Maybe I have 2 pairs in the budget, we will just have to see. : ) I love my sandal alternatives, but it is supposed to hit 97 this week and I would love to avoid the sweaty feet at work (which has been an issue even with our AC, it just can't keep up all day). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-with-bootcuts-and-midi-skirts#post-1286697 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 16:23:50 +0000 unfrumped 1286697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have about given up on shoes that go with both bootcuts and longer skirts, in summer for sure. In winter, with opaque tights, I have been able to use booties or some types of oxfords.</p> <p>The longer skirts to me beg for a bit of heel and so I have my own poison-eye limitation--meaning, even if some things are on-trend I find them hard to like on me as I can skew librarian-esque really fast. </p> <p>If the midi 's are the narrow tube skirts, then I think some of the loafers work.<br />If you can wear open toed sandals, then there are more options for a more delicate-looking shoe for skirts--with a low heel or wedge as suggested. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-with-bootcuts-and-midi-skirts#post-1286626 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 14:53:20 +0000 carambola 1286626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about a pointy toe d'Orsay flat? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-with-bootcuts-and-midi-skirts#post-1286620 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 14:40:10 +0000 Angie 1286620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loafers.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-with-bootcuts-and-midi-skirts#post-1286498 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 10:38:24 +0000 crutcher 1286498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a problem...The shoes that Deb suggested are perfect...Other suggestions would be loafers or a dressy athletic shoe.I know that is an oxymoron but I have a pair of black patten lace up like athletic shoes that I wear when I want a dressier look...Good luck... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-with-bootcuts-and-midi-skirts#post-1286404 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 04:55:10 +0000 deb 1286404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about something like&nbsp;these? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-with-bootcuts-and-midi-skirts#post-1286395 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 04:43:27 +0000 deb 1286395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try a 1 to 1 1/2 inch wedge. I have balance issues and these are stable enough for me. Actually more stable than a block heal. Peep toes look good with both skirts and bootcuts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-with-bootcuts-and-midi-skirts#post-1286337 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 03:17:38 +0000 Diana 1286337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are birks or similar too casual? I have these Naots which I think work with both bootcuts and midis. They have a slight wedge and the thicker sole adds some substance with long pants. </p> <p><a href="http://m.zappos.com/naot-footwear-ashley" rel="nofollow">http://m.zappos.com/naot-footwear-ashley</a></p> <p>(Sorry, on phone so can't add as a find). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-with-bootcuts-and-midi-skirts#post-1286336 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 03:15:36 +0000 Nora 1286336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about the Sam Edelman Trina sandal? I buoght it in silver, but the cognac and the black are also nice, and they're really comfy. I trotted all over town after taking them out of the box and putting them on my feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-with-bootcuts-and-midi-skirts#post-1286322 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 02:45:37 +0000 Elly 1286322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could-- I'm slightly concerned about turning an ankle on our ancient uneven stairs (4 flights with 14' ceilings) as I do it occasionally in my previous go-to work shoes which are very similar to a Dankso clog. All my other shoes tend to be flat or boots, so I think that increases my tendencies to fall off them. So, do I need to go to something not flat to avoid the weirdness? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-with-bootcuts-and-midi-skirts#post-1286309 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 02:25:29 +0000 lyn* 1286309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about a small wedge? Can you stand on something small like that for 10 hrs?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-with-bootcuts-and-midi-skirts#post-1286304 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 02:20:51 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1286304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can't find, say a 1-2 inch blocky heel, two wide strap sandal that might do both jobs? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-with-bootcuts-and-midi-skirts#post-1286301 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 02:14:03 +0000 Elly 1286301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had an awful time sourcing a summer shoe to wear to work with my two main work bottom staples. I wear narrow bootcuts and a couple of midi skirts day in and day out at work and I cannot for the life of me find summer shoes (other than a variety of sneakers) that work for me and the clothes.&nbsp; Heels are mostly out at work, I stand sometimes 10 hrs a day, and the shoes need to be stable. Yet, I can't find a style I like (sandal or otherwise) that is more open than a sneaker that I like with both my bootcuts and skirts. </p> <p>Sandals seem really seasonally confused with my bootcuts (perhaps because they aren't as substantial, esp. with no heels) but many of the styles I like with bootcuts look heavy and stumpifying with the skirts. I would rather have a pair of flats and a pair of sandals than a pair of "skirt sandals" and a pair of "pants sandals" but I'm striking out. </p> <p>Any thoughts? </p>
