It's so good to see you! My Ryders are worn out, but I've also noticed that recently they are bothering the top of my foot. It's okay if I wear them with a sock, but otherwise they start to hurt me. Not sure why? </p> <p>I guess the verdict is for these both to go back and to keep looking. Thanks for the new information on peep-toes and for all the input! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off-cowgirl-vs-biker-chick/page/2#post-624398 Sun, 20 May 2012 15:39:38 +0000 lynne 624398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Ejects, and understand your need to replace your Dansko Ryders. I have them in both black and brown and I probably bought them after seeing a post of yours. Anyway, if you decide against the Ejects, how 'bout just replacing the Ryders? I still see them in stores. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off-cowgirl-vs-biker-chick/page/2#post-623717 Sat, 19 May 2012 05:18:45 +0000 rae 623717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I wonder if you can stretch the front strap of the shoe to allow more toe through? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off-cowgirl-vs-biker-chick/page/2#post-623702 Sat, 19 May 2012 05:02:18 +0000 ManidipaM 623702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I'm so sorry! Fellow wide-footed shoe hunter sends hugs!</p> <p>Those Fryes need the boot, and I see they got it.The Ejects, unfortunately, do look like a reject too --- sorry Sona for stealing your line! :-(</p> <p>I know exactly what is so silly about the design of those. I JUST chucked out the sandals a family-member-who-shall-not-be-named bought me for my wedding --- just slides with a wide strap across the forefoot, which I could never get my toes half-way into (ie, they didn't even make it all the way under that wide strap!). Nope, shoe designer being silly here and there too. Pass and try another, pretty as these were and the perfect vibe, colour and ankle strap detail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off-cowgirl-vs-biker-chick/page/2#post-623610 Sat, 19 May 2012 03:08:20 +0000 Anonymous 623610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Toe pas.... OMG I'm dying here.<br /> I know the shoe gods will favor you in finding a good looking pair of shoes, if you decide to return either one or both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off-cowgirl-vs-biker-chick/page/2#post-623533 Sat, 19 May 2012 01:43:53 +0000 velvetychocolate 623533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just wanted to say that I've learned something new here - that there is such a thing as a Toe-Pas. I had no idea!</p> <p>In the meantime Una - I was all set to vote for the Eject sandals over the orange boots, but the thing is - I think Angie has some good points. First is the region/lifestyle/climate factor - as in, how often will you really get to wear these? And then there's the peep toe that doesn't quite peep. I do like these shoes, and I think they are very UWP and perfect for you, but when you combine the fact that you probably won't get a whole lot of wear out of them given your lifestyle and climate PLUS the "non peeping peep toe" problem...Angie's smart to suggest passing on these. It's not that they aren't fab shoes, and very UWP etc. - just that they aren't a '10' for you for environmental reasons and fit reasons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off-cowgirl-vs-biker-chick/page/2#post-623515 Sat, 19 May 2012 01:04:53 +0000 christieanne 623515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If they are designed that way, it is sort of odd - like they put a hole in front of shoe for ventilation but never intended toes to show? I think they are cool but seem to have a fit issue.<br /> Sorry the orange Fryes didn't work out but now you can move on at least. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off-cowgirl-vs-biker-chick/page/2#post-623474 Sat, 19 May 2012 00:09:54 +0000 Angie 623474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>("Toe Pas" HAHAHAHAHAHA!)</p> <p>Perhaps this peep is poorly designed (although this is a common challenge with wider feet) - but the toe-less visual on a peep-toe this size does not work to my eye. The same way that toes "hanging over the front of a sandal" - and sometimes scraping the ground - is a bad fit too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off-cowgirl-vs-biker-chick/page/2#post-623431 Fri, 18 May 2012 23:19:22 +0000 rae 623431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I didn't think the shoe was designed for the toe to peep, either. Like Jonesy, from what I remembered of the Endless pic, I thought of it more as ventilation than a peep toe. Personally, I find toes hanging out *over* the edge of shoes rather horrifying, but I couldn't care less about not enough toe showing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off-cowgirl-vs-biker-chick#post-623429 Fri, 18 May 2012 23:17:36 +0000 MNsara 623429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw this at work, but can't log in there, so I came to cast my vote for the Ejects. </p> <p>Now I see you're discussing the toe space. I noticed that too, but is it a deal breaker? I mean the pic is closer to your toes than any person should ever be. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off-cowgirl-vs-biker-chick#post-623413 Fri, 18 May 2012 23:03:39 +0000 Transcona Shannon 623413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I've learned something new - AGAIN! I didn't even notice the peep toe issue. Thanks for pointing that out Angie! Sorry Una </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off-cowgirl-vs-biker-chick#post-623374 Fri, 18 May 2012 21:50:10 +0000 Anonymous 623374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Strange. I love the Ejects but for the toe issue. Could a cobbler do anything about it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off-cowgirl-vs-biker-chick#post-623345 Fri, 18 May 2012 21:27:29 +0000 catgirl 623345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jonesy, you are right - the opening is very "low" in height - I'm not sure whose toes would fit through there, even if my foot was narrower. I can't even get my fingers through it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off-cowgirl-vs-biker-chick#post-623344 Fri, 18 May 2012 21:25:25 +0000 Mo 623344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Didn't even take a second to glance at replies - the Ejects by at least 1000%! Maybe 1,000,000%. Absolutely NO contest. Period.<br /> yes, I have an opinion here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off-cowgirl-vs-biker-chick#post-623342 Fri, 18 May 2012 21:20:26 +0000 Jonesy 623342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, when I look at the pic of the sandals on endless.com, the gap where your toes are supposed to go is very thin (i.e., it looks like it was designed wrong, so the leather part is barely above the sole and it's just a little toe slit instead of a normal-sized opening), so you would have to have very flat, almost two-dimensional toes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off-cowgirl-vs-biker-chick#post-623340 Fri, 18 May 2012 21:17:03 +0000 Deborah 623340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una I love the Ejects but I see what Angie sees. I oftn encounter the same problem. I have small somewhat wide foot. The shoe does look too long. Im sorry because they are one of the most fab pairs of sandals I have seen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off-cowgirl-vs-biker-chick#post-623339 Fri, 18 May 2012 21:12:50 +0000 catgirl 623339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A toe-pas? (that's a pun on faux-pas, but doesn't come across as well in writing)</p> <p>Sona, I think my toes would eventually bust through. Maybe I need to get toe extensions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off-cowgirl-vs-biker-chick#post-623334 Fri, 18 May 2012 21:07:50 +0000 Sona 623334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wow. would've never thought. I'm learning about this peep toe etiquette from Angie too.<br /> your foot won't slip any further down into the toe box Una? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off-cowgirl-vs-biker-chick#post-623331 Fri, 18 May 2012 21:01:40 +0000 catgirl 623331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that's an issue that's never even occurred to me. I generally don't wear open-toed shoes, and I kind of liked the fact that these don't really have toe exposure. But if they look weird then back they'll have to go. Sounds like not showing toe is a shoe faux-pas of some kind. It's the same reason I don't wear pointy toed shoes or any kind of femme-y pumps.</p> <p>Sigh. Thanks for letting me know! It's so rare for me to love shoes (as opposed to boots)... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off-cowgirl-vs-biker-chick#post-623327 Fri, 18 May 2012 20:54:33 +0000 Janet 623327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I'm glad Angie said something, because I started reading the comments before posting and wondered if I was the only one bothered by the lack of toe showing in an open toe shoe. It's a shame because they are very cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off-cowgirl-vs-biker-chick#post-623326 Fri, 18 May 2012 20:52:01 +0000 Anonymous 623326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I'm not too crazy about either one. The fryes are too much of a color shock to work as a neutral and the sandals are too massive - too much going on between the wide ankle strap, the studs, the wooden platform and the fact they are black. I vote return on both. I think you can do better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off-cowgirl-vs-biker-chick#post-623325 Fri, 18 May 2012 20:50:11 +0000 Angie 623325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a common challenge with peep toes and wider feet. I'm afraid they get my nay vote, Una. That's not a small peep-toe opening. The shoes below show a small peep-toe opening. The fit of the Ejects are odd because your toes don't "peep". </p> <p>Sorry to be a mare </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off-cowgirl-vs-biker-chick#post-623316 Fri, 18 May 2012 20:25:03 +0000 modgrl 623316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Curse of the fat little feet strikes again.

Ejects seem to run huge! My toes are not showing because there really isn't that much of an opening at the toe, and my feet are wide. But there is not that much space between my toes and the end of the shoe, either. I should take a photo from above.</p> <p><a href="http://www.endless.com/Eject%20Womens%20E-13658%20Ankle-Strap%20Sandal/dp/B004BJ39D6/ref=rsl_1-0/?fromPage=mythings&#038;selectVariations=1&#038;refURL=%2Fmythings%2F&#038;asins=B004BJ39D6,B005GUAN92,B0052J1E2M,B003TDZR26,B004Z4JTQS,B003FMUPMS,B004BIY1MU,B004MKRIBS,B004UKZKG0,B004CKJPYQ,B002PJ57V6,B002PJ5824,B006B57YEI,B005CMI558,B004LDLWMW,B00352KJI8,B0037UZL4A" rel="nofollow">http://www.endless.com/Eject%2.....B0037UZL4A</a></p> <p>Angie, these would replace my Dansko Ryders in black, which are falling apart:</p> <p><a href="http://www.endless.com/Dansko%20Womens%20Ryder%20Brown%20Leather/dp/B004JRPED8/ref=rsl_1-0/?fromPage=mythings&#038;selectVariations=1&#038;refURL=%2Fmythings%2F&#038;asins=B004JRPED8,B004BJ39D6,B005GUAN92,B0052J1E2M,B003TDZR26,B004Z4JTQS,B003FMUPMS,B004BIY1MU,B004MKRIBS,B004UKZKG0,B004CKJPYQ,B002PJ57V6,B002PJ5824,B006B57YEI,B005CMI558,B004LDLWMW,B00352KJI8,B0037UZL4A" rel="nofollow">http://www.endless.com/Dansko%.....B0037UZL4A</a></p> <p>And yes, I would wear them to work.

The sandals are cool, but they're too long for your feet.</p> <p>BTW, Frye Taylors are pretty similar but much narrower at the top (because they zip). Half price in a lovely eggplant on endless, if anyone has size 11 feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off-cowgirl-vs-biker-chick#post-623302 Fri, 18 May 2012 20:00:17 +0000 Traci 623302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to ask about the fit of the sandals too. I have to size down atleast a full size in sandals I've learned this year. Otherwise, I love the sandals, don't love the boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off-cowgirl-vs-biker-chick#post-623295 Fri, 18 May 2012 19:49:24 +0000 Angie 623295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, why can't we see your toes in the sandals? Too narrow? Too long? I like the way the rest of the sandal fits, though. Great ankle strap! </p> <p>Also, I have to keep you on the straight and narrow - so bear with me :)</p> <p>- Are sandals really on your shopping list?<br /> - If so, do they work with your work wear capsules? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off-cowgirl-vs-biker-chick#post-623291 Fri, 18 May 2012 19:44:00 +0000 rae 623291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Biker Biker! The orange of the Fryes is a lot brighter than I expected and so not working as a virtual nude as I expected. They'd probably look great with skinnies or straight legs, but if your going for a bare-legged spring look here, the Ejects win by a mile! Hawt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-off-cowgirl-vs-biker-chick#post-623290 Fri, 18 May 2012 19:43:37 +0000 Sona 623290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>no to fryes.
