I found they do not work well for my feet at all. I have bought similar patent red crock loafers a couple of years ago ( mine had 1.5 heel) and could not wear them at all. They were fine for the first hour but then they were rubbing the top of my toes and stretching did not help.<br />What I am trying to say: get different styles and different brands and really put them through their paces indoors to see if they are comfortable.<br />For the style I like 1 and 2 the best.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/least-frumpy#post-1343639 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 02:35:28 +0000 Jenava 1343639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I rather fancy these, in the grey:</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/naot-footwear-montage-black-raven-leather-black-stretch" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/naot-foo.....ck-stretch</a></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/least-frumpy#post-1343634 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 02:29:38 +0000 Jenava 1343634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would say NO to 3, 5 and 7.&nbsp; The rest I think are OK.&nbsp; have you also looked at Naot?&nbsp; Very pricey, and can be frumpy, but incredibly comfy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/least-frumpy#post-1343556 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 00:05:33 +0000 Thistle 1343556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My fall wardrobe is in flux as I don't know when the cold is actually coming. My uniform has been black pants and a either a plain v-neck top or a patterned top with the tie under the girls. I have a couple of cardis that can go over my short sleeved tops. I have a teal and burgundy maternity sweater. I am hoping not to need anymore tops. I will need to buy another pair or two of trousers to get me to the end as three pair of my pants in rotation are cropped or ankle length.</p> <p>I try not to wear the same pair of shoes twice in a row, both to save the shoes and my feet. I am planning to get 2-3 pairs. If they are still in good shape at the end, I will give them to my sister. Her normal shoe size is half a size up from mine and in a wide. That's why we can't usually share shoes.</p> <p>I ordered 1-4 and will let you all know how they fit and look when they arrive. Depending on how these work, I will check out Clark's like CocoLion and Carter recommended. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/least-frumpy#post-1343458 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 21:16:23 +0000 misapb 1343458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What are you planning to wear them with?</p> <p>#4 are the least frumpy, in my opinion. &nbsp;They look the most youthful and interesting while still being incredibly versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/least-frumpy#post-1343334 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 18:27:35 +0000 Day Vies 1343334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I definitely understand your need for slip-ons. Bending over to put on a shoe was not worth the effort after 4 months. I think #1 is perfect, it has pattern, there is no tapering at the toe and it looks fabulous. Not sure about your foot but I am wide across the ball of my foot so any shoe that doesn't have hardware across the top is ideal because the buckle, strap, decoration isn't cutting into the top of my foot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/least-frumpy#post-1343127 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 06:44:03 +0000 CocoLion 1343127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about these?</p> <p>And from your selections, I like #1 best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/least-frumpy#post-1343123 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 06:37:08 +0000 Ingunn 1343123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second 1-4. They are all great. Clarks saved me when I was pregnant, but be picky, they are not all the same in regards of comfort. Look for their Softline. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/least-frumpy#post-1343096 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 04:27:33 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1343096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My picks are, in this order: 1, 4, 2, 3. I think these are all attractive styles. The others look more like comfort shoes, though they do still have quite a bit of style, to my eye. Especially 5, which has a sporty sneaker look. Have you tried the Munro Kimi loafers that Angie has featured? I have them, and they are comfy. Could be another possibility for you, if they're still available. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/least-frumpy#post-1343065 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 03:44:52 +0000 Debbie 1343065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the red ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/least-frumpy#post-1343058 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 03:38:06 +0000 Anonymous 1343058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 and #4 best, I think. It also seems like #7 would look almost like a pair of booties with long pants, so I could see them being really versatile and easy to wear when it's really cold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/least-frumpy#post-1343051 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 03:31:13 +0000 Bijou 1343051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Number 1 gets my vote. &nbsp;I have a pair similar (I live in Australia, so just coming out of winter here) and I have a pair of Ecco patent shoes similar to these and get lots of wear from them. &nbsp;They are great with pants and also if I wear black opaque tights they work with above the knee dresses and skirts. I would say DO NOT buy anything that makes you feel frumpy - there is a fab solution out there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/least-frumpy#post-1343028 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 02:54:53 +0000 JAileen 1343028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the red one best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/least-frumpy#post-1342980 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 01:39:30 +0000 Thistle 1342980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will give Clark's a look. Thanks for the recommendation! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/least-frumpy#post-1342966 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 01:05:38 +0000 carter 1342966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think all are cute. I will say that I find Trotters to be hit or miss on both comfort and size. The wide is really not very wide in my experience. When they work though, they're great. The thing with walking cradles is (from what I've seen) the footbed. It's like one of those egg crate mattress toppers. Awesome for the bottom of the foot, but I have sent a couple pair back because the leather upper was unforgiving. If the wide works for you, these could be great though. Does Clark have anything that would work for you? For me, these just feel amazing every time I put them on (and my feet HATE being confined.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/least-frumpy#post-1342963 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 01:04:24 +0000 Thistle 1342963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FindingMyWay- they are all from Amazon. I am Prime member, so free shipping and returns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/least-frumpy#post-1342951 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 00:54:23 +0000 Susie 1342951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will be the lone vote for 6! But I also like 1 and 2 a lot if the pattern or color work for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/least-frumpy#post-1342947 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 00:48:24 +0000 Tanya 1342947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all the patterned/colored options: zebra, red snake and animals print.&nbsp; Fun shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/least-frumpy#post-1342942 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 00:45:24 +0000 Angie 1342942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1, 2, 3, and 4 are very workable.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/least-frumpy#post-1342921 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 00:28:31 +0000 FindingMyWay 1342921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think 3 and 7 come the closest to frumpy, but the rest are great. So great, in fact, that I might follow your lead and buy one of these. However, I just searched Zappos and couldn't turn up any pair except #3. Where did you find these? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/least-frumpy#post-1342895 Fri, 29 Aug 2014 23:42:12 +0000 Thistle 1342895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, all of these are available in wide width in my size. It significantly reduces what is available, but swollen feet do not like to be constrained. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/least-frumpy#post-1342891 Fri, 29 Aug 2014 23:39:52 +0000 Sarah A 1342891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>zebra then 2 and 4 get my votes. I think Bella vitas come in a wide option that might be good for swollen feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/least-frumpy#post-1342881 Fri, 29 Aug 2014 23:30:33 +0000 Gigi 1342881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the zebra best. After that, 7. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/least-frumpy#post-1342833 Fri, 29 Aug 2014 22:19:44 +0000 Diana 1342833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Red snake all the way!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/least-frumpy#post-1342825 Fri, 29 Aug 2014 22:09:35 +0000 Mander 1342825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1, 4 and 7 are my favorites. I have a bit of a poison eye for patent, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/least-frumpy#post-1342770 Fri, 29 Aug 2014 21:04:37 +0000 AviaMariah 1342770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #4 would be the most versatile while still being interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/least-frumpy#post-1342769 Fri, 29 Aug 2014 21:03:54 +0000 fern 1342769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Red snake is really fun (they all look comfy and appropriate). Does your maternity wardrobe work with the red? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/least-frumpy#post-1342768 Fri, 29 Aug 2014 21:03:08 +0000 AviaMariah 1342768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The only one I think might possibly look a little frumpy is #7. &nbsp;I like all the others but especially like #1, #2 and #4. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/least-frumpy#post-1342761 Fri, 29 Aug 2014 20:58:34 +0000 Thistle 1342761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, I am in need of some non-sandals. These will be used from early September, once it is too cold to wear sandals, until probably late January or early February. Whenever my feet stop being swollen&nbsp; :)</p> <p></p> <p>I picked up a few sandals at the beginning of the summer and have worn them to death. If they don't fit next year, I will still be happy with my CPW. Looking to do the same with these.</p> <p>My requirements:</p> <p>1. Must be slip-ons. My ability to bend will be compromised for sometime, especially knowing I will be having a c-section</p> <p>2. They must be super comfy</p> <p>3. Heel cannot be much over an inch. Under is preferable</p> <p>4. The soles cannot be slippery. The floors at work are unforgiving, and I don't want to fall.</p> <p>5. As unfrumpy as possible, given that I have requirements that mirror my grandmothers. ;)</p> <p></p> <p>So, here are some that I found:</p> <p>1-3. Trotters. I know this brand is comfy, and hoping the Zebra saves them. Also available in red snake (not sure this is very practical . . . ) and basic black</p> <p>4-5 Bella Vita. Angie has said these are comfy in the past. </p> <p>6-7 Walking cradles. I have heard other Fabbers say how comfy these are.</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p>
