In the shop, I took into account the sole, but I obviously needed a reminder!<br /> Sisi, yes the softness of the band was indeed a secondary consideration</p> <p>I will wear them around the house Tanya, (which isn't carpeted, to Janet's point)</p> <p>Jaileen, with Velcro, when it is a spot fastening like this, rather than a long strap (which I have in my everyday office shoes) I find that it wears out. I wear my shoes hard, and want this to last two summers of frequent wearing, so I went for longevity.<br /> Incidentally the Bambi link goes to a different colour than I got. Mine has a leopard strap </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-shoes-22#post-2286198 Fri, 14 Oct 2022 20:16:39 +0000 JAileen 2286198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of the two, I prefer the first pair. &nbsp;I think they’ll look great with your hair color. &nbsp;Not sure why you don’t like velcro. &nbsp;I was wearing my navy Naot Kayla sandals this morning and they have velcro. &nbsp;Probably half of my sandals have Velcro.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-shoes-22#post-2286171 Fri, 14 Oct 2022 17:28:17 +0000 Janet 2286171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like the pair you chose, and agree with Tanya about trying them on around the house, but I would amend the advice — make sure you test them on wood or other hard floor surfaces. Walking on carpet can give you a false impression of more cushioning and comfort. I got that advice from a SA a couple of years ago and she was so right! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-shoes-22#post-2286122 Fri, 14 Oct 2022 14:38:12 +0000 Sisi 2286122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the Bambis and I have a feeling that they are more comfortable than the others. The placement of the ankle strap, the band that looks softer ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-shoes-22#post-2286120 Fri, 14 Oct 2022 14:30:24 +0000 Angie 2286120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Visually, I prefer the ones you bought too. More versatile!&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't know how to advise you on the heel height, other than to do what <b>Tanya</b>&nbsp;suggested, and HOPE they work out in real life!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-shoes-22#post-2286109 Fri, 14 Oct 2022 13:55:52 +0000 Tanya 2286109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the ones you bought much better than the other pair.&nbsp; Considering that they have a wedge and a platform, in my experience, such shoes feel like the they are lower than they are and are usually pretty comfy.&nbsp; &nbsp;I would wear them a little around the apartment on the carpet to make sure there are no comfort issues. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-shoes-22#post-2286106 Fri, 14 Oct 2022 13:45:46 +0000 Star (Lise) 2286106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are stunning!&nbsp; Good choice.&nbsp; Will be versatile too.&nbsp; Although the heel is 6.5cm in reality it is not because of the platform.&nbsp; Minus the cm of the platform in front to get the real height.&nbsp; The platform will provide stability so I don't foresee any problem in that regard.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-shoes-22#post-2286104 Fri, 14 Oct 2022 13:43:35 +0000 anne 2286104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>New everyday sandals were a wardrobe hole for me, as my old pair had got perilously loose. I bought these <a href="https://www.paulcarroll.com.au/women/shop-all-womens/bambi-pc104206?nav=5878" rel="nofollow">https://www.paulcarroll.com.au.....6?nav=5878</a> in the leopard colour.<br /> Close runner up were these<br /> <a href="https://www.paulcarroll.com.au/women/shop-all-womens/hartley-pc104819?nav=5878" rel="nofollow">https://www.paulcarroll.com.au.....9?nav=5878</a> but I wasn't keen on the Velcro.</p> <p>The Bambis have a 6.5cm heel, the Hartleys a 4cm. Worrying a bit that 6.5 is too high for, eg, grocery shopping.</p> <p>Thoughts? I am in the return window. </p>
