The Sprint Step are the clear winner. Thanks for looking!

The Spring Step came out as the winner. They are more comfortable on my feet than the All Saints (the All Saints run narrower) and the sporty vibe of the Spring Step works well with this leg of my style journey. Thank you all for your help! Lisa on "K/R: Olive Sneakers (Long)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-olive-sneakers-long#post-2370964 Thu, 26 Sep 2024 00:11:45 +0000 Lisa 2370964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Suz - The Spring Steps are indeed comfortable and coming out in the lead on this keep/return post. Angie - It's nice to know that both greens can work with my wardrobe. While both brands are comfortable, after wearing them around the house the Spring Steps seem like a better fit on my feet. Looks like I have a winner for green sneakers! Yay! Cate - The All Saints are a lovely shade of a warm olive green.

Heading into the cold weather here so the All Saints look more seasonally appropriate to me. Angie on "K/R: Olive Sneakers (Long)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-olive-sneakers-long#post-2370947 Wed, 25 Sep 2024 20:12:01 +0000 Angie 2370947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That's a great set of outfits, Lisa! You look fab :) I think BOTH greens work well with your wardrobe. They are complementary in different ways. Neither worse than the other. I see zero clashes!  I vote go with fit and comfort. The Spring Steps tend to look and fit better on your feet, from what I can see here. I like the cream bits that match your favourite cream bag!  Suz on "K/R: Olive Sneakers (Long)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-olive-sneakers-long#post-2370929 Wed, 25 Sep 2024 16:33:31 +0000 Suz 2370929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Spring Step if the comfort's there! I really like them.  Lisa on "K/R: Olive Sneakers (Long)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-olive-sneakers-long#post-2370918 Wed, 25 Sep 2024 13:26:37 +0000 Lisa 2370918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Aquamarine - No worries, thanks for taking a look! I know it is a tough decision, both are good options! :) <div>Firecracker (Sharan) - I agree, the Spring Steps are more sporty looking and I do have a sporty vibe to my style. A great ideal to swap laces in sneakers, I did not think of that. Thanks!</div> Kate, Runcarla, Sal, and cjh - It looks like the lighter sole, contrasting laces, and sporty look of the Spring Step are in the lead. DH agrees with you, he likes the Spring Step more too. Jenni NZ - A great point, I am not a dull dresser, I favor more playful, sporty, colorful styles right now. The Spring Step fit that vibe a bit more. And another good point, that I certainly do have other sneakers I can wear with the greens if the sneakers I decide on clash with those couple of items. Thanks for looking! Star - A great point about not having to always match. My matchy-matchy self can certainly go overboard with doing that. And it would be impossible to perfectly match every color, every single time. Also a good point about owning two green options, one is bound to be worn more than another, what a great insight! Thanks! kellygirl - I agree that the Spring Step have a more sporty vibe, which is certainly more in line with my current style. Glad the fit info is helpful!  kellygirl on "K/R: Olive Sneakers (Long)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-olive-sneakers-long#post-2370916 Wed, 25 Sep 2024 12:58:32 +0000 kellygirl 2370916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I prefer the more sporty spring steps in all of these. The All Saints are nice but dull with the gum sole. I think those would look better as a "refined" sneaker to wear with full length pants where you want the footwear to look more subdued and sleek and not stand out. Thanks for describing the fit too. Very helpful! cjh on "K/R: Olive Sneakers (Long)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-olive-sneakers-long#post-2370914 Wed, 25 Sep 2024 12:48:41 +0000 cjh 2370914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My favorite is the pair with the lighter laces. To me, a little more sporty casual, fresh and dare I say youthful? I don’t think it matters if they are just a tiny shade off any other olives you have. Sal on "K/R: Olive Sneakers (Long)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-olive-sneakers-long#post-2370911 Wed, 25 Sep 2024 07:52:18 +0000 Sal 2370911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am drawn to the Spring Step - crisper and I like the contrast laces.

All that said if I have to choose it is the Spring Step.  I would not take both because one will probably not get worn too much because of the similar roles. Hhhm, I just checked out your wardrobe and there were no teal sneaks, why do I remember these with a orange stripe?  Sorry my mistake.  Do you still have the mineral blue sneaks, they may work with olive in an interesting way.... Jenni NZ on "K/R: Olive Sneakers (Long)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-olive-sneakers-long#post-2370902 Wed, 25 Sep 2024 04:43:54 +0000 Jenni NZ 2370902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the Spring Step better in almost all outfits. The green is much nicer to my eye. I don’t feel they clash with the olive pants. I agree the All Saints is a more perfect match with those pants, but they also look kind of dull and you don’t seem dull at all! Once you owned the Spring Step (if you choose to do that), I don’t feel you would even think about it. You also have other sneakers you could wear if you don’t like those greens together in that particular outfit.

Firecracker (Sharan) on "K/R: Olive Sneakers (Long)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-olive-sneakers-long#post-2370896 Wed, 25 Sep 2024 02:20:34 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2370896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think the AllSaints go with all the outfits. They look more neutral to me. The Spring Steps go with most of the outfits, but seem to fight a little bit with the olive pants and maybe the olive jacket. The Spring Steps look sportier, with the contrasting laces, and in that way they seem like a good fit with your style. You could get some off-white, or striped, or black, or other laces to wear with the AllSaints pair sometimes, though.  I have a slight preference for the AllSaints, but I think either pair could work for you. If neither one is right on its own, you could keep looking, too. Aquamarine on "K/R: Olive Sneakers (Long)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-olive-sneakers-long#post-2370894 Wed, 25 Sep 2024 01:37:50 +0000 Aquamarine 2370894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That’s a tough one. I’m personally drawn to the Spring Steps’ clearer green. I think they work but perhaps the All Saints would blend in more/stand out less? Depends how you feel I guess. Sorry, not much help. Lisa on "K/R: Olive Sneakers (Long)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-olive-sneakers-long#post-2370888 Wed, 25 Sep 2024 01:19:38 +0000 Lisa 2370888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hello. I'm trying to decide whether to keep or return these olive sneakers. I'm looking for one pair that will work well with the browns, greens, black, and blues in my wardrobe. #1 - All Saints vs Spring Step <ul> <li>The All Saints (on the left) are warmer toned and suede material. </li> <li> The Spring Step (on the right) are cooler toned and waterproof material.   </li> <li>For fit and comfort, both brands seem good.</li> <li>The Spring Step has a slightly wider toe box and a firmer sole.</li> <li>The All Saints run very small and narrow, I had to go up a full size to get a proper fit. The All Saints have a nice amount of cushion and a softer sole.</li> <li>I can see me wearing either sneaker for a full day of walking. Both were comfortable out of the box. So from a fit perspective, both are strong contenders.</li> </ul> #2 - Today's Outfit Today's outfit is from my <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pumpkin-spice-capsule-week-1-long">pumpkin spice capsule</a> with my Ecco's. #3 - Today's Outfit with Spring Step It's amazing the difference that swapping sneakers can make Angie! The Spring Step pair perfectly with this outfit, the greens in the tee and sneakers match. BUT, I'd like sneakers that are more versatile than pairing well with only one outfit. #4 - Today's Outfit with All Saints Today's outfit with the All Saints. Do the different greens clash too much? #5 - Navy Joggers with Spring Step Here's the Spring Step with a navy outfit and a plain white tee so you can focus on the sneakers. Again it looks like the Spring Step work better than the All Saints in the next photo. #6 - Navy Joggers with All Saints Here's the All Saints paired with a navy outfit. #7 - Black Shorts and Green Jacket with Spring Step While the Spring Step worked in the first two outfits, do the greens of the jacket and Spring Step clash here? #8 - Black Shorts and Green Jacket with All Saints The greens of the jacket and All Saints look better right? #9 - Tan Shorts with Spring Step Again it looks like the Spring Step clashes with the tan? #10 - Tan Shorts with All Saints The green of the All Saints look better here? #11 - Olive Pants with Spring Step Unstyled outfit of olive pants with a white tee to focus on the sneakers. Do these greens of the Spring Step and Olive Pants clash? #12 - Olive Pants with All Saints Again it looks like the All Saints look better with the Olive Pants here? #13 - Olive Pants with Spring Step - Close up and  #14 - Olive Pants with All Saints - Close up Close up of both sneakers with the olive pants. So I'm torn between these two sneakers. It looks like with some outfits the Spring Step look better, while others the All Saints look better. But I was only shopping for one pair! What do you think? Is there one pair that works best? This was a long one, if you made it to the end, thanks for looking!
