Your perseverance inspires me! I've always found Franco Sarto to be a good fit and comfy. Seems like they're not as plentiful these days. I'm looking at the black and navy perforated suede ones--very intrigued about their long wearability. Thanks again for your inspiration!  Angie on "I May Have Found my Red Flats (WITH UPDATE on the Ballet Flats)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-have-found-my-new-red-flats/page/3#post-1783268 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 02:37:37 +0000 Angie 1783268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ah, yes Mary.

It's probably the hardest type of shoe for me to get a good fit on, though.

You’re lovely. I’m wearing my new red loafers today with a new pair of dark denim culottes, turquoise bag and ink millitary bag over the top. (and nude hosiery for warmth). LOVE THEM. Mary, I can’t remember those Fryes. Please post them - and it’s nice to be thought of. Mac, I’m not sure. I’ll give the combination awhirl. Donna, I’m waiting on the Boden heels. Back ordered till April. Will you be my loafer twin? Suz, Franco Sarto shoes can be fabulous - agreed. Keep on trying with the loafers. I wonder if a heel lift would work? (See Sara L’s comment too). And thanks for the sweet compliments. Eliza, it’s good to be picky with your shoes, and I hope these work out for you. delurked, thanks for having an open fashion mind. Lets see you in those warm colours. Smittie, excited that you might be my loafer twin.

I am seriously considering those loafers now! You're a great model. I like them for the reasons you say: They are substantial enough for real walking but still screw towards dainty. Beth Ann on "I May Have Found my Red Flats (WITH UPDATE on the Ballet Flats)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-have-found-my-new-red-flats/page/3#post-1783027 Wed, 01 Mar 2017 14:58:05 +0000 Beth Ann 1783027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love the loafers, and I can't wait to see them in action! You are so right that fabrication can make a big difference -- in clothing and shoes.  I'm always amazed that this isn't taken into account in the design process.  Maybe it's just too expensive to do so? Sara L. on "I May Have Found my Red Flats (WITH UPDATE on the Ballet Flats)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-have-found-my-new-red-flats/page/3#post-1783019 Wed, 01 Mar 2017 14:43:42 +0000 Sara L. 1783019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Those ballet flats ARE very pretty on your feet, but I can also see how they look like they would fall right off when you walk.  I frequently have that problem and have to put heel inserts in almost every pair of pumps and loafers that I own.  It doesn't always fix the problem but it helps.

Better than the rejects for sure. You may inspire me to break out my red flats. I've also considered some red sandals, which would certainly get a lot of play. The only red sandals I had were too high in the heel, which I don't do anymore. Also, I've been letting some warm tones come into my wardrobe in big part to your open mindedness. Still saying no to the cold shoulder though - tried one on recently and laughed at myself. It had some odd droopy half attached sleeve. Have to draw the line somewhere. Eliza on "I May Have Found my Red Flats (WITH UPDATE on the Ballet Flats)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-have-found-my-new-red-flats/page/2#post-1783011 Wed, 01 Mar 2017 13:54:24 +0000 Eliza 1783011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love those loafers, Angie. They look beautiful on and I am smitten with how the color reads. I am trying my white ones and if they work, I'll consider adding a pair in red or light blue. (I vet my shoes as carefully as some people choose their partners.) I like the refinement of the leather vs. suede in appearance and suede may stretch more over time. Interesting that the perforated ones are bigger to begin with. I would also like a pair of perforated loafers at some point. Your fit description lets me know these won't be the right ones.   Enjoy!  Suz on "I May Have Found my Red Flats (WITH UPDATE on the Ballet Flats)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-have-found-my-new-red-flats/page/2#post-1783005 Wed, 01 Mar 2017 13:24:23 +0000 Suz 1783005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The loafers are gorgeous! I am really glad you are keeping them. Such a delicious red, and perfect on your foot. Love the bag selection, too. Thanks for that, Xtbay!  I agree that Franco Sarto is often a little large but I have found several styles extremely comfortable (especially sandals but also a boot) and they seem to last a long time in my closet. If I could wear loafers, I might try these as well! Alas, though -- ask Sveta..she has watched me try on loafers, slipper flats, etc. and all pop off my foot. I won't say that I'll never buy a pair because I did eventually (after about a million tries) find one slip on sneaker that worked for me in a full size down...but it is so rare for me to find a slip on style that works, even with a higher vamp, that it is almost safe to say that fateful word...which is a shame, since I love the style aesthetic.  MTBGirl on "I May Have Found my Red Flats (WITH UPDATE on the Ballet Flats)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-have-found-my-new-red-flats/page/2#post-1783000 Wed, 01 Mar 2017 13:03:23 +0000 MTBGirl 1783000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The loafers are terrific on you! I love them! I would have liked to try them out while they had them, too bad. Ok so your sorted for the flats, have you received any of the heels yet? bella on "I May Have Found my Red Flats (WITH UPDATE on the Ballet Flats)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-have-found-my-new-red-flats/page/2#post-1782995 Wed, 01 Mar 2017 12:45:05 +0000 bella 1782995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ They look beautiful on your dainty feet! I wish loafers looked like this on my feet, too. Alas, my feet are super wide with big bunions.  Anonymous on "I May Have Found my Red Flats (WITH UPDATE on the Ballet Flats)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-have-found-my-new-red-flats/page/2#post-1782991 Wed, 01 Mar 2017 11:58:27 +0000 Anonymous 1782991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The loafers look great on you! kkards on "I May Have Found my Red Flats (WITH UPDATE on the Ballet Flats)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-have-found-my-new-red-flats/page/2#post-1782987 Wed, 01 Mar 2017 11:51:05 +0000 kkards 1782987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ fabulous....glad you found the perfect (for you) pair! can't wait to see them styled. although they look lovely as shown Summer on "I May Have Found my Red Flats (WITH UPDATE on the Ballet Flats)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-may-have-found-my-new-red-flats/page/2#post-1782986 Wed, 01 Mar 2017 11:50:26 +0000 Summer 1782986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The loafers look perfect for you, Angie.

The pointy flats look awkward in comparison. My feet are vicariously thrilled!
