This takes me back to the early days of YLF... red shoes, polka dots, pearls. I still love it all. So pretty.

I will cross fingers for you that one from the next round works out -- I can see how well red shoes would suit your style! I am another person who found Corso Como flats comfortable when I wore that style.

I picked up these Aldos for $12 last weekend at DSW. They are super cute and work on my semi-wide feet. Not dainty, but I don't like flat flat shoes so these are my ballet flat alternatives. t was in the 70's yesterday so I wore them bare footed and they did rub my widest spot on the right foot by the end of the day, but nothing too severe and a little body glide would have helped.  TraceyLiz65 on "Red Shoes Update" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-shoes-update/page/2#post-1781608 Fri, 24 Feb 2017 23:52:03 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1781608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love your persistence in holding out for just the right ones. I just received my red wedges today and am over the moon, happy!   I will probably wear them tomorrow, lol   We are have Spring Temps right now,   Angie on "Red Shoes Update" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-shoes-update/page/2#post-1781599 Fri, 24 Feb 2017 23:31:36 +0000 Angie 1781599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ YES, I saw them.

You need red flats too.  April on "Red Shoes Update" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-shoes-update/page/2#post-1781519 Fri, 24 Feb 2017 19:12:50 +0000 April 1781519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It's funny how reds can be so off on a monitor.  I find that they can frequently turn out to be more orange in person, but usually not the other way around -- so if you suspect a bit too much orange in the photo, run!  But if you suspect a bit too much blue, you just might be okay.   abc on "Red Shoes Update" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-shoes-update/page/2#post-1781509 Fri, 24 Feb 2017 18:50:10 +0000 abc 1781509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Following! You read my mind  I was just thinking, what happened to all of my flats?  Especially my red ones I had a few years ago?  Well, I wore them out and didn't replace them.  I miss having red flats.  Thanks for the reminder.  I'll be looking into the ones you've posted here. Angie on "Red Shoes Update" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-shoes-update/page/2#post-1781469 Fri, 24 Feb 2017 16:25:58 +0000 Angie 1781469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Dana and E, you crack me up. Greyscale, what a lovely comment. Hoping the Corso Comos work out.  K2, YES. Inge alerted me to the Poppy Barley red shoes. Might give them a whirl, although my feet are probably too low volume for the T-strap.  Eliza, that's great info. Thanks. Hope the FS's work for you.  Eliza on "Red Shoes Update" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-shoes-update/page/2#post-1781209 Thu, 23 Feb 2017 20:41:49 +0000 Eliza 1781209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks for sharing your process and persistence, Angie. I tried the FS Jolette in white leather. My usual size was extra long and wide. I now have a half size down that may work with an insole. I like how they look and have to spend the time to check it out. Also, at my local shoe store, they were able to reduce my tendency to "lose" slip-on shoes off the heels by adding a padded foam stick-on to the inside center of the shoe where it rests on top of the foot. If it is close, that can help. I never had luck adding onto the heel area of the shoe. May your search be fruitful.

They are gorgeous -especially the d'orsay ones with cream. Saw them in person and my sil bought them. Greyscale on "Red Shoes Update" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-shoes-update/page/2#post-1781180 Thu, 23 Feb 2017 18:54:53 +0000 Greyscale 1781180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I've always liked the feel of Corso Como flats. They're nicely made. Never ended up buying them, but I hope those work for you. I had a pair of delicate red Bloch ballet flats (a real ballet brand that branched out into street shoes briefly) and they never stayed on my feet comfortably, my usual problem with flats. I sold them, but I miss the pop of color that they added. I hope you find the perfect shoes soon! Dana on "Red Shoes Update" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-shoes-update/page/2#post-1781128 Thu, 23 Feb 2017 16:28:20 +0000 Dana 1781128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh my, I'd be going barefoot if I were looking for "walk around Europe" shoes. I wasn't even when I was looking for shoes for Europe. Next time I'm taking sneakers for anywhere but Paris (where I'm willing to suffer a bit.)  Angie, I admire your patience!!! It's odd all these shoes are running so big!  Elizabeth P on "Red Shoes Update" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-shoes-update/page/2#post-1781117 Thu, 23 Feb 2017 15:59:43 +0000 Elizabeth P 1781117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Bijou... _I_ have white booties.  I lemminged Shevia some time ago Angie on "Red Shoes Update" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-shoes-update/page/2#post-1781112 Thu, 23 Feb 2017 15:46:47 +0000 Angie 1781112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Columbine, hope you find just the right navy boots. Lisap, you’d miss me too much, and look GEAT in white footwear! Shevia, awwwhhhh. That’s so sweet, my foot twin. Do you have tomato red shoes you can pass onto me? *smiling* Liz, YES. Noooooo settling. Although a good idea - I’m just not the dying type, IFKWIM. I want pristine and perfect newness. Harmonica, what a great idea. Like your Boden stash. Summer, wise words. kkards, I’m proud of you too. Elizabeth, bless your unfussy feet, and you crack me up. Bijou, I proudly take full responsibility. WOOOHOOO. Go Team White Boots. Suz, thank you. Excited to see what you come up with in the Summer red shoe department. FUN.

Or one of the other pairs. I admire your persistence and patience. I'll be starting my own red shoe/ sandal hunt in about a month. We'll see what is available then.  Bijou on "Red Shoes Update" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-shoes-update/page/2#post-1781075 Thu, 23 Feb 2017 13:10:19 +0000 Bijou 1781075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ To Elizabeth P and LisaP - you must get white boots - they seriously have been my best shoe purchase of 2016. I thought they would be a wild card and they have ended up a work horse. I even got told that I was too glamorous for my book club when wearing them (Angie - you are responsible for that comment)!

I still want to try those FS loafers, if I can find them locally. LOLing at LisaP... shall we have a bet as to when she gets her first pair of white booties?  kkards on "Red Shoes Update" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-shoes-update#post-1781052 Thu, 23 Feb 2017 11:23:40 +0000 kkards 1781052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ hope the next round works out better. i've been thinking about red shoes since last fall...some how i have in my head what i want, and haven't seen anything yet that has even made me think about ordering.....yes i'm practicing  PPP and so proud of myself!

It's really inspirational to see how to keep focused and not compromise. I've ordered the Bodens in size 37, too. I'm thinking of maybe adding the Luxe Leather Shopper to go with the red shoes. And the Poppy Lace top, but that might be too matchy-matchy. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.boden.eu/en-gb/womens-accessories/bags-wallets/am275/womens-luxe-leather-shopper">http://www.boden.eu/en-gb/wome.....er-shopper</a> approprio on "Red Shoes Update" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-shoes-update#post-1781012 Thu, 23 Feb 2017 08:54:52 +0000 approprio 1781012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your tenacity is admirable. Absolutely agree, there can be no settling! Too bad about those lovely Intentionally Black pumps. Maybe the Bodens will work. Random thought: have you thought about buying something in a lighter colour and dying it? Could widen the field.

I need to stop reading your blog immediately.

I'm holding out hope for the Boden shoes working for you, however those dainty flats are quite attractive.  I need to remember your patience in this shoe search and apply that later in the year when I'd like to start searching for navy blue booties. I have fussy feet now and possibly narrow ankles, not quite sure on that, so, it may take a few tries!  Angie on "Red Shoes Update" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-shoes-update#post-1780934 Thu, 23 Feb 2017 01:39:43 +0000 Angie 1780934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Echo, we're allowed a few pairs of sitting shoes. ENJOY.  Smittie, thanks. I wonder what I will end up with? Exciting.  JAileen, it's the only way to end up with the right pair. Got to exhaust the options.  Kathleen, I'll give the inserts for flats a try. Thank you.  K.

Period. 1780924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Angie, punting back to you.   Do you find that your inserts work with other shoes you have with arch support?  Also, the newer versions of Superfeet are softer, more foamy.  My first pair was just hard, black plastic. But with that said, I'm not sure even the new versions would have enough padding for you. Of course, Nordstrom is always awesome for buy and try.  :)  Anonymous on "Red Shoes Update" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-shoes-update#post-1780920 Thu, 23 Feb 2017 01:07:20 +0000 Anonymous 1780920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Exciting times!

I can't remember how many I bought - nine or ten pairs, and ended up keeping three pairs. One of them turned out to be a real workhorse. Good luck, Angie.
