It’s the green ones that are. I only posted my own photos of the loafers; the sneakers are in the second find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pulling-the-triggers-on-shoes#post-2170239 Fri, 05 Feb 2021 19:10:54 +0000 Irina 2170239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really like both but especially the loafers. I would not call them “fashion sneakers “ as I don’t find anything sporty in the style. They are more menswear inspired. Good choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pulling-the-triggers-on-shoes#post-2170237 Fri, 05 Feb 2021 18:56:22 +0000 Liesbeth 2170237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those blue shoes are yummie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pulling-the-triggers-on-shoes#post-2170227 Fri, 05 Feb 2021 17:46:29 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2170227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kkards,coming at them from the fashion side of things, I guess fashion sneaks might seem comfortable, but I’m comparing them to sports shoes. </p> <p>I’ve had two pairs of fashion sneakers so far—Sketchers in the 90s that were superfab comfortable and fun to wear, and then a pair of Sperrys a few years ago. They are in some of my early YLF posts. It took me a while to make the connection, but eventually I realized that those shoes were the reason my back ached. They seemed padded, but I guess the foam didn’t offer enough resistance. After wearing them at Disney World, I swore off fashion sneakers. </p> <p>I’ve had a pair of white tennies—actual sports shoes for playing tennis in—for a year now, and enjoy wearing them with casual clothes. They are all white leather. Being actually made for sports, they have serious cushioning that means I can walk all day in them easily. </p> <p>I’d be happy to wear shoes with non-athletic styling that have sports “guts” but going the other way, sporty looks with who knows what inside, just makes me leery. S. Oliver is a clothing brand, not really a shoe brand, but they are high enough quality that I’m hopeful that their forays into shoes might have the comfort I need. Being a European brand, I expect they’ll be designed for walking more than American brands might be (though these days labels are so international, that probably doesn’t make as much difference as it once did) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pulling-the-triggers-on-shoes#post-2170217 Fri, 05 Feb 2021 17:28:47 +0000 kkards 2170217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like both pairs...the 1st are super fun and i think can be dressy or casual really easily. Not sure why you aren’t keen on fashion sneakers, i find them so essential, they are comfortable, and work with some much...and the sage green is a really nice neutral color that mixes and matches with so much.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pulling-the-triggers-on-shoes#post-2170214 Fri, 05 Feb 2021 16:57:31 +0000 Star (Lise) 2170214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I so get what you mean about wanting a slip-on sometimes.&nbsp; I really like both of these pairs, interesting and unique, in color and sty </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pulling-the-triggers-on-shoes#post-2170208 Fri, 05 Feb 2021 16:30:54 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2170208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In the winter, I get so tired of boots. My feet get tired of wearing them, even if I rotate from one pair to the next. The rest of me gets tired of the time and care necessary to wear them. I love my boots, but enough is enough. </p> <p>I’ve been looking for flat slip-ons for some time now. The slip-on factor is especially crucial. I have no physical problems leaning over or using my hands to put shoes on or anything. I just don’t want to sometimes, and I’ve never been impressed with the idea of breaking the backs of my shoes to make mules of them. </p> <p>I recently made one more assault on shoe stores online, came up dry, so hit up zalando again. I think I’ve ordered a dozen pairs of shoes from them this year, easily. I’ve learned that Tamaris’ last is apparently shaped differently than my feet, and that shoes that look spunky and “different” in a good way online might look just the opposite irl. I’ve mostly been looking at browns, burgundies, and the likes, but I haven’t restricted colors in my searches. It’s a good thing I haven’t, because I’ve come across one or maybe two winners, and neither of them is a shade of brown or black. </p> <p>#1 is deep navy kiltie loafers from Reiker. They fit just right—I forgot to take them off a couple times while doing outfit pix this morning. That is very unusual for me. I’m glad they aren’t black, and I like the classic details and shiny finish. I think they ride that line between classic and unassuming and “HEY; LOOK AT ME” that I like so much. </p> <p>#2 is a little more “iffy”. Good thing Zalando has a 100 day return policy! They are that thing I said I’d never do again—fashion sneakers! The horror. I clicked on by at my first whim to look closer, but then realized that I’ve talked about green shoes, whether it’s Old Skool Vans 2+ years ago or otk boots this past fall, for a long time, so I decided to give them a try. They fit well and seem to have enough padding. I expect to wear them with jeans and shorts, also maybe with some of my short summer dresses. We will see. One thing I don’t like about them is the name embroidered on the side. I may take a seam ripper to that. I also think I’ll get vanity laces, even though not needing to tie them is one of the things I like about the shoes. </p>
