Crutcher, I think you have the right idea. I'm going to return the definite no-go's and consider the NLs and the first pair I posted (the Sol Sana silver and white ones). Try out some stylings, wear around the house to evaluate comfort, etc. </p> <p>It's so funny. I've made so many impulsive shoe purchases, when I just fell in love off the bat. It's not happening this time, and that's ok. I have no lack of shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-travails-of-the-white-sandals#post-1254035 Sat, 17 May 2014 14:43:48 +0000 Ledonna N. 1254035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Count me in for the first pair also.&nbsp; Keep your head up the right white ones will come along if your satisfied with these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-travails-of-the-white-sandals#post-1254030 Sat, 17 May 2014 14:41:04 +0000 crutcher 1254030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the first pair..the white and silver...Of these I like the Nanette<br />LePore...Sorry you are having a difficult time with this...Sometimes in my head, I can get the record stuck like this and I can't seem to make a decision...does that feel right?...Maybe you just need to back away from the white sandals and let the universe send you the perfect pair when you least expect them...smile.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-travails-of-the-white-sandals#post-1253617 Fri, 16 May 2014 23:49:24 +0000 Angie 1253617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I much prefer the Nanette Lepore's from this selection - and the very first pair you tried on with silver trim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-travails-of-the-white-sandals#post-1253600 Fri, 16 May 2014 23:06:02 +0000 annagybe 1253600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've learned the hard way, Alexander Wang shoes are not comfortable.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-travails-of-the-white-sandals#post-1253585 Fri, 16 May 2014 22:48:56 +0000 Caro in Oz 1253585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As you wrote:&nbsp;<i>"By contrast, I wanted to wear those gold Matt Bernsons right off the bat."&nbsp;</i>My advice is keep looking &amp; maybe widen your search, I like rabbit's suggestions&nbsp;:) &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-travails-of-the-white-sandals#post-1253403 Fri, 16 May 2014 18:28:44 +0000 rabbit 1253403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried and tried to find white sneakers or flat sandals I liked, and finally decided that I just didn't like how the white worked against my skin color on my legs. &nbsp; I switched to looking at silvers or&nbsp;&nbsp;light&nbsp;pinks and dark blushes and suddenly it all worked better.</p> <p>I didn't see your first post, but I agree with <b>rachylou </b>that gladiators might work well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-travails-of-the-white-sandals#post-1253386 Fri, 16 May 2014 18:16:35 +0000 Janet 1253386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still have the Rag &amp; Bones and the white &amp; silver Sol Sanas. I haven't totally ruled them out, but I'm being really picky. Something has bugged me about every pair I've tried on! </p> <p>By contrast, I wanted to wear those gold Matt Bernsons right off the bat. I was tempted to wear the Sol Sanas when I first tried them, but photos made me reconsider. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-travails-of-the-white-sandals#post-1253383 Fri, 16 May 2014 18:15:02 +0000 rachylou 1253383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Nanette Lepore a lot. I would have thought first to put you in white gladiators, but these also have a bit of surprise glamour.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-travails-of-the-white-sandals#post-1253379 Fri, 16 May 2014 18:10:28 +0000 Susie 1253379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, did you eliminate the first pair, the white and silver? They were the best to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-travails-of-the-white-sandals#post-1253326 Fri, 16 May 2014 17:02:01 +0000 unfrumped 1253326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is tough. I really like the way the NL's look on your feet overall--maybe they're not as gladiator-tough, but they're very flattering. But, they are a bit roomy in the straps. </p> <p>If you're not desperate maybe should keep looking. Every time I compromise on how the shoe fits to my foot (gapping and gaping and all that), I'm not happy. Also, shoes are dynamic. I watch them while I walk around, sit down, cross legs. That also exposes fit issues. To me the point is, it's not just a shoe, it's a shoe-foot partnership and the whole package needs to look neat and comfortable and like it belongs on your foot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-travails-of-the-white-sandals#post-1253324 Fri, 16 May 2014 16:59:27 +0000 pil 1253324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are the Nanette Lepores more comfortable than the very first pair with the silver strap? I like these, but based strictly on looks prefer that first pair. The Alexander Wangs are pretty awesome but look like too much trouble to navigate :)<br /> You'll find the right pair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-travails-of-the-white-sandals#post-1253322 Fri, 16 May 2014 16:58:25 +0000 kellygirl 1253322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the first white and silver flat from your first post. I think the NL are nice but they do look roomy. The AWs look kind of busy with the ankle wraps. They look like a pain to put on and take off--seems like they would require some adjusting. I can sympathize with you. Your white sandals are kind of like my search for black.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-travails-of-the-white-sandals#post-1253319 Fri, 16 May 2014 16:54:16 +0000 Janet 1253319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pics 1-6 Nannette Lepore flat studded sandals. Comfort not bad for a quick try-on. Not sure how flattering they are. A little roomy on my low-volume feet...again. What do you all think? </p> <p>Pics 7-12 Alexander Wang wrap sandals. I really wanted these to work. Not comfortable at all, fit is a little odd. </p> <p>Perhaps it's just not meant to be with the white sandals. This is now six pairs down. </p>
