I'm glad you're keeping them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-those-white-yellow-oxfords-i-asked-about#post-565099 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 19:25:16 +0000 Meredith1953 565099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very, very cute shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-those-white-yellow-oxfords-i-asked-about#post-564602 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 04:04:17 +0000 ManidipaM 564602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Secret socks are no good on my feet either, so it's not foot size for sure, Suz and Sveta! My feet are an Euro 37, UK 4 (actually 3.5, but no half sizes sold here), US 6.5 (i think?)... and NEVER met secret socks that on. For that matter, I have trouble getting any low socks (bed socks, for example) to stay on --- they just roll right off my heel and bunch underfoot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-those-white-yellow-oxfords-i-asked-about#post-564587 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 03:11:26 +0000 Sveta 564587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore them for 5 hours at home today and no discomfort. I think they pass the comfort test and I will keep them. Thank you all for enabling!<br /> Suz, I am really puzzled with those socks, I was sure it was because of my big feet but it looks the secret of the secret socks runs much deeper than this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-those-white-yellow-oxfords-i-asked-about#post-564550 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 02:14:13 +0000 ManidipaM 564550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I think you've already decided to keep? But I just wanted to say outfit #3 is outtasight! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-those-white-yellow-oxfords-i-asked-about#post-564460 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 01:04:22 +0000 Suz 564460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SO cute, Sveta! I am glad they work barefoot. </p> <p>They are going to work with so many of your summer outfits. </p> <p>And now we will have to figure out what the heck is wrong with secret socks. They don't work for me, either. Maybe my heel is too narrow? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-those-white-yellow-oxfords-i-asked-about#post-564440 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 23:59:29 +0000 Transcona Shannon 564440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think geeky chic can work with everyone's style, depending on how it's done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-those-white-yellow-oxfords-i-asked-about#post-564258 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 18:14:21 +0000 catgirl 564258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, I love them - I was questionable when you first posted but seeing them styled has changed my mind! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-those-white-yellow-oxfords-i-asked-about#post-564244 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 17:54:11 +0000 Kirti 564244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look adorable!

Effortless chic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-those-white-yellow-oxfords-i-asked-about#post-564210 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 17:06:12 +0000 Sveta 564210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the comments!<br /> Looks like they are gaining YLF approval then. I know that flat oxfords are not the best flattering option for my big feet but I think I am slowly learning to accept it.<br /> I think they will look good with wtite straight leg jeans too if I eve find them... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-those-white-yellow-oxfords-i-asked-about#post-564200 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 16:52:32 +0000 Jonesy 564200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-those-white-yellow-oxfords-i-asked-about#post-564194 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 16:23:57 +0000 marianna 564194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super!

It sounds like these oxfords will become very comfy - they just need a few more wears. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-those-white-yellow-oxfords-i-asked-about#post-564093 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 12:28:04 +0000 dottie 564093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute! I've always liked the yellow/cream colour combo. So, cute &amp; comfy? Sounds like a winner to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-those-white-yellow-oxfords-i-asked-about#post-564089 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 12:23:07 +0000 sarah 564089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I love them!</p> <p>BTW, I wear a size 7 and secret socks slip off my feet, too. I've given up on them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-those-white-yellow-oxfords-i-asked-about#post-563993 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 05:12:16 +0000 Diana 563993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, Sveta, I have the opposite problem. A lot of types of secret socks come up too high in the back because they are too big for my feet! I've never understood why women's socks only come in one size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-those-white-yellow-oxfords-i-asked-about#post-563991 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 05:09:28 +0000 Sveta 563991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, actually I had the rubbing issue when I wore them with socks. After that I wore them barefoot and they were fine. Unfortunately secret socks tend to slip off my heels when I walk: I guess because they are too small for my feet but they all come in one size only. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-those-white-yellow-oxfords-i-asked-about#post-563990 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 05:05:05 +0000 Diana 563990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! I love them! They will be perfect for summer and I can see them working with a lot of your wardrobe.<br /> I have rubbing issues with almost all closed-toe shoes worn without socks. What I love about oxfords is that you can wear secret socks with them, and it usually fixes a lot of the rubbing issues.

My thanks to your Granny. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-those-white-yellow-oxfords-i-asked-about#post-563970 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 04:25:47 +0000 Transcona Shannon 563970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay - someone used my potato stretching tip from my Grandma! Glad it worked for you Joy!</p> <p>I love these shoes Sveta - they've got a geeky-chic quality to them (I mean that in a good way). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-those-white-yellow-oxfords-i-asked-about#post-563965 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 04:21:32 +0000 Anonymous 563965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them! If the toe continues to rub, I wonder if you could have them stretched a bit. I managed to stretch a pair of shoes enough to be comfortable with a potato shoved inside, an idea someone posted some time ago. I left it there for about 3 days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-those-white-yellow-oxfords-i-asked-about#post-563964 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 04:21:09 +0000 Jem 563964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute! A big YAY from me! Where did you get them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-those-white-yellow-oxfords-i-asked-about#post-563960 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 04:17:13 +0000 Sveta 563960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I got to the store today and tried them on. They were so comforatble and soft and felt just like slippers. I have decided to buy them and mule over them at home.<br /> I decided to wear them in the house for the evening and see if they are comfortable. To my disappointment I felt that my big toe rubs against the top of the left one. However after wearing them for a couple of hours I don't feel it as much as before.<br /> Here are the pictures: I tried them with some of my summer things to see if they play nicely.<br /> What do you think: keep or return? </p>
