High five.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/having-fun-with-footwear#post-1734369 Sat, 01 Oct 2016 04:17:35 +0000 Suz 1734369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous! It sounds as if this footwear purge has given you lots of wardrobe mileage. You made excellent discoveries about what works for you and what does now. I would fist-bump you for being a fellow heel slipper but I'm sure we both wish we did not have that issue! I love your new red shoe and agree with BJ that it will be useful to consider which style of burgundy will work better for your personal style. Of course in the end it may come down to comfort.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/having-fun-with-footwear#post-1734358 Sat, 01 Oct 2016 04:00:56 +0000 Aida 1734358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hooray for non black footwear! Nice selection here, especially loving that first pair of tan/black booties. If you've enjoyed your red pumps you'll have fun with burgundy boots too. That first pair looks dressier, the second casual. Will depend on your needs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/having-fun-with-footwear#post-1734334 Sat, 01 Oct 2016 02:20:21 +0000 bj1111 1734334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love those red laced shoes. How useful would a burgundy boot be with a more casual wooden stack heel vs a self colored dressier heel? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/having-fun-with-footwear#post-1734223 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 20:18:39 +0000 always trying 1734223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>moving away from black footwear is both fun and way easier than I thought it world be. I started last spring with a big shoe purge, and have, except for a couple of mistakes, acquired a footwear wardrobe I am happy with.&nbsp; Like some of you, I also have foot issues to deal with-a small bunion on left foot, lots of heel slippage even in boots, some just falling off my feet, and no tolerance for heel height over 3 inches. </p> <p>I am still analyzing reasons some shoes work and some do not.&nbsp; Mostly for the heel slippage it is if the shoe or boot fits tight over the front (arch area) the heel will stay put.&nbsp; The higher the heel the more front pressure, thus more padding and the softer the top has to be.Also flexability matters.&nbsp; I do not look at price (except too high, or too low, brands or what others find comfortable. I do look at ratings though when making on line purchases.</p> <p>Some photos of what I have and what are working well for me.&nbsp; first replacement for the black are grey and charcoal. Then silver sandals last spring. Now I am up to more daring-red.&nbsp;The red #5 are the latest and so far the most colorful.&nbsp; Next purchase is going to be burgundy booties like the last two photos.&nbsp; </p>
