So the HEWI is the one that is somewhat refined but still comfortable, or one that is intentionally menswear but still not too huge looking.<br />And even once you find "the look" that seems right with your outfits, then as Suz pointed out, sometimes it is the brand's particular "last" that just suits your foot, and you know it when you put them on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-not#post-1396329 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 22:42:36 +0000 donnat 1396329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look of these. I have similar ones too, that I never wear. I think its time to pass them along, in my case anyway. My 21 yr old daughter has a few in different colors. She wears them with everything. I will always opt for a heel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-not#post-1396089 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 15:04:23 +0000 texstyle 1396089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am wearing my similar shoes with ankle pants, skinny jeans and rolled BF jeans. If you don't like them this way, then I'd probably move on and chalk it up as not your style. The ones I bought are my first in this oxford style and it has taken me some time to adjust my eyes,&nbsp; but I actually like the look quite a lot. I may try them with knee high stockings too now that it's cold out. I dont' wear skirts/dresses.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-not#post-1395925 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 09:13:07 +0000 Inge 1395925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Joy, I was thinking of perhaps pairing them with rolled BF jeans. Or with skinny jeans, or cigarette pants (essentially trousers or jeans that are more tapered at the ankle, and will show a bit of foot skin with the oxfords). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-not#post-1395815 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 04:23:03 +0000 Anonymous 1395815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a similar grey pair, but laceless slip ons, that I wear sockless with rolled boyfriend jeans. If you aren't wearing them, it may be time to wave goodbye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-not#post-1395792 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 03:28:45 +0000 Anonymous 1395792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually have a similar pair and have trouble figuring out what to wear them with too! Although I do like them a lot, so I keep holding onto them. I think I bought them assuming I'd wear them with dresses, but somehow I never do.</p> <p>Could they maybe work with some kind of cropped pants or with slouchy menswear-style trousers for you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-not#post-1395738 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 02:19:16 +0000 Gigi 1395738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first thought would have been to wear them with skirts and dresses, but you have mentioned that that is not your style. I guess my inclination would be to give them away, since they don't really seem to fit with the outfits you feel happiest in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-not#post-1395730 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 01:57:59 +0000 always trying 1395730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>have had these shoes for a while, and probably only worn twice.&nbsp; Thought I would wear them a lot, but somehow they just never seem right.&nbsp; I am so over ballet flats, and find loafers and other flats are mostly a fit problem, ie small bunion, not staying on my low volume narrow heel feet.&nbsp; How to style them other than with skinnies and no socks?&nbsp; I only wear dresses and skirts for more dressy occasions and wear them with heels. although I think tights and short dresses or skirts would be cute, this is not my style.&nbsp; </p>
