I love seeing the shoes that work for you and they are fun and super stylish. Love! Would be so thankful for them to find a way into my closet. </p> <p>Will look forward to seeing what you come it with for booties. I will be of no help. I have 3 pairs of the Sam Edelman Pettys that are popular on the forum, but they are mostly for pants or jeans. </p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/success-with-pointy-toe-flats#post-1373649 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 02:42:41 +0000 Adelfa 1373649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very elegant collection!

I was expecting to see one pair of pointy-toe flats, but you found four! This is a great assortment, and how terrific that they are 12 hour shoes, besides. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/success-with-pointy-toe-flats#post-1373315 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 16:40:08 +0000 Thistle 1373315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gives me hope!!</p> <p>Perhaps I shall yet be able to find a pointy toed shoe that is comfortable.

I guess I have not put the effort in as I do not have such a great selection, and our shopping options are&nbsp;similar. I did pick these up recently from Aldo. They did give me a blister on the heel on first wear, but are otherwise decently comfortable (wearing them with knee highs today...)<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.aldoshoes.com/ca/en/women/shoes/flats/c/111/SECCOMBE/p/35048522-40">http://www.aldoshoes.com/ca/en.....5048522-40</a></p> <p>Yes, for my&nbsp;last Toronto TTC commute winter I had 3 pairs of shoes at work - booties, heeled oxfords and navy suede Converse HiNess. I took off my tall boots just about every day and found the shoes much more comfortable. Plus I got more, but fairly low-impact, wear out of my transitional shoes. The trick for me was having a few pairs to choose from for different outfits -&nbsp;&nbsp;and that they all worked with socks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/success-with-pointy-toe-flats#post-1373194 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 13:52:51 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1373194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is great info! &nbsp; We have similar feet, I think! &nbsp; I have two questions: &nbsp; 1) &nbsp;Is your second toe longer or shorter than your big toe? &nbsp; 2) &nbsp; How close does these shoes press or touch to your big and second toe&nbsp;toenails?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/success-with-pointy-toe-flats#post-1373155 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 11:46:47 +0000 Elizabeth P 1373155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you Carla!&nbsp; Those Town Shoes silver flats are esp delicious :).&nbsp; Good luck with the bootie hunt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/success-with-pointy-toe-flats#post-1373077 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 04:42:22 +0000 Anonymous 1373077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, this is good to know!

I have never found a pair of pointy toe shoes that would stay on my feet. &nbsp;It is quite an accomplishment to have found 5 pairs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/success-with-pointy-toe-flats#post-1373050 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 04:00:17 +0000 Anonymous 1373050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! Especially love the BCBG pairs and the silver loafers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/success-with-pointy-toe-flats#post-1373040 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 03:45:24 +0000 Day Vies 1373040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your feet sound exactly like mine -- same size and same narrow heel wide forefoot. I think the pointy flat is an elegant solution. You get mobility comfort and style. I agree on finding a low-heeled bootie to mix things up. </p> <p>My only word of caution is you will wear out the heel especially if you walk hard like I do when commuting. Depending on whether you pronate in or out, your heel will reflect your walking pattern well before the end of the season. I suggest getting some sleek ballet flat sneakers (stability and the ability to run when necessary). I am sure there is a technical name for them but that's what they look like to me. I wore a pair when I walked all over Paris 2 years ago because I did not want to look like one of those unstylish Americans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/success-with-pointy-toe-flats#post-1373008 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 03:16:46 +0000 Michelle 1373008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you've got a great collection, my fellow Canadian (Town Shoes ftw)! <br />I don't wear flats very often, but am delighted with a pair of pointy-toed Cole Haan slipper flats I picked up last year. I can't link to them, unfortunately, but thought I'd throw the brand out there as one with a consistent and impressive record on comfort. <br />Your reply </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/success-with-pointy-toe-flats#post-1373003 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 03:10:14 +0000 bj1111 1373003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are on my I-wish-list. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/success-with-pointy-toe-flats#post-1373002 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 03:09:43 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1373002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great collection! For booties, I really like the Munros I got recently. They made an Angie's pick. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/success-with-pointy-toe-flats#post-1372973 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 02:40:10 +0000 shiny 1372973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally envious!!!&nbsp;</p> <p>I can't decide... I want to collect them all.... those zippered Tahari's first caught my eye but the silver ones sound intriguing. And the red BCBGs are to die for.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/success-with-pointy-toe-flats#post-1372972 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 02:38:34 +0000 deb 1372972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yea!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/success-with-pointy-toe-flats#post-1372954 Fri, 10 Oct 2014 02:15:13 +0000 Carla 1372954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Comfort first for my size 9.5's, so when I started 'the big commute' to my job in the city, even my comfortable heels became uncomfortable. The pointy toe look appeals to me, but I do have fussy feet. Narrow heel, but wide forefoot with bunions, mid to low volume. Most lunch hours I hit the gym for a few miles on the tread mill -- so I'm hard on my feet!</p> <p>The shoes below can make it through a 12 hour day!</p> <p>Red and black BCBG suede baby wedge flats - got the red ones about a year ago and pounced on the black ones a couple of month later when they showed up in store</p> <p>Tahari leather zippered baby wedge - the newest, and good with trousers</p> <p>Towne Shoes italian leather silver loafer - wild card, and the most comfortable (!) with a low rubber heel that seems to provide extra shock absorption </p> <p>Navy blue leather Weejuns - my least fave, as they are a little hard soled, and more casual looking</p> <p>I am keeping my eye open for a refined booty that I can wear with dresses and skirts, and I would like to add a wine coloured shoe as well. I'll probably transport some of my heels to work and stash them there for the winter when I will want to switch out of tall boots. I only have one pair, and I can't imagine wearing them for 12 hours straight. </p>
