I found these amazing things for toe rubbing and they are a lifesaver (found at DSW)&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.theinsolestore.com/apara-gel-soft-spots.html?source=googleps&amp;gclid=CL_M6ZaS07YCFYtT4Aod5DcAvg">http://www.theinsolestore.com/.....4Aod5DcAvg</a><br /><br />Also a nice slathering of bodyglide, but you're not gonna carry that on your wedding day right? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gold-mini-wedge-face-off#post-910819 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 01:48:21 +0000 Suz 910819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the MJs a lot better. Dressier, more elegant, and more special.&nbsp;But I'm not sure if the higher price combined with lower comfort would make them them the winners.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gold-mini-wedge-face-off#post-910806 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 01:42:12 +0000 Jaime 910806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ MJs look dressier. I like them both but for the event I think maybe the MJs. But walk around with both - nothing looks good when it is not comfortable.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gold-mini-wedge-face-off#post-910801 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 01:40:20 +0000 Angie 910801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I prefer the MJ's. A prettier, dressier and trendier look on your feet. It doesn't sound like the comfort factor is that big of a concern. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gold-mini-wedge-face-off#post-910799 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 01:38:38 +0000 Glory 910799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I prefer the borns on your foot but agree with the above that they are close enough that the choice should be based on comfort https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gold-mini-wedge-face-off#post-910797 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 01:37:50 +0000 Thistle 910797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are really close IMHO. The MJs look a teensy bit more stylish to my eye, but not worth it at all of the Borns are more comfortable. Comfort wins! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gold-mini-wedge-face-off#post-910774 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 01:26:50 +0000 Sarah A 910774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like how the borns look on your feet. The MJ look uncomfortably tight at the top portion of the criss cross. Added bonus that they sounds as though they will be more confortable.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gold-mini-wedge-face-off#post-910751 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 01:13:44 +0000 Anonymous 910751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MJs all the way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gold-mini-wedge-face-off#post-910744 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 01:10:34 +0000 Beth Ann 910744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Borns!&nbsp; I think the single strap across the forefoot is slightly more modern.&nbsp; Both pairs are good, however.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gold-mini-wedge-face-off#post-910736 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 01:02:49 +0000 Janet 910736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a spanner -- I far prefer the MJs. The Borns look a bit too casual to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gold-mini-wedge-face-off#post-910730 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 01:00:14 +0000 Sveta 910730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I prefer MJ because Born has too much toe exposure - doesn't your foot slide forward when you walk in them?<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gold-mini-wedge-face-off#post-910727 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 00:58:33 +0000 Karie 910727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I prefer the less shiny Borns. The MJ's are a little more flashy, not as understated and elegant, and the Borns are more comfortable. I would go for the Borns! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gold-mini-wedge-face-off#post-910714 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 00:52:53 +0000 Sona 910714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ comfort is the trump factor for me. while the magpie gene does call its name out tome, nothing is worse than being uncomfortable when you are the cynosure of all eyes and the lady of the hour so to speak! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gold-mini-wedge-face-off#post-910683 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 00:37:38 +0000 kellygirl 910683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the Borns. I think they are understatedly elegant. In fact, I want them So gorgeous. I don't love the criss cross of the other pair but that's just me.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gold-mini-wedge-face-off#post-910678 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 00:34:49 +0000 Sara L. 910678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like them both but I slightly prefer the Borns. &nbsp;I think they will look good with dresses but can also be worn with more casual outfits, which will make them more versatile after the wedding. &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gold-mini-wedge-face-off#post-910676 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 00:34:07 +0000 Transcona Shannon 910676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Borns all the way! If they win the comfort part of the competition, that would make the decision for me. Also, personally, I like the look of them better. Something about the toe portion on the MJ's is bugging me. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gold-mini-wedge-face-off#post-910647 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 00:13:47 +0000 K. Period. 910647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm surprised by how much I like them both! Since there is little difference between them in terms of appeal,&nbsp;I would go for the Born, which I think are very cute and you said more comfortable. Comfort is going to be really important. Yeah! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gold-mini-wedge-face-off#post-910639 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 00:10:20 +0000 Anonymous 910639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ They are so similar, you really can't go wrong with either. &nbsp;Personally I prefer the less shiny, paler champagne color of the Borns. &nbsp;You definitely want to enjoy your family and friends&nbsp;without having to think about your feet. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gold-mini-wedge-face-off#post-910637 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 00:09:08 +0000 catgirl 910637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Go for comfort since they are quite similar. &nbsp;I like the MJs for style, but this is not my forte. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gold-mini-wedge-face-off#post-910635 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 00:06:13 +0000 sarah 910635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ They are close enough that I would go for comfort. It's going to be the start of a long 36 hours or so... https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gold-mini-wedge-face-off#post-910626 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 23:58:46 +0000 Diana 910626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ As promised, here are the two pairs of gold mini-wedges I ordered to go with the rehearsal dinner/brunch dresses (as well as backup wedding shoes if the heels get to be too much).&nbsp; Please forgive my loungewear and end-of-day swollen feet (I promise they are not usually so ugly and veiny!).<br /><br />1-4 is Born, 5-8 is Marc Jacobs, and 9 is both for comparison.&nbsp; <br /><br />The MJs are shinier, more gold, and I think a little dressier.&nbsp; They are also almost 3 times the price of the Borns.&nbsp; (I can afford it, but it's a big enough price difference to warrant consideration).&nbsp; The Borns have a matte finish and are a paler, more champagne type gold.<br /><br />Comfort-wise they are both pretty good but the Borns have the edge here.&nbsp; The footbed is more padded and has a bit of arch support, which the MJs do not have.&nbsp; However, the Borns will need some summer soles or other sole covering since they have that annoying Born stitching on the footbed that I find irritating to walk on.&nbsp; The ankle strap also hits a tiny bit lower which is more comfortable for me since it doesn't go over the bone.&nbsp; MJs have more toe coverage in front which is tricky for me because I tend to get rubbing at the tops of my toes.&nbsp; The leather on both is very soft.&nbsp; <br /><br /><br />
