I can't see any holes.&nbsp;I wish you many comfy hours in your new shoes.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-shoes-wardrobe-planning-wib-and-wimb#post-890250 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 16:12:55 +0000 rachylou 890250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really love #5 &amp; 6. I had the same thought as others, tho. Are flats really comfortable enough for a lot of standing?<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-shoes-wardrobe-planning-wib-and-wimb#post-890118 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 14:09:10 +0000 Tanya 890118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you very much for your input ladies!<br /><br />Scarlet, actually all the potential pairs (4, 5 and 6) have a small wedge. &nbsp;It is a hidden one one in #4, an about an inch tall, but it is there. &nbsp;That is precisely why I chose them. &nbsp;And I do have some older shoes with higher wedges that are comfy, a bit worn, but cans till serve for at least a season.<br /><br />bj1111, I would like to get all 4-7, but not sure if it will happen. &nbsp;#5 are the first ones to get next, so those are for sure. &nbsp;Between #4 and #6, #4 would be comfier and #6 has more visual impact, so it kind of a tie. The sandals, #7, I would get for sure too, as I need something to wear out of the lab too, and he summers here are really long and hot. &nbsp;Plus I have't gotten any new sandals in the last two summers. &nbsp;<br /><br />Shannon, Asters are super comfy from walking around the apartment, they are nicely padded. When it comes to sizing, I am normally a 8 but go with 8.5 sometimes in flats. &nbsp;These are 8.5 and there is a bit of room in the toe box, 8 would have probably worked too. &nbsp;But since they have this hard cap toe, I am going to err on the side of larger as I do not want my toes squished. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-shoes-wardrobe-planning-wib-and-wimb#post-890082 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 13:30:44 +0000 Sara L. 890082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great choices!&nbsp; I like all these and it sounds like you've really thought about what you need and what colors work best for your wardrobe. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-shoes-wardrobe-planning-wib-and-wimb#post-890066 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 13:17:54 +0000 Transcona Shannon 890066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Tanya - I have been eyeing those SE Aster slipper flats for ages - are they comfortable? TTS?<br /><br />I think the ones you've chosen and are keeping are all fantastic. I also really like all of the other ones you've linked to. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them and they will totally refresh your spring/summer wardrobe. Personally I would choose the Donald J Pliner wedge shoes in the smooth leather rather than the suede - I think they'd be easier to keep clean. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-shoes-wardrobe-planning-wib-and-wimb#post-890045 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 12:46:33 +0000 Kristin L 890045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think they'll look great to dress up lab outfits.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-shoes-wardrobe-planning-wib-and-wimb#post-890035 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 12:27:21 +0000 Thistle 890035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ They all look spectacular, and I would love to hear the comfort factor on them.&nbsp;Several of these are brands I have looked at but never taken the plunge on because of fussy feet.<br /><br />I agree, shoes are a grat way to spruce up a wardrobe. Your choices are superb.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-shoes-wardrobe-planning-wib-and-wimb#post-890031 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 12:21:15 +0000 Missey 890031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The mint loafers are divine!&nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-shoes-wardrobe-planning-wib-and-wimb#post-890027 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 12:11:19 +0000 bj1111 890027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ great haul on 1-3.&nbsp; of these, #3 is my fave.&nbsp; though #1 could edge it out in comfort.<br /><br />of the possibles, are you planning to get all of these or just a couple?&nbsp; if the latter,&nbsp; i lean toward the wedges for style and comfort then the leopard for something different.&nbsp; i like the edelman open toe for fun.&nbsp; this is where the metallic is really nice and probably more long lasting than in the toe caps. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-shoes-wardrobe-planning-wib-and-wimb#post-889964 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 06:34:30 +0000 Scarlet 889964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My concern would be are flats really the most comfortable for you for a lot of standing, or would you want to have some more heel height variation. I know you have the one pair of wedges, &nbsp;but all the others look very flat. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-shoes-wardrobe-planning-wib-and-wimb#post-889886 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 03:29:12 +0000 Tanya 889886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you very much for your input ladies!<br /><br />Claire, I will report on the comfort. &nbsp;I haven't worn any of the&nbsp;1-3 out of the house yet, as we still have this ridiculous snow in MD. &nbsp;But I have worn #1 around the apartment for a while, and they are dreamy, like walking on clouds. &nbsp;#3 are quite flat and non-supportive, but I sized up and added an insert.<br /><br />Suz, you bring up some good points. &nbsp;I love the metallic toe thing too and I hope two pairs would not be too much. &nbsp;If they date fast, I could see dyeing the cap on #5 in some kind of black to done it down. &nbsp;As for the wedges, it is on purpose. &nbsp;My old 2-3" wedges are work shoes and are fairly comfy. &nbsp;But I have plenty of them and do not need more. &nbsp;Plus, my feet are getting fussier and I am spending more and more time on my feet in the lab. &nbsp;So comfort is now more important than ever, hence low wedges. &nbsp;They also happen to be on trend so there are more choices than usual. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-shoes-wardrobe-planning-wib-and-wimb#post-889881 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 03:17:20 +0000 Suz 889881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ They all look terrific, Tanya. I guess one question might be will the metallic toes thing be a trend that dates them quickly? (I happen to love the trend personally, so I might not care anyway, but thought I would mention.)&nbsp;<br /><br />Another question -- these are all much flatter than your older wedges -- is that on purpose or are the older 2 or 2.5 inch high&nbsp;wedges I've seen non-work shoes?&nbsp;<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-shoes-wardrobe-planning-wib-and-wimb#post-889870 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 02:54:05 +0000 annagybe 889870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ #1 is my favorite. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-shoes-wardrobe-planning-wib-and-wimb#post-889846 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 02:32:30 +0000 Anonymous 889846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh MY! Those are all absolutely darling! I love each and every pair. They will make your dress code of long pants feel totally refreshed! *swoon* &nbsp;Please report back on comfort. Inquiring minds want to know!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-shoes-wardrobe-planning-wib-and-wimb#post-889841 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 02:28:21 +0000 Tanya 889841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have decided to focus on shoes &nbsp;for the upcoming&nbsp;spring/summer season &nbsp;as it seems like the simplest way to update my wardrobe and I need a bunch of &nbsp;new&nbsp;shoes anyway, since &nbsp;a lot of&nbsp;my old ones are in bad state - I am pretty hard on my shoes. &nbsp;So the past month I have been slowly acquiring some&nbsp;transitional&nbsp;spring shoes, as I can not wear open toed ones in the lab.<br />In addition to the silver Ash wedge sneakers that &nbsp;I have already posted and worn, I got these three pairs (all keepers):<br />1. Sam Edelman Aster slipper flat, white snakeskin texture, with silver metal cap<br />2. Everybody Bardino oxfords in stone<br />3. DV by Dolce Vita cobalt calf hair pointy slipper flats<br /><br />I am also hoping to get the following in the next couple of months:<br />4. MIz Mooz mint pointy loafers<br />5. Donald J Pliner black pointy low wedges (they come in both suede as pictured and smooth leather and I am not sure which to pick)<br />6. Halogen ankle strap leopard low wedges<br />7. Sam Edleman Sophie sandals (for out of work).<br /><br />I would&nbsp;appreciate&nbsp;any input/thoughts on missing something/skipping a particular pair etc. &nbsp; Other than the last pair, they wold all be for work/lab, which has a strict dress code: only long pants/jeans are allowed ( no skirts, dresses, shorts, cropped pants etc.) and closed toed shoes only. I tend to work long hours standing, so comfort is a must.&nbsp;In terms of spring wardrobe colors for my clothes, I intend to focus on the following: all white, white&amp;black combos, pastels (mint and blush in particular) and bright blues/greens.<br /><br />
