These are my first pair of nice, higher quality boots. I think I just need to get used to them.</p> <p>Glad to hear that I was right about my hesitation with the black pants and brown shoes. I think the search will continue for the perfect pair of black shoes. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-and-boots-kr-and-questions#post-707856 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 01:20:49 +0000 Angie 707856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, heel slippage is normal. Personally, I love my heels to slip in boots. I find the room very comfortable. You can add an insert if you like. Love the Fryes on you!</p> <p>I like all the other shoes too! Not loving the brown Fidjis with the black pants though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-and-boots-kr-and-questions#post-707830 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 01:02:54 +0000 KathyL 707830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really want to love the fryes. I think I have 90 days to return with amazon so I will walk around the house (with a/c turned up!) and see how they feel. I don't think sizing down will help because they fit fine in toe area with socks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-and-boots-kr-and-questions#post-707156 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 14:07:27 +0000 Irene 707156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't love any of the first pairs but I might be biased or something, so don't listen to me here.</p> <p>I dislike pairings of black&amp;brown, and especially with shoes and pants. </p> <p>As for the boots, I have a similar pair in cognac, and as lovely as they are, they don't fit my feet. I can wear them for a couple of hours, but they are not half as comfy as my black riding boots, and they were quite pricey. It's the style. I have heel slippage too. Mine are hard on the soles, do not bend very well and need insoles and thick socks to work for me. As much as I like them, I regret getting them, so if you don't think they will be comfortable for you, I would return.</p> <p>PS: I bought my boots in my normal size, then went back to the store and sized down. They are shorter on my very slim feet but still too big overall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-and-boots-kr-and-questions#post-707147 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 14:00:13 +0000 KathyL 707147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cora, my hair is black. </p> <p>Diana, I agree about the others looking unbalanced somehow, especially the clarks. I tried the Fidjis with black pants, and it just felt off to me but I wasn't sure if it was a psychological thing. Prior to YLF, I had brown and black shoes and that was it. Now I'm experimenting with other colors, but I don't think brown shoes with black pants will work for me. I guess I'm not used to clogs, but I will wear the Fryes around the house with socks to see how it goes. </p> <p>I might keep the Fidjis for a little while and see how they work with my brown/tan pants. </p> <p>Thanks for chiming in </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-and-boots-kr-and-questions#post-707146 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 13:59:18 +0000 Sara L. 707146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first two pairs of shoes the best, especially the first pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-and-boots-kr-and-questions#post-707119 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 13:31:25 +0000 Glory 707119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the last shoe the best with number 2 close behind, but like Diana the colour would not work for me, unless they were more cognac. I love the boots - I have the exact same ones and the heel slips a bit but improves over wearing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-and-boots-kr-and-questions#post-707002 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 04:45:27 +0000 jayne 707002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved the clarks and the boots. But also the fidji ..which surprises me as they are not my usual style...so I say keep fidji and boots </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-and-boots-kr-and-questions#post-706996 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 04:35:28 +0000 Diana 706996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Fidjis the best for shape and style. However, for me personally, the color would be a dealbreaker. I never wear dark brown and every pair of dark brown shoes I've ever had has become an orphan. I don't technically mind brown and black together but I like the brown to be lighter so there is higher contrast. </p> <p>I'm not crazy about the other two pairs of pumps - they both look slightly unbalanced in shape to me, especially the first pair. </p> <p>I think the boots look good! I have many pairs of boots that slip in the heel and it's never been a problem for me - in fact I think heel slippage is inevitable in this type of pull-on boot, since otherwise you can't get them on at all. I ALWAYS wear socks in my boots though, so if you like to go sockless I can't offer any advice. You just have to get used to walking in them - if you ever wear danskos or other clog-like shoes you probably know how to walk in them anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-and-boots-kr-and-questions#post-706994 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 04:26:59 +0000 Caro in Oz 706994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the brown ones on you. What colour is your hair &amp; do you wear brown clothing/belts/accessories? If you do have brown hair or wear brown then I think the brown would be great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-and-boots-kr-and-questions#post-706966 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 03:30:46 +0000 deb 706966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 5 - 7. I have found that when my heal slips in a boot or shoe, I end up with blister then never wear them again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-and-boots-kr-and-questions#post-706958 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 03:14:03 +0000 Deborah 706958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I like them all.#3/4 are stunners. </p> <p>Boots look great but they sound like they might be too big? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-and-boots-kr-and-questions#post-706949 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 03:06:28 +0000 KathyL 706949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just got an order of shoes in the mail. I really need a nice pair of comfy shoes for work that are fashionable but don't look like matronly shoes. I have two pairs that I usually wear, a pair of pumps from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Clarks-Womens-Sugar-Plum-Black/dp/B002CMLKKS/ref=sr_1_2?s=shoes&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1346294581&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=clarks">Clarks</a> and a wedge pair from <a href="http://www.aerosoles.com/eng/product/ultimatem/ultimatem">Aerosoles</a>. Unfortunately, the Aerosoles are not as comfy as I hoped they would be. The Clarks are comfortable but I'm questioning how stylish they are. I would like a pair that would work with trousers or skirts. </p> <p>So here is what I got:</p> <p>1-2. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004Y4GZ66/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i01">Aerosole Cheery Tomato Pump</a><br /> Not sure about the pointy toes ...</p> <p>3-4. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0070TXSDU/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00">indigo by Clarks Women's Town Club Pump</a>'<br /> The heels on this are a bit high for me at 2.75 inches. </p> <p>5-7. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0060I94H6/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00">Fidji E783 pumps</a><br /> I like these the best, but they are brown. I was really looking for black shoes, but I wanted to try out the Fidji brand. What do you think of brown shoes with black pants? It's not something that I usually do. I have slightly more black and gray pants, but I do have brown/tan pants that I can pair them with. </p> <p>8-9. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000IVASWG/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01">Frye Veronica Slouch Boots</a></p> <p>I have been wanting a pair of Frye boots for a year! I They fit pretty well but there is a lot of heel slippage when I walk. Is that normal? I wore them with a pair of socks and a shoe insert which helped a little but my heel moved a lot. They are pretty comfy, but the leather is pretty stiff. </p> <p>So, what do you all think? Any of these worth keeping? Thanks for looking </p>
