The aqua shoes are lovely but if they can't be made to fit, personally I would return them. I am glad you returned the metallic ones with the chain. &nbsp;Love the blue velvet shoes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-question-on-flats#post-1889924 Thu, 15 Feb 2018 14:14:14 +0000 Anonymous 1889924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your helpful comments. I should probably return the aqua loafers as loafers just stretch out with wear. I will try some inserts to see if they fit better although they do not fall off, even when walking fast or on stairs. Yes, Jenni, they may go to Maui as they are a good color. I still have some return window time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-question-on-flats#post-1889923 Thu, 15 Feb 2018 14:07:32 +0000 Suz 1889923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blue ones (3) look pretty and great for a house shoe as well. I agree about #1 on fit -- love the colour but it seems too wide for you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-question-on-flats#post-1889912 Thu, 15 Feb 2018 13:28:06 +0000 unfrumped 1889912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would try the aqua with a thin removable insert for now-later wear. I am having the dickens with shoe fits because the size that “ looks” right and fits snugly at heel almost always pinches right foot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-question-on-flats#post-1889873 Thu, 15 Feb 2018 10:08:51 +0000 Anonymous 1889873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad you returned the silver ones with chains. &nbsp;I did like the velvet ones, but if they were digging in in the heel, back they go. &nbsp;</p> <p>Do the aqua ones slip off your feet when you walk? &nbsp;If not, they might be ok. &nbsp;I too worry about HEWIs on your behalf. &nbsp;But that is because we want the best for you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-question-on-flats#post-1889868 Thu, 15 Feb 2018 09:30:49 +0000 Jenni NZ 1889868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! They were my favourite ones. Might take a trip to Maui? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-question-on-flats#post-1889857 Thu, 15 Feb 2018 06:19:54 +0000 Anonymous 1889857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Update: the silver with chains went back, not really my style and chains were too long. Sadly , the blue velvet pair dug into my heels so went back. I still an considering the aqua loafers. They are a bit big but comfortable. I think they will be just right as a shoe with bare feet in warm weather. We will see. I may have HEWI blinders. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-question-on-flats#post-1881194 Sun, 21 Jan 2018 07:58:41 +0000 Jenni NZ 1881194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's really good that the new climate is more suitable for not being allowed to wear sandals.<br /> You are right about Angie's eye for shoe fit. When I bought 2 new pairs of black sandals in Australia March 2017 Angie said one was a much better fit in the toe box. I was puzzled as had tried both on in store and thought both fitted. But wearing them, she is so right. The one pair is really too tight across my toes (pic 2) and the pair she said was a better fit ( pic 1) is. It makes me almost scared to buy shoes without Angie approval! And I have started to pay much greater attention to shoe fit as don't want to get carried away liking shoes then making errors.<br /> So if Angie is correct about the teal ones not being so good a fit, that's sad cos they're cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-question-on-flats#post-1881188 Sun, 21 Jan 2018 06:39:24 +0000 Gigi 1881188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1 and 3 but am not a fan of 2. I think that the chains are a little harsh for your overall style, and I think they look a little loose around the ankle as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-question-on-flats#post-1881183 Sun, 21 Jan 2018 05:18:28 +0000 Dianna 1881183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love number 1, but it looks as if the shoe is a bit too wide for your feet, Joy. I like the navy velvet ones on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-question-on-flats#post-1881156 Sun, 21 Jan 2018 03:32:33 +0000 Anonymous 1881156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like 2 will go back for sure. I have nearly 90 days to decide about 1 and 3, so think I will play with them and wear them around the house to be sure that they are not rubbing.<br /> Jenni, it was very hard to hear that I could not wear sandals as I hate for my feet to be hot. Luckily my new climate is much more moderate in summer. I have found that perforated shoes, De 'Osay style and fabrics are cooling enough.<br /> Zaeobi, I love living here. It is so beautiful and good to be outdoors.<br /> This year has been a rather dry winter. As you know, snow usually evaporates before it can become slushy. The mist rising from the snow is still a weird sight for me.<br /> Angie, thank you for your wisdom. You have such a good eye. My feet swell slightly in summer so the aqua pair may fit better then.<br /> Shevia, you are so wise. I should do full outfits before deciding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-question-on-flats#post-1881153 Sun, 21 Jan 2018 03:29:27 +0000 Jaime 1881153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite pair are #3, the fit shape and color all look perfect. I would want to see the other two with a full outfit to decide. I am not ruling out chains for you so fast, but I can't get a good sense from just your foot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-question-on-flats#post-1881152 Sun, 21 Jan 2018 03:13:09 +0000 Zaeobi 1881152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 if that's the colour you're looking for, &amp; it fits an elegant/ classic style. But if you aren't sure about them yet, you could keep them for a bit &amp; try remixing them with different outfits to see if they work or not (even try them on in the house if needed). But personally, it sounds like these shoes fill a wardrobe hole of yours (something to match your bag). </p> <p>Are the chains for #2 removable? You could unthread them from the strap &amp; wear the flats as is, but they may not be designed for much support if you do that (if you have narrow heels, an ankle strap may be what's holding the shoe to your foot otherwise, lol). May want to check this before committing. Also I don't know about you but, metal around my ankle all day would irritate me - especially if it's cold to the touch, or cuts or digs in in any way whilst walking. </p> <p>The slightly pointed toe on #3 is cute but how do you plan to wear them? Because the velvet material won't hold up well against rain or slush (after snow). </p> <p>Also I see you're in Boulder County. I was in Boulder &amp; Longmont before - miss that area! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-question-on-flats#post-1881150 Sun, 21 Jan 2018 03:03:10 +0000 Anonymous 1881150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in love with those navy flats! They're just so pretty.&nbsp; On the second pair, I don't think I could really pull off the chains myself, so I might be a bit prejudiced against them. I like the first pair too, though! The tassels on the aqua shoes give them a fun little detail.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-question-on-flats#post-1881148 Sun, 21 Jan 2018 02:51:37 +0000 Sal 1881148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1 and 3 - 3 would be a lovely indoor winter shoe! 1 I love for you in terms of colour and style.</p> <p>2 - I think you can do better- there are metallic options around at the moment and I agree re the chains. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-question-on-flats#post-1881146 Sun, 21 Jan 2018 02:45:30 +0000 SarahD8 1881146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I SUPER love the aqua loafers and sort of want a pair myself! </p> <p>The blue flats seem like a solid choice.</p> <p>I can’t quite tell from the angle, but my worry with the silver flats is that they might be too loose around your slender ankles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-question-on-flats#post-1881121 Sun, 21 Jan 2018 00:03:46 +0000 Angie 1881121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #3 best.

They're a fresh, pretty color and will enhance the colors you wear. I like everything about the silver ones except the chains. </p> <p>For me, the velvet would be a point in favor of the navy shoes; I have a weakness for all things velvet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-question-on-flats#post-1881113 Sat, 20 Jan 2018 23:40:05 +0000 Mainelady 1881113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with keeping the aqua and the navy. I think you will find a lot to wear them with. To my eye the chains are too heavy looking in #2. I’d keep looking for another silver pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-question-on-flats#post-1881110 Sat, 20 Jan 2018 23:35:40 +0000 Anonymous 1881110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Same from me : no to 2, and yes to 1 and 3.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-question-on-flats#post-1881109 Sat, 20 Jan 2018 23:28:49 +0000 Zibbets 1881109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like 1 and 3.

Lovely colour and look just right on your feet.<br /> I'm not feeling the chains for your style. And a bit meh on the navy, they're fine but you have such cool stuff usually that these don't really do it for me.<br /> I'm trying to move to flats too. Relieved I can still wear sandals though, that prohibition must have been difficult. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-question-on-flats#post-1881102 Sat, 20 Jan 2018 23:14:32 +0000 Anonymous 1881102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The toe shape is lovely on the blue ones.

They are all very different, seem comfortable and will probably be eorn lots. I wear flats all year as I am not allowed to wear heels or sandals for medical reasons.<br /> First up, aqua Peter Millar tassel loafers. This color has been a HEWI and these seem to be exactly what I wanted. I have an aqua bag that will work with them and hope to add more aqua pieces this year. But I would like your opinion.<br /> Next, BCBGeneration metallic silver flats with ankle chains and back zippers. These and the aqua loafers are both leather stamped with an animal print.<br /> Pro: I wear silver footwear a lot as it bookends my hair. These are different and very comfortable. Con: those chains. Out of my comfort zone. Do they look ok?<br /> Last, Borne navy velvet flats. Pro, feel dreamy on and I like the toe shape. I need some navy shoes.<br /> Cons: velvet. Should I hold out for the right leather pair? I could wear these as house shoes.<br /> I welcome your thoughts. They were each on clearence and I can keep all, some or none of them. I don't need the silver ones as I have another pair but like them as something different. If I keep the blue velvet, I will probably watch for another pair of navy shoes but would be more open for a different style, like oxfords or booties or sneakers. </p>
