All of them actually!</p> <p>grandfashionista, I'm one of those with a width issue because of bunions--and very narrow feet other than the bunion part (which is worse on the right foot, to make fit even more complicated). They need to come up with bunion-width shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantyhose-and-sandals#post-1435182 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 18:32:36 +0000 gradfashionista 1435182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of nays, as I expected.</p> <p>I definitely like the look of coloured tights with peep-toe or strappy booties, as seen&nbsp;in K.M.'s examples,&nbsp;because the contrast emphasizes the beauty of the shoe and the colour itself adds a fun factor.</p> <p>Wolford, by the way, sells beige footless pantyhose, for those interested.</p> <p>I agree that if the weather is warm enough for sandals, then it's warm enough for bare legs, but I would want to incorporate a dressy sandal as an all-year item.&nbsp;</p> <p>Regarding the toe box: square toe boxes can be deceptive. The sharp angles can be rather&nbsp;unforgiving, and cut into the wrong part of my foot.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you have a wide toe box (from bunions, for example) and an otherwise narrow foot, wider shoes are often not the answer, as the width assumes a wider foot in all measurements.&nbsp;No amount of heel protectors, inserts and footpads, I find, can fully&nbsp;stabilize the foot or protect it from bleeding blisters. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantyhose-and-sandals#post-1435170 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 18:19:40 +0000 approprio 1435170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>K.M. - it's a bit hard to see in the photo, but I'm <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-back-in-black-2">wearing them in this first look</a>, with a pair of very woolly ski socks.

Grandfashionista, not sure if that's what you had in mind with your question.<br />It's interesting that most of the looks that match tights with open-toes or sandals are for high heels (often with a bit of platform). Maybe that amps the dressy factor? <br />Which is why I love the look on pic 4. Not technically a sandal (and not an open toe), but a t-trap flat doesn't have a whole lot of coverage and in this sense I find it comparable, as there's a lot of skin surface (tight surface) to be exposed. I absolutely love this look and have been trying to replicate it since I saw the catalogue, but haven't found the right combo of shoe-tight-skirt for it yet. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantyhose-and-sandals#post-1435163 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 18:12:53 +0000 approprio 1435163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am totally in favour of wooly tights with chunky open toed lace ups. I do it all the time, so sue me.&nbsp;But&nbsp;with sheer pantyhose? Eh... well, I'm all for a bit of&nbsp;frump chic, but let's just say that's a hard look to pull off.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantyhose-and-sandals#post-1435162 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 17:59:46 +0000 K.M. 1435162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>unfrumped, thanks for the clarification! <br />By the way, I didn't know anything about Fluevog shoes except that I always drive in front of one of their stores on my way to work. Now that you mentioned it I looked it up and thought maybe I should pay that store a visit! I love this kind of arty shoe... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantyhose-and-sandals#post-1435129 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 16:38:25 +0000 unfrumped 1435129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>K.M., an open toe sandal by design can't be very pointy or else your forefoot and toes would spread out over the sole of the shoe. Soe overall the " footprint " tends to be more foot- friendly.<br /> Close toe shoes do style and trend- shifting changes in shape and require your got to conform to the shoe shape. Only the most rounded or squared off shoes would get an orthopedic seal of approval, I think!<br /> To get that shape and be " in style" may require some kind of arty shoe like a Fluevog or a round-toed glat or pump that often runs rather sedate, or dare i say, frumpy, to which the style critics might<br /> say, " if you could just update to more modern footwear"! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantyhose-and-sandals#post-1435113 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 16:01:17 +0000 deb 1435113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do not care for the look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantyhose-and-sandals#post-1435112 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 16:00:38 +0000 K.M. 1435112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not sure I understand what you mean by the fit in the toe box. </p> <p>On the look: I must say that I really like some versions of opaque tights with sandals or open-toe shoes, as long as the sandals/shoes are heavy enough (with lots of coverage despite the open toes, a chunkier sole/heel--i.e. not strappy numbers). I have never been able to put this together myself, but I've seen it in magazines (and thinking of Anna Wintour, I've seen it in Vogue) and I do love it. Black tights with dark brown shoes or even lighter-colored shoes... or an all-cream look... Later if I have time I'll try to find pics to share. </p> <p>Great question, because I've often thought about this and wondered what others thought. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantyhose-and-sandals#post-1435105 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 15:46:22 +0000 unfrumped 1435105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know exactly what you mean about shoe fit. I have a narrow heel but forefoot had gotten wider and has issues. These issues are exacerbated by heel height as might be in a dressy shoe.<br /> I wear nude pantyhose but have still become gunshy of wearing them with a full open toe. That's clearly influenced by " fashion" , since if it were commonly done, I'd be there!<br /> Peep toes with small "peep" I've done, but then peeptoes can be more uncomfortable than closed toe. </p> <p>So, ultimately, a HEWI for me is a dressy, closed toe semi- sandal shoe with a comfortable toe box and but some strapping or lighter summer look.<br /> Sometimes the toe box could be made of open- weave style leather so the pantyhose-clad toe isn't obvious </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantyhose-and-sandals#post-1435101 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 15:39:34 +0000 Anonymous 1435101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it's warm enough to wear sandals, then it's also warm enough for a bare leg. And then obviously the reverse is true too. &nbsp;I do not like looking at hose covered toes sticking out of an open -toe shoe ....unless it's done deliberately with heavy tights in a contrasting colour. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantyhose-and-sandals#post-1435096 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 15:37:21 +0000 always trying 1435096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Harder to find are the toeless panty hose.&nbsp; I had to order on line as they were always out of stock in stores, finally ordered from JCP on line. they work very well for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantyhose-and-sandals#post-1435042 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 14:05:28 +0000 SharLa 1435042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like a nude, skin matching nylon, even with sandals. Of course sandal foot toe with the seam tucked to not show! But I think this give a finishing touch, and my legs have issues! And then the additional benefit of preventing chafing also add weight to wearing nylons.<br /> But I think it looks best matching your skin tone . Different color skin peeking out of sandals is weird IMHO. (Thinking suntan nylons https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantyhose-and-sandals#post-1435027 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 12:46:02 +0000 Ruth M 1435027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another nay from me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantyhose-and-sandals#post-1435024 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 12:21:33 +0000 Astrid 1435024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second Shipskitty - it's either one or the other for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantyhose-and-sandals#post-1434976 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 06:27:56 +0000 shipskitty 1434976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thumbs down from me. I can't get my head around this look. For me if I want to wear open toe shoes then I am not wearing hose or socks. If I want to wear hose, tights&nbsp;or socks then closed toe shoes all the way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pantyhose-and-sandals#post-1434969 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 05:27:25 +0000 gradfashionista 1434969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wearing pantyhose with dress sandals--yay or nay? I don't like exposing my toes in general, but sandals and peep-toes are often better suited to feet that wider in the toe box. </p> <p>Following the links from the Anna Wintour thread, I found a photo of her wearing black pantyhose with gray/silver dress mules. </p>
