These look just like the Cole Haan shoes I liked, so that's another possibility to consider. Crazyone, thanks for pointing out the 6PM sale, they don't have them in my size, though. </p> <p>Aida, these are good points to consider for sure. Too bad I don't have many low contrast shoes in my wardrobe (too much black and navy). And Sarah, I actually started this thread after going through Miz Mooz website and not finding any shoes I liked with 2.5" heel. So I'll see whether the Fidjies I ordered work out, and take it from there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-pumps-with-an-edge#post-415532 Sat, 03 Sep 2011 01:20:22 +0000 Isabel 415532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Makrame, sorry that I forgot the info : <a href="http://www.zappos.com/ak-anne-klein-shevanie-pewter-pewter" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/ak-anne-.....ter-pewter</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-pumps-with-an-edge#post-415531 Sat, 03 Sep 2011 01:18:39 +0000 sarah 415531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You might check out Miz Mooz and Fidjis, along with the Fluevogs... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-pumps-with-an-edge#post-415528 Sat, 03 Sep 2011 01:14:31 +0000 Isabel 415528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Makrame, sorry that I forgot the info : <a href="http://www.zappos.com/ak-anne-klein-shevanie-pewter-pewter" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/ak-anne-.....ter-pewter</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-pumps-with-an-edge#post-415484 Fri, 02 Sep 2011 23:32:28 +0000 Aida 415484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just wanted to say that for leg lengthening the best color is going to depend on what it's worn with If you're going to wear them with "cropped, slim-leg pants" a low contrast color will work really well (so for you I would say this includes nude, light gray, tan, blush pink, gold/silver, ivory/cream, etc.); you can also pair a shoe that is similar in color to the pant itself (e.g. black pants with black/charcoal shoes) which will work especially well if said color is similar in darkness to your hair. If you pair with low contrast flats, you could also get a bit of lengthening esp. if pointier toed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-pumps-with-an-edge#post-415477 Fri, 02 Sep 2011 23:10:12 +0000 crazyone 415477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Makrame, 6pm.com has the air Tali wedges in a nude shade:</p> <p><a href="http://www.6pm.com/cole-haan-air-tali-lace-wedge-nougat-nougat-patent" rel="nofollow">http://www.6pm.com/cole-haan-a.....gat-patent</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-pumps-with-an-edge#post-415454 Fri, 02 Sep 2011 22:30:53 +0000 Makrame 415454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ironkurtin, thanks for the reminder about Fidjis, I just ordered a pair. :)</p> <p>AG, I like Danskos too, and I like the look of Fluevogs but have not tried them on.

Brands people have mentioned here with lots of clever touches include Fidji, Everybody, and Chie Mihara - they are interestingly designed and comfortable. </p> <p>Other brands I look to for comfort and witty mid- height walkability are Costume National, Nancy Nancy / Nancy Geist, and Sigerson Morrison. The design team recently left Sigerson Morrison, which means that the old stock may be dipping pretty soon - get 'em now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-pumps-with-an-edge#post-415404 Fri, 02 Sep 2011 21:09:40 +0000 Jonesy 415404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about a heeled loafer?

I think I have looked at some, but not all, of these options. I guess I was thinking I don't want any straps across the foot, maybe more of an open pump-like shoe but with a wider or chunkier or really stable heel. The problem is that those shoes I like have the heel that is too high while many shoes with a mid-height heel look almost like flats.</p> <p>I kind of like these but the heel is too high. <a href="http://www.endless.com/Miz-Mooz-Womens-Nan-Pump/dp/B003EPBHD2#__asin%3DB0043ER48K%26ref%3Ddp_sbs_3%26pageCode%3Dd" rel="nofollow">http://www.endless.com/Miz-Moo.....geCode%3Dd</a><br /> And these, but the color is hard to match with my wardrobe <a href="http://www.endless.com/Miz-Mooz-Womens-Beth-Pump/dp/B0043ET0O6" rel="nofollow">http://www.endless.com/Miz-Moo.....B0043ET0O6</a><br /> I guess both of those are lady-like but the wedge heel or a wider stacked heel feel more like "me".</p> <p>And for the record, I do not have an all-black shoe collection! The first pair is dark grey, and I have some navy and brown shoes, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-pumps-with-an-edge#post-415382 Fri, 02 Sep 2011 20:14:53 +0000 goldenpig 415382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, thanks alaskagirl for bringing the Fluevogs to my attention...I still want a pair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-pumps-with-an-edge#post-415381 Fri, 02 Sep 2011 20:11:57 +0000 catgirl 415381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, wow, can't believe I forgot to push the Fluevogs!

And with a reasonable mid-heel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-pumps-with-an-edge#post-415336 Fri, 02 Sep 2011 19:05:09 +0000 Makrame 415336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I have a minor wardrobe hole and could use some help. I feel like I could really use a pair of heels to wear with cropped, slim-leg pants and maybe with skinnies, instead of flats. However, I don't like either high heels (anything about 2 3/4") or very dainty looking shoes. </p> <p>Since I wear fairly feminine/polished clothing for the lab/science environment I am in (pencil skirts, flowy tops with cardigans etc.), I usually feel the need to offset this by the more utilitarian or practical-loking shoes. Flats seem OK to me but any type of kitten heel, stilletto-like heel or just a standard dressy pump does not quite feel right. Here are some pictures of the shoes that have. The first two I wear often with wide-leg jeans or dress pants, the next two are not the exact shoes I have but fairly similar (minus the flower) and they get very little wear (the first is too dainty, the second does not quite have the elongating effect I wanted). The last pair are new flats, which I think will get a lot of wear.</p> <p>So I could really use a pair of heels, perhaps nude heels, that are not too lady-like but still have the leg-lengthening effect. </p> <p>Any and all ideas and finds would be welcome! </p>
