The shoes arrived this afternoon, and they have the same fit and heel height as my Cobb Hill ankle boots--the ones I can wear all day and not be uncomfortable. Not walk all over Disney World comfortable, but spend all day at the office with a decent amount of walking comfortable.&nbsp;Definitely well worth the $. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-oxfords#post-1440087 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 01:59:18 +0000 brigid 1440087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My workday sounds similar-I'm not on my feet all day, but do some walking. Hope the Cobb Hiils work out! Excited for your review. </p> <p>Firecracker: Thank you for your helpful info. My feet have gotten fussier also, and the older I get the less willing I am to sacrifice comfort. I'll look into your brand suggestions as well as see how bettycrocker's shoes work out.</p> <p>Great thread and great timing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-oxfords#post-1439679 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 13:09:49 +0000 Anonymous 1439679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone. I'll let you all know how they fit once I get them. I'll want to wear them to the office to get a good idea of how they feel on my feet all day. I don't have a job where I have to be on my feet all day, but I do a decent bit of walking during the typical work day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-oxfords#post-1439607 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 05:48:24 +0000 rizamei 1439607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've also been eyeing these, though my budget is presently being used on other things.&nbsp;I own several other pairs of Cobb Hill shoes and find their heel height and insoles work great for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-oxfords#post-1439590 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 04:45:14 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1439590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>bettycrocker, thanks! I got the gray Borns at Nordstrom on sale. I'm thinking of them as replacements for my Fidji heeled oxfords that I've had for a couple of years. The gray color will work better with more things in my wardrobe </p> <p>Also, which might be of interest to <b>brigid</b>--I have a couple of pairs of Fidji shoes and love the styles, but now that my feet are getting fussier, I don't find them as comfortable as Born or some of the other brands I like (Paul Green, Naot, Pikolinos, Munro, Donald Pliner). And I think Fidjis run smaller than Dansko, in my experience, though it's been a while since I bought Danskos. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-oxfords#post-1439313 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 19:08:08 +0000 brigid 1439313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>bettycrocker:</b> &nbsp;That's what has me hesitant about wearing the Fidji's. &nbsp;I'm not sure if the leather will stretch enough to make my wider forefoot comfortable. &nbsp;The Fidji's are the same size as my Dansko Professionals but do feel shorter in length. &nbsp;Not sure if it's just the difference in the shape of the toebox or if it's relative to the shoe brand.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-oxfords#post-1439224 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 16:19:02 +0000 Anonymous 1439224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, they look lovely and really well made! Glad you ordered them. I know what you mean about lace ups bothering the top of your feet. I have a pair of Korkies lace ups that fit my soles like a glove, so comfy &amp; supportive, but the laces area rubs. I've been putting a small piece of that thin foam that sometimes comes in packaging between my foot and the shoe tongue and that has helped. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-oxfords#post-1439220 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 16:09:12 +0000 Anonymous 1439220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I look forward to trying them. I have trouble with most lace-up shoes, but am hoping these won't bother the tops of my feet. That's really my only concern, as I'm already familiar with the brand and know they're designed for comfort. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-oxfords#post-1439216 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 16:04:12 +0000 puppycat 1439216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice indeed---I had a pair of Clarks that were similar a few years ago and I wore them to death with black trousers for work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-oxfords#post-1439172 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 14:12:01 +0000 Anonymous 1439172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone. I probably should have posted this link from the Cobb Hill website, where it's listed as having a 2-inch heel:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.cobbhillshoes.com/Cobb-Hill-Sheila/CAI11,default,pd.html?gclid=CPbD6v_B0sMCFU8vgQodwzYAvw&amp;dwvar_CAI11_color=Almond&amp;ECID=ps_pl_pl_pr_269688&amp;ef_id=VBjnhgAABA1xSk3Q:20150208140359:s">http://www.cobbhillshoes.com/C.....gQodwzYAvw</a></p> <p>It's the insoles that make this brand so comfortable for my feet, so it is with great hope that I ordered them. They won't get to me right away, though, because I ordered from onlineshoes.com to get at additional 20% off.</p> <p><b>Firecracker</b>, I like you're gray ones, too! Where did you get those?</p> <p><b>Brigid</b>, I developed a Fidji fixation after&nbsp;<b>Carter</b> posted some cool-looking boots a while back. I just don't know if they'll fit my wide feet, If you tell me they fit like Danskos, that will enable me to try that brand, lol. :)</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-oxfords#post-1439167 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 13:36:08 +0000 brigid 1439167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been eyeing those myself! &nbsp;When you have a chance, please let us know if they're comfortable.<br />I love the way heeled oxfords look, and have been searching&nbsp;for a pair that looks&nbsp;comfortable.<br />I just bought these:&nbsp;Fidji Women's L868 Oxford, but haven't tried them out yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-oxfords#post-1439135 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 10:05:28 +0000 Dimity 1439135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! I can't do heels, but if I did, I'd wear these in an instant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-oxfords#post-1439131 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 09:35:47 +0000 Astrid 1439131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely! They look just like mine, beside the heel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-oxfords#post-1439130 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 09:30:01 +0000 shipskitty 1439130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh...those could tempt me out of my no-oxford zone. Nice choice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-oxfords#post-1439127 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 07:47:22 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1439127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them! They look feminine, a little retro. I'm drawn to this style of oxford, too. I recently got a pair that is similar, but with a wedge heel (shown below); I was really after a shoe in this gray color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-oxfords#post-1439097 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 04:19:25 +0000 anne 1439097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh&nbsp; - I love them. In fact, I want them!!&nbsp; Fruitful had some very similar ones at the Melbourne meet-up, worn with a dress, and I thought they looked great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-oxfords#post-1439067 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 03:43:06 +0000 AM 1439067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them too. I'm contemplating a loafer and this really is making my wheels spin. I would do black (because I'm just a black kinda gal). Very nice styling, heal, feminine but with strong line. Great work. I'm putting this image on my inspiration mood board. So yes, I love them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-oxfords#post-1439062 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 03:38:36 +0000 K.M. 1439062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them! I must confess I've been wanting a similar oxford (heeled, with a more delicate toe) for a long long time. Would love to know how they fit once you get to wear them a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-oxfords#post-1439021 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 02:56:14 +0000 Anonymous 1439021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them too but could not do a 2.5 inch heel myself. I hope they work well for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-oxfords#post-1439016 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 02:51:40 +0000 Staysfit 1439016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them. &nbsp;They look comfortable, and I like the heel height. &nbsp;That gives them the feminine look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-oxfords#post-1439013 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 02:49:43 +0000 Anonymous 1439013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What say you YLFers? I like the style of these because they have a more feminine look than many oxfords I've seen. Since I already have a few pairs of shoes and boots in this brand, I feel confident they will fit and feel comfortable. I bought the black pair.</p> <p>Cobb Hill Sheila:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.cobbhillshoes.com/Cobb-Hill-Sheila/CAI11,default,pd.html?gclid=COKPhYPG0sMCFUYjgQodM3sAqw&amp;dwvar_CAI11_color=Almond&amp;ECID=ps_pl_pl_pr_269688&amp;ef_id=VBjnhgAABA1xSk3Q:20150208142159:s">http://www.cobbhillshoes.com/C.....gQodM3sAqw</a></p>
