Completely weatherproof, comfy and awesome. How can our SE booties not be in style! They are KILLER haute hiking boots for woodsy walks with Sam and Jo - also, I'd love to see which VB tall boots you got. They sound amazing!&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planned-unplanned-shoes-laces-help-please/page/2#post-2372820 Wed, 23 Oct 2024 14:58:53 +0000 Dana 2372820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, you are going to LOVE those Dolce Vita sneakers!! I have 2 pairs (different styles) and adore them--we are foot twins. I've been thinking of the spearmint ones in your style, but have kind of forgotten about them since I've been spending sooo much $$ and don't REALLYneed them.&nbsp;</p> <p>Do you think our Sam Eddleman(?) twin lace up cream booties are still in style? I'm not really seeing them much in stores. They've never been my absolute favorites, but I like them...otherwise I'll need to find cream booties for my NEW Favorite Daughter winter white pants, but don't really want to spend the $$. </p> <p>I just bought some Veronica Beard tall boots $$$$ that are TDF!!! Finally a tall boot that fits my skinny calves!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planned-unplanned-shoes-laces-help-please/page/2#post-2372808 Wed, 23 Oct 2024 11:52:46 +0000 Eliza 2372808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful boots, Angie. Such a find, especially when you have fussy feet. </p> <p>I have off-white Aquatalia boots and have celebrated how well they perform in my wet, sometimes slushy or snowy, weather. Hope you enjoy yours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planned-unplanned-shoes-laces-help-please/page/2#post-2372757 Tue, 22 Oct 2024 19:41:11 +0000 Suz 2372757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are great boots!

Those wretched deceiving stock photos The Vince Camutos are half an inch lower.

Now you can use either lace shortening strategy as desired :)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Jenni,</b> I wore my Aquatalias out with a client all day yesterday, and they were great!&nbsp; (Find #1). But I don't want that heel height to be my default when I wear cream boots - which is most days for six months. Hence the addition of the even lower heels.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planned-unplanned-shoes-laces-help-please#post-2372547 Sat, 19 Oct 2024 03:04:02 +0000 Lisa 2372547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's awesome! I'm going to keep that in mind next time my laces are too long because sometimes tucking doesn't work. What a great suggestion from K. Period! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planned-unplanned-shoes-laces-help-please#post-2372540 Sat, 19 Oct 2024 00:40:10 +0000 Jenni NZ 2372540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic! It was such a good idea from K. Period.<br /> I will try to remember in case I ever need to do similar!<br /> Lovely boots and sneakers. I’m sorry about the Aquatalias now seeming a little too high? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planned-unplanned-shoes-laces-help-please#post-2372535 Fri, 18 Oct 2024 23:31:47 +0000 Angie 2372535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b></b>Thanks,<b> Sharan</b>! It's a great hack to keep in mind :)</p> <p><b>Update: </b>Chopped inches off the laces! Heat set the aglets onto the shorter laces. SO MUCH BETTER :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planned-unplanned-shoes-laces-help-please#post-2372532 Fri, 18 Oct 2024 21:47:03 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2372532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice finds, Angie! And thanks to K.Period for the lace-end product. I've collected the Find you created, Angie, for future reference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planned-unplanned-shoes-laces-help-please#post-2372509 Fri, 18 Oct 2024 17:10:36 +0000 Angie 2372509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! Appreciate the kind words.&nbsp;</p> <p>For those suggesting I change the laces - I'll do so as a last resort. I've done that in the past, but find that the laces are never as good a match as the ones that come with the shoes.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Lisa</b>, tucking laces seems to work when the laces are shorter, although I do find the bumps uncomfy, even then! I will enjoy tucked laces on you :)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Jules,</b> thanks for the explanation! I'm running with it :)</p> <p><b>Suntiger,</b> gum soles provide good bookending with my new dark hair!&nbsp;</p> <p>Off to work with a client.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planned-unplanned-shoes-laces-help-please#post-2372494 Fri, 18 Oct 2024 15:25:05 +0000 Jules 2372494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since K hasn't come back I'll weigh in that I think she was suggesting you thread the laces through the tubing before you cut off the thinner ends, because it would be difficult to do so after. It's a great idea and I can see why you want to keep those creamy off white laces - very cute shoes.</p> <p>I'm a bit gratified to learn that tucking laces isn't always a solution - they don't stay put and aren't comfortable when I've tried it.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planned-unplanned-shoes-laces-help-please#post-2372488 Fri, 18 Oct 2024 13:20:52 +0000 Janet 2372488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have shortened laces before, on a pair of tall boots, and gotten replacement shrink-to-fit aglets, but they were black and probably a bit more forgiving. For sneakers and light laces, though, I’d probably just order new laces in the proper length. I have this problem with a lot of laces (narrow foot people problems?), but usually just double knot and/or use a lacing style that takes up more of the lace. </p> <p>Those are really cute blue sneakers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planned-unplanned-shoes-laces-help-please#post-2372475 Fri, 18 Oct 2024 11:36:11 +0000 Suntiger 2372475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to team gumsoles, and yes to just replacing laces!

Period's suggestion.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planned-unplanned-shoes-laces-help-please#post-2372450 Fri, 18 Oct 2024 00:47:48 +0000 Jaime 2372450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous and perfect for you picks! I would immediately go to changing the laces, but I appreciate the creative solutions above. Hmm, maybe shoelaces are (or should be) the next big accessory.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planned-unplanned-shoes-laces-help-please#post-2372447 Thu, 17 Oct 2024 23:56:53 +0000 pil 2372447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No idea about the shoelaces but those boots are absolutely swoon worthy! </p>
