The oxfords look awesome too. Can't wait to see them on you!</p> <p>I've also been very pleased with Solestruck (ordering online).

Beautitul - I want them! I really like clogs and clog-like shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-uwp-challenge-closed-toe-summer-shoes#post-824293 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 02:36:38 +0000 annagybe 824293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've bought from the Solestruck boutique in Portland, and also phone ordered. They have great service. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-uwp-challenge-closed-toe-summer-shoes#post-824290 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 02:34:06 +0000 rae 824290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, Anna, I ordered both of those since return shipping is only like $5. I will have a mighty shoe-off in a few days! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-uwp-challenge-closed-toe-summer-shoes#post-824274 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 02:17:18 +0000 annagybe 824274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My vote is for the Miistas, either the blue ombre or the galaxy oxfords. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-uwp-challenge-closed-toe-summer-shoes#post-824269 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 02:08:42 +0000 rae 824269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isabel and Cathy, I had another thread involving summer booties, but it seemed like everything was a duplicate of stuff I already have. </p> <p>The Miistas are cute; I didn't know Solestruck had them! I worry about the amount of ankle gape in the Kia style from the pics I see. Although I could still try them. Pink? Blue? I wish I could try the Galaxy oxfords in store someplace, just in case they don't look like clown shoes on my big feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-uwp-challenge-closed-toe-summer-shoes#post-824209 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 00:19:02 +0000 CocoLion 824209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #3 and #4. #3 looks like a great work shoe, assuming they are comfortable. The wood heel on a clog is way more chic than the plastic heel, you are right, like Hasbeens. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-uwp-challenge-closed-toe-summer-shoes#post-824204 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 23:45:09 +0000 cciele 824204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also vote for summer booties or boots. Love these Miistas:<br /> <a href="http://www.solestruck.com/miista-kia-turquoise-white-ombre/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.solestruck.com/miis.....index.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-uwp-challenge-closed-toe-summer-shoes#post-824202 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 23:37:26 +0000 Isabel 824202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do like the idea of "summer booties " . You should be double sure before putting money into the open toe, that you can wear it at work. I really like the first pair and can totally see it with your outfits. ( The truth is that this isn't "just" retail, this is a career in which you want to stand out....and show your creativity. )</p> <p>With that said, the most comfortable brands for me are Clark's and Born. I sometimes walk the dog in those brands. I love Fidji too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-uwp-challenge-closed-toe-summer-shoes#post-824192 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 23:22:27 +0000 Nadya 824192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I suspect these are more Urban Prince than UWP, but FWIW I just ordered these:<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/jeffrey-campbell-logan-oxford/3390648?origin=PredictiveSearch&#038;contextualcategoryid=60140510&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=0" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/je.....sultback=0</a></p> <p>I bought a pair of Jeffrey Campbell slingbacks last year and they were wonderfully comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-uwp-challenge-closed-toe-summer-shoes#post-824166 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 22:23:26 +0000 Anonymous 824166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Danskos for you as well. The others are fun but I am chicken scared of flatforms and the first ones would get ruined fast. Any rain, or even sweat would ruin them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-uwp-challenge-closed-toe-summer-shoes#post-824071 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 18:40:23 +0000 bj1111 824071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love 1,5,6...5 may be doable on the floor. 6 may be too high, even if the perceived height is liwer due to the platform. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-uwp-challenge-closed-toe-summer-shoes#post-824064 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 18:08:20 +0000 goldenpig 824064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the cobalt Danskos in #3. Second choice is #4. I kind of worry about you twisting your ankle in #5/6--those look so high and tippy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-uwp-challenge-closed-toe-summer-shoes#post-824054 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 17:49:33 +0000 Tina.b 824054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the Danskos too. I think spring/summer will give you more of a chance to explore the princess side of the UWP formula, but will mesh really well with your look. I can see you in a wedge sneaker, a trendy loafer, a studded slipper flat. Some brands that come to mind when I think of your style, Alexander Wang, Loeffler Randall, See by Chloe, Rag and Bone. These might give you some inspiration. I look forward to seeing more of your choices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-uwp-challenge-closed-toe-summer-shoes#post-824023 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 16:48:45 +0000 rae 824023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I looked at my dress code hand book AND the online handbook, and they say different things: 1) "shoes should be closed-toe" or 2) "Open-toe shoes are appropriate in career styles such as slingbacks".</p> <p>So far as I can tell, this means no gladiators or open-toed boots... and honestly I've yet to meet a pair of those that I like, anyway. Grecian/Spartan is SO not my particular brand of warrior for whatever reason. I usually end up in fisherman sandals, boat shoes, and huaraches. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-uwp-challenge-closed-toe-summer-shoes#post-824018 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 16:46:37 +0000 Anonymous 824018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh sandal bootie -- thanks for that search term Angie! I didn't know how to describe those, I know what they look like but not what they were called. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-uwp-challenge-closed-toe-summer-shoes#post-824004 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 16:12:17 +0000 Mellllls 824004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>just a question as to whether #3 would be acceptable for work in retail? when i worked in retail we were required to have both closed heel and closed toe. so i would just check on that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-uwp-challenge-closed-toe-summer-shoes#post-824002 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 16:11:37 +0000 ManidipaM 824002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another fan of the purple Danskos. I love the shape of the heel and the studs on them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-uwp-challenge-closed-toe-summer-shoes#post-823998 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 16:08:55 +0000 Desmo April 823998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Danskos. I'm planning on them for this spring.</p> <p>I only wear closed-toe shoes and a different version of those in black have been my go-to summer shoe for two years now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-uwp-challenge-closed-toe-summer-shoes#post-823993 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 16:04:13 +0000 Angie 823993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #3 and #4 best. </p> <p>I'm thinking sandal booties too. And gladiators.</p> <p>Btw, I have lots of clients in Danko sandals. Have you tried them? They might be too wide for your foot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-uwp-challenge-closed-toe-summer-shoes#post-823976 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 15:29:33 +0000 JulieJohn 823976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a pair of cork-soled sandals one summer and they were so lightweight, it was a like walking on a cloud! I like all the choices, they are head turners. I am in the same boat as you and Mo. I want to look dressy but my feet require a lot of TLC. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-uwp-challenge-closed-toe-summer-shoes#post-823956 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 14:39:00 +0000 Thistle 823956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the cobalt blue Danskos, and I can attest to their comfort. I bought a pair in my third trimester, and they were the only shoes my swollen feet and aching back would per it!</p> <p>I also really like #4. That cork footbed should mold to your feet and be super comfy while still being fun.</p> <p>Not sure either are UWP though. Maybe that's fine for work in the summer though, especially with how long you are on your feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-uwp-challenge-closed-toe-summer-shoes#post-823954 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 14:36:44 +0000 Diana 823954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Danskos! I was actually considering buying them myself last summer but decided that I would rather have something I could wear footies with (but I have super fussy toes that really don't like closed toe shoes w/o socks so you might be fine.)</p> <p>I like #6 a lot too - hope it is comfy! </p> <p>I'm also surprising myself by liking 1/2 as well. From the description (raffia neutral sneakers) I thought I'd hate them. But they are cool looking! I'm not super sure they'd go with your wardrobe though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-uwp-challenge-closed-toe-summer-shoes#post-823947 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 14:29:38 +0000 Susie 823947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Danskos too. Have you had that brand to know if it works for you? I definitely prefer the cobalt over a neutral. I love #6. What brand is that one? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-uwp-challenge-closed-toe-summer-shoes#post-823932 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 14:16:59 +0000 moira 823932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love those cobalt shoes as well. They are fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-uwp-challenge-closed-toe-summer-shoes#post-823894 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 11:58:34 +0000 Irene 823894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, maybe I'm crazy here but I love the cobalt blue shoes. I didn't even think of Comfort Shoes. I find them very retro and 70s like, but I'm not sure you want to go there.</p> <p>Number 1 is cute but I'm not sure is *you* either.</p> <p>#4 and #6 are more 'Raesque'. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-uwp-challenge-closed-toe-summer-shoes#post-823889 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 10:59:17 +0000 Mirp 823889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that first shoe. Wonder if it is comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-own-uwp-challenge-closed-toe-summer-shoes#post-823869 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 06:58:22 +0000 Mo 823869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No answers, just commiseration. Many a year I have struggled with what to pair shorts or skirts with at work and not look ridiculous in tennies . . . </p>
