So, if I were You I would keep nr 1(a tan shoe is always great for us blondes!!!), 3&amp;5 as&nbsp; ablock heel is almost a wedge isn't it:-)? But nr 2&amp;4 are classic and elegant so they may still fill some needs in your life (funerals or a tango night?).&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> <p>As about heels in general I'm also not wearing them anymore at the moment (and for years now already!)---but I stick to them as nothing bats elegance of a heel if&nbsp; really needed (especially to a dress or skirt outfit).&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heels---currentclassicdated#post-2353822 Tue, 27 Feb 2024 09:01:26 +0000 Jenni NZ 2353822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a 5-month old thread. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heels---currentclassicdated#post-2353812 Tue, 27 Feb 2024 06:15:28 +0000 Anonymous 2353812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was told to stop wearing heels and have gotten rid of them all and do not miss them. I did keep a pair of small heeled EF black shoes for weddings and such. They are comfortable and pretty stable. I would not wear them in slippery conditions.

I wonder if the tolerance for them will reduce because of so many people wearing sneakers! I have a small number of heels now too but think at age 62 I will bow out of purchasing any more. Small heels only- not even mid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heels---currentclassicdated#post-2338941 Wed, 20 Sep 2023 04:04:38 +0000 Sal 2338941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heels are worn here - but more and more now just for balls, evening, weddings etc and not as much for work.&nbsp; If we go out to a restaurant we usually walk (as it is 1km to the entertainment parts of our city) so my heels don't get worn very much.</p> <p>I do wonder if the pendulum will swing back again towards heels - most trends do come back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heels---currentclassicdated#post-2338894 Tue, 19 Sep 2023 15:17:49 +0000 Cardiff girl 2338894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t wear heels much at all theses days but still hang on to a few pairs for those rare occasions when they are appropriate.All these seem &nbsp; fine to me,none struck as dated.Classic yes but not dated.If you have room to store them keep them and time will decide for you if any should go eventually. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heels---currentclassicdated#post-2338886 Tue, 19 Sep 2023 11:32:10 +0000 Anonymous 2338886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the yellow and the green most! If they're all comfortable and you still use them, I vote keep.<br /> I've just been wearing my low block heel sandals (when not in Birks) like your yellow ones, but still have higher heeled boots. Heels are definitely still worn around here for conferences and networking events. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heels---currentclassicdated#post-2338855 Mon, 18 Sep 2023 21:19:52 +0000 Sal 2338855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all!&nbsp; I will keep them - I suspect that gradually I will wear them less and less.&nbsp; They are all comfortable enough at the moment with the two black pairs being the least comfortable, and the tan and green being the most comfortable.</p> <p>The black pumps I purchased for a wedding in 2018 and used to get more wear 2018-2019 than they have since 2020.&nbsp; I get now why they are Princess Diana pumps (mid heel).</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heels---currentclassicdated#post-2338849 Mon, 18 Sep 2023 18:53:41 +0000 Star (Lise) 2338849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is my opinion in general about heeled pumps.&nbsp; There is a blogger who puts together some really cool outfits.&nbsp; She tends to very often pair them with a heeled pump and I always think that it makes the outfit too uptight and would look so much more modern and relaxed with a sneaker/trainer or chunky sandal.&nbsp; She loves heeled pumps ala the 80s.&nbsp; I think it depends where you are going in them.&nbsp; Sometimes they are appropriate.&nbsp; I personally now prefer a more blocky heeled pump but I do not own any as I have no need for them in my casual life.&nbsp; Btw I do love your yellow sandals above and think they will elevate most outfits to modern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heels---currentclassicdated#post-2338846 Mon, 18 Sep 2023 16:51:04 +0000 judy 2338846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you like them and they work for your feet, keep them all until such time as either of those things change.&nbsp; As I've gotten older, there was a day that arrived I could no longer do heels.&nbsp; So I say, enjoy them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heels---currentclassicdated#post-2338835 Mon, 18 Sep 2023 15:10:16 +0000 Carla 2338835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What&nbsp;<b>Suz&nbsp;</b>said in her last comment. &nbsp;A stylish/trendy shoe can elevate a basic outfit, but a classic shoe can be a workhorse. &nbsp;To<i>&nbsp;my&nbsp;</i>eye, the yellow mule sandal, the black sandal, and the green sentimental favourite stand out as particularly modern at the moment. &nbsp;They probably won’t date because they are fairly classic, but each has something going for it that make them ‘of the moment’ even if they are older shoes. &nbsp;The skin tone sling back and black court shoe are tried and true classics, though&nbsp;<b>Roberta&nbsp;</b>has a point about the black pump. &nbsp;But, hey! &nbsp;I’ve got a pair like that in my closet!</p> <p>They all look to be in good shape. &nbsp;If they are comfortable, I vote keep them all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heels---currentclassicdated#post-2338823 Mon, 18 Sep 2023 13:47:51 +0000 Angie 2338823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My dear <b>Sal</b>, you have the Lady Di pump! It's your #2 photo of the black heels. Black Mid Heel Pumps as you describe them :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heels---currentclassicdated#post-2338821 Mon, 18 Sep 2023 13:40:20 +0000 Roberta 2338821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think all of your examples are timeless (LOVE the t-straps), but my personal opinion is that a plain black pump looks kind of office-y. I was just in Boston for a couple of days and noticed a woman walking in a nice outfit with plain black shoes, and I thought the black pumps kind of dragged her outfit down. No offense meant, and if you love them, wear them in good health. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heels---currentclassicdated#post-2338808 Mon, 18 Sep 2023 06:51:44 +0000 Jenni NZ 2338808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw your post at lunchtime but no time to reply then- well maybe I could have but I was busy Googling Lady Di pump too! I’m with Rachy in loving the green ones best as seeming the most special. But I like them all too.<br /> Our best friends came home last week after 3 months in Europe so I was able to add a wear of some dressier heeled boots out to dinner! Yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heels---currentclassicdated#post-2338807 Mon, 18 Sep 2023 05:48:35 +0000 Sal 2338807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rachy - the green ones are the most sentimental - and the most comfortable!!</p> <p>Suz - I agree - occasion wear shoes don't date that quickly - thankfully as none of these would be close to 30 wears....</p> <p>Thank you Avicenna, The Cat, Dee and Jaime.</p> <p>Angie - I am going to google what the Lady Di Pump is!!&nbsp; And thanks for chiming in.</p> <p>Thank you Janet - that's a good question.&nbsp; These are all comfortable enough for when I wear heels - mostly out to dinner or for occasions.&nbsp; I do have a wedding coming up in which I will likely wear the yellow or the black (or potentially some gold low heels).</p> <p>I want to look breezy, elegant, bold - maybe a touch classic or a touch sporty - and modern and stylish.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heels---currentclassicdated#post-2338806 Mon, 18 Sep 2023 05:39:55 +0000 rachylou 2338806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have to say I’ve noticed the Lady Di heel thing. Also: I especially like your green heels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heels---currentclassicdated#post-2338805 Mon, 18 Sep 2023 04:05:54 +0000 Suz 2338805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also, I should add -- heeled or dressy shoes have a long lifetime in my closet when I have the space for them. I don't wear them often, but need them occasionally. And like coats, they don't seem to date as easily as some other types of clothing or footwear, at least to my mind.&nbsp;</p> <p>It's a bit of a paradox. The very current shoe can make every outfit seem more stylish. At the same time, a classic or iconic shoe can be extremely versatile and work in outfits you might not otherwise have the right footwear for.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heels---currentclassicdated#post-2338804 Mon, 18 Sep 2023 04:00:31 +0000 The Cat 2338804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>None of these look dated. And I agree with everything Janet said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heels---currentclassicdated#post-2338802 Mon, 18 Sep 2023 03:04:07 +0000 Suz 2338802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 Comfort<br />#2 What <b>Janet </b>said -- and to add to that, or maybe put it another way, you might ask if any move you away from your aspirational style, or make you feel "meh" in outfits.&nbsp;</p> <p>If any of these is "just the thing" for certain outfits that you love, then by all means keep!&nbsp;</p> <p>I like them all! The tan slingback and black mid-heel seem classic and versatile.&nbsp; The tango sandal has a fun retro integrity and would add a great pop of colour. The mustard slide feels current and also adds a pop of colour. And the black block heel looks useful.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heels---currentclassicdated#post-2338797 Mon, 18 Sep 2023 00:44:02 +0000 Jaime 2338797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Angie and everyone. I have also read that t straps are coming in, but it doesn't really matter nearly as much as comfort.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heels---currentclassicdated#post-2338795 Mon, 18 Sep 2023 00:33:18 +0000 Angie 2338795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>None are dated, sweet<b> Sal</b>!&nbsp;</p> <p>The "Lady Di" pump is actually having a fashionable on trend moment :)&nbsp;</p> <p>That said, pass on any that are uncomfortable or not to your taste anymore.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heels---currentclassicdated#post-2338793 Mon, 18 Sep 2023 00:09:37 +0000 Janet 2338793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to say that I’m seeing so many heel styles at retail right now that I’d be hard pressed to call any of these styles “dated.” </p> <p>How do they feel to you? Not just physically but emotionally? Are they filling a gap or place holding? I’m shifting a bit from defining things in terms of “dated” to deciding whether they are the style that I want to emulate as I move forward. I’m really considering whether an item suits me and what I’m aiming to do with my style and outfits. Sort of a “does this move me forward?” question — if I put on a pair of shoes or boots with an outfit, do I feel they add or enhance rather than distract or detract? Do I have another pair that I continually reach for instead? </p> <p>I’m personally very fond of block heels and they feel right for my style, so I confess I’m fondest of those. The black pumps look professional if that is something you need. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heels---currentclassicdated#post-2338789 Sun, 17 Sep 2023 22:36:58 +0000 Dee 2338789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They seem pretty classic to me, and so if you still enjoy wearing them, they feel comfortable on your feet and you have the room for them, I vote keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heels---currentclassicdated#post-2338787 Sun, 17 Sep 2023 22:16:47 +0000 avicennia 2338787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m interested in what others have to say.
