I find if I wear actual dainty shoes, my feet disappear! I like a nice sturdy heel or strappy somethings so there's a nice bold STATEMENT! But I'm definitely Team Chunky! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-chunky-or-team-dainty-footwear#post-277688 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 03:50:42 +0000 chewyspaghetti 277688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Team Chunky here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-chunky-or-team-dainty-footwear#post-277668 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 03:05:07 +0000 Steph 277668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll be the second member of Team Dainty. I definitely own many chunkier shoes, like wedges, but I like the clean aesthetic that you get from a daintier shoe. I hate pointy-toed heels as well, but I have many rounded and open toe daintier heels that I love. I pretty much only wear heels, and when I have on a very high but very chunky heel, I sometimes feel like I'm clomping around, and I hate that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-chunky-or-team-dainty-footwear#post-277667 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 03:03:55 +0000 taylor 277667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Team dainty...even my boots must have a dainty heel and look to them :)<br /> I am fearfull of looking like Olive Oyle</p> <p>Ha!

I have size 9 1/2 feet and I don't need any help making them look bigger! However, I am conscious of not going too dainty, as the contrast would itself look odd. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-chunky-or-team-dainty-footwear#post-277652 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 02:49:20 +0000 Maya 277652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, is this going to be the first ever unanimous Team X Team Y poll? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-chunky-or-team-dainty-footwear#post-277648 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 02:48:08 +0000 yublocka 277648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Always chunky. When you have size 10 feet most shoes look chunky anyway. Except those Clark Brulees. I still can't wear them this season as they are just too girly and "non-chunky" enough to match the rest of me or something!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-chunky-or-team-dainty-footwear#post-277646 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 02:45:58 +0000 Kyle 277646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, Maya. I'd love to see you in that second all-black look. Very Parisian artsy chic. At 5' 10" and 140 lbs, dainty is not really my style Please log me in as a member of team chunky. I used to wear traditional pumps with thin heels in the 80s. I wonder how we walked back then. Today's thicker heels are so much more reasonable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-chunky-or-team-dainty-footwear#post-277641 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 02:35:03 +0000 ticksgirl 277641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Team chunky all the way. With my height and size 10 feet, I just feel silly in dainty shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-chunky-or-team-dainty-footwear#post-277637 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 02:29:33 +0000 Tricia 277637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>100% chunky. I hate skinny little heels and pointy toes on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-chunky-or-team-dainty-footwear#post-277636 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 02:27:46 +0000 Maya 277636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, interesting Angie. I would have never thought of that. </p> <p>I'm on the dainty side too, but I'd totally wear a brick strapped to my foot anyway (comfort issues aside). My clog mary janes are pretty chunky but I wore them today happily (they passed the comfort test, yay). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-chunky-or-team-dainty-footwear#post-277631 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 02:24:05 +0000 Angie 277631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can I be on Team Manservant? </p> <p>I have small, dainty, bony feet and small ankles so actually I wear dainty shoes really well. But my feet don't like the discomfort of narrow straps and thin heels so I stick to chunkier styles - which I happen to prefer the look of aesthetically too. </p> <p>However, I am on Team REFINED Chunky. In the same way that I cannot pull off huge pieces of jewelry, I cannot pull off ultra chunky shoes - they swallow me up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-chunky-or-team-dainty-footwear#post-277630 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 02:23:34 +0000 annagybe 277630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Team chunky for the most part but I have some stilettos but they're in bootie form and/or have significant platforms. So I guess they're chunky stilettos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-chunky-or-team-dainty-footwear#post-277626 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 02:19:09 +0000 greenglove 277626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another chunky- lifestyle, practicality usually dictate chunky.<br /> I do like dainty and love certain pointy toe looks but would have to side with team chunky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-chunky-or-team-dainty-footwear#post-277623 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 02:16:22 +0000 anne 277623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also 100% team chunky! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-chunky-or-team-dainty-footwear#post-277620 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 02:14:41 +0000 catgirl 277620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>100% Team Chunky. Always have been, always will be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-chunky-or-team-dainty-footwear#post-277616 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 02:09:12 +0000 Patience 277616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely team chunky but I try to avoid extremes. I have never been a super pointy toe or stilletto heeled gal myself but I generally have one or two pair of shoes with one of these (to change things up occasionally). I also still like almond toes. In theory I also like kitten heels but don't usually end buying them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-chunky-or-team-dainty-footwear#post-277609 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 02:07:19 +0000 Jonesy 277609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>100% Team Chunky! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-chunky-or-team-dainty-footwear#post-277607 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 02:04:54 +0000 Maya 277607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm Team Chunky for sure. I love thick straps from both an aesthetic and comfort perspective, and I love big chunky heels or wedges. It might be in part because I love short sack dresses and they look best with a big ol' chunk of a shoe. The second look on this post always stands out in my memory because the whole outfit just screams my name. I love it and would wear it in a heartbeat, even if it meant that I'd need a manservant to carry me around...</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2007/11/27/chunky-heels-and-short-dresses/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2007/11/.....t-dresses/</a></p> <p>I have never been a fan of the classic pointy toe pump, nor do I particularly care for stilettos or spike heels. If I wear heels, they have to look fun, edgy, cute, spunky, and quirky. Not corporate and not sexy.</p> <p>But at the same time, I do love sleek ballet flats and dainty kitten heels. I can't wear either though. My ballet flats need to be wide and I find thin heels wobbly regardless of height. </p>
