It's a question of warmth. I would freeze in them in winter. And like Angie, I don't much care for hose with shoes that have no heels.&nbsp;</p> <p>Glory, when oh when is that Nordie's opening up your way????? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/okala-owners---question#post-1377045 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 15:32:26 +0000 Elizabeth P 1377045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I guess I'm out of style... I wear mine in the winter :).&nbsp; Moreso in the spring and fall.&nbsp; Mine are the black suede, and to me suede is a winter material.&nbsp; I don't care for mine so much in summer, and kind of wish I'd got plain leather for that reason.&nbsp; Now that being said... I don't wear them much in the winter, as I do think pumps are better.&nbsp; But I wore them with pants a few times. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/okala-owners---question#post-1377041 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 15:25:12 +0000 Glory 1377041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura thanks so much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/okala-owners---question#post-1377031 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 15:13:11 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1377031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've seen several pairs of pumps recently with the ankle strap detail but with a closed back. Might be a good combo of trendy and classic. If I find a link to one online I'll post it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/okala-owners---question#post-1377024 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 14:59:43 +0000 Glory 1377024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Let the hunt begin! I just can't be stuck like I was last night again. Don't you wish there was a Nordie here Suz? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/okala-owners---question#post-1377020 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 14:54:55 +0000 Suz 1377020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel as Angie does, and it's enough to make me weep -- because I have such trouble with pumps, while the Okala stays on my foot (an excellent quality in a shoe, don't you agree?) and I would so dearly love a winter dress shoe that did the same!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/okala-owners---question#post-1377009 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 14:49:07 +0000 Glory 1377009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sara and Angie. Angie thanks for chiming in on the seasonal questions. So happy you did -&nbsp;&nbsp;I will now have to look for something else for the fall and winter.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/okala-owners---question#post-1376974 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 14:24:22 +0000 Angie 1376974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely on trend for a while, but so not a season-less shoe. This is a Summer shoe. Spring and Fall only if the weather is warm. Personally, I do not like hose with an open back shoe. If the back was closed, hose&nbsp;would be fine.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/okala-owners---question#post-1376964 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 14:04:16 +0000 Sara L. 1376964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look of the Okalas although I don't own a pair myself.&nbsp; I see them still being on trend next year.&nbsp; I think they could work for winter with tights or hose.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/okala-owners---question#post-1376932 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 13:21:46 +0000 Glory 1376932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ladies, last night it became pretty clear to me that I need a new pair of shoes for going out to dinner, weddings, events etc. I don't have a huge requirement - maybe 6 events per year. This summer I wore sandals and I wore the sandals to an event last night - but it was pushing it weather wise. I do have round toe black pumps but they are super uncomfortable.</p> <p>I am thinking of buying the black Okala's tomorrow so that I have something I can pull out at a moments notice.&nbsp;<br />My questions: <ul> <li>will they work and be on trend for at least one year more?</li> <li>will they work for all seasons including winter (I would need to carry them with and change with the snow boots)?</li> <li>are they true to size?</li> </ul> <br />Here is a photo of the ones I am considering. All advice is most welcome.</p> <p> </p>
