That would come in more useful to me than changing the uppers.<br /> Enclosed shoe to sandal would be good too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interchangeable-shoes#post-2278594 Thu, 25 Aug 2022 05:31:56 +0000 Zaeobi 2278594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As someone who wears sandals May - Oct (subtropical climate), I'd be willing to try this out if only they had:<br /> a) flatter sole options (with traction)<br /> b) warmer (closed) &amp; 'nude' coloured uppers</p> <p>I imagine those two tweaks alone would make the shoes appeal to a wider audience.</p> <p>Also, isn't part of the wisdom behind at least alternating between 2 pairs of shoes so that the soles can 'breathe' between wears? I can see why you might not want to do that for travel specifically, but otherwise this could get old fast for those of us in warm climates. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interchangeable-shoes#post-2278031 Mon, 22 Aug 2022 00:18:08 +0000 Echo 2278031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a really neat idea if a person finds the soles comfortable. The only thing that bothers me is that they seem to be exclusively sandals. I've got comfortable, go-with-everything sandals. What I would love is a shoes that could convert from an enclosed shoe to a sandal! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interchangeable-shoes#post-2278010 Sun, 21 Aug 2022 19:53:34 +0000 Carla 2278010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The&nbsp;<i>idea&nbsp;</i>of convertible items is appealing, but the reality is that people find one (favourite) way of wearing the thing, and don’t often switch up. I think the only thing I ‘convert’ is the strap on a small cross body, and even then I go through long periods of using one strap before I change it up to another! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interchangeable-shoes#post-2277973 Sun, 21 Aug 2022 15:05:06 +0000 LAR101 2277973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those look 'great in theory' but 'in real life' maybe not so much.</p> <p>This concept depends on your approach to clothes.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />This is a level of fussiness that I wouldn't want.&nbsp; I wouldn't take the time to decide an upper, much less change the upper out. &nbsp;</p> <p>That stiff sole would be a deal breaker for me.</p> <p>Right now, my shoes tend to be workhorses in neutral colors.&nbsp; I used to have more variety and more color in my wardrobe, but I could never manage all that variety.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm sure there is someone who dresses brilliantly,&nbsp; who lives in a warmer climate, and wears dresses and sandals all the time, who loves to play with shoe color in the morning, and who can walk in a still heel, and who will appreciated all this choice.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interchangeable-shoes#post-2277964 Sun, 21 Aug 2022 13:17:15 +0000 Anonymous 2277964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with cat2 about changing shoes. &nbsp;These have too much heel for me these days but I think heels are sneaking back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interchangeable-shoes#post-2277962 Sun, 21 Aug 2022 11:56:43 +0000 Janet 2277962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look interesting. However, I’m always skeptical of this kind of thing, as I am of any item that is supposedly convertible — it always seems like only one or two variations are truly useful so the item doesn’t truly live up to the promise. </p> <p>I remember many year ago there were sandals that had changeable straps — Mohops or something like that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interchangeable-shoes#post-2277940 Sun, 21 Aug 2022 04:00:33 +0000 rachylou 2277940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for storage, but It’s the soles that usually wear out, so I think space is the only savings. I wonder how secure they are. Could possibly be great for travel! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interchangeable-shoes#post-2277878 Sat, 20 Aug 2022 21:11:12 +0000 Jenni NZ 2277878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are cool if you like the uppers! I remember Jenn looking at some convertible shoes that changed from flats to heels easily a couple of years back, but I don’t think she ended up getting them.<br /> Personally I am not keen on slides so that rules several of these out for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interchangeable-shoes#post-2277871 Sat, 20 Aug 2022 18:58:58 +0000 cat2 2277871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have seen uppers that slide onto multiple different bottoms, so you can add a heel. I never went for them because my feet are happiest if I change lasts each day. I wear a few vendors and alternate them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/interchangeable-shoes#post-2277867 Sat, 20 Aug 2022 18:36:27 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2277867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This keeps popping up on my socials:<br /> <a href="https://trysolelyjane.com/?fbclid=PAAaaIRHXM3tZqeFzjA6DnZ72QTh-cnV5SYsCgwmTBDUjJcChLn7rKqV1D35o_aem_AboIWGjhf3nC8AJEiYPJBn-BlB_T6UsQjXxerEXRV5VoLy44tDeLMIKrWNRh8Gw3ff17VsPqU4YS7VQ9hNKReJjjS76pJKRpK_3tCbJotGizIiBGSgYOKxZpu_iDMtey49Y" rel="nofollow">https://trysolelyjane.com/?fbc....._iDMtey49Y</a><br /> It’s an interesting idea.
