Cool!</p> <p>Thanks, all. Fernanda, those Fryes are cute, although I am not a big fan of the faded color on the second one. I seem to actually like the more substantial sole - most of the oxfords that ladies here have been buying this year remind me unfavorably of soft-soled dance shoes. (I blame my middle school choir teacher.) </p> <p>Given that several unexpected expenses have just cropped up in my life, I may not be buying anything for a while... but dreaming and planning are free. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-flat-oxfords-bass#post-394146 Sat, 30 Jul 2011 01:46:37 +0000 annette 394146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have some suede ones and they are very comfy and seem to be a good quality. I have my eye on some frye's too. I am trying to impose a shoe budget but zappos is my undoing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-flat-oxfords-bass#post-394139 Sat, 30 Jul 2011 01:30:18 +0000 Fernanda 394139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, they might not be exactly what you're looking for, but have you checked out Frye's oxfords?<br /> I got the Carson about a month ago and practically live in them:</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/frye-carson-oxford-black-leather" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/frye-car.....ck-leather</a></p> <p>Bit they have lots of different styles, The James look more like the Bellinghams you like from Bass:</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/frye-james-wingtip-tan~2" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/frye-james-wingtip-tan~2</a></p> <p>I've always felt stumpy in flat oxfords, but these are somehow elongating (and really comfy). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-flat-oxfords-bass#post-393739 Fri, 29 Jul 2011 03:17:07 +0000 Vildy 393739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've always been a huge fan of Bass. They used to wear like iron.<br /> The original Weejun has the reputation of an excess of heel slip.<br /> True for my pair. I think they may be manufactured offshore now<br /> and don't know if the quality has changed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-flat-oxfords-bass#post-393637 Fri, 29 Jul 2011 00:44:16 +0000 chewyspaghetti 393637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got a pair of Bass loafers last year- the quality seemed good and the leather was soft. I do find that the soles on most of these oxfords are rather masculine for my taste, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-flat-oxfords-bass#post-393632 Fri, 29 Jul 2011 00:39:07 +0000 Elly 393632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My understanding is that wingtips are the ones that have the "widow's peak" detail at the toe. Brogues have the small holes punched in the edges of the leather. Oxfords are the style of shoe. Please correct me if I am wrong! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-flat-oxfords-bass#post-393623 Fri, 29 Jul 2011 00:26:27 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 393623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Born oxfords @ NAS sold out in my size, boo, so I was looking around for other options. Has anyone worn Bass recently? I'm sure I had a pair or two when I was a kid but it's been ages. I am really loving the Bellingham.</p> <p><a href="https://bassshoes.harborghb.com/catalog/product-listing.cfm/category/Casuals/group/basswomens//start/all" rel="nofollow">https://bassshoes.harborghb.co...../start/all</a></p> <p>(BTW, what's the difference between an oxford and a brogue, and for that matter a wingtip?) </p>
