The first time I worked them I wore the wrong no show socks and they rubbed my heel, The second time I wore knee high stockings and they were fine! I agree they could have more arch support. Since I’m dealing with plantar fasciitis I may try a more supportive insole next.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi-found-chocolate-brown-oxfords#post-2292424 Tue, 22 Nov 2022 14:25:29 +0000 Zaeobi 2292424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry for reviving your thread Nadya, but just wanted to share that I bought these too (after your recommendation), so thanks! </p> <p>I'm a UK5.5 with D-E width (so around a US7.5 wide/ US8 medium), high instep, slightly wide toebox but narrow heels. I sized up to a US9 &amp; they fit ok width wise (I could possibly move up to a US9.5 but they don't pinch anywhere). They're not uncomfy (the padding is moderate, to the point where I was *aware* I had them on for a 3 hour class, yet I didn't rush to take them off) but I do recommend wearing them with socks at the start, at least until the edge of the leather tongue softens. </p> <p>Hope that helps anyone else re: these shoes - they come in many colours too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi-found-chocolate-brown-oxfords#post-2287876 Tue, 25 Oct 2022 14:26:54 +0000 DonnaF 2287876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yummy!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi-found-chocolate-brown-oxfords#post-2287875 Tue, 25 Oct 2022 14:16:44 +0000 BrieN 2287875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a gorgeous shoe.

Getting the right shade of brown can be so hard. Glad your perseverance paid off! Good luck with the indoor topper. I had a brown cardigan on my mental wish list for years and finally sewed one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi-found-chocolate-brown-oxfords#post-2287783 Mon, 24 Oct 2022 16:53:48 +0000 Zaeobi 2287783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous shoe! Is it comfy for long wear? (My issue is always high instep/ wide forefoot but narrow heels &amp; somewhat long toes - don't know if that's an issue for you too?) </p> <p>It's so difficult to find a chocolate brown indoor topper, isn't it? Still hunting for a collarless cropped cardigan in natural fibres over here! </p> <p>PS - Didn't know Ever by X has released their dress in dark brown now! Your entire post is tempting my wallet haha, oh dear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi-found-chocolate-brown-oxfords#post-2287636 Sun, 23 Oct 2022 19:37:21 +0000 Anonymous 2287636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a wonderful shoe choice. &nbsp;I ended up last year finding very little brown although it was trending. &nbsp;I ended up wearing shoes that had some dark brown in a pattern such as animal print or black and dark brown. &nbsp;I have some brown booties but they are a lighter shade of brown. &nbsp;I have added a few dark browns. . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi-found-chocolate-brown-oxfords#post-2287540 Sun, 23 Oct 2022 01:27:20 +0000 Jaime 2287540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great addition to a gorgeous brown capsule! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi-found-chocolate-brown-oxfords#post-2287528 Sun, 23 Oct 2022 00:28:55 +0000 Carla 2287528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an absolutely fabulous shoe you have sourced, Nadya. &nbsp;I can see how they would work with your wardrobe. &nbsp;That is a lovely brown capsule. &nbsp;It looks like your persistence has paid off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi-found-chocolate-brown-oxfords#post-2287509 Sat, 22 Oct 2022 21:53:38 +0000 Dee 2287509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s wonderful that the triple P’s have paid off, and now you can enjoy your new shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi-found-chocolate-brown-oxfords#post-2287500 Sat, 22 Oct 2022 20:25:28 +0000 CarolS 2287500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a gorgeous shoe -- well done!

This most recent cycle did yield some dark browns for me (hurray!) and that caused me to re-up my quest for true chocolate brown shoes.&nbsp;</p> <p>I found these by new to me designer Marc Joseph on the Nordstrom site. Reviews said they ran up to a full size small and I need a bit of room to accommodate the wider balls of my feet so I took a chance on one of the last remaining sizes, a full size up from my normal size, since they were out of my size and a half size up. And they fit! And they're comfortable. And they're just what I wanted - a wingtip Oxford with a bit of modern flair via the moderate lug sole. &nbsp;I think they're prettier in person :)</p> <p>This morning I had a grand try on with various wardrobe items that had been wanting a dark brown shoe friend and it all worked splendidly. I then branched out and tried them with a brick red dress, which when I topped it with an ivory cardigan with brown buttons, was a fun combination. They also look good with the olive green, burgundy and denim bottoms in my closet of course.&nbsp;</p> <p>Now I just need to find a chocolate brown indoor weight topper. Always something to hunt for! This search took me several years, but I was as Angie says, PPP: picky, practical and patient.&nbsp; </p>
