I'm not sure.... They could look unflattering (imo) with some basic things, like jeans for example. I would also agree with someone above who said to think of them more as booties....I am not sure how I would ever wear some of the shoes now that are like a mix of boots and flats... like <a href="http://www.spartoo.co.uk/Regard-RADALI-x109243.php" rel="nofollow">these</a> for example... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-black-flats/page/2#post-1224569 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 11:35:49 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1224569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kat - thanks for chiming in with your personal review of the EF shoes. My feet definitely would not have worked in those shoes based on your info - I have high volume, bordering on wide feet with bunions. Now I know.</p> <p>Glad you like the ones I brought home ladies </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-black-flats/page/2#post-1224501 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 08:55:08 +0000 Deborah 1224501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon I love the EF ones but get you on cost. It's the same for us in Aus re shipping etc. The ones you bought are fab. Love them even more I think. The shape and pointed toe is just lovely. I would suggest they will elongate the leg even tho they are quite low heeled. Beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-black-flats/page/2#post-1224443 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 05:28:52 +0000 CocoLion 1224443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your new shoes! &nbsp;So much better than the EFs I think, they would have stumpified all but Sveta. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-black-flats#post-1224424 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 04:50:33 +0000 Beth Ann 1224424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the shoes that found their way home with you!&nbsp; They're comfy, but ladylike and refined.&nbsp; I noticed the EF ones in their ad campaign --- I find I just have to feel and see the shoes on my feet to have any sense of whether or not they'll work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-black-flats#post-1224399 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 04:10:11 +0000 deb 1224399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good news, they were meant to be yours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-black-flats#post-1224398 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 04:06:45 +0000 Suz 1224398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great find, Shannon!!

But I saw them in person yesterday and had the same fear about the ankle band stumpifying my legs.&nbsp;It's too bad, because I could really use a pair of simple pointy-toe flats that I can wear absolutely everywhere comfortably. I bet they'd do the trick. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-black-flats#post-1224248 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 01:35:53 +0000 Caro in Oz 1224248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh snakeskin Love these TS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-black-flats#post-1224244 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 01:32:42 +0000 lyn* 1224244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These new alternative choice ones are pretty fab - love the ziggy-zaggy-ness! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-black-flats#post-1224225 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 01:15:06 +0000 Anonymous 1224225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great find, Shannon. I have a wardrobe hole for something like this, a strappy black summer shoe with a small heel. I'm thrilled that you have found yours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-black-flats#post-1224214 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 01:02:44 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1224214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me too Aida! I'm in love with this brand (Fugitive by Francesco Rossi). They are unique and unbelievably well made and comfortable.</p> <p>I should mention because the shoes look shiny that they are snakeskin embossed leather so catch the light with the pattern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-black-flats#post-1224210 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 00:59:09 +0000 Aida 1224210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! I like these much more than the original pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-black-flats#post-1224209 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 00:58:05 +0000 pil 1224209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-black-flats#post-1224203 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 00:53:01 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1224203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you believe in fate???</p> <p>I decided against these shoes for the reasons many of you mentioned, as well as the cost of these in Canadian dollars plus shipping.</p> <p>Then I went with DS to Canadian Footwear to check out this new brand of steel toe work boots he's looking at. While there, these black beauties caught my eye. Do you remember my bone and silver "sandal shoes" I bought last spring that were so incredibly comfy and I wore and wore (and will be again once warm enough)? These black ones were the same brand. My size. Last pair. 50% off. Tried them on and they are every bit as comfy as the bone ones. The heel height is completely manageable. Needless to say, I brought them home with me. Sorry for the bad pics but hopefully you get the idea. </p> <p>With these, my bone version, the pewter wedge peep toes I bought and a few other sandals I already have and my peep toe kitten heels in black and nude, I am set for spring and summer footwear. And all pairs are comfy - whoo hoo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-black-flats#post-1224130 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 23:29:52 +0000 Aida 1224130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ambivalent&nbsp;on the shoes themselves, but I would have trouble getting over the name "Allot"; though&nbsp;often spelled with one L, <a href="http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/04/alot-is-better-than-you-at-everything.html" rel="nofollow">the elusive Alot</a> still comes to mind&nbsp;;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-black-flats#post-1224106 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 23:08:12 +0000 Jules 1224106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The elastic ankle band reminds me a bit of a neoprene tensor bandage/brace, unfortunately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-black-flats#post-1224079 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 22:43:57 +0000 rachylou 1224079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them.

They might be fab with black pedal pushers though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-black-flats#post-1224034 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 21:33:46 +0000 Carla 1224034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>TS...I think somebody already reviewed these about 2 weeks ago. Not sure who. Maybe Shiny or Greyscale? I'll do some looking around to see what I can find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-black-flats#post-1224032 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 21:33:12 +0000 Lyn D. 1224032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-black-flats#post-1224023 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 21:16:36 +0000 Thistle 1224023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, I would try them if you can do so without financial risk. </p> <p>I feel like these could be winners, but they would have to be just right. YKWIM? It would be easy for them to become leg shortening or stumpifing with the thick rather than feminine ankle strap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-black-flats#post-1223986 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 20:17:29 +0000 Joyce B 1223986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love those shoes!

They would look really good with peddle pushers. </p>
