I've tried them in the past and just do not like the feel of&nbsp;the non-bending sole. </p> <p>Thanks smittie! </p> <p></p> <p>p.s. I ordered a few from Zappos&nbsp;..see finds below...we'll see if any work...decided to go in a casual direction because I already have nude dressy shoes for spring/summer and don't wear them much because my lifestyle is so casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-closed-toe-footwear-for-casual-dresses#post-1814124 Fri, 09 Jun 2017 20:12:57 +0000 Anonymous 1814124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of the second batch, I really like the perforated metallic ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-closed-toe-footwear-for-casual-dresses#post-1814120 Fri, 09 Jun 2017 20:06:45 +0000 JAileen 1814120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course I'm going to suggest sandal clogs. I think they work well with both casual dresses and pants. I like them when it's a little cooler and regular sandals aren't warm enough. If they work for your feet, they're heavenly. And they do come in other colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-closed-toe-footwear-for-casual-dresses#post-1814111 Fri, 09 Jun 2017 19:23:06 +0000 Chris987 1814111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>harmonica, I like those Kate Spade ones too although that brand is a bit outside my normal budget. Great idea on the dresses challenge...maybe I'll do that. </p> <p>The cat, I agree that loafer would look great with dresses.</p> <p>Agree with you isabel, I don't much like traveling with open toed shoes, especially through airports, but might wear them a bit once I arrive at my destination. Both of your choices are really nice, and I just created finds for them so I can remember to consider them. (see finds below) &nbsp;I too have some perforated Lucky boots that I would wear with a skirt if it were the right skirt....(last find below)....</p> <p>Smittie, thanks and yes I've tried on some of those lace-up-the-ankle espadrilles. I didn't find them all that comfortable or stable on the foot but never say never. </p> <p></p> <p>....hmm....perforated footwear seems to be all the rage these days and it makes so much sense for warmer months...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-closed-toe-footwear-for-casual-dresses#post-1814025 Fri, 09 Jun 2017 14:11:50 +0000 Anonymous 1814025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the espadrilles would work well but I would choose one without prints on them, as your "baseline" model.<br /> I also like the pointy toe flats you show. They are only a little bit dressy, and look like they would work really well with the dresses you show.</p> <p>Have you thought about espadrilles with the ties that cross across the ankle and leg a few times? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-closed-toe-footwear-for-casual-dresses#post-1813891 Thu, 08 Jun 2017 22:52:46 +0000 Isabel 1813891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And I LOVE wearing these with dresses and skirts :</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017UT489C/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1">https://www.amazon.com/gp/prod.....#038;psc=1</a></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-closed-toe-footwear-for-casual-dresses#post-1813888 Thu, 08 Jun 2017 22:40:05 +0000 Isabel 1813888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great suggestions here.

(Personally, I would prefer silver, but I would admire the golden one on other women.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-closed-toe-footwear-for-casual-dresses#post-1813765 Thu, 08 Jun 2017 13:15:19 +0000 harmonica 1813765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love what's in you're finds, esp the metallic Kate Spade cut-out loafers.

I've worn AK Sport shoes in the past although I find I now want more padding in the sole than they typically have...insoles would fix that. Can't believe Crocs made something that pretty! </p> <p>Thanks Jenni NZ and iozz_oz.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-closed-toe-footwear-for-casual-dresses#post-1813763 Thu, 08 Jun 2017 12:53:35 +0000 Anonymous 1813763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear low vamp loafers with dresses but especially use athletic flats, often with a narrow strap across the foot that helps hold them on firmly when walking fast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-closed-toe-footwear-for-casual-dresses#post-1813635 Wed, 07 Jun 2017 21:53:03 +0000 lozz_oz 1813635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, I agree - your selection are spot on and can all be worn with casual dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-closed-toe-footwear-for-casual-dresses#post-1813619 Wed, 07 Jun 2017 20:24:16 +0000 Jenni NZ 1813619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The gold ones with the cut-outs!

Good advice on tonal footwear. I saw some sneakers like your find on someone the other day and they were really beautiful. Will have to look for something like that.</p> <p>Angie great suggestions, and I like the lighter tones of your footwear too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-closed-toe-footwear-for-casual-dresses#post-1813542 Wed, 07 Jun 2017 15:31:38 +0000 Angie 1813542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shoes you've pulled together here will work well, Chris.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-closed-toe-footwear-for-casual-dresses#post-1813541 Wed, 07 Jun 2017 15:30:19 +0000 Angie 1813541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear loafers and sneakers with my casual dresses almost exclusively. Here are the exact dresses and shoes from my wardrobe. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-closed-toe-footwear-for-casual-dresses#post-1813530 Wed, 07 Jun 2017 14:54:45 +0000 Inge 1813530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All these look like they could work with your fun dresses, Chris. I've also found for me personally that a higher vamp can work with my larger ankles if I keep the colour of the shoe tonal with my skin (like the slip-on sneakers below). Just thought I'd mention that.</p> <p>I love the colours of the shoes you have picked, and wanted to add that if you'd like to go with a higher contrast colour, red, green, yellow, cobalt blue etc. would look beautiful with these dresses as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seeking-closed-toe-footwear-for-casual-dresses#post-1813478 Wed, 07 Jun 2017 12:53:09 +0000 Chris987 1813478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only have a few dresses, mostly casual, and I think part&nbsp;of why I don’t wear them much has to do with footwear. </p> <p>I do wear them with sandals in summer, and&nbsp;the ones with sleeves with&nbsp;booties and tights in&nbsp;cooler seasons. I have sneakers I could wear them with but don’t do it often, not crazy about that look on me for some reason. I have a few dressier shoe options also.&nbsp; I have a few pairs of loafers but they don't look good with a skirt/dress to my eye. I&nbsp;would like a low-ish heel closed toe option that is NOT sandals, booties,&nbsp;sneakers, ballet flats (fall off my feet), or Maryjanes (poison eye). For&nbsp;loafer style shoes I want a vamp that comes up midway on the foot, sort of&nbsp;halfway from the toe cleavage line to the ankle. A long vamp right up to the ankle<br /> tends to make my ankles look thicker than they already are.</p> <p>The styles that would seem to work are&nbsp;loafers, moccasins, espadrilles,, slip on sneakers.&nbsp;&nbsp;The description would&nbsp;be something line this…<i><b>Low heel, closed toe, mid-foot vamp, more casual than dressy. </b></i>Maybe an ankle&nbsp;strap but not a Maryjane strap. </p> <p>I’ve shown a few inspirational finds below, as well as most of my casual dresses.&nbsp;</p> <p>Would&nbsp;love&nbsp;to hear any and all suggestions!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p>
