Could you try a half size up? </p> <p>I'm not crazy about #1 but I will admit I have a bias against Trotters as an "old lady" brand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---exotic-shoes#post-938921 Wed, 22 May 2013 15:15:55 +0000 Suz 938921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Angie - try to style them with outfits and see how you feel.

Experiment a little with those. </p> <p>I like #1 too! Lets see them with some outfits before we give them the final yay or nay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---exotic-shoes#post-938820 Wed, 22 May 2013 12:28:56 +0000 Archer 938820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2- can go lots more ways than the other two. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---exotic-shoes#post-938819 Wed, 22 May 2013 12:28:51 +0000 harmonica 938819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ #2 are gorgeous! But they have to be comfortable, so maybe look out for another pair in same style?<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---exotic-shoes#post-938818 Wed, 22 May 2013 12:22:09 +0000 annaj 938818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I much prefer you in pointy toed shoes - I think they look lovely and lady-like which is how I see you :)<br /><br />Having said that, go for comfort... but that might mean to keep looking! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---exotic-shoes#post-938813 Wed, 22 May 2013 12:02:45 +0000 Sveta 938813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I tried #1 and did not like how they look on my feet at all - more like real slippers than smoking slippers. I think it is the squearish toe that does it for me so I am not a fan of those. Also they felt kind of plasticky....<br />I like how #2 looks but I would pass if toes are squished. They are not worth future bunions!<br />I quite like the oxfords but I would play with them in your wardrobe to see if they mesh with your clothing and style. They are a bold statement so you need to be sure they work for you. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---exotic-shoes#post-938752 Wed, 22 May 2013 06:21:20 +0000 rachylou 938752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'd personally go for the second and third shoes.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---exotic-shoes#post-938739 Wed, 22 May 2013 05:38:09 +0000 Marley 938739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really like #s 1 and 2 - and think that they could both be easy fall-back shoes for most casual outfits - skirts or shorts!&nbsp; #3 seems too busy and stark of a print to me.&nbsp; I've seen oxfords in a leopard print that I think are much more attractive than these, so I'd hold out and look for something better than this oxford! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---exotic-shoes#post-938723 Wed, 22 May 2013 05:01:36 +0000 Deborah 938723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thistle you&nbsp;<b>need</b> to keep #2. &nbsp;The other two pairs nice, and interesting&nbsp;but I just don't see them working with your wardrobe. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---exotic-shoes#post-938651 Wed, 22 May 2013 02:58:43 +0000 amiable 938651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm no help - I like them all!&nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---exotic-shoes#post-938630 Wed, 22 May 2013 02:41:30 +0000 Adelfa 938630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love #2 but they're too uncomfortable to stay. &nbsp;I think #1 are not 10s. I like #3 but it doesn't look like a Thistle color palette to me. &nbsp;What would you wear them with? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---exotic-shoes#post-938624 Wed, 22 May 2013 02:34:56 +0000 Anonymous 938624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like 2. #1 is one of those which can go to frumpyland on a quick second, so I guess I would have to see them styled. # 3 are nice in concept but I find them too flimsy, I have seen them IRL. What do you think of the quality on 3? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---exotic-shoes#post-938555 Wed, 22 May 2013 01:05:05 +0000 K. Period. 938555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm going against the grain--I really like all three! I think that the trotters are a classic slipper shape, which lets my eye glide past the square toe. &nbsp;And maybe it is also that they are snakeskin print, so the square toe seems natural, like a snake head! &nbsp;I love the shagreen pointy toes (#2) and the tiger oxfords. However, I would still carefully consider whether to keep&nbsp;the tiger oxfords. The hair on calf hair shoes breaks off and leaves you with a bald spot, which means you have to decide whether to avoid all breakage and only wear with skirts or give in to the breakage and only wear with pants. &nbsp;They are a real commitment. &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---exotic-shoes#post-938549 Wed, 22 May 2013 01:00:23 +0000 Jaime 938549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the look of the second pair, but am wary of the not comfortable angle. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---exotic-shoes#post-938543 Wed, 22 May 2013 00:55:44 +0000 pil 938543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No shoe expert here, but considering looks and comfort, #1 is my favorite. I have squarish toed shoes but don't know if I would necessarily buy them again based on YLF influences. Pair #2 is really sharp but if they're not comfortable.......<br /> #3 I don't love and can't put a finger on why, but that is just me. If you keep them I'm sure you'll end up styling in some fabulous way and I'll have to eat my words : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---exotic-shoes#post-938503 Tue, 21 May 2013 23:52:51 +0000 kellygirl 938503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love 1 and 2. Those are great basic flat shoes and look more on trend than ballet flats. Those are the kind of shoes I'd wear every day (if I wasn't limping around.) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---exotic-shoes#post-938471 Tue, 21 May 2013 23:09:23 +0000 unfrumped 938471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thistle, I think this is a tough call for me. <br /><br />Trotters can be very comfortable but they have that squared off toe and go frumpy fast. I ordered and returned some Trotters low wedge pumps this spring for that reason. Looked matronly on. I think these tend this way though, the reptile is nice. I have found an almond toe or rounded point to look better on my foot--you might try. Isn't "pointy-toe" trendy but seems fairly classic and can be comfortable.<br /><br />The cutout vamp in the second shoe looks prettier on your foot, but if not comfortable, keep looking, but maybe another smoking slipper would work--there is a huge number out there now with a lot of variation in vamp, toe taper and so on. If for dresses, I would love to see you in a nude color for lower contrast, which to me helps the frumpy factor in low-heeled, higher vamp shoes. Pants OTOH are a lot more forgiving for various loafer styles.<br /><br />Number 3--I'm not sold on the tiger pattern but then that's just me. For the style, are you planning for pants or dresses? I think that style could be fab with pants but I'm having trouble finding the right look for skirts and dresses, myself, which is killing me because there is a good comfort factor there in tie shoes.<br /><br />Please take my comments with a large spoon of salt, because I have something of a poison eye for a lot of modern footwear with dresses, which is why I don't have any, or much, and am struggling. It might help to show them styled in some outfits. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---exotic-shoes#post-938466 Tue, 21 May 2013 23:04:47 +0000 Caro in Oz 938466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm not loving any of these for you Thistle - none of them have that wow factor imo&nbsp;:) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---exotic-shoes#post-938464 Tue, 21 May 2013 23:01:16 +0000 Anonymous 938464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep #2 for sure if comfy. I like the pointed toe and the color looks easy to wear unless they are too furry for summer. My second favorite is #1. They would also be easy to style. #3 is fun if you have the right pieces to pair with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---exotic-shoes#post-938459 Tue, 21 May 2013 22:56:53 +0000 Thistle 938459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Or, exotic to me!<br /><br />Pic 1-3 - Trotters smoking slippers in faux snakeskin. Super comfy, great support, and nice rubber sole. Just not sure if they say "fab shoe" or "wannabe fab shoe"<br /><br />Pic 4-6&nbsp; - Enzo Angiolini pointed toe calf hair slipper flats. Not very comfy, but they are leather, so they might break in. My toes are a bit squished.&nbsp; They ended up being brown rather than black. <br /><br />Pic 7-10 - Shoes with personality, according to DH! Dolca Vita oxfords in tiger print but made out of calf hair. Much more comfortable than I thought they would be.<br /><br /><br />All are returnable, so please let me know your honest thoughts!<br />
