Or d'orsay flats with ankle straps (similar to jewel's suggestion)? Fisherman's sandals could work, too, though less dressy than the others. Espadrille, ditto. There's a great selection of all of the above available this summer. I just grabbed a random bunch from the Topshop USA site, below. (Btw, off the point, I shouldn't look at the topshop shoes at all -- I always finds lots I want to buy, and the prices are reasonable enough that I am inordinately tempted. However, I haven't found most of those I have acquired all that comfortable.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirts-and-shoes#post-1512210 Sun, 28 Jun 2015 17:58:58 +0000 L'Abeille 1512210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to suggest oxfords as well. They have a high vamp and lace up over a tongue, like men's shoes. In recent years it's a niche trend to wear oxfords with a dress or skirt. (And some people, like our Astrid, rock the look on the regular.) Some feminine-looking styles incorporate light colored leather or metallic, or perforated for summer.</p> <p>Loafers (another menswear inspired shoe) also work with skirts, but may need a little more care to look intentional (librarian look?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirts-and-shoes#post-1512209 Sun, 28 Jun 2015 17:54:46 +0000 L'Abeille 1512209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry double post </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirts-and-shoes#post-1512200 Sun, 28 Jun 2015 16:51:02 +0000 Robin 1512200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what useful suggestions already. Looks like I have some shopping to do! :)</p> <p>diana: Can you describe Oxfords to me? I'm blind (like Michelle) and don't think I've ever been in touching distance of Oxfords.</p> <p>Secret socks. Yes, that'd definitely help. I'm guessing these are socks that don't come up higher than the top of the shoe?</p> <p>Joy: Thanks for the links. They give me a sense of the kinds of shoes you're talking about.</p> <p>Your reply </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirts-and-shoes#post-1512124 Sun, 28 Jun 2015 07:11:05 +0000 dorotha29 1512124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like that with open toe flat sandals. But what do you think about such shoes <a href="http://luksusportal.pl/en/moda-i-styl/prezentacje/borgezie-riviera" rel="nofollow">http://luksusportal.pl/en/moda.....ie-riviera</a>? you think that is comfortable? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirts-and-shoes#post-1512122 Sun, 28 Jun 2015 07:10:04 +0000 Cococat 1512122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ruined my feet in the 80s and now I find that closed in shoes always rub.</p> <p>For something super comfortable but nice looking, I go for croc wedges. I can pretty much walk all day in them without a problem and they look great with skirts and dresses.</p> <p><a href="http://www.crocsaustralia.com.au/crocs-womens-leigh-graphic-wedge/15313,en_AU,pd.html?cid=060&#038;cgid=women-footwear-heels-wedges#start=3" rel="nofollow">http://www.crocsaustralia.com......es#start=3</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirts-and-shoes#post-1512115 Sun, 28 Jun 2015 05:26:38 +0000 Maneera 1512115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Joy. I do love slip on sneakers as well. I have a pair of athletic shoes that are shaped like ballet flats and have a pretty floral print but give me the comfort of a pair of sneakers. </p> <p>Usually I'm happy with open toe flat sandals that have a cushioned insole. Dr Scholl does fantastic ones </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirts-and-shoes#post-1512109 Sun, 28 Jun 2015 04:36:09 +0000 Anonymous 1512109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You might try athletic flats. They can have the comfort of sneakers with the feminine look of ballet flats. They are my most worn footwear. Most have some sort of strap across the top of the foot which helps hold them on if running or walking fast. I can't do finds on my iPad but if you Google athletic flats, you should find a selection. Here are some on Zappos:<br /> <a href="http://www.zappos.com/new-balance-classics-wl115-grey-with-fiji" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/new-bala.....-with-fiji</a><br /> <a href="http://www.zappos.com/sperry-top-sider-pt-breeze-skimmer-black?zlfid=191&#038;ref=pd_sims_sdp_1" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/sperry-t.....sims_sdp_1</a><br /> <a href="http://www.zappos.com/sanuk-yoga-eve-natural" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/sanuk-yoga-eve-natural</a><br /> <a href="http://www.zappos.com/merrell-circuit-mj-breeze-taupe" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/merrell-.....eeze-taupe</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirts-and-shoes#post-1512033 Sat, 27 Jun 2015 22:54:12 +0000 always trying 1512033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess maybe we are past the wearing sneakers with dresses and skirts.&nbsp; There are a lot of cute flat sandals out there that are great with cute summery dresses and skirts.&nbsp; It al depends on you, and your feet how much support you need for walking.&nbsp; I do not require support and walk a lot in any comfy sandal as long as they have enough padding on the bottoms.&nbsp; Lots of dressier flat sandals have little or no cushioning for the soles of feet.&nbsp; But this year I am finding a lot more do.&nbsp; </p> <p>I have &nbsp;#1&nbsp;and similar ones like &nbsp;#2 in a taupe color.&nbsp; No. one is super comfy and I have walked al lot and on my feet for about 4 hours in them.

For a more casual look, slip on sneakers also work. With both, I can wear secret socks that don't show, which ups the comfort factor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirts-and-shoes#post-1512017 Sat, 27 Jun 2015 22:04:29 +0000 Jeweled 1512017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Robin, I know there are plenty of shoes currently that are kind of like closed-toe sandals.&nbsp; They are usually closed from the tip of the toe, down to where your toes adjoin your foot.</p> <p>From there, the shoe is an open sandal, with some sort of ankle strap.<br />There are a lot of shoes in this type of style currently.&nbsp; They're a dressy sort of flats.</p> <p>I'm sure you can also find them in a more padded version for comfortable walking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/skirts-and-shoes#post-1511976 Sat, 27 Jun 2015 20:34:20 +0000 Robin 1511976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, I love wearing casual, swingy skirts and dresses in spring and summer, but I haven't yet found a pair of sandals that I can comfortably walk in for a mile or more. I'm planning a trip to the shoe store with Angie's recent blog post about comfy sandals firmly in hand so maybe I'll be able to fix this.</p> <p>I'm wondering though: Is there a way to make sturdy, close-toed shoes work with casual skirts and dresses? I'm thinking something sturdier than a ballet flat but not as clunky as athletic shoes. </p> <p>I've always gotten the message that skirts go with delicate shoes, but feel sure that there must be more fashion variations.</p> <p>Ideas?</p> <p>&nbsp; Your post </p>
