Unless it's a shoe emergency and you have to have some new shoes, you can find better, I'm sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-naturalizer-ideal-slingbacks#post-627846 Thu, 24 May 2012 19:14:16 +0000 Anonymous 627846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you have the incorrect shoe size. Naturalizer has different widths too. I would say go to the store and try all of the different shoe size/widths combinations, before you dsmiss them. I actually prefer low vamp shoes. I find them much more flattering on the foot. I find sling backs particularly annoying since your pants tend to sneak in between you heel and the shoe as you walk. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-naturalizer-ideal-slingbacks#post-627678 Thu, 24 May 2012 15:33:17 +0000 Suz 627678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, just chiming in to say I totally hear you on the low vamp thing. I can do sling backs, too, unlike most low vamp shoes. </p> <p>I hope the new options work for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-naturalizer-ideal-slingbacks#post-627672 Thu, 24 May 2012 15:29:58 +0000 Diana 627672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I am almost certainly sending them back. The puckering bugs me a lot! I have another option (or two) on the way though. </p> <p>Mary, I think you are right about the toe shape. It's weird though, my toes fill up every space in the shoe except that one spot!</p> <p>Jonesy , slingbacks are actually one of the only types of low vamp pumps I can wear and that don't fly off my feet or cut up my heels. Because of their construction, slingbacks also tend to not bother my bunion nearly as much as other styles. I have MAJOR issues with most other types of pumps so in this case it's a comfort thing. Both pairs of my black dressy shoes are also slingback styles. I'd consider an ankle strap style but I can't find any dressy ones with reasonable heels.</p> <p>Rita, I actually really want matte gold or pewter (not patent or very shiny metallic) but can't seem to find them right now! Since I got rid of all my summer dressy shoes a couple of weeks ago, I do need a pair of non-black dressy shoes and they need to be neutral enough to go with various colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-naturalizer-ideal-slingbacks#post-627586 Thu, 24 May 2012 14:04:38 +0000 modgrl 627586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are lovely shoes but they don't really seem your style. Are you trying to fill a nude fancy shoe hole in your wardrobe? Remember, "nude" shoes don't necessarily need to be "nude." They could be low contrast greige, pewter, bronze, animal, snake, etc. I am digging those more than super nude, nude shoes these days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-naturalizer-ideal-slingbacks#post-627585 Thu, 24 May 2012 14:02:38 +0000 Jonesy 627585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not really a fan...There's that asymmetrical part, then the puckering, then the whole slingback thing--are you are slingback type of woman? Not sure if they go with your style, but obviously you know your own style better than I do :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-naturalizer-ideal-slingbacks#post-627568 Thu, 24 May 2012 13:52:04 +0000 marianna 627568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got that same kind of puckering when I tried the Cole Haan peep toe wedges Angie posted about recently. Everything else about the shoe was perfect except the puckering, so I passed. I just couldn't get over it.</p> <p>I think you can find something that will fit better. I'd keep looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-naturalizer-ideal-slingbacks#post-627519 Thu, 24 May 2012 11:45:22 +0000 Midwest Girl 627519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the side view, but I'm not a fan of the asymmetrical vamp. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-naturalizer-ideal-slingbacks#post-627505 Thu, 24 May 2012 10:52:14 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 627505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are the asymmetrical toe-line adds a bit of interest. I like them and if they are comfortable they are winners. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-naturalizer-ideal-slingbacks#post-627504 Thu, 24 May 2012 10:49:04 +0000 Anonymous 627504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to agree with Elle NE. I think you have feet very similar to mine. The puckering results because our toes don't extend that far up the shoe. I have seen similar things on my feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-naturalizer-ideal-slingbacks#post-627490 Thu, 24 May 2012 07:52:11 +0000 fieldmouse 627490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to echo what Shannon said, others aren't going to be looking at your shoes from the same angle. How does the puckering look in the mirror? Although if it's going to irritate you regardless, every time you look down, probably not worth keeping them only to be annoyed whenever you wear them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-naturalizer-ideal-slingbacks#post-627445 Thu, 24 May 2012 04:13:32 +0000 Diana 627445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies.</p> <p>Hmm... I think part of the reason that they are puckering is that the leather is very soft. Kind of how you get puckering with very soft ballet flats. It does bug me a bit though! I am ordering some other options... so there may be a sequel next week, and then I will decide what to do about these. </p> <p>Beth Ann, I want these for more fancy sitting-shoe occasions. Since I don't do so many of those, I can't justify buying anything really funky hence the more classic style. (That plus my fussy feet really limits the type of open shoes I can wear.) Anything I buy has to be versatile enough to go with all the summer wedding outfits. I actually prefer a pale gold/bronze instead of nude but those metallics doesn't seem to be very popular this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-naturalizer-ideal-slingbacks#post-627435 Thu, 24 May 2012 03:55:56 +0000 Beth Ann 627435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely shoes, and the puckering thing wouldn't be a deal breaker for me, if they are truly comfortable. They are a very classic shoe, and not a style that you typically sport. Are you wanting something classic for a change? If so, then go for it! You certainly have some lovely skirts and frocks that would work nicely with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-naturalizer-ideal-slingbacks#post-627418 Thu, 24 May 2012 03:27:56 +0000 rae 627418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That puckering is driving me insane from here. :T </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-naturalizer-ideal-slingbacks#post-627407 Thu, 24 May 2012 03:17:59 +0000 kellygirl 627407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The puckering makes me think that something doesn't fit quite right. Unless you think they are going to stretch out, I would keep looking. I do really like them though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-naturalizer-ideal-slingbacks#post-627397 Thu, 24 May 2012 03:03:30 +0000 Suz 627397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm. They look super from the side, but I am with you on the issues with the front view. </p> <p>I agree with Claire - looks like an asymmetrical neckline on your foot! It is a neat idea, in theory. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-naturalizer-ideal-slingbacks#post-627392 Thu, 24 May 2012 02:58:26 +0000 Transcona Shannon 627392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking at it again Diana and my thoughts are that no one is going to look down at your foot at the same angle as you are so really, is anyone going to notice this? Is it a deal breaker for you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-naturalizer-ideal-slingbacks#post-627385 Thu, 24 May 2012 02:52:35 +0000 Diana 627385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, I just added another photo showing the toe puckering. I think it's caused by the shape of my foot. =( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-naturalizer-ideal-slingbacks#post-627370 Thu, 24 May 2012 02:37:43 +0000 Transcona Shannon 627370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good things first - you are right. From the side they look fantastic and I actually like the colour on you.</p> <p>But I see what you mean about the puckering thing at the front (especially on your left foot). Is it possible that's just from the shoes being packaged or stiff? Possible that it might loosen up and go away? Or do you think it's a fit issue?</p> <p>The toe cleavage wouldn't bother me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-naturalizer-ideal-slingbacks#post-627368 Thu, 24 May 2012 02:36:46 +0000 Tanya 627368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them, they look nice on your feet! If they feel comfy I would keep them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-naturalizer-ideal-slingbacks#post-627363 Thu, 24 May 2012 02:28:39 +0000 Anonymous 627363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're nice! That is a funny vamp shape, though. It reminds me of an asymmetrical neckline on a top, cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-naturalizer-ideal-slingbacks#post-627359 Thu, 24 May 2012 02:25:43 +0000 Diana 627359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I asked about summer sandal options last week everyone seemed to like these, so I ordered them and they have just arrived. What do you all think? The fit is good and they do not seem to bother my bunion or fly off my feet. I like the way they look from the side but I think from the top they look a little weird. Too much toe cleavage maybe and they are doing this weird puckering thing at the front. The "nude" is also way too light to be nude for me, but I expected that going in and it does not really bother me.</p> <p>ETA: Added another photo to show the toe puckering thing. It's more obvious when I stand and put weight on them (I am sitting in photo 3). I think it's a function of my foot shape. </p>
