It's not the mismatch, it's that one bigger spot.&nbsp; But I feel like I might be slightly insane, so go with your gut feeling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mismatched-shoes-would-this-make-you-nuts#post-1684418 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 00:39:13 +0000 Anna 1684418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had to get mine out and check. Yep, mine are mismatched too. I just never noticed before. I think if they matched perfectly they would look fake. And most people probably wouldn't notice unless you called their attention to it. They look fine to me. But now I want a more pointed pair like yours! Oh well, add them to the list. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mismatched-shoes-would-this-make-you-nuts#post-1684411 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 00:06:58 +0000 MrsK 1684411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great to me! If you look at one at a time and compare, you obviously see the difference, but as a pair, they look very natural. I vote keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mismatched-shoes-would-this-make-you-nuts#post-1684398 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 23:39:04 +0000 jill58 1684398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep them.

Period. 1684283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sensitive to mismatched animal patterns, but only when they look very mismatched versus just having natural variety. &nbsp;When I looked at the thumbnail, I thought, "no go." But when I looked at them full size (like a person in real life would!), they look great. &nbsp;Definitely a keeper. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mismatched-shoes-would-this-make-you-nuts#post-1684282 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 19:24:18 +0000 Anonymous 1684282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Zibbits.&nbsp; In this case mismatched seems more authentic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mismatched-shoes-would-this-make-you-nuts#post-1684279 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 19:18:02 +0000 Inge 1684279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on the not bothered at all team </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mismatched-shoes-would-this-make-you-nuts#post-1684237 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 18:06:51 +0000 Anonymous 1684237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Zibbets - in fact the matching would make them look "fake" if you know what I mean..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mismatched-shoes-would-this-make-you-nuts#post-1684232 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 17:57:19 +0000 Zibbets 1684232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely not.

It makes the product more realistic looking.&nbsp; If they looked exactly the same no one would buy them because they would look to machine made fake. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mismatched-shoes-would-this-make-you-nuts#post-1684219 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 17:36:40 +0000 Anonymous 1684219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't notice even after you mentioned it.

Actually, it has given me pause on two pairs of shoes that I own. But once I've worn them for a while I don't notice it anymore as the overall look is harmonious.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mismatched-shoes-would-this-make-you-nuts#post-1684201 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 17:14:42 +0000 kkards 1684201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hmmmm.honestly I'm not sure i would have noticed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mismatched-shoes-would-this-make-you-nuts#post-1684198 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 17:09:30 +0000 Beth 1684198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad to hear what you all think. The direction of the print doesn't bug me as much as the dark spots that are running together on the left shoe.</p> <p>It's one of those things that once I get over it I'll probably not think about it again. But I might. LOL</p> <p>Joyce, thanks so much for your input on the quality of the calf hair. I'm pretty easy on my shoes but if you had issues before you even left the house...hmm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mismatched-shoes-would-this-make-you-nuts#post-1684167 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 16:22:38 +0000 Maneera 1684167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't see anything 'off'. I don't think I've seen leopard shoes that match exactly! This looks more 'natural' to me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mismatched-shoes-would-this-make-you-nuts#post-1684166 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 16:20:20 +0000 Ivy 1684166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the difference makes them more intriguing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mismatched-shoes-would-this-make-you-nuts#post-1684150 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 16:05:45 +0000 rachylou 1684150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree that leopard shouldn't match... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mismatched-shoes-would-this-make-you-nuts#post-1684141 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 15:57:15 +0000 Joyce B 1684141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It would not bother most people. It would generally bother me that the direction of the print is different on each shoe but the spots are similarly sized so that part is OK.<br /> What you are asking is very individual and really depends on how you feel.<br /> I had purchased the same style of Ivanka flats, a HEWI for me, too. I wore them only at home for a bit and then I noticed that the hair on the tips of the shoes peeled off without even having worn them outside. That did it for me and I returned them, the SA at Nordstrom's took them back without any problem. Only at Nordstrom's they treat you so well, that's why they get most of my fashion budget.<br /> I hope you have better luck with your shoes. They are very pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mismatched-shoes-would-this-make-you-nuts#post-1684134 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 15:49:08 +0000 Diana 1684134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Ginkgo. Much better unmatched.&nbsp; Now if the colors didn't match that would be another story. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mismatched-shoes-would-this-make-you-nuts#post-1684133 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 15:47:25 +0000 Angela K 1684133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops! double posted.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mismatched-shoes-would-this-make-you-nuts#post-1684132 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 15:45:40 +0000 Linda 1684132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They would probably make me nuts if I wore them, but I don't think that I'd notice the mismatch if someone else was wearing them.&nbsp; I can be a little neurotic, so keep that in mind!&nbsp; If you think that they'd bother you, I'd return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mismatched-shoes-would-this-make-you-nuts#post-1684131 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 15:39:14 +0000 Angela K 1684131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pattern difference doesn't bother me at all--I love the shoes and they look great on you.&nbsp; BUT--if you are questioning pattern difference, you probably won't be happy with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mismatched-shoes-would-this-make-you-nuts#post-1684130 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 15:38:21 +0000 Ginkgo 1684130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Much better unmatched! If they matched they would look very machine-fabricated fake. The spots are about the same size also, so the difference between the two shoes does not jump out at me, I would never have noticed that the patterns were different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mismatched-shoes-would-this-make-you-nuts#post-1684126 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 15:34:45 +0000 Beth 1684126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...or is it just me?</p> <p>I've finally found a pair of leopard flats I like. They're nearly sold out everywhere and I had to stalk this size on the Nordstrom site until they popped up again.</p> <p>But. The pattern doesn't exactly match. Realizing they don't need to be perfectly matched, I can't decide if the mismatch is OK and it's just me being needlessly neurotic, or if they really look off. If they were still in stock, I'd exchange them for a different pair. But they're not. So it's either deal with the mismatch or it's off to the drawing board again.</p> <p>So...nuts (they're fine) or not (yeaaaah the pattern is a problem)?</p> <p> </p>
