Your legs do not look stout :-).<br /> I think the Eccos look fine too. They don't photograph that well with the light coloured heel, but if the red works in your wardrobe then they are keepers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-sandals-2#post-937882 Tue, 21 May 2013 10:58:28 +0000 krishnidoux 937882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you for your assessment, ladies! So far I am leaning towards keeping them both...&nbsp;<br /><br />But this week is set to be rainy, luckily for me as it gives me less temptation to wear a pair outside,&nbsp;ruling&nbsp;out the possibility of returning it. In other words, I have more time to decide.&nbsp;<br /><br />Shannon, knowing your exceptional taste for shoes, and your to-die-for collection,&nbsp;this comment means a lot to me! You also understand the priority on comfort. It tends to reduce the choices a little.<br /><br />Thistle: &nbsp;What bothers you exactly in the heel? &nbsp;It it that they are a different colour?&nbsp;<br />The other option in this style was all black:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.iinfodaily.com/ecco-womens-sculptured-65-leather-sandals-black-p-345/?language=en">http://www.iinfodaily.com/ecco.....anguage=en</a><br />As you can see the heel is also black. But I really didn't like the black sandal look on my foot, and I already have a black pair. There was a different model in mint&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://calamel.jp/go/item/56446967">http://calamel.jp/go/item/56446967</a>&nbsp;which unfortunately did not agree with my super white skin, and still has the white heel, or mahogany with a black heel&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.englinsfinefootwear.com/ecco-womens-sculptured-65-t-strap-mahogany/">http://www.englinsfinefootwear.....-mahogany/</a>, which I was trying to steer away from. But maybe I was wrong?<br /><br />It's true that I am settling for something quite different than what I had originally been seeking. But there are so many factors in the way... it pains me to know that my fashion choices, some of them at least, are dictated by where I live and what shoe store owners order. But the alternative is going&nbsp;up scale&nbsp;and paying more than $200 per pair, which, at this point, I refuse.&nbsp;<br /><br />Suz, thank you for the info on the Ecco ones. The SA also pointed out that they were truly 8 hr shoes, which for me seals the deal. About the SE: maybe later in the summer but my hopes are low that they would have my size... and even on sale, I am still too chicken to order blindly without having tried it on, considering the difficult and costly return.<br /><br />Caro what is it you don't like about the second one? It would be useful to know, as not everybody likes them. Is it the heel too?<br /><br />Lyn, Irene, thank you for the boost!<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-sandals-2#post-937856 Tue, 21 May 2013 08:34:51 +0000 Irene 937856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like both. They have different vibes and both look great on you, no stouty legs or anything<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-sandals-2#post-937845 Tue, 21 May 2013 07:29:54 +0000 lyn67 937845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Both look fab Krish! Pls keep! Love your dresses!!:-) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-sandals-2#post-937787 Tue, 21 May 2013 04:54:54 +0000 Caro in Oz 937787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love the first ones not so sure about the second ones. You look great in a knee length dress https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-sandals-2#post-937689 Tue, 21 May 2013 01:57:22 +0000 Suz 937689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ ETA: I am still hoping you will find something in the budget for the SE ones, too, when they go on sale at Amazon. In the meantime, try on other SE styles to see how they fit you (or not).&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-sandals-2#post-937688 Tue, 21 May 2013 01:56:31 +0000 Suz 937688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ OMG, the first ones are fantastic!!! LOVE!! Those are so much fun. I would wear them to death, I think.&nbsp;<br /><br />I also like the Eccos a lot and I think you should keep. I know someone who has that pair and said they were super, super comfortable. And my hairdresser has a similar pair from last year. She wears them for work, standing on a hard floor for more than 8 hours at a stretch.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-sandals-2#post-937687 Tue, 21 May 2013 01:55:33 +0000 Thistle 937687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the Ara a lot. Gorgeous and fabulous! </p> <p>I love Ecco shoes for comfort. How do you feel about the heel? Those would be deep breakers for me. I am also concerned you are settling for these as you stated you were looking for Sam Edelman looking ones, and these are not. Know when I settle, i keep looking for the original! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-sandals-2#post-937683 Tue, 21 May 2013 01:50:39 +0000 Transcona Shannon 937683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love BOTH pairs Krish! and I think both are stylish and will work with your wardrobe really well. The fact that they are so comfortable as well is super important and a major bonus. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-sandals-2#post-937680 Tue, 21 May 2013 01:48:20 +0000 krishnidoux 937680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Please give me your honest opinion!<br /><br />After my online frustration, I went to a brick and mortar store and got myself not just one... but two new pairs of sandals. Furious reaction I guess.&nbsp;&nbsp;My footwear budget for the whole summer! But it must be said that stores here order a certain number of items at the beginning of the season and then don't re-order, so the longer one waits, the less choice there is. Usually nothing left by June.&nbsp;I am actually&nbsp;&nbsp;lucky that they had these styles in my size still. Please tell me what you think of those. I haven't worn them outside yet and could still return them.<br /><br />Pics 1-3: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://http://www.orvadirect.com/Product.aspx?l=00010003000000000000&amp;p=ARA01241">Ara Brogan Sandal</a><br />These feel so wonderful. Front patent white leather gives it a lot of chic.&nbsp;However the heel is not as delicate as what I had in mind. I am afraid it makes my leg look stout. And... is it in style?<br /><br />Pics 4-5: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ECCO-Womens-Sculptured-65-Strappy-Sandals-Brick-Red-Leather-237023-02065-/171009928290?pt=US_Women_s_Shoes&amp;var=&amp;hash=item27d0fc6c62">Ecco sandals</a><br />Also very, very comfortable. They are light and the heel is shock absorbing, easily making it an 8 hr shoe, which is something I am always looking for. However, again, the cut is not like what I had in mind (I was looking for <a rel="nofollow" href="http://http://www.revolveclothing.com/DisplayProduct.jsp?product=SAME-WZ285&amp;c=Sam+Edelman&amp;d=Shoes">Sam Edelman</a> types). But they do go with a lot of clothes in my closet.&nbsp;
