Your white sandals will come along now that you've released the not-quite-right ones.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-about-replacement-white-sandals%e2%80%a6/page/2#post-2400690 Fri, 12 Dec 2025 03:12:52 +0000 Jenni NZ 2400690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie! It is a long sandal season, often November to March inclusive so 5 months. Today I am wearing the sparkly red ones though- photo on our downstairs red, black, white and grey rug xx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-about-replacement-white-sandals%e2%80%a6/page/2#post-2400672 Thu, 11 Dec 2025 22:44:48 +0000 Angie 2400672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you went with your gut instincts, <b>Jenni</b>!&nbsp;</p> <p>I suspect you'll miss white sandals. Your sandal season is long, after all! You can absolutely make do with your floral sneakers until you find just the right pair ;)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-about-replacement-white-sandals%e2%80%a6/page/2#post-2400663 Thu, 11 Dec 2025 18:55:01 +0000 Jenni NZ 2400663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Suz. They are being collected by the courier today. I wonder if I will still want some when I have gone another few weeks without any. I have silver but they are too dressy for casual wear and otherwise only have colours. But I agree that sometimes making do with something else can cause a mild style evolution! It will be interesting to see. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-about-replacement-white-sandals%e2%80%a6/page/2#post-2400640 Thu, 11 Dec 2025 05:47:19 +0000 Suz 2400640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good decision, <b>Jenni.</b> They just were not "you" enough and no reason to buy if they are not needed and not what you're truly wishing for. Sometimes when this has happened to me, another colour of neutral has somehow taken the place of the most beloved or sought-after colour and it has led to a style evolution of sorts. And then eventually I have found the HEWI and was glad I waited. Though sometimes it can take a while! Anyway, you will feel better at not spending on something that doesn't please you 100%, despite the returns issues.&nbsp;</p> <p>With returns here...yes, sometimes there are long flights (also for online deliveries, for that matter.) This is why I like to make in-person returns when I can (even if I ordered online). But increasingly this has become difficult because all the B&amp;M stores are closing. But returns to some of the places I shop at most stay within the province, which is not as bad.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-about-replacement-white-sandals%e2%80%a6/page/2#post-2400618 Wed, 10 Dec 2025 23:06:40 +0000 Jenni NZ 2400618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I have taken some time to decide. Because I was already going to return the Rollies green sandals but keep the pretty blue pointy shoes, it made no difference convenience wise either way. I have said before that I feel bad about returns to Styletread because it involves a 3-hour flight across the Tasman Sea from NZ to Australia. I guess in the US or Canada your countries are so large 3-hour flights for returns might happen anyway?<br /> I did try to get the second pair Brooklyn suggested instead, the Easy Steps brand, but my size EU36 was sold out on both The Iconic and ShoeHQ. I also tried on some local white leather pairs but not quite right and still over $200. I waited a while as I did quite like these despite the sucking sound which seemed to be improving walking around the house on carpet, but ultimately found I didn’t want to put them on style-wise as felt too chunky for me somehow.<br /> When I have wanted to put white sandals on, at the moment I am putting on my dainty white sneakers with tiny flowers on instead. I can wear those in summer without socks.<br /> So the white sandal hunt is now being deferred until after Christmas. Or even after summer, in time for the following year. Thank you all for your help. Thanks especially to Brooklyn and to Janet who suggested a couple of US brands Sorel and Seychelles which I also looked up and indeed they did have similar styles, but none in my size on DSW or Zappos at the moment. I also prefer not to ship from the USA! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-about-replacement-white-sandals%e2%80%a6/page/2#post-2399471 Sun, 23 Nov 2025 00:50:48 +0000 Lisa 2399471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty sandal but I'm with others that the noise factor makes them a no for me. But now you know what to look for! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-about-replacement-white-sandals%e2%80%a6#post-2399397 Fri, 21 Nov 2025 19:41:53 +0000 JAileen 2399397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While I do have water sandals that are synthetic, for regular sandals I prefer leather. &nbsp;Fake leather can be slippery when my feet are hot and sweaty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-about-replacement-white-sandals%e2%80%a6#post-2399342 Fri, 21 Nov 2025 14:04:44 +0000 Carol 2399342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are a very good&nbsp; look, especially with the pedicure. But as for the sound, here is my experience:</p> <p>at my last job, my coworkers said they could always tell it was me coming up the stairs, because my feet made a shuffling sound. I finally realized some of my shoes were the wrong size. Not saying that is the case here, but I would notice how obvious the sound is...in case people start calling that your "signature" walk.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-about-replacement-white-sandals%e2%80%a6#post-2399321 Fri, 21 Nov 2025 11:54:27 +0000 lyn67 2399321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look so great on your feet, Jenni-and am so envious on your pretty summer pedicure as I don't do my nails in winter! <br />Love this&nbsp; minimal clean updated to more sporty style and a substantial sole never hurts (if stable enough!) to give some more aditional height without the need to wear heels. <br />Thus I don't see your older ones's&nbsp; soles to compare with that - do they have some heels-but the new ones are completely other vibe-and perhaps you are ready to leave the daintier but more maximal style of the older ones behind. I'm sure it will freshen up older outfits but you'll have to try with these actually to&nbsp; see how you feel. <br />I don't&nbsp; think beeing synthetic is such a big problem and perhaps is a good strategy not wanting to invest&nbsp; in a new untried style more than the price you got them -but they shouldn't be noisy....&nbsp; </p> <p>And, we want to see your other new pairs you ordered, too!:-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-about-replacement-white-sandals%e2%80%a6#post-2399314 Fri, 21 Nov 2025 06:29:19 +0000 Star (Lise) 2399314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Olive sandals are something I would fancy.&nbsp; Next summer...&nbsp; &nbsp;Do show us yours.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-about-replacement-white-sandals%e2%80%a6#post-2399310 Fri, 21 Nov 2025 05:35:49 +0000 Jenni NZ 2399310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m still thinking, and I have made a decision on the olive sandals in the same order. I am returning those as while searching again locally I found some on a website which are prettier and fit better and cheaper! I could do a separate thread about them. I checked in the local store, they had to get them in my size from another store and they arrived today. Both olive pairs are leather, but flat and the ones I have chosen have a slightly beachy vibe but also pretty and accomplish that dress-up-or-down vibe that I enjoy.<br /> I am liking these white ones more as I try them around the house, the sucking sound is improving I think. Have not fully decided but liking them more and more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-about-replacement-white-sandals%e2%80%a6#post-2399298 Thu, 20 Nov 2025 23:24:08 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2399298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You seem a bit on the fence. I feel torn also. I like the look of them on you, and I think they would be a fun new style for you. But I really don't think they'll serve as a replacement for your old pair; they have a quite different vibe, as you've pointed out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-about-replacement-white-sandals%e2%80%a6#post-2399286 Thu, 20 Nov 2025 14:00:25 +0000 unfrumped 2399286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually think they LOOK great and would be an updated style for you, and add balance to casual outfits more than a delicate strappy style. ( yes, I know fashion may have already moved on from this!). I wish I could wear open toes like that !<br /> But I agree to hold out for leather in something similar, whether very similar or a bit less chunky but still not overly delicate. Would be better comfort, better “ give” and look better quality ( since are not to be pool shoes per se). So I think this could be a kind of target style to shop for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-about-replacement-white-sandals%e2%80%a6#post-2399274 Thu, 20 Nov 2025 01:15:05 +0000 Jaime 2399274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nodding along - like the style, don't like the noise and I think leather is preferable in the heat.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-about-replacement-white-sandals%e2%80%a6#post-2399267 Wed, 19 Nov 2025 22:13:47 +0000 Carla 2399267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What&nbsp;<b>Angie&nbsp;</b>said. &nbsp;These are very pretty on your feet - and modern looking. &nbsp;However, the noise = ‘no’. &nbsp;You are on the right track! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-about-replacement-white-sandals%e2%80%a6#post-2399266 Wed, 19 Nov 2025 21:10:18 +0000 DonnaF 2399266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni; while those new sandals look nice on your feet, the style looks more Me than You. I really like the sandals Brooklyn showed, especially the second pair. They are more substantial than your current sandals, but very much look Jenni. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-about-replacement-white-sandals%e2%80%a6#post-2399265 Wed, 19 Nov 2025 18:55:21 +0000 Jenni NZ 2399265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m still thinking- have had several non-leather sandals which have been very comfortable previously so that alone doesn’t put me off, and it’s nice that several of you like the look of them on my feet. I haven’t had time to show my husband yet, he was later home last night though he says “I’m not a shoe expert!”. Will report back and keep looking as well.<br /> They are a bit of a style departure for me, but I do actually like how they look on my own feet! I need to decide about the 2 other pairs of shoes as well. Styletread allows a longer return period than the usual 30 days, over Christmas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-about-replacement-white-sandals%e2%80%a6#post-2399258 Wed, 19 Nov 2025 16:56:24 +0000 Sisi 2399258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do not seem enthusiastic about the new sandals. Good that you have time to ponder. I suggest to trust your instinct. That said, I like very much the two pairs posted by <b>Brooklyn</b> - pretty, interesting and very "Jenni" in my opinion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-about-replacement-white-sandals%e2%80%a6#post-2399257 Wed, 19 Nov 2025 16:50:14 +0000 Suz 2399257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to this party, but I am nodding along with the others. I would pass on these and hunt out leather. I think it is especially important for sandals because they are in direct contact with your skin (no socks).&nbsp;</p> <p>Having said that, I do like the look of these on your feet!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-about-replacement-white-sandals%e2%80%a6#post-2399253 Wed, 19 Nov 2025 15:22:54 +0000 Angie 2399253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with <b>Bijou</b> and <b>Brooklyn</b>. Pass, and opt for leather.&nbsp;</p> <p>Aesthetically though <b>Jenni,</b> I LOVE the way these sandals look and fit! Absolutely gorgeous on your pretty feet :)&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-about-replacement-white-sandals%e2%80%a6#post-2399244 Wed, 19 Nov 2025 13:54:42 +0000 RobinF 2399244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the looks of these although they are different from your usual. Maybe you are ready for a change? They do look very nice on your feet but if you won't be comfortable with the look then it is a no.</p> <p>I also usually prefer real leather in shoes but I have found for sandals some of my non-leather are just as comfortable as leather, maybe because they can breathe more just by design. </p> <p>The squeak is hard to predict. I have had some that go away with a bit of wear but sometimes not. I have also done the moleskin thing and that can help.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-about-replacement-white-sandals%e2%80%a6#post-2399243 Wed, 19 Nov 2025 13:28:54 +0000 Janet 2399243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve also solved a squeaking issue with a thin application of lotion on the inside of a shoe, but that may only work for certain kind of squeak on a leather shoe. Squeaks are caused by different things! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-about-replacement-white-sandals%e2%80%a6#post-2399241 Wed, 19 Nov 2025 12:56:49 +0000 Liz 2399241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>On some of my sandals, that sucking sound has been caused by a vacuum that gets created&nbsp; between the sole of my foot and the insole of the sandal. I've successfully dealt with it sticking a wide strip of moleskin down the length of the sole (my foot covers it when I'm wearing the shoe), which interrupts that bond between my foot and&nbsp; the sandal.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>I really like the look of these sandals for you, but if they're not shoes you love, return them.&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-about-replacement-white-sandals%e2%80%a6#post-2399239 Wed, 19 Nov 2025 12:52:25 +0000 Jules 2399239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From purely a style perspective I like them but they do seem different from your usual style, have you tried them in outfits? Might give you an idea whether you want to keep, look for a better version of this style or something different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-about-replacement-white-sandals%e2%80%a6#post-2399237 Wed, 19 Nov 2025 12:24:06 +0000 Star (Lise) 2399237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Back again to tell you that I today returned a pair of ankle boots that i really love how they look on, they fit perfectly but they are just not comfortable enough. I have learnt from you guys that to earn a place in my wardrobe an item should fit the bill in all aspects. Especially shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-about-replacement-white-sandals%e2%80%a6#post-2399235 Wed, 19 Nov 2025 12:20:04 +0000 Dee 2399235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd say it could be a pass from me too, unless you want to go in a slightly different style direction which might be fun too. However, I always want to really "love and be excited" by my purchases, and not have a bunch of doubts about various elements that could spoil the joy of wearing them. Thats how I measure whether something is worth keeping or not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-about-replacement-white-sandals%e2%80%a6#post-2399233 Wed, 19 Nov 2025 11:13:07 +0000 Janet 2399233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The new ones look really good but it’s also a style I have seen a fair amount, so maybe there is a similar pair out there that’s not synthetic. They remind me a bit of some I’ve had from Sorel and Seychelles, but I’m not sure about the availability of those brands where you are. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-sure-about-replacement-white-sandals%e2%80%a6#post-2399230 Wed, 19 Nov 2025 06:27:00 +0000 Jenni NZ 2399230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Brooklyn I will take a look. These were on Black Friday sale already on Styletread. Having said that my previous olive sandals that somehow got damaged/stained were I Love Billy brand same as these and were synthetic/man-made and incredibly comfortable. These feel like a different sort of synthetic though, the olive ones really felt like leather. I will look, I really like the second photo, the ones you have in a different colour.<br /> Thanks too Sally- they were already on sale! I have seen some others on sale for still about $200 though and that price hurts for sandals!<br /> Thanks cat2, instructive to know your poor experience with thicker soles…lots of Fabbers do have chunkier soles on sandals though and not have an issue… </p>
