So perhaps a little biased. I wear them "high-contrast" all the time, and well as with white jeans.&nbsp;</p> <p>You are tall, so really, I see no problem with proportions.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-booties-and-mutant-feet#post-1143024 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 16:51:57 +0000 Karie 1143024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like that the eye is drawn to them (they're so dang adorable!) but I want them to stand out in a good way - I don't want people asking, "Can you waterski with those things?" or "When is the boat setting sail?"&nbsp;And while I don't want to keep them for the life I don't live in dress pants, my sewing machine and I are currently building my pants wardrobe (for real, not in my fantasy life).</p> <p>AJ, I know it doesn't sound that way here, but in my mind I think I'm trying to talk myself <i>out</i> of them, not into them. I mean after all, how many cute shoes does one actually need? (Wait...I'm still counting...nope, can't count that high!)</p> <p>And Deborah, I really resonate with what you said.&nbsp;The two most recent purchases that I was in a quandary about - the J.Crew Matchsticks and the Marc Andrew print feather jacket - I kept and they are real wardrobe workhorses, I absolutely love them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-booties-and-mutant-feet#post-1142873 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 13:13:49 +0000 Anonymous 1142873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are pretty, but I can also see that they draw the eye to them. Often, that is what one desires in footwear - to make a statement. I vote keep if you like the bold statement! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-booties-and-mutant-feet#post-1142869 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 13:02:04 +0000 Karie 1142869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! I think it's a tie <i>*sigh - what to do, what to do*&nbsp;</i> Curses to my big feet! Too bad the pups can't help me out on this one - bark once for keep, twice for return.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-booties-and-mutant-feet#post-1142820 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 08:09:44 +0000 Deborah 1142820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have similar booties in white and I have very small feet I also thought my feet looked huge when I first got the booties. I think it was a combination of the high contrast of the white (I mostly wear mine with black skinnies) and the point which I was still getting used to. I absolutely love mine, and I love these on you. Keep. Your feet look more than fine to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-booties-and-mutant-feet#post-1142754 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 05:42:24 +0000 AJ 1142754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have this same issue when trying on high contrast shoes.</p> <p>Honestly, when I find that I'm trying to talk myself into buying/keeping an item, then it's not PPP. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-booties-and-mutant-feet#post-1142749 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 05:28:52 +0000 deb 1142749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look good on you. It may be the color difference between your pants and the boots. Try lighter pants and see if you like them better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-booties-and-mutant-feet#post-1142739 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 05:08:21 +0000 Neel 1142739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this!! I see no scary feet :). And I actually love high contrast footwear. So yeah .... Sugar eye and all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-booties-and-mutant-feet#post-1142727 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 04:56:02 +0000 Catnip 1142727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To be completely honest, they look OK but not great.&nbsp; I have the same problem with pointy toed boots and shoes.&nbsp; I wear an 8 1/2 which, on my feet, looks big enough without the extra length required for pointy toes.</p> <p>However, if you love them, keep them.&nbsp; Remember that they look longer when seen from the top looking down than when seen by someone who is not wearing them.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-booties-and-mutant-feet#post-1142725 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 04:53:25 +0000 Debbie 1142725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them. For me it would be the high contrast. I love the high contrast on others but I have a hard time adjusting to it on myself. Maybe that's the problem because we are looking down at them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-booties-and-mutant-feet#post-1142718 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 04:45:58 +0000 Janet 1142718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried them too, Karie, and they went back. I just couldn't take all white on my feet, and my feet are decidedly average sized (size 8 on a 5'7" frame). For me, I realized they were too high contrast with my preferred dark bottoms, and I just felt a little too conspicuous. I think that my dark hair plays a part in this too, since I gravitate to darker footwear for bookending. I think I'm better off with footwear that incorporates some white (ie, my new Ash wedge sneakers) without being ALL white.</p> <p>I do agree that the dark, narrow-legged jeans in your photos are emphasizing the white boots a lot, so I wonder if you might just want to try some other stylings before deciding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-booties-and-mutant-feet#post-1142709 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 04:27:22 +0000 Gigi 1142709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find them distracting, to be honest. I think it's going to be difficult to style them in a way that doesn't make them the center of attention. I think that the combination of the long toe and the lack of much heel is what makes them seem "mutant." If it were me, I would continue the search. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-booties-and-mutant-feet#post-1142696 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 04:11:01 +0000 Karie 1142696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, so true about Frankenboot! Now that was a mutant foot!&nbsp;</p> <p>I still don't know what I will do...I'll have to take a peek inside my closet and see what I could wear these with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-booties-and-mutant-feet#post-1142658 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 03:30:23 +0000 Suz 1142658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are awesome, and if you want to talk about mutant feet, go put on Frankenboot again.&nbsp;</p> <p>I do think the pointy toe can take some getting used to from above.&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't actually mind the bookending here (high contrast with pants) because you have the legs to wear whatever trousers you like.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-booties-and-mutant-feet#post-1142602 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 02:26:23 +0000 Eliza 1142602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nothing frightening about you, Karie. &nbsp;I find that high contrast footwear takes a bit of getting used to and some just feel too conspicuous to me because of a variety of factors. &nbsp;I say wear them around the house&nbsp;and see if you adjust your perspective. &nbsp;If not, return. They do look cool- but may have features that contribute to making them too prominent for you. Kudos for trying new stuff. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-booties-and-mutant-feet#post-1142593 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 02:20:55 +0000 annagybe 1142593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 'em. I have size ten feet. I like to say I have a firm grip on terra firma. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-booties-and-mutant-feet#post-1142592 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 02:19:58 +0000 DonnaF 1142592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those look very cute on you!&nbsp; I think your eyes have to adjust.&nbsp; The high contrast, NARROW bottomed pants create an optical illusions.&nbsp; Why don't you try them with slightly wider bottomed pants to break your eyes in? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-booties-and-mutant-feet#post-1142585 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 02:14:06 +0000 Karie 1142585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hummm....<i></i>I could wear them with my white jeans, but I only have the one pair, and I don't really want shoes that I can only wear with one pair of pants. Perhaps I should continue the search for a pair of white booties that have a bit of a heel and a slightly rounded toe, that would offset the elongating effect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-booties-and-mutant-feet#post-1142576 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 02:04:54 +0000 Anonymous 1142576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the high contrast plus looking down on them is throwin you off. I wear a 10 in Zara shoes, and I am shorter than you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-booties-and-mutant-feet#post-1142552 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 01:51:47 +0000 nancylee 1142552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Mo said, I think it's the high contrast that's making you self-conscious. &nbsp;Any white footwear is going to stand out more than dark or neutral footwear. &nbsp;FWIW, I wear an 8 1/2 shoe (and I'm only 5' 5"), so I hear you on the "big foot" thing. &nbsp;:)</p> <p>I really think these are fashionable and striking on you. &nbsp;If you can get used to the high contrast I say keep them and enjoy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-booties-and-mutant-feet#post-1142551 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 01:51:31 +0000 Emily 1142551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see what you see, though&nbsp;the high contrast between your jeans and the white shoes likely amplify the effect.</p> <p>Your facial expressions are charming, as are your obviously adoring pups! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-booties-and-mutant-feet#post-1142549 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 01:48:51 +0000 cuffcat 1142549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The boots were the first thing that I noticed. Maybe worn with lighter bottoms, but they seem so prominent with the denim. Do you like them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-booties-and-mutant-feet#post-1142545 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 01:46:10 +0000 rae 1142545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are too funny! I have large feet for my height and am very very sensitive about this, so take it with a grain of salt that I do kind of find them to make the foot look unusually long. Perhaps if you try them with some light colored or white bottoms? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-booties-and-mutant-feet#post-1142543 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 01:45:09 +0000 Mo 1142543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the high contrast is throwing you off more than anything. &nbsp;But, having issues with my own pointy toe boots, I get it! &nbsp;I think they look fine, by the way </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-zara-booties-and-mutant-feet#post-1142538 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 01:42:13 +0000 Karie 1142538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like these Zara booties from Angie's post&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2014/01/03/ensemble-winter-white-out/"><br /> Ensemble: Winter Whiteout&nbsp;&nbsp;</a>but I fear they make my feet look like those of&nbsp;some giant mutant creature. I get that it is the nature of pointy toed booties to make one's feet look bigger, but I don't want to scare small children when walking down the street! They come in a size 8 and a size 9 (not 8 1/2), and the 8 was waaaay too small, the 9 fits perfectly but perhaps slightly long in the toe - I'll never know since there's no 8 1/2.&nbsp;They're very comfy.&nbsp;</p> <p>So give it to me straight and don't spare my feelings - did you look at the pics and exclaim, "Oh my! What huge feet she has!" or "She sure has some goofy expressions on her face, but I see no problem with the shoes." </p>
