as bad as these, but I agree that the other options are better, although more expensive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fugly-beyond-the-pale/page/2#post-1791793 Mon, 27 Mar 2017 09:39:02 +0000 Style Fan 1791793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Shellys.&nbsp; Very funky looking.</p> <p>I have very difficult feet.&nbsp; I also have a pair of Trippin boots.&nbsp; Very comfortable and funky looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fugly-beyond-the-pale/page/2#post-1791785 Mon, 27 Mar 2017 08:27:06 +0000 approprio 1791785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am all over those Shellys, a shop for which I have some very fond memories. I quite liked the rejects but these are so much better. Very you. Please order them!</p> <p>A thought on fussy feet: this summer I'll be wearing a pair of favourite sandals with a padded silicone insole. Haven't tried them all day yet but early signs are promising.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fugly-beyond-the-pale/page/2#post-1791703 Mon, 27 Mar 2017 00:04:47 +0000 DonnaF 1791703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for taking the time to comment: Angie; Emily K(x2); Jenni NZ; delurked; Ledonna; Rachylou; Firecracker; Gail; Momo(x2); Alexandra(x2); Xtabay(x2); kkards; Staysfit; JAileen(x2); Janet(x2); Viva; gradfashionista; deb; bella; Andrea H; approprio; unfrumped(x2); Ryce; Ornella; and anyone and everyone I inadvertently omitted.&nbsp; I am truly touched.</p> <p>These sandals are going back.&nbsp; I ordered the black ones out of curiosity but also in a medium width.&nbsp; I may order the Shellys London sandals to replace my pewter Fly Londons (same style, different color as below) which are starting to look shabby and are also a fugly sandal.&nbsp; Fugly seems to give me the best fit and support. </p> <p>My takeaways, and maybe this applies to you as well:&nbsp; </p> <p>1.&nbsp; If I am unsure and have to ask, it is more likely than not a sign that it should be returned.</p> <p>2.&nbsp; Take photos, even if you show no one else.&nbsp; I have a tendency to buy too big, and the looseness of these shoes was not so evident until I saw the photos.&nbsp; </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fugly-beyond-the-pale/page/2#post-1791698 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 23:12:32 +0000 unfrumped 1791698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those just don't fit your feet.<br /> Next! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fugly-beyond-the-pale/page/2#post-1791674 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 21:08:57 +0000 Anonymous 1791674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are probably already aware of this, but I just wanted to give a rec of the Barking Dog shoe blog, which does reviews of shoes for a variety of foot problems and conditions (and often includes pictures of them on the foot).<br /> I hope this is ok within Angie and Greg's terms of aervice - if not, apologies and please let me know and I will delete.<br /> Those pewter ones are pretty cool - I can just imagine you rocking them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fugly-beyond-the-pale/page/2#post-1791666 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 20:44:35 +0000 Momo 1791666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They do look too wide may look better in black but the pewter ones are awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fugly-beyond-the-pale#post-1791647 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 19:21:48 +0000 Alexandra 1791647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look like they don't fit right - too wide.

Whatever it is, it's not helping.

I thought they would be low contrast but I am not sure I could bring myself to wear them out of the house. I also ordered the blue flowered one but DH said they look like grandma shoes on me and I agree.</p> <p>I just ordered the black ones in this size and in a regular width "just to see".</p> <p>The fugly pewter ones below are more my style. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fugly-beyond-the-pale#post-1791602 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 16:42:26 +0000 Andrea H 1791602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on team "you dress so cool that these will look funky not frumpy." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fugly-beyond-the-pale#post-1791601 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 16:32:50 +0000 bella 1791601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they have an interesting sporty vibe going on, so I don't find them downright dowdy. Of course, you'd have to judge them on your feet but I think they have potential.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fugly-beyond-the-pale#post-1791600 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 16:25:16 +0000 deb 1791600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the floral ones would be ok because they are different on purpose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fugly-beyond-the-pale#post-1791598 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 16:08:10 +0000 gradfashionista 1791598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the right have potential. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fugly-beyond-the-pale#post-1791592 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 15:44:32 +0000 viva 1791592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd really need to see them on to form a solid opinion, but I just wanted to commiserate. Even though our issues are different, I am having my own challenges finding shoes that work. Shoes are HARD. Ultimately, you really have to be comfortable, don't you? &nbsp;:( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fugly-beyond-the-pale#post-1791588 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 15:20:30 +0000 Janet 1791588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really need to see them on the foot to judge. Sometimes it's surprising what looks funky rather than frumpy. </p> <p>I don't like the lighter ones at all. Maybe the black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fugly-beyond-the-pale#post-1791579 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 14:46:25 +0000 JAileen 1791579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd like to see them on your foot, too. That's one thing I like about Zappos over Nordstrom. They usually have a video showing someone walking and standing in them. Zappos doesn't seem to have these particular shoes, though. I didn't realize you had foot problems. I thought you wore all those clogs because you were so cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fugly-beyond-the-pale#post-1791567 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 13:58:44 +0000 Staysfit 1791567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I might try them for the discounted price in black. I need to see them on your foot. Sometimes shoes look so different when attached to a leg than alone it's hard to judge. They may make great casual weekend shoes for activities like grocery shopping, running errands, etc. I'm less inclined to vet them for more formal uses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fugly-beyond-the-pale#post-1791563 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 13:40:16 +0000 kkards 1791563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ditto what alexandra said....need to see them on. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fugly-beyond-the-pale#post-1791560 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 13:27:46 +0000 Anonymous 1791560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're not so bad.&nbsp; Sometimes you just have to go with comfortable for your hardworking feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fugly-beyond-the-pale#post-1791554 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 13:07:55 +0000 Alexandra 1791554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How do they look on your feet? Sometimes shoes that look ugly on the shelf are actually quite cute once they're on your feet. (And vice versa - some cute-on-the-shelf shoes make you go 'ugh, no' when you try them on.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fugly-beyond-the-pale#post-1791550 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 13:01:20 +0000 Momo 1791550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them and would wear them if they looks good on my foot, Depends on what you wear with them, I agree you need a kind of funky look to pull them off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fugly-beyond-the-pale#post-1791542 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 12:25:47 +0000 approprio 1791542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am 100% with Ledonna, rachylou and Firecracker on these. This is the cute end of fugly and I can see you wearing them with panache. I prefer them in black, but the beige is kind of fun and and I'm strangely drawn to the floral version. I say give them a go. I'd love to see them on you.</p> <p>Also, if you're having problems, may I recommend you look at Trippen?&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fugly-beyond-the-pale#post-1791541 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 12:25:43 +0000 unfrumped 1791541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kinda marginal but I hear ya.<br /> Not sure what footwear " style" or purpose you're trying to get in a comfort shoe-- meaning, open toe or rubbed some or wide toe box, or, skirts, pants, casual, church.<br /> My only point is that would affect my choices and whether I could use an actual footwear trend such as sneakers or loafers to get the job done even if that were not my first choice for outfit styling if my feet weren't fussy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fugly-beyond-the-pale#post-1791539 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 12:13:36 +0000 Gail 1791539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find them to be funky looking , but only in the black.</p>
