In any case they were much better for my wide toe box that Wow pumps Suz mentioned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pointy-toed-shoes-for-wide-feet#post-1174932 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 02:24:38 +0000 Lisa 1174932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great question, I've also been wondering how to sport the pointy toe trend.&nbsp; They never work on my feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pointy-toed-shoes-for-wide-feet#post-1174725 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 21:39:07 +0000 Day Vies 1174725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Angie. I have wide feet and have lots of almond toed shoes which accommodate my (fan shaped) feet with out sacrificing comfort or style.&nbsp;<i></i>I do find that pointed toe flats work very well if you go up 1/2 a size if needed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pointy-toed-shoes-for-wide-feet#post-1174652 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 20:11:31 +0000 greenglove 1174652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sona, <br />Those look great but not coming in wide widths is a concern.<br />I have resorted to only buying wide width shoes but perhaps that is not a good solution.<br />Maybe I will give those a whirl.</p> <p>Good to know Angie, hard to resist such a great trend but may have to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pointy-toed-shoes-for-wide-feet#post-1174496 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 16:22:31 +0000 Angie 1174496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Round toes aren't dated.

I fell for them and ordered them, and while I might've been able to get them to stretch enough, I was doubtful enough that I returned them. D'orsay styles, while I just adore them, are the worst for a wide foot. There's nothing worse than your foot being wider than the sole of your shoe and being exposed for the whole world to see!&nbsp;</p> <p>So I am a total spanner because I have no suggestions. Pointy toes are just plain difficult to wear for a wider foot. FWIW, I've always favoured rounded toes on pumps, both for comfort and for looks, and an almond toe is a perennial classic.&nbsp;Pointy toes, especially when they get "witchy", can look severe and aging on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pointy-toed-shoes-for-wide-feet#post-1174163 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 03:13:34 +0000 Suz 1174163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh - and also try the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.zappos.com/sam-edelman-okala">Okalas.&nbsp;</a></p> <p>I got these and love them. I will need to wear them around the house once to stretch them a bit at the top of the forefoot, but once that is done, they're going to be all day walkers. The ankle strap gives them stability.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pointy-toed-shoes-for-wide-feet#post-1174160 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 03:10:10 +0000 Suz 1174160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about the ones that Angie got last year? They come in widths and are not expensive:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.zappos.com/bella-vita-wow-white-kidskin">http://www.zappos.com/bella-vita-wow-white-kidskin</a></p> <p>Sveta tried them and they did not work for her, alas. And a few others have also found them not quite right. But some have been literally WOWed by them. So worth a shot? They come in a ton of colours, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pointy-toed-shoes-for-wide-feet#post-1174153 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 03:01:56 +0000 alee 1174153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On the show What not to Wear the solution was to wear a half a size up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pointy-toed-shoes-for-wide-feet#post-1174146 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 02:55:15 +0000 greenglove 1174146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the suggestions,<br />Suz, yes I did try on a pair and they were fine for a bit but I knew they would start to rub.<br />I am looking for a low heel pump for dress or just to wear with boyfriend jeans to add structure to my slouchy looks.<br />Something super comfortable because, I will not wear it if it is not an all day shoe.<br />Not looking for a dorsay (is that what they are called?)although they are cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pointy-toed-shoes-for-wide-feet#post-1174142 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 02:48:36 +0000 Suz 1174142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, it's the latter ones I'm talking about, Joy. I have 3 pair of pointy toed shoes (new) and all are like that. I also have an almond toe that is almost a pointed toe with a similar shape.&nbsp;The toe box is a normal width. The almond toed ones are all-day shoes for me -- I wore them tromping around London last year for a full week, actually. Two of the new pointed toes are almost as comfortable as that. One of the pointy toes is less comfortable, but it is a dressier shoe and the reason it's not as good is more the footbed -- no padding in it. Plus a narrow heel vs. a chunkier one.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pointy-toed-shoes-for-wide-feet#post-1174141 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 02:47:29 +0000 Parsley 1174141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I have the opposite problem, since my feet are narrow, but here are some pointy flats&nbsp;that were way too wide for me, so maybe they'd work for you.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/halogen-kayla-pointy-toe-flat/3707351">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ha.....at/3707351</a> </p> <p>What sort of thing were you looking for?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pointy-toed-shoes-for-wide-feet#post-1174136 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 02:42:12 +0000 Anonymous 1174136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm looking for pointy toes like those I have on an older pair that are normal width at the toes, then start tapering in the make the point.&nbsp; They can either be quite long because of this or taper quickly to a wider point.&nbsp; I like the latter best because I tend to trip on the really long toes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pointy-toed-shoes-for-wide-feet#post-1174133 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 02:39:36 +0000 carter 1174133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you're interested in pointy toe flats, try JJill. Their d'orsay flats have a great width on the toe box. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pointy-toed-shoes-for-wide-feet#post-1174131 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 02:36:54 +0000 Suz 1174131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jean, have you tried any of the new styles on? I ask because my perception is that many of them are cut a bit differently from pointed toe shoes in the past. I may be wrong, but&nbsp;many seem to be wider in the toe box with a more subtle and graduated point. So they might be more wearable than older versions. Also, lower heels help because the toes are not squished forward.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pointy-toed-shoes-for-wide-feet#post-1174129 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 02:33:39 +0000 greenglove 1174129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have wide and fussy feet, what does one do with the pointy toe trend, are round toe pumps completely dated?<br />Any others with this issue? </p>
