Their wedge soles are almost identical to these and perhaps you could find a closed toe style in black that tickles your fancy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-shoes-yn#post-1307239 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 17:44:38 +0000 viva 1307239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Elle:</b> another voice of reason. You are right. I am backing away. On balance, waiting for the right pair of wedges, with a closed toe, in black, makes more sense.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-shoes-yn#post-1307230 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 17:40:57 +0000 ElleH 1307230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you can wear these with black due to the black wedge. I don't know if they are the right shoe though because of other reasons mentioned. You could wear them when you travel but as a minimalist would you get more use out of closed toe? Would you feel better if they were black? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-shoes-yn#post-1307226 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 17:34:56 +0000 viva 1307226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all for chiming in. Still pondering these. And that alone should make me back away from purchasing, but they are Donald J Pliner at a good price, so I can't!!<b></p> <p>Suz</b>, I appreciate your level head about the peep toe. Here's the thing. They're definitely not good for wearing at home (Maine) after October, but work travel will definitely take me to warmer points -- and likely to Texas or Florida or California in November, January, February .... wouldn't these work in those places at those times?</p> <p><b>One800Mom</b>, I hear you -- it does mean pedis in the winter. Bummer. </p> <p><b>Beth</b>, thanks for commenting on them working with my style. I really appreciate that. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-shoes-yn#post-1307218 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 17:29:42 +0000 One800mom 1307218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My teen and 20-something daughters and their friends all wore black (leggings, yoga pants, skirts, dresses) with brown boots last winter. We moms had a poison eye for it at first, but it seems to be quite acceptable, and current in the upper midwest of the USA. I am a HUGE Donald J Pliner footwear fan (super comfortable!), and the only thing keeping these cute wedges in my cart, instead of on their way to me, is the peep toe. And only because I want to slack off on keeping my toes presentable during fall, winter and early spring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-shoes-yn#post-1307162 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 16:27:35 +0000 BethL 1307162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FWIW, I see these as being totally you, Viva. I like the brown/black combo, too. I think it would look great with an all black ensemble and give it an unexpected "zing" or bit of edge. I also think it would be versatile and work with a lot of other things in your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-shoes-yn#post-1307142 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 16:05:33 +0000 jackiec 1307142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are uber cool. If they were black they'd be mine too. I also, however, have a small window of wear for this type of shoe (thus I have none). It gets wet so quickly here that the peep toe/sandal becomes unwearable so quickly. Very edgy and cool looking though... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-shoes-yn#post-1307110 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 15:20:21 +0000 Angie 1307110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I replied in the post, Viva. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-shoes-yn#post-1307097 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 14:55:18 +0000 Suz 1307097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>CF, I think your feet are objectively small for your height! &nbsp;</p> <p>I like these a lot and think they would work with black if intentionally styled (i.e. other browns in outfit) -- but I worry about that peep toe. For me it would mean a short window of wear. I like the look....just not the wearability. Although the wedge does keep you off the ground which helps on damp days. Still, once we get into fall, I like my toes covered.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-shoes-yn#post-1307090 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 14:38:45 +0000 cinnamon fern 1307090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm 5' 4", 125 pounds, size 5 in sandals ... sometimes I convince myself this is a normal size, and then some yoga teacher says "what cute little feet you have"! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-shoes-yn#post-1307025 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 13:16:42 +0000 viva 1307025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cinnamon Fern:<b> are</b> your feet tiny? I have very average size feet, I think. If they made my feet seem slightly smaller it would be fine I think.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-shoes-yn#post-1307013 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 13:06:48 +0000 cinnamon fern 1307013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried these and rejected them because they made my feet look tiny. &nbsp;(I have a thing about my feet being too small for the rest of my body.) &nbsp;I imagine some people will like this aspect of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-shoes-yn#post-1307005 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 12:39:29 +0000 viva 1307005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha Crutcher! I completely get that! I think that after I make my final decisions on boyshorts and these shoes, I have to jump on YLF altogether for a few days so I don't buy anything else. I'm already committed to a no-buy August as it is. </p> <p>Ummilla, you are right that I dress for approachablility, so my attire is really business casual (and even very relaxed denim when interviewing tradesmen). I'm never corporate -- I just don't work in that world. </p> <p>Still mulling over the brown/black thing.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-shoes-yn#post-1306993 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 12:13:23 +0000 crutcher 1306993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do love these shoes...I think these would work with black...Maybe I should just take a peek at these...(Better stop reading your posts...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-shoes-yn#post-1306992 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 12:11:06 +0000 Jaime 1306992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just saw these on Angie's list and pretend bought them if that helps! I am not sure about wearing them with just black, but with black in the mix why not? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-shoes-yn#post-1306990 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 12:10:36 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1306990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not fond of brown and black, unless that's reflected across the whole outfit. I also think the wavy wedges are not that formal for work purposes but perhaps if you're doing qualitative research you want to come off as approachable anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-shoes-yn#post-1306986 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 12:07:00 +0000 viva 1306986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are also one more possibility.</p> <p>I asked Angie for some advice on these shoes, as my work shoe options are really meager. For long days of interviewing or focus groups, wedges would be great. What do you think of these? I know they would work with navy. But black? </p>
