But on a recent thread here, someone said that because Target stores aren't in malls, they pay lower rent and thus can sell at lower prices than malls for comparable quality.

I will not be buying them. They are a picture for me to look at. Actually Styletread added a New Zealand site with New Zealand prices (instead of their usual Australian site) and my wish list got lost in the transition. I could not find these under any search terms and even rang them up! They couldn't find them either... but then I remembered the brand, Top End, and there they were. If I had unlimited budget and could wear such a heel, they would be mine. Perhaps for Brooklyn? ( dark floral?)

I also love Angie's, although they aren't in colours that I wear.

The ones you show are really pretty. I like the subdued look of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-i-were-in-the-market-for-floral-footwear#post-1845760 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 18:12:15 +0000 anchie 1845760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And why not This pair that you are showing is not too over the top and should be easy to style with your wardrobe.<br /> I am also drawn to more subdued pair in the picture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-i-were-in-the-market-for-floral-footwear#post-1845620 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 03:17:36 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1845620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sal</b>, I wear a lot of pattern, too. And I'm finding it gets in the way of my carrying the new patterned bag I bought (but haven't removed the tags yet--still thinking). So I fear floral footwear would be difficult.</p> <p><b>Style Fan</b>, you wear a lot of solid colors, and I can envision you wearing a floral shoe if the right one came along. Must be warm tones, and perhaps a bit chunky in style, yes?</p> <p><b>Brooklyn</b>, I think I've seen yours in an outfit, and I thought they were gorgeous. If you find them a bit difficult to work into outfits, then that tells me a lot right there. Because I think they would be a natural for you, especially in the print that you chose. Though maybe the red isn't quite close enough to the burgundies you favor?</p> <p><b>Joyce B</b>, high versus low contrast is a good observation. Low contrast is key for me (even in summer). The pattern on the Campers is deliberately asymmetrical between feet. I kind of like that about them. If it's just haphazard, I think it might bug me. </p> <p><b>Diana</b>, yes, the abstract florals are so lush. I think Ted Baker does a good job with floral footwear, though, despite the smaller scale of shoes. </p> <p><b>kkards</b>, those are some gorgeous choices. I would like the Alice and Olivia for myself, and I can see you in the Cole Haans--brilliant choice! The Rag and Bone pair is so nice and muted (a plus in my book).</p> <p><b>lisa p</b>, haha! Yeah, no, I'm not sure! This is a trend that I'm drawn to. I may be passing on floor-grazing wide-legs for now, but floral footwear tugs at me in some way.</p> <p><b>Jenn</b>, I can see you in those gorgeous western embroidered ones. Interesting how the embroidery trend has a deep, ancestral pull for you!</p> <p><b>Bijou</b>, those patterned boots are awesome--and you were way ahead of the curve with them. Fantastic supporting acts, too. That's some inspiration. </p> <p><b>Sterling</b>, yes, getting the right fit throws another challenge into the mix. For me, I would want to find something that is in a price range I'm willing to spend on this trend, too. </p> <p><b>Angie</b>, good thought. Maybe they will be around at Christmas, and/or perhaps there will be another pair that I like even better by then. </p> <p><b>JAileen</b>, ha! yes, that's the question--why not? I can't quite envision them for me. But trying them would be the way to really find out. Maybe these aren't quite the ones. I will say, that as <b>KL</b> notes, Camper has not been a great fit for me in the past, so that's part of my hesitation. They are supposed to be really comfy, but for me, they have not been a "wow" fit. </p> <p><b>Traci</b>, those Free People boots are so pretty. Very much in the Western vein, yet a Western go-to-town style. </p> <p><b>Janet</b>, I agree--a bit low-contrast works best with my style, too. Also a bit of edge would be good. I actually really like some of the Doc Martens prints from the past--not exactly floral--but the Old Masters kinds of patterns they've had. The boots themselves are usually too clunky for me. </p> <p><b>Beth Ann</b>, I'll be watching to see how you wear yours!</p> <p><b>KL</b>, yes those brocade flats are a lovely example! That print is right up my alley.</p> <p><b>always trying</b>, hey, I'm happy to enable-er-inspire!</p> <p><b>Jenni NZ</b>, those are a gorgeous pair of statement booties! They are really nice with that artful outfit. They really fit with your creative, eclectic style. </p> <p><b>Runs with Scissors</b>--yes, birds, too!I kind of like the Asian feel of the pattern. Interesting to hear your experience. I have been admiring a lot of the Allegria floral designs in my online browsing! </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-i-were-in-the-market-for-floral-footwear#post-1845524 Sat, 16 Sep 2017 21:46:06 +0000 Jenni NZ 1845524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fell in love with floral AND embroidery in one boot last year... heel a bit high to wear as much as I thought. Am trying to remember that before I make any further mistakes... they're not supposed to be just for looking at, are they </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-i-were-in-the-market-for-floral-footwear#post-1845518 Sat, 16 Sep 2017 21:35:03 +0000 always trying 1845518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, you have made me really want something floral-I just bought velvet booties that I love, so am thinking maybe something like the Cole Haan are what would be the most practical for me.&nbsp; They would get year round wear also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-i-were-in-the-market-for-floral-footwear#post-1845490 Sat, 16 Sep 2017 19:11:40 +0000 Keix 1845490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love those Camper boots too. Very tempting... I must remember that Camper shoes don't fit my foot shape well. They tend to run wide, at least in my size (35).</p> <p>Does brocade count as floral? I love the idea of floral footwear but so far I've only picked up one pair of brocade flats. I'm picky about the pattern too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-i-were-in-the-market-for-floral-footwear#post-1845486 Sat, 16 Sep 2017 19:03:30 +0000 Beth Ann 1845486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you know I"m all in! &nbsp;I think the ones you posted look particularly modern because the silhouette adds a bit of edge. &nbsp;</p> <p>I still need to style the two pairs I brought home ---- I want to get a feeling for how they work during outfit creation. &nbsp;I just need to find some "me time." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-i-were-in-the-market-for-floral-footwear#post-1845473 Sat, 16 Sep 2017 17:22:15 +0000 Janet 1845473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the ones you posted, Sharan. I prefer floral footwear with a dark, low-contrast pattern in colors that blend with my wardrobe. Too bright or high contrast, and they feel too conspicuous. But that's my personal preference. I know I won't wear something like that's everyday, but it's a fun trend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-i-were-in-the-market-for-floral-footwear#post-1845464 Sat, 16 Sep 2017 16:31:23 +0000 Traci 1845464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm currently being taunted by these,&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.freepeople.com/shop/grove-lace-up-western-boot/?color=004">https://www.freepeople.com/sho.....?color=004</a>.</p> <p>Pros are: &nbsp;Lace up (my favorite), Blue tapestry color way could be seasonless, on trend.</p> <p>Cons are: &nbsp;Reviews say the blue tapestry is very hit or miss and sometimes completely missing the floral spots, heel height would probably move them into special occasion rather than every day shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-i-were-in-the-market-for-floral-footwear#post-1845462 Sat, 16 Sep 2017 16:15:54 +0000 JAileen 1845462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you're protesting too much! The real question is, "Why aren't you in the market for floral footwear?" I think they would fit in your wardrobe very well. Why don't you try some at home and make some outfits. See if they really would work with what you already have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-i-were-in-the-market-for-floral-footwear#post-1845446 Sat, 16 Sep 2017 15:10:21 +0000 Angie 1845446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Floral footwear is SOOO FUN.</p> <p>You might like to ask Father Christmas for those, Sharan.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-i-were-in-the-market-for-floral-footwear#post-1845435 Sat, 16 Sep 2017 14:58:12 +0000 Anonymous 1845435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore florals. &nbsp;This is a trend I would buy in multiples if I could find them in wide widths. &nbsp;So far every pair that has piqued my interest has been for "b" width and some of the reviewers commented that they run "narrow." &nbsp;I will keep looking though. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-i-were-in-the-market-for-floral-footwear#post-1845429 Sat, 16 Sep 2017 14:41:41 +0000 Bijou 1845429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I am a maximalist and so floral footwear is very happily in the mix for me and I enjoy co-ordinating them with similar patterns. I bought my floral embroidered and sequinned biker boots 3 years ago now. I love them because they are super comfortable and yet a bit more interesting than a basic black boot. My floral boots I like to wear with my velvet coat and my sequinned boots with a matching bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-i-were-in-the-market-for-floral-footwear#post-1845423 Sat, 16 Sep 2017 14:27:02 +0000 Jenn 1845423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Floral embroidery speaks to me on a deep level. My great-grandmother was a first-generation Slovak-American, so I'm not all that far removed from a strong embroidery tradition. Instead of a wedding veil, I wore a flower wreath with long embroidered ribbons.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also like Western styling in small doses, so my choice would be something like the ones below from Sundance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-i-were-in-the-market-for-floral-footwear#post-1845413 Sat, 16 Sep 2017 14:08:33 +0000 Anonymous 1845413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha. Are you SURE you don't need a pair of floral booties or shoes?? &nbsp;</p> <p>I'm not drawn to them at all, and the ones that Angie and Joyce have are seriously the only ones I would even be tempted to try on, and even then, I just can't see them being very practical in my wardrobe. &nbsp; If I had an unlimited budget, there are some designer boots in gorgeous embroidered velvet that I could see wearing......<br />Funny, isn't it, how trends like this can be really appealing to some and not to others. &nbsp;But I've learned to "never say never". &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-i-were-in-the-market-for-floral-footwear#post-1845412 Sat, 16 Sep 2017 14:06:26 +0000 kkards 1845412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>those booties could/would perk up any fall outfit....<br />i'm loving floral footwear....i bought find #1 and love they way they take a basic outfit to fashionable place...and i'm loving finds #2 and #3.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-i-were-in-the-market-for-floral-footwear#post-1845406 Sat, 16 Sep 2017 13:32:56 +0000 Runs With Scissors 1845406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with the others who want to embrace the <i>idea</i> of dark floral footwear. &nbsp;I love the Camper booties Firecracker posted -- not only floral, but a bird motif too!</p> <p>I bought these Alegria Eliza booties last year, but didn't wear them as much as I expected. &nbsp;I thought that the low-contrast monochromatic floral would go with pretty much anything a black pair of booties would, especially as I don't wear many busy patterns, and all my pants are solid colors. &nbsp;But I mainly paired them with black and gray outfits ... boring.</p> <p>I feel I am just over-thinking it, and resolve to do better this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-i-were-in-the-market-for-floral-footwear#post-1845405 Sat, 16 Sep 2017 13:28:18 +0000 Diana 1845405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you should go for it!</p> <p>I like floral shoes (no surprise there!) and have a pair of floral slip on sneakers. However a lot of the patterns I like (like the larger scale, photorealistic lush florals) don't always translate well to footwear, partly because they can look odd on many leathers and partly just because a shoe is not quite big enough to get the full impact of the print. </p>
