If anyone similarly cursed finds some that fit, let me know.<br />Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-slip-ons-in-my-future#post-1194625 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 15:09:31 +0000 Gin Martini 1194625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought some bright Skechers "Go Walk"&nbsp;slip-ons (see photo below) last year and they were so comfortable that I searched and searched to find a second pair of the same shoe in basic black. &nbsp;I absolutely love them. If you have wider feet and/or bunions like me, the mesh fabric on these is very forgiving. &nbsp;Try Kohl's website and you may catch them on a sale.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-slip-ons-in-my-future#post-1191336 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 03:26:41 +0000 NDMom 1191336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth Ann....you are so funny!

Love the cons outfit in #3! I especially love your jeans. Do you mind sharing the brand? Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-slip-ons-in-my-future#post-1190776 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 19:31:58 +0000 Day Vies 1190776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved slip-ons in my youth. I think somewhere around ages 12-14 I bought a pair every summer in all white and navy with white trim. I loved how easily they went on (love shoes never really liked laces!) and how they seemed to go with everything. Anyway, I haven't bought any in years and have no suggestions on brands. I just know it is impossible for me to wear any unless they have arch support. If they are completely flat my feet will hurt and I'm better off barefoot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-slip-ons-in-my-future#post-1190768 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 19:27:24 +0000 Beth Ann 1190768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carter:&nbsp; You understand what I mean!&nbsp; Your second selection is much like a warmer version of the metallic ones I have in my closet.&nbsp; For summer, I'm thinking getting one more in this "slipper flat" style and another in the sneaker styling -- perhaps a thicker sole with more padding and a deeper toe box, which would be best for walking out of doors.&nbsp; And the boldness --- I think that is a huge part of the "sassy" and "intentional" part of sneaks in general. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-slip-ons-in-my-future#post-1190757 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 19:13:06 +0000 carter 1190757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do think the Target shoes are cute, but I think you're right. They're not bold enough to look intentional. It looks like the shoes are kind of an afterthought. Does that make sense. Your outfits are generally bolder, and each piece looks like it was specifically chosen. Larger polka dots, brighter color, animal print, other high contract color combo, etc. may suit you better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-slip-ons-in-my-future#post-1190600 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 17:00:16 +0000 Beth Ann 1190600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Celia.&nbsp; The Vans are bolder.&nbsp; I wonder, too, if dots just aren't quite me.&nbsp; And I already have a pair of cute "smoking slippers." (See below)&nbsp; These are feminine, but strong, and more refined than sneakers.</p> <p>Susie:&nbsp; Love the term "Freddies!"&nbsp; You may be onto something.&nbsp; I like feminine things, but I don't play well with "cute," because I sense so many others do it far better than I.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-slip-ons-in-my-future#post-1190592 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 16:54:57 +0000 celia 1190592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see, you want them to decide of they are delicate smoker shoes or racing slip-ons.<br />FWIW these are the vans I was talking about :<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.vans.com/catalog/Vans/en_US/style/uc495h.html?vcategoryId=PDPZ1&amp;cm_vc=PDPZ1&amp;cm_sp=IO-_-PDPZ1-_-UC495H">http://shop.vans.com/catalog/V....._sp=IO-_-P</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-slip-ons-in-my-future#post-1190590 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 16:52:55 +0000 Susie 1190590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I call mine Freddie's....short for Fred Flintstone feet They are close to rectangles being on the wide side with short toes.&nbsp;</p> <p>Beth Ann, maybe the dotty shoes are too cute for you?
