I get so tired of lacing shoes.

Not sure, but I'm totally all for the velvet ones! so cute </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-between-these-shoes#post-1846646 Wed, 20 Sep 2017 18:59:15 +0000 The Cat 1846646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love velvet, so I feel very attracted to the velvet ones. To me, they are different (in a positive way). So far, I haven't seen a pair of velvet sneakers in real life. But when I get the opportunity, I would love to try them on. And if I buy them, I guess I will use a protection spray. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-between-these-shoes#post-1846634 Wed, 20 Sep 2017 17:54:17 +0000 cindysmith 1846634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have 2 pairs of velvet slip-on sneakers. I wear them to work at a produce stand. They're actually really easy to clean/care for. Dried bits of fruit wipe off easily with a slightly wet rag, then I let them sit out overnight to make sure they're dry so I don't get any mold/mildew. I say if you have other sneakers/shoes for gross weather, gethe some velvet ones </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-between-these-shoes#post-1846633 Wed, 20 Sep 2017 17:46:45 +0000 Kathleen 1846633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good idea JAileen.&nbsp; Of course the ones I find that I like best are not really sneakers but loafers.</p> <p></p> <p>And then I see these Liberty ankle boots at Nordstrom.&nbsp; I'm really going down a velvet rabbit hole here but WOW!&nbsp;</p> <p></p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-between-these-shoes#post-1846618 Wed, 20 Sep 2017 16:43:09 +0000 JAileen 1846618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why don't you look for velvet slip ons? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-between-these-shoes#post-1846614 Wed, 20 Sep 2017 16:23:33 +0000 Emily K 1846614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm no help--I prefer the velvet ones--they are really fab!--but they do not serve your need for EITHER a slip-on or a multi-purpose-maybe-crummy-weather shoe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-between-these-shoes#post-1846612 Wed, 20 Sep 2017 16:12:48 +0000 Sisi 1846612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like very much the navy slip-ons. But I am biased ( I don't like sneakers, sorry). Let's see what other Fabbers say. I bet I am in the minority. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-between-these-shoes#post-1846609 Wed, 20 Sep 2017 16:02:22 +0000 Anonymous 1846609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would get the Velvet ones since you already have other sneakers to wear. They look great! Love the colour! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-between-these-shoes#post-1846608 Wed, 20 Sep 2017 15:57:45 +0000 Kathleen 1846608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So while I'm still hunting for boots to wear for my trip to Europe in December, I also need some casual shoes ideally slip-on to wear for casual days, errands and walking the dogs until it snows.</p> <p>I like the navy slip on pair and they are probably the more practical choice but I really <b><u>love</u></b> the idea of the velvet sneaker even though I don't think they are practical.&nbsp; I do have several other pairs of sneakers I could wear if the weather was bad but still.</p> <p>What would YLF do?</p>
