I thought the Rockport ones were Cole Haan just from the look. I have some blue metallic ones that I really enjoy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-edit-refresh#post-1967677 Mon, 22 Oct 2018 20:11:43 +0000 rachylou 1967677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also liked the look of the light grey oxfords. I don’t know I’d like elastic laces either. Oh well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-edit-refresh#post-1967667 Mon, 22 Oct 2018 19:25:35 +0000 cheryl 1967667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look of those gray Naturalizer's but just read your update. So disappointing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-edit-refresh#post-1967569 Mon, 22 Oct 2018 14:08:43 +0000 Angie 1967569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for the loafers and sneakers.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-edit-refresh#post-1967469 Mon, 22 Oct 2018 01:41:31 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1967469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A quick update: the loafers and sneakers are keepers, but both oxfords are going back. The Rockport ones are astonishingly light, but I actually ordered the light gray and I just can't see them being very practical. The gray Naturalizers have elastic 'laces' and I don't love the look. So I'm still keeping an eye out for some oxfords, but at least I'm in a pretty decent shape shoe-wise overall now. Now to save up my pennies for workout sneakers... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-edit-refresh#post-1966050 Wed, 17 Oct 2018 12:47:36 +0000 Janet 1966050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, what is up with shoes that used to be perfectly comfortable, suddenly developing issues? That's happening to me quite a bit over the last year or so, and it's messing with my footwear collection. I hope your new choices work out!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-edit-refresh#post-1966043 Wed, 17 Oct 2018 12:21:55 +0000 Wise Shopper 1966043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's so sad that none of your shoes fit anymore. I would be devastated!<br />I like the Ayva Oxford - comfortable but elegant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-edit-refresh#post-1965938 Wed, 17 Oct 2018 04:05:49 +0000 cindysmith 1965938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, new shoes They're pretty!</p> <p>Yes, I too am finding that shoes that once felt fine feel NOT-FINE now. It sucks, but it means I can shop for shoes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-edit-refresh#post-1965860 Wed, 17 Oct 2018 00:00:55 +0000 Angie 1965860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WELL DONE, and lovely to see you post again, <b>Laura.&nbsp;</b></p> <p><b></b><b></b>YES.&nbsp;Shoes can be comfy one&nbsp;season and not the&nbsp;next.

Or maybe I'm just getting old...</p> <p>I've gotten rid of some of my oxfords, loafers and ballet flats, and demoted others to special occasion wear. Several of my sneakers are past their prime, too, but I'll wait a little while to replace those as I'm not working out much outside of work (seasonal job at an orchard farm store which provides plenty of exercise walking and hauling boxes and crates of apples everywhere).&nbsp;</p> <p>I had already ordered a pair of Skechers sneakers for use at work -&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.skechers.com/en-us/style/77217/work-relaxed-fit-comfort-flex-pro-hc-sr/bkw">https://www.skechers.com/en-us.....-hc-sr/bkw</a>&nbsp;.&nbsp;Highly recommended if you need stain-resistance and a nonslip bottom; I did add an orthotic insole for additional support for all day.&nbsp;</p> <p>So I started looking for smart casual shoes that would work for the rest of my life, where I try to be a bit more dressed up. Nordstrom was price matching Naturalizer last week, so I've ordered the attached finds - and the loafers in a fuschia that seems to be sold out now - in hopes most of them will work. I already have the slip-on sneaks in two other colors, so those should be a slam dunk. I also picked up a last-season color of Born ballet flats at Garnet Hill at a sizeable discount. I think these will be very versatile and work well as a replacement for the brown ballet flats I donated since they always rub my toes the wrong way and cause blisters.</p>
