I need it to be maybe 60 before even thinking about shoes without socks, and being able to stand those extra degrees would let me wear some of my fun shoes <i>so</i> much more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/okala-fun-ankle-straps-and-a-q#post-1200793 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 09:25:21 +0000 Joyce B 1200793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits look fab but you do look happier in the sandals. That black shoe looks tight to me. If you want to keep it, you may want to stretch it out before actually wearing it outside.<br /> I have the Okala ponys and the leopards. I have a wide foot but I really wanted to keep them so I tried multiple pairs until the prints matched nicely enough to each other and until I found the ones that were comfortable enough. After that, I stretched them out a bit wearing them with thick socks at home. Now they are comfortable but the animal print is still slightly tight on one shoe. All of this could have been prevented with a wide width shoe but those were not available at the time.<br /> Good luck with your Okalas, I think they look great with your jeans and you will be able to wear them with many different outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/okala-fun-ankle-straps-and-a-q#post-1200647 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 03:06:48 +0000 catgirl 1200647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow the Okalas join the lemming-wear list! And they look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/okala-fun-ankle-straps-and-a-q#post-1200645 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 03:05:12 +0000 trix 1200645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look really nice on you!

My right foot Okala is a tiny bit tight at the top of the foot, too -- but I am assuming it will stretch with wear. I would wear foot glide the first few times so you don't get blistering, though. That's my plan.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/okala-fun-ankle-straps-and-a-q#post-1200394 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 22:35:38 +0000 Anonymous 1200394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wear them around the house a little and see if they'll relax a bit. They look great, and I love the nude sandals too!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/okala-fun-ankle-straps-and-a-q#post-1200393 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 22:32:35 +0000 pastrygirl 1200393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sandals are Louise et Cie from Nordstrom, but they're not online (yet?).

Glad to hear </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/okala-fun-ankle-straps-and-a-q#post-1200386 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 22:22:38 +0000 pastrygirl 1200386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all!</p> <p>rabbit, my little toe is often a problem, but is thankfully not near popping out in these. Same with front-strapped shoes; my little toe gets caught, but it doesn't with these sandals. Big plus for both pairs of shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/okala-fun-ankle-straps-and-a-q#post-1200375 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 22:11:34 +0000 rabbit 1200375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both shoes look great with those pants!!</p> <p>I don't know about the stretching. &nbsp;My fear when the little toe is visible with shoes I try on&nbsp;is that it's going to pop out (which has happened when testing shoes which didn't fit well). &nbsp;If it feels secure though, you are probably&nbsp;good. &nbsp;It usually only happens on one foot for me&nbsp;too, which is frustrating.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/okala-fun-ankle-straps-and-a-q#post-1200366 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 22:05:54 +0000 carambola 1200366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both pairs of shoes. My Okalas did stretch just a tad across the front, which was perfect for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/okala-fun-ankle-straps-and-a-q#post-1200355 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 21:59:54 +0000 pil 1200355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't help with the question, but the new shoes sure are cute! The Okalas and the sandals both look great with your skinnies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/okala-fun-ankle-straps-and-a-q#post-1200350 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 21:56:58 +0000 viva 1200350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The heels and the sandals look so great with your jeans! I have brand new Okalas myself so can be no help on the stretching .... but I cant wait to wear mine just line this. You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/okala-fun-ankle-straps-and-a-q#post-1200348 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 21:54:41 +0000 pastrygirl 1200348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh shoot, I just realized I should've taken those photos outside in the 4 inches of snow that's still in my yard! It's a balmy 49 out, yahoo! (ETA: I'm serious, for me, near-50 weather means no socks needed and maaaybe a light jacket!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/okala-fun-ankle-straps-and-a-q#post-1200343 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 21:50:19 +0000 pastrygirl 1200343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never wear heels, but decided to buy the Okalas because you all rave about them and they didn't hurt in the store, which has never happened with heels! I had a nice Nordstrom note and got a price adjustment today because they are now on sale, so it's basically a $40 trial. :)</p> <p>I have always wanted to wear heels with skinny jeans. Three years ago, I never thought I could even wear skinny jeans. I finally got over that, and now I'm venturing into heels. I'm moving at a snail's pace! I'm not sure I can actually wear this out. I know I'll wear the shoes when I need to dress up and have to tolerate any discomfort, but if it's a jeans day...yeah, I'll probably go with something more comfortable. But it was fun to try it on! (Though they are not uncomfortable. I'm baffled.)</p> <p>I haven't fixed my Speigel jacket yet, but am thinking of taking it to someone and having them put the snap in a less awkward spot and somehow close up the hole.</p> <p>Question about the Okalas: my right shoe is a little tight on the right side where the front leather starts. Will that area stretch out? It seems like it will.</p> <p>The other photos are a new pair of ankle-strap sandals that I can't wait to wear! They fit my wishlist 1,000 percent. C'mon, spring! ETA: They are Louise et Cie from Nordstrom, but I don't see them online yet.</p>
