Have you tried Nordstrom’s And Zappos? They tend to be my go to sites. Still not as much selection as the smaller sizes, but might help. This summer Nordstrom’s actually had much more in the size 12 sandal selection than Zappos did. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-shoe-shopping-please#post-1952346 Fri, 31 Aug 2018 12:47:24 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1952346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What did you decide? I thought of you when I noticed that a shoe store I like here has large sizes. Maybe you can order straight from the manufacturer if you see something you like. Check out the Paul Green black loafers! <a href="https://www.salamander-online.de/Damenschuhe?sColorFilter=&#038;sSizeFilter=42%2C42.5%2C47%2C46%2C45%2C44%2C43%2C48&#038;sBrandFilter=" rel="nofollow">https://www.salamander-online......andFilter=</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-shoe-shopping-please#post-1951754 Tue, 28 Aug 2018 13:53:01 +0000 Angie 1951754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Going into Fall - #1</p> <p>Going into Summer - #2 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-shoe-shopping-please#post-1951751 Tue, 28 Aug 2018 13:49:43 +0000 cherylm 1951751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 but I’m a shoe girl and have a preference for fun shoes. It also depends on your shoe budget and tolerance for shoes that wear out quickly. Patent leather tends to show wear at the bend point on the toe box more quickly, using shoe trees when not wearing helps but I have found that the wear life of patent leather to be shorter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-shoe-shopping-please#post-1951740 Tue, 28 Aug 2018 13:19:20 +0000 Bonnie 1951740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #1 and like #2 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-shoe-shopping-please#post-1951737 Tue, 28 Aug 2018 13:12:19 +0000 lyn67 1951737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nr 1 for the ultra dressy and nr 2 for others dressy enough- LOL not much of a help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-shoe-shopping-please#post-1951730 Tue, 28 Aug 2018 12:43:50 +0000 Anonymous 1951730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1 and think they will be versatile enough for skirts and dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-shoe-shopping-please#post-1951728 Tue, 28 Aug 2018 12:27:18 +0000 cindysmith 1951728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would be all over #1 like white on rice because they're super awesome<br /> However, I vote you go with what's most comfortable </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-shoe-shopping-please#post-1951720 Tue, 28 Aug 2018 11:51:38 +0000 Liz 1951720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Where are you wearing these shoes: to work?

It would be more important to me to have an interesting shoe. Other people would prefer a more flattering and versatile shoe.

However, my recommendation is for the most comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-shoe-shopping-please#post-1951708 Tue, 28 Aug 2018 10:08:37 +0000 Anonymous 1951708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is more interesting but the lower vamp in #2 is more traditionally flattering for skirts. Maybe they could be dressed up if needed with different shoe clips (clip on earrings-a dime a dozen at op shops) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-shoe-shopping-please#post-1951681 Tue, 28 Aug 2018 05:59:35 +0000 Jane 1951681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer 1, more to them. 2 are good shoes though too. Do 1 look good with skirts? I would be less concerned about wearing heels with skirts than I used to. They look good in the photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-shoe-shopping-please#post-1951664 Tue, 28 Aug 2018 03:55:02 +0000 Sal 1951664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are both nice on your feet.&nbsp; And for most occasions both would work.&nbsp; If you prefer 1 I would go with that.&nbsp; I slightly lean to 2 as I do like a pointy flat shoe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-shoe-shopping-please#post-1951657 Tue, 28 Aug 2018 03:25:27 +0000 Anonymous 1951657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All things being equal, I like the look of 2 best, but go with the most comfortable one. Does black bookend your hair? If not, you may not need black shoes at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-shoe-shopping-please#post-1951652 Tue, 28 Aug 2018 03:12:26 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1951652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t know what kinds of skirts and dresses or what occasions you’re talking about, but if you can get away with #1, even if that means hanging onto the old ones for occasional use when patent leather isn’t appropriate (funerals), then go for it! </p> <p>My feet are size ten. I’m not in the shoe desert, but I’m in the savanna, and I’ve seen what dry times look like. </p> <p>The heel on #1 is not high for skirts and dresses, and would work with pants/jeans if you like that look, the pointy toe is on point and somehow magically does not make your foot look too long, and you’d clearly feel happier putting them on in the mornings instead of resigning yourself to #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-shoe-shopping-please#post-1951650 Tue, 28 Aug 2018 03:02:15 +0000 marija 1951650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sigh... Yes, you are both right! Sadly, I like the excitement of the first though they are not as practical. I would have loved a little patent leather or something to spice them up. I don't think I would keep both though. I really don't have a need for two and I think I would choose a different colour for a second pair. Well, at least they are comfortable! Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-shoe-shopping-please#post-1951646 Tue, 28 Aug 2018 02:37:53 +0000 rachylou 1951646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Shevia. I’d go with #2 for all around versatility and prettiness, but #1 has a lot of zazz for occasions where that’s allowed, if you can keep both... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-shoe-shopping-please#post-1951640 Tue, 28 Aug 2018 02:03:23 +0000 Jaime 1951640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both but I think #2 is the most versatile, looks super flattering and would be my first choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-shoe-shopping-please#post-1951638 Tue, 28 Aug 2018 01:40:26 +0000 marija 1951638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need to replace my pair of black dress shoes. I wear these with skirts and dresses. I have two pairs of shoes from which to choose after browsing a number of stores in Toronto. Long tall Sally has really limited their selection. It’s a bit of a shoe desert for us size 12s! Which do you like? </p>
