I think I'll let #3 &amp;7 go and look for something new in the luggage color. Pair 1 will go into the maybe category and if I haven't worn them much by the middle of June, out they go.<br /> And of course, I did buy 2 new pairs of flats this weekend, much much different than any of these shoes that I posted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-shoes-shoeshave-these-past-their-wear-by-date#post-907861 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 21:34:29 +0000 Diana 907861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ None of these look overtly dated to me. I would personally ditch 1, 3, and 7 but that's more of a personal preference thing.&nbsp; (#7 is just that I don't like white shoes, but you might and that is fine.)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-shoes-shoeshave-these-past-their-wear-by-date#post-907858 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 21:30:42 +0000 Suz 907858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So interesting to read the range of responses. I think they say more about each of us than they do about the shoes themselves!&nbsp;<br /><br />I do think #1 is tired looking and I also think #3 is perhaps not worth fixing up. But if you know you like the colour you could look out for a new shoe in this shade!&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />Even if #7 is not completely on trend, it is close enough, and would be fun (if it is comfy).&nbsp;<br /><br />I think the others are all fine if you wear them and enjoy them. Though patent is usually perceived as dressy, I don't find the patent ones #2 particularly dressy because of the hemp wedge. To me they are fairly casual.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-shoes-shoeshave-these-past-their-wear-by-date#post-907850 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 21:22:01 +0000 bj1111 907850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love 1,2,6</p> <p>Never got into the perforations, so no to 7, but a different reason from denise. Similarly, never got into the strappy gladiators with heels, so 4,5 are not faves.</p> <p>3 has a lot of less on-trend elements, but i've been hauling out my uber pointy toes with a long nose, so what do i know! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-shoes-shoeshave-these-past-their-wear-by-date#post-907844 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 21:18:21 +0000 Nicole D 907844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like them all! &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-shoes-shoeshave-these-past-their-wear-by-date#post-907831 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 21:06:00 +0000 Transcona Shannon 907831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think 2, 4, 5, and 6 still look current.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-shoes-shoeshave-these-past-their-wear-by-date#post-907814 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 20:46:15 +0000 Jules 907814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd totally think #7 were current if I saw them (pointy cut outs). I clearly don't have CocoLion's eye for detail!<br /> I don't love #1 and they look a little tired. I'm glad no one seems to be against the stacked heel because I have shoes with the exact same heel!<br /> I can see where you might want some new shoes however, none of these have that delicious new-shoe feeling. So if you don't want to keep too many pairs in play, perhaps buy what you love first and then purge based on what you end up buying. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-shoes-shoeshave-these-past-their-wear-by-date#post-907769 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 19:54:43 +0000 CocoLion 907769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ While pointy toes are in again, the toe is not snipped in as it was before. &nbsp;Example <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.shopbop.com/jocelyn-high-heel-bootie-alexander/vp/v=1/1571786018.htm?folderID=2534374302112431&amp;fm=other-shopbysize-viewall&amp;colorId=12867">here</a>. &nbsp;So, I might pass on #3 and #7.<br /><br />Having said that, I was just looking at mens shoes on the Barney's site, and they have <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.barneys.com/Gaziano-Girling-Westbury/501811912,default,pd.html?cgid=mens-shoes&amp;index=1">snipped, squared pointy toes</a>. &nbsp;Sometimes (very trendy)&nbsp;mens trends influence women's trends (I saw&nbsp;the cropped rolled pants thing without socks on trendy men first). &nbsp;Sometimes it's the other way around (colored jeans went to women first, then men started wearing them).<br /><br />So snipped, squared pointy toes might come back, although the way they are shown they are more dramatically squared than the pointy toe trend of 10-15 years ago. &nbsp;As usual, the devil is in the details! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-shoes-shoeshave-these-past-their-wear-by-date#post-907753 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 19:32:57 +0000 Sona 907753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ hmmm..so many different opinions. I like all except 3! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-shoes-shoeshave-these-past-their-wear-by-date#post-907746 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 19:29:22 +0000 Hil 907746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I quite like them all, especially 3 and 4... If they're all comfy and you can wear 'em, keep 'em </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-shoes-shoeshave-these-past-their-wear-by-date#post-907638 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 17:35:42 +0000 deb 907638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Definitely keep #'s 3,6,7. Anf if these were in my closet, I would keep #'s 2,4,and 5 also. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-shoes-shoeshave-these-past-their-wear-by-date#post-907636 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 17:35:06 +0000 ironkurtin 907636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think #3 and #7 look a bit dated, but it's not a killer.&nbsp; I never really care if shoes I like a lot (and are comfortable!) are not 100% on top of trends.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-shoes-shoeshave-these-past-their-wear-by-date#post-907635 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 17:34:59 +0000 hedgiehog 907635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Diane, I see nothing wrong with any of them. Maybe they feel dated because you've had them a long time? Pointy toes are in, caged sandals/shooties are in, kitten heels and cutouts are seasonally appropriate and wedges are classic. Clean and repair as necessary and I think they're keepers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-shoes-shoeshave-these-past-their-wear-by-date#post-907632 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 17:31:59 +0000 amiable 907632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm NOT the one to ask, but....<br /><br />I would keep all but pair #1, if they were comfy enough to wear :)<br /><br />Again - I know nothing though. &nbsp;:) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-shoes-shoeshave-these-past-their-wear-by-date#post-907630 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 17:29:40 +0000 Anonymous 907630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ To be honest I don't see a lot wrong with the style of any of them! The wedges are all quite refined with no thick platforms and Angie says that sort of refined wedge is on trend. I still think the caged style sandal is ok too. I also see pointy toes which again is on trend. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-shoes-shoeshave-these-past-their-wear-by-date#post-907625 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 17:24:40 +0000 Neelie 907625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I say keep 2, 3, 5, 6...just personal preference and how current they look.&nbsp; Maybe 7 too. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-shoes-shoeshave-these-past-their-wear-by-date#post-907602 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 17:00:40 +0000 kkards 907602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ need help determining if these shoes are keepers or should i donate them. i have a love of footwear, and find that i have a tend to keep them well past their wear by date.... i would like your thoughts on these. &nbsp;some are very old, and would need a trip to the shoe make/cobbler if i am going to wear this spring.&nbsp;<br /><br />are these styles dated?&nbsp;<br /><br />1 &amp; 2 are both open toe wedges, but they have very different looks. #2 are patent leather and to me are a little more dressy.<br /><br />#3 are really old, but i like the luggage color<br /><br />#4 these are only a year old, but wondering about the heel.<br /><br />#5 also wondering if the stacked heel makes these dated. i like that these have a more covered toe, so are good on days the pedicure is not perfect.<br /><br />#6 another really old pair, i haven't worn them in a few years, but i'm seeing mary janes out in stores again, and wondering if these should come back into circulation&nbsp;<br /><br />#7 pointed toe kitten heel. again, wondering if these are looking dated or if they could wear. these also need to be cleaned up and fixed up by the shoe maker.<br /><br />thanks in advance for your help.
