Period. 670467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm late to the party, but I'm just repeating what everyone else said anyway. The first ones are fine, but I don't feel any real love for them. Second and third are much nicer to my eye. </p> <p>If it makes you feel better, I've had shoes in that color and finish, and they really didn't wear well for me at all. Scuffed right away. The scuffs showed horribly and there was nothing I could do to get rid of them so they always looked beat up. After just a few wearings they were relegated to "farm shoes" category. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opnions-on-booties---too-frumpy#post-670451 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 23:40:04 +0000 Jenava 670451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies! My girlfriend at work concluded the same thing. (-: </p> <p>Denise, I like those too but would prefer something that wasn't all black.</p> <p>I may have order them an use some of my NAS money...or wait and hope Nordies gets them in stock soon so I can get my employee discount!

Not at all frumpy. I think the second pair could actually get frump. The first are very casual, but also not frumpy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opnions-on-booties---too-frumpy#post-670365 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 21:15:07 +0000 CocoLion 670365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote no on the first pair. You have to work extra hard to de-frumpify an outfit with shoes like those, although by no means are they as bad as Keens. The second two pair are comfortable looking and not frumpy. Especially the last ones with the little platforms.</p> <p>I do confess to wearing frumpy clogs at work (and I know Anna also wears Sanitas for work), but that's it. Unfortunately I think shoes can pull down an otherwise great outfit. Which is something I suffer through at work (white shirt, dark pants, clogs, apron. 5-6 days a week.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opnions-on-booties---too-frumpy#post-670364 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 21:11:09 +0000 DeniseP 670364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure of your style, but do like the Gema. Today I was looking at Naots and wondered about these for fall: <a href="http://www.zappos.com/naot-footwear-advance" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/naot-footwear-advance</a><br /> Do you like them for yourself?</p> <p>Scarlet makes a good point about sometimes we just need to do our feet a favor.<br /> A month ago, I developed a case of painful heel bursitis, and I'm on a hunt for some comfort, yet stylish shoes for errands. I have two pairs of Naot sandals, and they cradle my foot with comfort, and get lots of compliments on them too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opnions-on-booties---too-frumpy#post-670358 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 20:58:09 +0000 Amy 670358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nope. Don't like the first pair. They're not worthy of your fabulous self. I like the others, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opnions-on-booties---too-frumpy#post-670347 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 20:51:39 +0000 Scarlet 670347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Gema, but the other ones not as much.</p> <p>ETA: that being said, you do sometimes just have to do your feet a favor. In my case the favor is my Dansko boots or my Clark's loafer/shootie. Well the latter is defunct now, but I have bought essentially the same shoe from them over and over with small style updates because it was a comfortable, versatile, reasonable heel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opnions-on-booties---too-frumpy#post-670300 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 20:19:40 +0000 rae 670300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Gema... the others kinda look like gear to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opnions-on-booties---too-frumpy#post-670299 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 20:19:14 +0000 Diana 670299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the second and third options. Not crazy about the first one - something about the combo of the plain front, the color, the black sole/brown top combo, and the material is reading a little too rugged/sporty to me. </p> <p>I love Naot boots and sandals for my fussy feet and I am up to 6 pairs now, 7 if you count the dead, garden-only sandals. Unfortunately I find the heel cup too deep in the non-boot closed styles, even with my orthotics inside. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opnions-on-booties---too-frumpy#post-670289 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 20:07:49 +0000 Jenava 670289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April, good point. The thing about that first pair is that the color is really nice. Hm. Maybe I will have to think about what I'd wear them with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opnions-on-booties---too-frumpy#post-670288 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 20:07:14 +0000 ironkurtin 670288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Gema.</p> <p>And I love men in Keens. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opnions-on-booties---too-frumpy#post-670287 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 20:05:54 +0000 April 670287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm putting the first pair into the same category that Angie puts clogs into: the "It's all in the styling" category. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opnions-on-booties---too-frumpy#post-670280 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 20:01:26 +0000 annagybe 670280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah not a fan of the first one. Far too many Keens in Seattle, far, far, far too many. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opnions-on-booties---too-frumpy#post-670278 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 20:00:29 +0000 Jenava 670278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm worried the first pair looks too much like this Keen shoe, which I see constantly worn my men and it's sooooo ugly!</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/keen-bidwell-slip-on-tobacco" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/keen-bidwell-slip-on-tobacco</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opnions-on-booties---too-frumpy#post-670273 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 19:58:43 +0000 Mo 670273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think pair 1 (and 3) don't have any frump with the heels.

Zappos has some new Naot booties in stock. I am especially wondering about the first pair. Are they too frumpy? The color would work very well in my wardrobe, but I am worried they'll look like those awful shoes that men sometimes where casually with the goring at the edges...The other two pair I am less worried about.</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/product/7990750/color/360888" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/product/7990750/color/360888</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/product/7990749/color/360885" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/product/7990749/color/360885</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/naot-footwear-gema-french-roast-leather" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/naot-foo.....st-leather</a> </p>
