Crazy about sandals! I was attracted to the high shine of the FitFlops, too. I don't think they're adjustable and my feet are low volume, so we'll see. </p> <p>Please note: I only plan to keep three pairs. I live in a shopping desert, hence the ridiculous purchase today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-shopping-what-do-you-think-of-these/page/2#post-1621573 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 23:10:37 +0000 Anonymous 1621573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First I'm attracted to the 8 pairs part of the title, then I'm completely distracted by the metallic FitFlops, which I LOVE. &nbsp;They make comfy sandals (I have a suede pair) and those are such a great colour! &nbsp;Ack!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-shopping-what-do-you-think-of-these/page/2#post-1621556 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 22:49:33 +0000 JAileen 1621556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smittie, I went a little crazy!</p> <p>Angie, so they've gone from super trendy to a more normal popularity? BTW, I ordered the Soffts you recommended. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-shopping-what-do-you-think-of-these#post-1621549 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 22:39:00 +0000 Angie 1621549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No. Birkies are not on their way out. They have however had their fashion moment. I like the updated wedge styles too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-shopping-what-do-you-think-of-these#post-1621528 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 22:17:12 +0000 Anonymous 1621528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>haha!

I ordered eight pairs of sandals. I will probably keep only two pairs. Three at most. No seriously, no more than three.</p> <p>1 through 4 were from Zappos, 5 and 6 were from Nordstrom, and 7 and 8 were impulse buys from Sierra Trading Post. Sale goggles for sure. 7, the Tevas, are grey leather. I shouldn't have ordered 8 because I like the Arizona style best. Oh well. </p> <p>When they all arrive I'll post pictures of them.</p> <p>1,2 Naot Kayla<br /> 3 Vionic Jura<br /> 4 Fitflop Aix Slide<br /> 5 Birkenstock Arizona<br /> 6 Sofft Mirabelle (Angie recommendation)<br /> 7 Teva Cabrillo Crossover<br /> 8 Birkenstock Florida </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-shopping-what-do-you-think-of-these#post-1621359 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 17:17:08 +0000 JAileen 1621359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie, I will. Do you think Birkenstocks are on their way out? I've noticed fewer colors offered lately. I had some grey Birkenstoks in my Nordstrom shopping bag and added these Soffts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-shopping-what-do-you-think-of-these#post-1621352 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 17:11:00 +0000 Angie 1621352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perhaps try these.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-shopping-what-do-you-think-of-these#post-1621327 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 16:45:08 +0000 JAileen 1621327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elle, thank you. I like 2 also. The collective mind here, though, prefers 1, possibly because of the sole. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-shopping-what-do-you-think-of-these#post-1621310 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 16:21:14 +0000 Elle 1621310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the collective mind of YLF. &nbsp;Here is my order of preference: &nbsp;2, 5, 1, 7. &nbsp;I don't know how much walking you will be doing but I find Naot a very comfortable brand for walking.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-shopping-what-do-you-think-of-these#post-1621302 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 16:01:56 +0000 JAileen 1621302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smittie, I prefer the top of 2 over 1, but the sole of 1 over 2. Or if they came in dark blue!</p> <p>Re very shiny metallic shoes - I love them! Angie has some shiny oxfords and I wanted to get them. And Una has some shiny Birkies, and I wanted them, too. I think I'll order 7 and see. In person they may look quite different, or they may not be comfortable, and then shininess is a moot point. I tend to wear silver jewelry, especially after I went grey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-shopping-what-do-you-think-of-these#post-1621295 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 15:53:33 +0000 Anonymous 1621295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's funny, I prefer 2 over 1 I think I like the low-contrast. If you're going to be dog walking in soil, or doing any non-pavement walking in these, I would definitely get a dark sole.&nbsp;</p> <p>I wonder if you might like something bright and shiny as in #7. Do you wear metallic jewelry? I remember buying a pair of sandals with a gold medallion on them a few years ago. I purged them because they were too flashy for my style. I am Queen Anti-Bling, and don't even like a lot of hardware on my handbags. But objectively, I loved those sandals. They were just not me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-shopping-what-do-you-think-of-these#post-1621289 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 15:33:47 +0000 JAileen 1621289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Betty. I think I'm going to order 1 instead of 2. </p> <p>Smittie, thank you. I think the extreme shininess of 7 is what attracted me, and the contrast with the brown leather. Do you think a more muted silver is better? I also think that's why I was attracted to 2 over 1. Hardly anyone likes 2. Part of it might be the white sole which I don't care for.</p> <p>ETA: Brie, you just answered my question to Smittie! The white sole is not as attractive as the dark sole. BTW, I have 1 and 2 in different colors and they are super comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-shopping-what-do-you-think-of-these#post-1621288 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 15:31:22 +0000 BrieN 1621288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure what else is in your closet, but pair #1 look comfortable, the metallic goes with a lot of different outfits, and the snake patterning keep them interesting. I like the darker sole with the silver. &nbsp;</p> <p>As I'm sure you &nbsp;noted, from the Zappos website, It looks like they run a little narrow.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-shopping-what-do-you-think-of-these#post-1621286 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 15:16:26 +0000 Anonymous 1621286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JAileen: The non-3/4s are all really nice, and in particular I like 7. I have a sweet eye for the crossed leather. </p> <p>Now that I'm looking at 7, it looks very mirror-like, while the others have a more subdued siler. That's something to consider when making your decision.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-shopping-what-do-you-think-of-these#post-1621284 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 15:14:10 +0000 Anonymous 1621284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 gets my vote. I'd pass on #3 and #4. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-shopping-what-do-you-think-of-these#post-1621282 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 15:12:01 +0000 JAileen 1621282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn, thanks. I thought 3 and 4 might come across as nerdy chic, like Birkenstocks. YLF has given them thumbs down, for the most part.</p> <p>Style Fan, I have a couple of pairs of 1 in different colors and they are very comfortable. I highly recommend them. If you look on Zappos they have over 1000 reviews with nearly a 5 star average. </p> <p>Maneera, thank you. 7 caught my eye with their extreme shininess. I assume they would be comfy, but the only way to find out is to order, so I think I will.</p> <p>Cheryl, thank you. YLF has indeed spoken. 3 and 4 only in an emergency! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-shopping-what-do-you-think-of-these#post-1621188 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 11:38:32 +0000 dakotacheryl 1621188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I nixed 3 and 4 as soon as I saw the photos, then read through the replies and saw that the fabbers concur LOL...Great selection here!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-shopping-what-do-you-think-of-these#post-1621174 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 10:47:09 +0000 Maneera 1621174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1 and 7 the best. But if you want sandals that work for lots of walking and are not too keen on looking super-stylish, I suggest you try 4 too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-shopping-what-do-you-think-of-these#post-1621172 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 10:31:24 +0000 Style Fan 1621172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1, #5 and #7 are my favourites.&nbsp; My favourite based on looks alone is #1.&nbsp; I have a pair of Fit Flops and they are one of my most comfortable sandals.&nbsp; That is saying something.&nbsp; I have feet that are in constant pain.&nbsp; I am considering buying another pair because no other sandal has been comfortable.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-shopping-what-do-you-think-of-these#post-1621141 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 05:52:50 +0000 Brooklyn 1621141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1 and 5 the best. I actually don't mind no 4. I can see that they are not uber fashionable but they do look uber comfortable. It depends how much walking you will be doing in them. I don't think no 6 would be very suitable for serious walking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-shopping-what-do-you-think-of-these#post-1621103 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 04:01:51 +0000 JAileen 1621103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, thank you. I won't order 3 and 4. They have received the collective thumbs down from YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-shopping-what-do-you-think-of-these#post-1621087 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 03:47:20 +0000 Tanya 1621087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like 1,2, 5 and 7.&nbsp; I would stay away from 3 and 4. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-shopping-what-do-you-think-of-these#post-1621083 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 03:34:42 +0000 JAileen 1621083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, thanks! I'll look into them. I have some denim Birkies that are quite faded. A friend thought they were purple! So I definitely need to replace them.</p> <p>Rabbit, thanks. I guess the blue ones are kind of dated. A friend had a pair of the Clarks over 20 years ago. So maybe they are classic, or maybe they are dated. I'm glad to be steered clear of frumpiness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-shopping-what-do-you-think-of-these#post-1621081 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 03:29:24 +0000 JAileen 1621081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ, I think my footwear needs to elevate the rest of the outfit!</p> <p>I just showed my husband the sandals and asked what he thought and he said, " well, they look like sandals." This is why I need YLF. Thank you, Angie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-shopping-what-do-you-think-of-these#post-1621080 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 03:29:04 +0000 rabbit 1621080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1, 2, 5, and 7 look promising to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sandal-shopping-what-do-you-think-of-these#post-1621077 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 03:25:23 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1621077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Born had a dark blue sandal last summer - if you search for Born Eryka you can find it a few different places although only in some sizes.

I wonder how comfortable they are? </p> <p>Laura, I was afraid of that (3 and 4). I want some dark blue ones, but maybe they aren't it. I thought 6 might be comfy, but I hadn't thought about the thin straps. </p>
