Although like Gaylene if you feel your eye wont adjust they could become an orphan. Of course... You could always paint them later if the white just seems too long after an adjustment period. Both great choices! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----pro-or-con#post-887520 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 23:33:08 +0000 pil 887520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Enjoy your new comfy summer shoes! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----pro-or-con#post-887412 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 21:14:11 +0000 Lyn D. 887412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm 'pro' the cons!<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----pro-or-con#post-887406 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 21:04:08 +0000 columbine(erin) 887406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Those polka dot slippers are so fun! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----pro-or-con#post-887390 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 20:45:28 +0000 Beth Ann 887390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, all!&nbsp; Vote is high in the favor of the Cons.<br /><br />Gaylene, you make a good point about how we "feel" about an item.&nbsp; I bought these with lots of discounts at Kohl's because I'd been unsure.&nbsp; I think my plan is to play with these this Summer and see what the happiness factor is.&nbsp; Dipping my little toe in the trend, and seeing how the water feels!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----pro-or-con#post-887385 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 20:31:23 +0000 Gaylene 887385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your feet look fine in the Cons, but I can relate to those feelings of "wow, just look at those size 10 feet sticking out there". I think it's partially due to the angle; unlike the rest of the world, we see our feet from the top, not the side or front. But, personally, my white Cons sat in my closet until I put them in the donate bin because I just couldn't get past that reaction whenever I tried to wear them.<br /><br />If you think you can train your eye and your mind, then go for the Cons. But, if you aren't sure, then there are lots of other casual footwear choices out there.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----pro-or-con#post-887365 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 19:27:41 +0000 Day Vies 887365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the cons much better --especially with the rolled jeans.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----pro-or-con#post-887302 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 16:52:12 +0000 Ingunn 887302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm loving the Cons, too! You look so fab, please keep.&nbsp;White Cons are on my wishlist, particularly if I get to the US this year.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----pro-or-con#post-887236 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 15:44:56 +0000 annaj 887236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ They look great! I find that I need to wear new sneakers with long pants/jeans for a while first while I adjust to how they look with shorter pants - try that if you are still unsure!&nbsp;:) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----pro-or-con#post-887216 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 15:25:30 +0000 Angie 887216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ MUCH prefer the Cons! Iconic. Your feet look great https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----pro-or-con#post-887212 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 15:20:16 +0000 Kalli 887212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love the cons! Do it! You won't regret it! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----pro-or-con#post-887010 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 03:56:24 +0000 Beth Ann 887010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, Firecracker!&nbsp; I wanted to try the Cons for their more updated vibe.&nbsp; I love them on others, but worry about looking like a "poser."&nbsp; And you absolutely write(lol, I mean right)&nbsp; that the slipper flats are a sleeker version of a Ked --- as a matter of fact, the exact pattern is available in the traditional oxford too.&nbsp; I like the silhouette of a slipper flat on my leg.&nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----pro-or-con#post-887009 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 03:49:55 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 887009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I read your post, and thought, Gee, if you don't love them on you, no need to chase a trend that doesn't feel like "you." <br />And then I saw the photos. . . . Wow--you look sooooo cool in those sneaks! They are totally you. You are rocking them! If you feel self-conscious in them, I agree you might try another color than white (personally, I love the look of white shoes but can never adjust to their look on my own feet--so I can empathize if that's what you're feeling). But don't give up on them--please?? I like Keds, too, but the Converse are way more hip, IMHO. Love, love how you've styled them with the BF jeans, striped top, semi-tuck. <br />I like them better than the slipper flats, but those are cute, too. To me, those are an updated version of the Keds vibe--a little more streamlined and feminine. You could have both and not be duplicating (if that's even an issue). <br /><br />Um, I vote keep!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----pro-or-con#post-887005 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 03:18:02 +0000 Beth Ann 887005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, Shevia!&nbsp; Yes, the picture was problematic, because of the western sun shining in through the window of my only spot to snap photos!&nbsp; I had to change my clothes mid-afternoon because, despite the sunshine, it was just too cold (33 F) to be without boots!&nbsp; Sigh.&nbsp; Spring will come!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----pro-or-con#post-887002 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 03:14:07 +0000 Jaime 887002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I did not see long feet at all, even though you mentioned it and I tried to look for them. Actually I really like the whole outfit, except the picture is a bit dark! And I think the polka dot slipper shoes are definite keepers too! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----pro-or-con#post-886994 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 03:00:47 +0000 Beth Ann 886994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks for the input, YLFers!&nbsp; So far, it's a vote to keep!<br /><br />Hedgie:&nbsp; I've not made it to the sale site yet--- hopefully later tonight!<br /><br />Sveta:&nbsp; I envy your shoe collection, and I know you work to find the fit and quality!&nbsp; At 9 1/2, my feet are on the large side, but I'm grateful that my size is relatively easy to find.&nbsp; I have peasant feet, really, a little wide and big (no Italian pointy toes -- which I can't afford anyway), but strong and not fussy.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----pro-or-con#post-886969 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 02:29:49 +0000 hedgiehog 886969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the Cons! :-)&nbsp;I used to be a Keds girl too but since I wore them in high school many many moons ago,&nbsp;I thought it was time to move on. I know what you mean about the long foot syndrome. I have size ten feet and when I first started sporting Cons I thought I looked like a runaway circus performer!<div><span>Well, I persevered and now I love them. I've included a photo of the ones I have.&nbsp;<u></u> By the way, did you get to the Coach sale?</span></div> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----pro-or-con#post-886966 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 02:27:51 +0000 Scarlet 886966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the Cons on you. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----pro-or-con#post-886965 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 02:26:18 +0000 Anonymous 886965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think they look fine too! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----pro-or-con#post-886962 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 02:24:47 +0000 Sveta 886962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think you feet look just fine (you don't even know what is LONG feet unless&nbsp; you have my size!) Go for them!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----pro-or-con#post-886961 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 02:24:29 +0000 Thistle 886961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So, I think your feet look fine, however, the all white shoe does make them look longer. &nbsp;I wear a size 9 shoe, and I find the classic cons that are two toned &nbsp; &nbsp;Cons do the same thing as cropped pants - they shorten them. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr----pro-or-con#post-886954 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 02:16:48 +0000 Beth Ann 886954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So, I'm tiptoeing into the fashionable sneaks territory, and it's an alien land.&nbsp; I'm a Keds girl by nature, but am working to avoid twee at all costs this summer, and that is a danger with the iconic white Keds, particularly with Taylor-Swift-loving preteens wearing them with their skater skirts.&nbsp; Adorbs on them, not so much on mature adult me.<br /><br />So........ here are some classic Cons.&nbsp; Comfy, but, um, my feet look LONG.&nbsp; Also, I'm a little unsure about the high vamp and my curvy calves.&nbsp; Looking for feedback from one and all!&nbsp; <br /><br />I've included a post of some new polka dot slipper flats from Target.&nbsp; I'm leaning toward keeping these for sure.&nbsp; I like the slim, but tailored shape and the freshness of dots in a classic color with neutral brown trim.&nbsp; Playful, but grown up.<br /><br />I've sized up a little in these, so I can wear a simple insert.&nbsp; Best idea ever!<br />
