I find my self enjoying a leopard print too. And that N &amp; Z sweater looks really cute. I have battled needing a 10 1/2 throughout the years, and it can be frustrating. It does surprise me considering that a size 9 is the average women's shoe size that there aren't more in existence.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-and-problem-shoes#post-2331868 Sun, 23 Jul 2023 20:43:51 +0000 MsMaven 2331868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Donna&nbsp;</b>here are the Vionic insoles. Normally I would expect them to be more comfortable.&nbsp;</p> <p>Compared to the Vivaia (finally got spelling right) and you can see I need to trim the toe a little.&nbsp;</p> <p>The Vivaia on my feet--size 11, just so you can see the color and they will work with my clothes.&nbsp;</p> <p>The new gel Vionic insoles from Zappos coming tomorrow. I've never tried this version.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-and-problem-shoes#post-2331820 Sun, 23 Jul 2023 17:22:06 +0000 DonnaF 2331820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would you take a pic and post your Vionic insoles?

WOW!! </p> <p>*HAPPY DANCE*</p> <p>Well done! That is clever shoe doctoring. Impressed </p> <p>Those Vionics are quite heavenly on the feet, aren’t they. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-and-problem-shoes#post-2331750 Sat, 22 Jul 2023 22:38:56 +0000 MsMaven 2331750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie--the Paul Green's are tempting. The best and last pair of heels I had were Paul Green.</p> <p>So I played musical insoles. I had a spare pair of OrthoFeet insoles and these work! Comfy and my feet are happy.&nbsp;</p> <p>A couple of weeks ago, after advice from several people, I tried a pair of Vavaia. Too big so got a 10 1/2, better but still not right. Today I put in the Vionic insoles and, they work! Tried them in last year's Munro's that never were quite right, and they fit very well! So I ordered 2 more pairs of Vionic insoles from Zappos.&nbsp;</p> <p>Happy feet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-and-problem-shoes#post-2331745 Sat, 22 Jul 2023 22:09:58 +0000 Angie 2331745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW! What a GREAT NAS you had! Everything looks fabulous and bet smashing on you, <b>MsMaven </b>:)</p> <p>Blast! I wish they did a 10.5 in those loafers - that seems like the right size. Best to send the 11's back.&nbsp;</p> <p>These were good too, and ran a little smaller than the Vionics, They have an 11, which might work in the style. If you like any of them, of cousre. Otherwise we can look elsewhere to find you shoes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-and-problem-shoes#post-2331738 Sat, 22 Jul 2023 21:02:46 +0000 MsMaven 2331738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Enervating heat has me feeling like a blob, so no try-on photos yet except shoes.&nbsp;</p> <p>I haven't had joggers since what? 70s? 80s? (Memories of sweatsuit "suit" outfits not good.) I decided to try the Zella joggers in a kind of blue gray (color not shown on site now). I love them! They are long enough, slim enough and fit me well. They are a lightweight fabric that feels good on my legs.</p> <p>Of course I found an N+Z top I like--I'm buying lots of coral this year. </p> <p>I bought my yearly Paige jeans in my usual 29. They are snug in waist, but my experience is they will stretch. I've had bad luck with going up a size and then later they slide off my hips. Too long, but I'll get them hemmed. Going to wait a week to decide. </p> <p>Kate Spade patterned belt. Wasn't sure, but the pattern blends in and I love it! Reversible to black. M fits well around my expanded waistline.&nbsp;</p> <p>AllSaints leopard scarf. Love this! Label says "Do not Wash--Dry Clean only." Huh? The website says "Machine Wash, Dry Flat." (I usually don't have to wash scarves very often.)</p> <p>Kate Spade earrings--again love them. Heavy, but I won't be wearing them that often. For dress up.</p> <p>Vince Camuto Leopard print shirt. I saw something similar on Susan B. at Une Femme, but they were out of it in the leopard and I wasn't sure of the print anyway. Found this, waiting for it to arrive. Yes, I have a love for animal prints in smaller items.&nbsp;</p> <p>Vionic loafers in animal print. I've worn Vionic for years in slides and sandals, and last year bought sneakers. Usual size 11 is a little big, checked and next size down is 10, not 10 1/2. 10 won't work. I have bunions and the shoes fit over the ball of my foot, smaller wouldn't work. But they are too big in the heel. I've tried pads, heel liner pads (not glued in yet) and am ready to try with different insoles. I love these, will try again. Also tried with socks and maybe should try with different texture. Heel liner pad makes left ok, but right still too big.</p> <p>Anyone have ideas on how to make a heel liner a little thicker, or a different brand that might work? I really need a nice pair of shoes to wear with pants in fall and winter. So far all I have is sneakers and slip on sneakers. First photo I hadn't taken off paper over strap.&nbsp;</p> <p>I bought my usual Chantelle undies and bras. That brings up another interesting situation for a different post. </p>
