She's so cute! &nbsp;However, yes - almost the exact opposite of my style.&nbsp; I am not at all cute, but more RATE and maybe even a smidge&nbsp;edgy. &nbsp;I wear a lot of neutrals and black and JEANS, lots of jeans.<br /><b>unfrumped </b>- yes, bigger toe boxes FTW! &nbsp;Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. &nbsp;I'm miserable if my feet are unhapppy.</p> <p>I should probably get over myself and start posting photos here as I know it would help with my style journey in general. &nbsp;I am just a little&nbsp;shy and as a working mom of two active boys, also simply do not have time for photos most days. &nbsp;Plus, I work from home and sometimes default to uber-casual (def not photo worthy!). &nbsp;But I am a regular reader here as I have been trying to up my style game a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/roundishsquare-toe---hopelessly-out-of-date#post-1338571 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 14:49:17 +0000 Suz 1338571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they read classic enough that if the rest of your outfit is current, they will work. They have a bit of a chelsea boot shape which is great. (I have a sugar eye for all and any chelsea boots!!)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/roundishsquare-toe---hopelessly-out-of-date#post-1338532 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 13:14:46 +0000 unfrumped 1338532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm watching with interest because I'm usually pushing the envelope on wearing bigger toe box than msy be trending, and trying to see how I can adjust the rest of the outfit to make it look more intentional.<br /> I'm wondering also if amping up an edgy component elsewhere, and what are some good ideas for that,<br /> or doing Sporty Luxe or something, is the ticket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/roundishsquare-toe---hopelessly-out-of-date#post-1338501 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 11:43:23 +0000 Cristin 1338501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A style blogger I love, Lilli at Frocks &amp; Frou Frou,&nbsp;wears these exact boots with tights &amp; dresses and sometimes with jeans, though her style is more twee--she's not really a rolled relaxed skinnies girl, when she wears jeans it's for some vavavoom. They read very 60s mod &amp; fresh on her, not dumpy but pleasingly retro. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/roundishsquare-toe---hopelessly-out-of-date#post-1338306 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 01:29:25 +0000 Tierra 1338306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the replies. :-)<br /> K. Period. - yes, toe shapes ARE hard. I have square toe Frye engineer boots that, trend-wise, feel just fine. As you said, classic. But I can't wear them for long w/o foot pain. :-(<br /> These Aerosoles are a bit different as they are booties, just plain, no "moto-ish" tendencies. I'm in my 40s but I try to be current. These would be worn with my distressed boyfriends or rolled relaxed skinnies.<br /> Keep the opinions coming! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/roundishsquare-toe---hopelessly-out-of-date#post-1338248 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 00:17:55 +0000 K. Period. 1338248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know what you mean, Tierra. &nbsp;FWIW, Annagybe has a pair of light blue&nbsp;Acne boots that have a squared toe and they look current the way that she wears them. Right now, I feel like (to my eye) the square toe&nbsp;looks current when paired with moto styling. &nbsp;And I think a square toe moto boot is a classic. &nbsp;If you wear them with edgier clothing these will probably read as current. &nbsp;If you pair them with more conservative or everyday styles, they might read as dated. &nbsp;</p> <p>Toe shapes are hard. &nbsp;If you have a sugar eye for a style, it will always seem a little current because you'll be able to find it in stores and you'll be able to find a few examples of it styled well. &nbsp;(I know. I&nbsp;have a sugar eye for pointy toes. I may give them up for a span, but as soon as they are a fringe trend, I find them.) &nbsp;When a shape isn't (sorry!) squarely on trend, it just takes more work. &nbsp;I think these would take more work. &nbsp;However, I think you could make them work. &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/roundishsquare-toe---hopelessly-out-of-date#post-1338233 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 00:05:47 +0000 always trying 1338233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am no expert, but to me this is a classic shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/roundishsquare-toe---hopelessly-out-of-date#post-1338219 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 23:49:24 +0000 Urbanfae 1338219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look fine to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/roundishsquare-toe---hopelessly-out-of-date#post-1338212 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 23:44:17 +0000 ironkurtin 1338212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't mind the toe shape.&nbsp; Not sure why you think it's so unstylish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/roundishsquare-toe---hopelessly-out-of-date#post-1338210 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 23:43:01 +0000 Tierra 1338210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have very fussy feet and was looking for some casual ALL DAY type ankle boots. &nbsp;I found some Aersole booties that are&nbsp;SO, sooo, comfy - like slippers almost. &nbsp;But, the toes are a rounded square that I know is not a super on-trend shape.<br />They are <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/aerosoles-duble-trouble-booties?ID=591766&amp;CategoryID=13247#fn=sp%3D1%26spc%3D1%26kws%3Daerosoles%20duble%20trouble%20booties%26slotId%3D">these boots</a>, in black suede.<br />I have a couple "Rag&amp;Bone-style" boots (with an almond toe) that I wear when wanting to be stylish/dressier ... but for everyday in our very casual and not-very-stylish town --- are these too awful?<br />Let me say that I do think&nbsp;that the black suede "masks" a bit of the unstylish shape as it somehow seems less obvious than it is in&nbsp;leather and in the other colorways.<br />Thoughts? &nbsp;Please be honest! &nbsp;:-) </p>
