Thanks! I would love a casual comfy sandal for running around, but also a slighly less casual one for outings with my husband or get togethers with friends. Maybe both then? </p> <p>Thanks harmonica this is a learning process for me as well and I love having help from all of you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-great-sandals-dilemma-of-2012-need-advice#post-656585 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 16:23:24 +0000 harmonica 656585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the grey ones and the heel doesn't seem very high, so I guess you will adopt pretty soon. The red ones: as chritieanne says, and the frump factor is hard to judge without seeing them on :-)</p> <p>ETA: not at all tired of your sandals. I like how you go through different types very thoroughly and I'm learning quite a lot too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-great-sandals-dilemma-of-2012-need-advice#post-656562 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 16:02:06 +0000 christieanne 656562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The grey are very stylish and good looking. Nice color for versatility. Might be a bit high for tons of walking but that's just my perception of course. The Mephisto look like good walkers and for going to park/picnic/outdoor wear. I think they look like they have very different purposes so it just depends what your need is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-great-sandals-dilemma-of-2012-need-advice#post-656514 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 15:10:53 +0000 Kirti 656514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Meredith: Thanks! I don't have access to Clarks here unless I order online. But I may be going to India so I can check at Clarks there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-great-sandals-dilemma-of-2012-need-advice#post-656506 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 15:08:21 +0000 Meredith1953 656506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kirti,<br /> It looks like the gray ones will work. I have found Clarks makes some really nice dressy flat sandals. I have included a pic of me wearing my favorite pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-great-sandals-dilemma-of-2012-need-advice#post-656504 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 15:07:16 +0000 Kirti 656504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie: I'm not sure in terms of inches but they are quite low and manageable. But would flat sandals be more useful for the amount of walking I do? Should I get both? That would ensure a dressier sandal and a casual one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-great-sandals-dilemma-of-2012-need-advice#post-656500 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 15:03:24 +0000 Kirti 656500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Janet! They are definitely less casual :-)</p> <p>shevia: Thanks! Sorry I couldn't take a pic of the sandals on my feet, but thanks for the advice. :-)</p> <p>Diana: I currently have no sandals I bought a pair of flat metallic gladiators but they are so uncomfortable! Do you think I should get both? So I would have one dressier and one casual sandal? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-great-sandals-dilemma-of-2012-need-advice#post-656465 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 14:42:34 +0000 Angie 656465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How how is the heel on the grey? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-great-sandals-dilemma-of-2012-need-advice#post-656420 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 14:00:35 +0000 Diana 656420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the grey ones - they look more versatile and edgy. I don't think the red are frumpy but they do have a more casual vibe because of the sole (sort of more Birkenstock-ish). BUT I think you have to go with comfort if you are only going to get one pair (I forget, do you have other comfy sandals). I do love those cork footbed styles like on the Mephistos for comfort. </p> <p>I don't mind the Velcro straps. I used to hate them but now have several pairs of sandals with them, including my yellow gladiators, where you really can't tell they have Velcro and it's very convenient. Similarly, I don't think you can tell these have Velcro unless you look closely (as long as they strap is long enough not to show any Velcro, I think you're good.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-great-sandals-dilemma-of-2012-need-advice#post-656415 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 13:55:01 +0000 Jaime 656415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is really hard to say without a full length view (I can't judge a shoe by its closeup). But the red Mephistos look good to me - frump is hard to judge in the abstract. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-great-sandals-dilemma-of-2012-need-advice#post-656413 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 13:49:38 +0000 Janet 656413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I kind of wish I could see more of a side view of the grey sandals, but I think I prefer them to the Mephistos. They look slightly less casual, I think, which seems like they might be more versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-great-sandals-dilemma-of-2012-need-advice#post-656412 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 13:46:19 +0000 Kirti 656412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sure all of you must be sick and tired of my sandal rants by now! But I am really confused right now and could use some advice!</p> <p>My first option is a pair of grey heeled sandals from Eram (pics 1 to 4). Pic 4 shows the true colour, a lightish grey. These are comfy and fit well. They are also Angie approved. My only concern in that heeled sandals may not be as suited to my life as flat ones. Inam also not sure about the velcro strap.</p> <p>My second option is a pair of red sandals from Mephisto. I like the colour and these are also comfy and fit well. I am not sure about the style - are they frumpy?</p> <p>I would love to know what you think! Thanks </p>
