If I had those, I'd never be able to keep the fabric clean and the ribbon would fray just from the breeze AND stain from everything around me. (Although it looks like you can replace the ribbon.) And they do look like they wouldn't really mold comfortably to your feet the way leather would.</p> <p>Does that help? Probably not, as I don't think you're a klutz like me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-why-these-are-not-the-coolest-shoes-ever#post-235152 Wed, 20 Oct 2010 00:20:35 +0000 Reneeb 235152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the looks of the shoe allot and a 2 inch heel is fine. If they are comfortable and you love them I would to them. My shoe have got to be be comfy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-why-these-are-not-the-coolest-shoes-ever#post-235146 Wed, 20 Oct 2010 00:01:52 +0000 Maya 235146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I knew these would be the shoes you were talking about the minute I realized it was an Anthropologie link. I, too, swooned over them.</p> <p>I dunno, Medusa has pretty fussy feet and she really liked hers, so I wouldn't rule out comfort. And she is a professor, so they clearly *are* professorial.</p> <p>Oh, I was just surfing Modcloth because I swear I saw a very similar pair there...and look what I found!</p> <p><a href="http://www.modcloth.com/store/ModCloth/Womens/Shoes/Heels/Chicka+Chicka+Blue+Bloom+Heel" rel="nofollow">http://www.modcloth.com/store/.....Bloom+Heel</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-why-these-are-not-the-coolest-shoes-ever#post-235140 Tue, 19 Oct 2010 23:41:10 +0000 Dashrashi 235140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been back and forth on these all season. The reviews tend to say that they're a little pinchy and you need to size way up to alleviate that. But the real issue is whether I really like that heel all that much. Do I really want a shoe in my closet that from day to day, I might look at it and say, Nah, too clown-y for my outfit? It's definitely unique and interesting, but I don't know that bubbly/clowny/whimsical/Claes Oldenburg-y is really how I want to go, shoe-wise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-why-these-are-not-the-coolest-shoes-ever#post-235128 Tue, 19 Oct 2010 22:56:47 +0000 Carole 235128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, they are very cute, but as Angie so wisely points out, they are likely very uncomfortable! Just saved you $198 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-why-these-are-not-the-coolest-shoes-ever#post-235125 Tue, 19 Oct 2010 22:55:08 +0000 Lisa 235125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are wool which may not be weather friendly. We are going into rain/sleet/snow season. And by spring you may want a different printed shoe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-why-these-are-not-the-coolest-shoes-ever#post-235122 Tue, 19 Oct 2010 22:53:05 +0000 Angie 235122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They might not be comfortable. They look hard. Sweet though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-why-these-are-not-the-coolest-shoes-ever#post-235112 Tue, 19 Oct 2010 22:34:14 +0000 April 235112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High five, Auburn. :)</p> <p>Jonesy, you not only get a C minus in the talking-me-out-of-it department, but I'm writing "See me" in the margin of your comment.</p> <p>Bella, playing the Medusa card is not exactly helping me to stay within my budget! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-why-these-are-not-the-coolest-shoes-ever#post-235109 Tue, 19 Oct 2010 22:28:54 +0000 bella 235109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Medusa had a similar pair (in a different color) and she rocked them like nobody's business. So yes, you should get them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-why-these-are-not-the-coolest-shoes-ever#post-235108 Tue, 19 Oct 2010 22:23:34 +0000 Jonesy 235108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are "professor worthy" so what's not to love?! I love the heel height and shape, and the tweed. They seem like they'd work with pants and skirts just dandy. In the cons column, I'm not a huge fan of the grosgrain ribbon ties--a bit girlish and maybe not so practical for the winter. How'd I do in convincing you not to buy them :)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-tell-me-why-these-are-not-the-coolest-shoes-ever#post-235106 Tue, 19 Oct 2010 22:23:04 +0000 Auburn 235106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April,<br /> There must be something in the air.
