The heel height are so tall on this style it seems! I'm afraid that now that I'm a SAHM I need to stick with more practical heights, but the Swedish Hasbeens are growing on me. They're kind of expensive though. Well, maybe I will stalk some if I can figure out the color I want. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-next-thing-in-sandals#post-135392 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 16:37:46 +0000 JuliaInGermany 135392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ele, thanks for pointing that out, I hadn't seen sandal-booties until recently. And I'm with you in hoping that they won't become mainstream. Totally not my cup of tea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-next-thing-in-sandals#post-135358 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 14:16:05 +0000 Lee Hovey 135358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cciele thanks for the link, I think I am in shoe love with both the turquoise pairs on that first page!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-next-thing-in-sandals#post-135351 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 13:56:55 +0000 Ele 135351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are sandal booties, pregnantmom. Angie wrote about them last year:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2009/04/29/new-shoe-the-sandal-bootie/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2009/04/.....al-bootie/</a></p> <p>Personally, I think they're quite ugly, but to each her own! Angie likes them and actually got herself a pair:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2009/07/08/global-challenge-1-tel-aviv/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2009/07/.....-tel-aviv/</a></p> <p>They've been fringe for a year already, but my hunch is that this is one trend that likely won't become mainstream. (I can only hope...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-next-thing-in-sandals#post-135332 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 12:41:38 +0000 JuliaInGermany 135332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also see these kind of shoes a lot online lately (at least in German shoe stores). I haven't seen anyone wear them yet so I suppose it's the still a new trend:<br /> <a href="http://www.goertz.de/on/demandware.store/Sites-Goertz-Site/de_DE/Search-Show?q=schaft-sandaletten&#038;Submit+.x=0&#038;Submit+.y=0&#038;Submit+=OK" rel="nofollow">http://www.goertz.de/on/demand.....Submit+=OK</a></p> <p>Not that I like them at all.

They're a return to a '70s look, I think (which may have been redone in the '90s, I dunno):<br /> <a href="http://www.endless.com/s/ref=topnav_sk__gw/188-4490264-4395325/?onsale=&#038;showDesigner=&#038;node=241745011&#038;keywords=clog+sandals#__size=40&#038;dept=242334011&#038;node=242339011&#038;nodes=242339011&#038;keywords=clog~~20sandals&#038;sort=relevancerank&#038;tag=sr_nr_cat_242339011" rel="nofollow">http://www.endless.com/s/ref=t....._242339011</a><br /> <a href="http://www.endless.com/s/ref=topnav_sk__s/188-4490264-4395325/?onsale=&#038;showDesigner=&#038;node=241745011&#038;keywords=swedish+hasbeens" rel="nofollow">http://www.endless.com/s/ref=t.....h+hasbeens</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-next-thing-in-sandals#post-134706 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 20:52:18 +0000 Patience 134706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April, I saw those FP things in the catalog and I really just could not think anything.</p> <p>So where to look for said clog and clog sandals? Is this a return to the 90s again? I seem to remember have a pair or two of clogs back then. Of course, I'm not interested in the next thing simply for the sake of the next thing-- I have to like them too. And I've given up platforms higher than 1/2." I guess what I'm trying to say is that I have not seen this look at all and I'm going to wrap my head around them. But I'm willing to be guided!</p> <p>Thanks.</p> <p>P.S. Thanks, Julie. I lurk a few minutes here and a few minutes there. I love your house. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-next-thing-in-sandals#post-134396 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 20:08:50 +0000 Angie 134396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's all about the wooden clog and clog sandal as Julie and Cathy suggest. That's your next direction, Patience. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-next-thing-in-sandals#post-134377 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 19:14:27 +0000 cciele 134377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting that you're seeing gladiators everywhere, Patience!

I think I just scarred my retinas looking at those.</p> <p>It looks like sandal booties are still going strong, although I still don't care for the look and don't think it makes much sense in your climate. Definitely seeing lots of wood platform cloggy type shoes.

Have you seen Cciele's Swedish Hasbeens?</p> <p>p.s. I love your unexpected appearances on the forum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-next-thing-in-sandals#post-134346 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 17:01:35 +0000 Patience 134346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been thinking about sandals lately as things warm up around here and I'm wonderiing what the next thing in sandals is. I've been seeing gladiators everywhere and like Angie my trendy side is ready to move on when it comes to footwear. I know caged sandals are big but they seem like part of the gladiator trend. What do you see as being fringe this year? Thanks. </p>
