I wore chuck Taylor slip ons for years but got a bit tired of the distressed styling they usually had. Would love to get some more for spring so hoping they do something different. I'm not so crazy about the skater styling, personally. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-what-do-you-think#post-1143768 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 20:05:14 +0000 Anonymous 1143768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like those! Especially the ones like the Via Spigas that are almost more like a canvas smoking loafer. </p> <p>For me, though, I could see myself wearing this style only if they had a&nbsp;very low vamp and somehow avoided the&nbsp;rubbery white sole. (My fears of too much&nbsp;stumpiness or sportiness are strong.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-what-do-you-think#post-1143766 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 20:04:22 +0000 Diana 1143766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Clara, I grew up in LA so I totally associate these with skate style. &nbsp;I wore Vans when I was in middle/high school in the early 90's. &nbsp;I think they're a little too sporty for me now but I might consider something in an interesting pattern or fabric. &nbsp;I also tend to find these very flat thick soles to be uncomfortable for my flat feet these days - I can't wear regular cons, for example, although the Hi-Nesses, with their low heel, are OK. &nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-what-do-you-think#post-1143742 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 19:06:33 +0000 Jacky 1143742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna: thanks for the link! It's really useful to know that the BOGO model has serious issues in general. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-what-do-you-think#post-1143732 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 18:49:52 +0000 Echo 1143732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Although I haven't worn this Van's style since college, I rarely wear sneakers that actually lace up. I almost always buy sneaks that "buckle" (with elastic under the tongue so one doesn't actually have to buckle them) or have elastic or a no-lace style. I don't know that I'd ty this particular style again unless they had a really interesting fabrication (like Anna's). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-what-do-you-think#post-1143730 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 18:48:46 +0000 kkards 1143730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, thanks for the link. I did have some question regarding toms charity after recently hearing about a factory they opened in Haiti. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-what-do-you-think#post-1143726 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 18:38:23 +0000 annagybe 1143726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also Toms is not really good aid.&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://goodintents.org/in-kind-donations/toms-shoes">http://goodintents.org/in-kind.....toms-shoes</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-what-do-you-think#post-1143723 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 18:35:22 +0000 Suzanne (ambergreen) 1143723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For something like this, I'd probably wait for a $15 pair from Target...I used to live in a couple of pairs of Keds slipons with the "skinnies" of the 80s and I think they were like $5 each. Over $150 for these? Umm...pas pour moi (no pun intended). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-what-do-you-think#post-1143721 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 18:31:58 +0000 Jacky 1143721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love them. I've been trying to find a pair that work for me for a while now - Converse don't quite fit on my feet right, sadly, and most other things I find I think the soles are too thick on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-what-do-you-think#post-1143709 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 18:09:22 +0000 kkards 1143709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haven't tried toms, for some reason, possibly because I'm not accustom to this style yet.<br /> Anna, thanks for linking to your blog, I think part of my being on the fence about this style, is that I was having a hard time visualizing how they would look with a real outfit. I like how you have styled them.<br /> The ones that I seem to be drawn to are the perforated leather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-what-do-you-think#post-1143654 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 16:55:51 +0000 Isabel 1143654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them too !! &nbsp;Live Viva, I love Tom's. &nbsp;Especially since they donate a pair for every pair bought. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-what-do-you-think#post-1143644 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 16:45:21 +0000 ClaraT 1143644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vans! If you grew up in LA, this is skate style for sure. I own none and don't care for a white side on this style. But I'm all for comfy walkable shoes, so if I found some that were supportive (vans are flat inside), I 'd sure consider them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-what-do-you-think#post-1143636 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 16:35:32 +0000 Thistle 1143636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Anna. I think these in a interesting pattern or fabrication would be fab.</p> <p>As for pricing, I think it depends how much comfort is built into them. No reason why these shouldn't be dreamy on your feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-what-do-you-think#post-1143627 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 16:25:26 +0000 annagybe 1143627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love my black and white lace ones.&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://noscrubs.lookfab.com/post/wiw-911-girl-math-shoes">http://noscrubs.lookfab.com/po.....math-shoes</a></p> <p>I think the key is to get them in something other than plain canvas. Get an interesting texture or fabrication. I really like the leopard Steve Madden ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-what-do-you-think#post-1143608 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 15:41:53 +0000 Catnip 1143608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely a look from the past, but cute.&nbsp; I agree with Carter that they are way overpriced, but perhaps they are lined or have some feature that's not noticeable in the pictures.&nbsp; I might consider them if I found one in a narrow width that was really comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-what-do-you-think#post-1143597 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 15:14:01 +0000 Susie 1143597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do wear Tom's and I have a pair of Converse low tops and a pair of boat shoes so those options cover my casual needs. I think these can be a fab look on others but they don't speak to me for my own style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-what-do-you-think#post-1143589 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 15:02:04 +0000 Grey Rainbow 1143589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the style, and have since I was a teen in the 70s and slip on Keds was part of a summer uniform. Can't quite make the slip on sneaker style work for me now, but I'd still wear them dressed down if I could (ditto classic espadrilles -- and Toms shred my feet). Agree with Carter, these seem overpriced. I tried a range of wedge sneakers last year when shopping for travel footwear. I found Paul Green to be most comfortable and chic, and many of the Ash styles fun and not too aggressive but not comfy to walk in. Ultimately, agree with Viva -- not a natural style for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-what-do-you-think#post-1143583 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 14:41:08 +0000 carter 1143583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't get the prices. They look like $20 Keds to me. They're cute, but I'd never pay those prices for them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-what-do-you-think#post-1143578 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 14:10:19 +0000 annaj 1143578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If the word is sneakers, I am there! Love this style too :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-what-do-you-think#post-1143568 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 13:27:34 +0000 Anonymous 1143568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of slip on converse chuck taylors that I really like and they are so easy of course, especially for warm weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-what-do-you-think#post-1143562 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 13:16:29 +0000 viva 1143562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For slip-ons, I live in Toms country ... pretty much everyone has at least one pair. I wear them for bumming around, great with shorts to the beach or with boyfriend jeans for casual shopping. I like them if they are very basic, simple like espadrilles.<br />I have tried on the wedge sneakers and they don't feel like me. I do have classic converse low-tops that I love, but in the wedge I feel like I am pushing it. Just not a natural look for me.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-what-do-you-think#post-1143560 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 13:01:18 +0000 Karie 1143560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them! Annagybe has a pair and she rocks them. I like the Bince Blair 7 and the Via Spiga Galant. The wedge sneaks are also fantastic (Ash Genial Bis&nbsp;wedges with the buckles, I'm looking at you!).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-on-sneakers-what-do-you-think#post-1143551 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 12:04:06 +0000 kkards 1143551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This style was part of a list that piperlime has as spring top 10 trend. And yesterday when I was at the mall I saw a couple of styles in Nordstroms. I'm on the fence, can't quite decide how I feel about this style. I'm sort of thinking that its one of these styles that I'm just not used to seeing, but will start to like once i get used to it.<br /> What do you think? Will you be wearing this? </p> <p><a href="http://piperlime.gap.com/browse/category.do?cid=1006047&#038;departmentRedirect=true#department=136&#038;style=1006060" rel="nofollow">http://piperlime.gap.com/brows.....le=1006060</a> </p>
