My store was sold out of them so I didn't see them in person but if I weren't so tied to black, I think I'd actually prefer the white.</p> <p>I haven't had a chance to wear them around the house but things like the grommets rubbing are definitely a concern, so I'll pay attention to that. I had to loosen the laces all the way to fit my high-volume feet, but I think they're ok now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-win-those-converse-wedges#post-1526078 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 23:48:16 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1526078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried them too (in white to be different) and found that the grommets for the laces hit the bony joint of my big toe in a bad spot, but then I have wide feet. Get them if you like them, they're fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-win-those-converse-wedges#post-1526009 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 22:24:53 +0000 Greyscale 1526009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy, do you happen to know if your Nordstrom had them in a 7? I'm pretty sure the 6.5 is good but I am irrationally afraid that the size up might be better. I have enough shoes I've misjudged that I want to be cautious... I didn't actually check if the downtown store had a 7, when I bought these, because I was so sure they were sold out in all sizes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-win-those-converse-wedges#post-1525805 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 15:25:05 +0000 rachylou 1525805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are really good looking.

They're a good buy in my book. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-win-those-converse-wedges#post-1525720 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 13:55:57 +0000 Anonymous 1525720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I think they're really cool! Fun without being in-your-face.<br />Given the good price, I think it's safe to add something trendy to your wardrobe, especially since you have a mostly (entirely?) undate-able wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-win-those-converse-wedges#post-1525635 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 11:58:32 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1525635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I admit, those Chucks have been haunting me, and I wear a 6.5! &nbsp;I can't wait to see how you style them - and I think I may pop in to my local Nordie's and see if they still have them.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-win-those-converse-wedges#post-1525540 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 06:24:29 +0000 CocoLion 1525540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Even though the hidden wedge boot/sneaker has been around for a few seasons there is just something about these that feels updated. &nbsp;The zipper maybe? &nbsp;I hope they do work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-win-those-converse-wedges#post-1524692 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 02:54:38 +0000 Greyscale 1524692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll add some styling photos tomorrow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-win-those-converse-wedges#post-1524561 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 00:36:49 +0000 catgirl 1524561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to see them styled! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-win-those-converse-wedges#post-1524558 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 00:27:44 +0000 Joyce B 1524558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Elle, it's a good idea to test them out at home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-win-those-converse-wedges#post-1524555 Wed, 22 Jul 2015 00:21:13 +0000 Elle 1524555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the style is very cool and, although it's been around a while, won't date quickly.&nbsp; But since you don't usually wear heels, I'd try wearing them for an hour or so around the house to see how your feet feel.&nbsp; Comfort is key.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-win-those-converse-wedges#post-1524522 Tue, 21 Jul 2015 22:52:44 +0000 Angie 1524522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay. The Cons are a top pick, as so is the TS denim shirt. See how you feel after a styling session, and keep us posted on the verdict.&nbsp;</p> <p>I found these very '90s boots quite comfy too:&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-win-those-converse-wedges#post-1524513 Tue, 21 Jul 2015 22:42:25 +0000 viva 1524513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are pretty cool looking wedges that I can see working with your style, but I think a comfort test is a good idea.

They were really uncomfortable on my foot shape. I'm glad they work for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-win-those-converse-wedges#post-1524452 Tue, 21 Jul 2015 21:27:16 +0000 Greyscale 1524452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was out of the country for the beginnings of the NAS, so I wasn't really following along. But a few of your posts caught my eye, so I made a small wish list and went to Nordstrom on my way to work today.</p> <p>The things I wanted to check out (in Finds below):<br />Topshop black denim shirt<br />Dr Marten Emmeline boots<br />Eileen Fisher long vest<br />Converse shroud wedges</p> <p>The boots are nice but I'm not in love. They'd need a lot of breaking in (like classic Docs).&nbsp;The store didn't have the Topshop shirt in my ideal size, but I don't think it would fit regardless. My shoulders are too broad to get the right drape on the shoulder.</p> <p>The EF vest is AMAZING. I'm not a petite, but in EF sometimes those are the right size, and sure enough the petite version fit me perfectly except a little short in the torso. It's lovely and so me... but I can't justify spending that much on&nbsp;a 3rd piece I wouldn't wear often. I wish I had photos because you'd all probably say I should buy it.</p> <p>And then the Converse, which I came home with. The web site said they were sold out everywhere in 6.5, so I was thrilled to see that the floor model was my size! I snapped them up before someone else could.&nbsp;But I can't decide about keeping them. </p> <p>Pros: They are wicked cool. They fit very comfortably. They are quite inexpensive for the wow factor.</p> <p>Cons: I don't wear heels in general. I don't know if my feet are up to it these days (but they did feel quite comfortable). I've never been sold on the hoof-like black wedge look, and wedge sneakers have been around long enough that they might be on their way out, and these are exactly the sort of fun gimmicky item that might look very dated in a while. Also, because of my instep, I can't zip them up all the way, but I actually prefer the layered look that creates.</p> <p>But they're SO COOL. I really don't know. I'll go home and style them.</p> <p>To complicate it, I found that Converse makes a flat version too:&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.converse.com/regular/chuck-taylor-all-star-shroud/549719C_050.html">http://www.converse.com/regula.....C_050.html</a><br />but somehow they just don't have nearly the same impact. </p>
