These can&nbsp;have &nbsp;&nbsp;stacked heel from 1/2 to 1-1/2 " or so. The ties keep the shoes on while striding, and a nude color + the lower-vamped styles lengthen the leg.<br />(Disclaimer: I've not found my perfect pair yet--returned 4 promising pairs because they did not fit my feet). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-advice-1#post-1027651 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 16:24:11 +0000 cbayna 1027651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you are up to it, try some low heeled wedges, they provide more support and stability when walking and standing in prolonged periods of time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-advice-1#post-1027648 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 16:16:50 +0000 DonnaF 1027648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So if no high vamp booties does that also mean no higher vamped footwear period?&nbsp; Like shooties and oxfords?&nbsp; What about slipper/smoking flats or other flats?<a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/born-ginni-flat/3609189?origin=category-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=&amp;resultback=3509&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-browseresults-_-3_12_B" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/bo.....s-_-3_12_B</a> &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-advice-1#post-1027561 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:38:23 +0000 Anonymous 1027561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the same issues as you. I opt for lower-heeled (say 1.5 to 2.5 inches, no more; find your comfort level) slingback pumps. For the long walking, I'd wear comfy shoes and change when I got to the office. That's what I used to do when I had to walk a lot like that on a daily basis. No, it's not stylish, but the people who judge what you wear while walking are not your friends. Just sayin' </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-advice-1#post-1027521 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:21:30 +0000 Saretta 1027521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello all. I am in need of some advice: I love wearing slim dresses with straight skirts (similar to the one in the photo). In the cold weather I usually wear tall boots with this style of dress. In the hot summer I wear flat sandals or sandal heels in the evening.</p> <p>My dilemma is: what kind of shoe to wear in the spring/fall. Specifically fall, since that's the season coming up next in my area. Two important considerations: I do not like low-vamp ballerinas, because they fall off my feet when I walk; nor do I like the look of high vamp booties with a skirt or dress. The shoes also have to be comfortable for walking because I have to walk several long city blocks from the train station to my place of work and then stand up several hours while teaching.</p> <p>I know, I've got a lot of issues... Any ideas you all might have will be much appreciated. </p>
