Seriously. Even getting fitted for new running shoes at the local running shop! I read these responses and it's like you all are from another planet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninteresting-footwear#post-1926364 Thu, 07 Jun 2018 06:21:36 +0000 Kate 1926364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sneakers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninteresting-footwear#post-1926048 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 12:21:33 +0000 Staysfit 1926048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loafers and pumps. Slip on shoes of any sort. Ugh! They never stay on my skinny heels. I love the look of these sorts of shoes but they don’t love me back. Sometimes I think I have found something that will work. I take them home and try wearing them around the house for a day or even two. If they pass that test, one would think they might work, but very often they do not. Once I step out my door, they inevitability end up sliding off my feet. I have given away more of these shoes than any other for faulty fit. </p> <p>I also have a hard time with running shoes, so I stock up on my favorite style when I can and pray they never stop making it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninteresting-footwear#post-1926046 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 12:12:57 +0000 Aquamarine 1926046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m with texstyle....I don’t like shopping for heels/dressy shoes for occasions. They are rarely worn, rarely truly comfortable, and seem to date pretty quickly, so I feel guilty eyeing them in my closet and then getting rid of them after just one or two wears. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninteresting-footwear#post-1926022 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 10:00:04 +0000 krishnidoux 1926022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Flip flops. Always too expensive. Always ugly and very uncomfortable looking. Cheaper ones are often impossible to try on before buying.&nbsp;<br />I need them for shower/gym/pool purposes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninteresting-footwear#post-1926011 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 08:39:56 +0000 Anonymous 1926011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My feet are such a problem that it usually goes feast or famine. I have learned to stop stressing about a) frequently not finding anything suitable and comfortable b) when I stumble on shoes that meet criteria I don’t freak if I have the opportunity to buy 2 or more different pair at a time.<br /> This happened recently- trainers, sandals and dress shoes in 1 shopping find....yay. Seize the day:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninteresting-footwear#post-1925995 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 06:21:37 +0000 Sal 1925995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't mind shoe shopping at all - except the cost....</p> <p>Until two years ago I did not own any flat "shoes" only boots, sandals or sneakers.&nbsp; I found that between a lighter boot and sandals I had little need for shoes.&nbsp; However I would struggle without boots and sandals!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninteresting-footwear#post-1925991 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 05:06:05 +0000 Gigi 1925991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Least interesting for me would be uber-comfort shoes--meaning something that I could walk for hours and hours in, if need be, and that could withstand a variety of weather types (rainy, cold, hot). These types of shoes are not usually very interesting in design, and many of them are too chunky for my small frame. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninteresting-footwear#post-1925984 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 04:28:02 +0000 Anonymous 1925984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I enjoy sifting through all shoe categories but bottom rung would maybe be performance sneakers, if I had to choose the least fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninteresting-footwear#post-1925983 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 03:56:43 +0000 rachylou 1925983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vacation shoes. Something that can stand up to extreme walking, keep the feet cool or warm as needed, and yet somehow be appropriate for a nice dinner or something. Always end up with something that screams tourist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninteresting-footwear#post-1925978 Wed, 06 Jun 2018 03:37:21 +0000 Jessikams 1925978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Every once in a while I need to buy flattish black shoes for choral performance. They have to be reeeeeeealllyyyy comfortable because we stand for hours and hours, between the final run-through and the performance. I usually end up with orthopedic shoes that are just passable but expensive. Not fun shopping! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninteresting-footwear#post-1925930 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 23:52:10 +0000 Suz 1925930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sometimes </b>(i.e. half the year)<b> necessary, but not fun to wear</b>: SNOW BOOTS. Feh.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, gear running shoes. I don't mind other gear shoes as much -- hiking shoes/ boots, cross-trainers. Those are fine and kind of interesting to shop for. I just don't find shopping for runners terribly enjoyable and I don't find them fun to wear. (I don't much like running, yet I do it enough that I need the footwear.)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Difficult to shop for</b>: Knee high boots (I'm hard to fit with shorter than average but relatively slim calves). Dressy flats (most are uncomfortable or unwearable -- won't stay on my feet and/or hurt.)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Least interesting</b>: Hmmm. I love footwear and am interested in most styles, at least theoretically. I guess the least interesting to me are absolute flats with zero support together with very high heels -- in both cases because I wouldn't ever wear them. But even those are interesting from a social historical perspective.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninteresting-footwear#post-1925924 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 22:53:27 +0000 Irina 1925924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don’t enjoy looking for winter boots. They must be low heel, warm, waterproof and with good grip soles. I have very difficult feet to fit - low volume, narrow heels, bunions. Most of the boots just look awful on me, too big and unstylish or too tight in the bunions’ area. Almost an impossible task </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninteresting-footwear#post-1925913 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 22:00:47 +0000 Aida 1925913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sneakers :p </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninteresting-footwear#post-1925912 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 22:00:19 +0000 texstyle 1925912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would say dress shoes such as something required for a wedding, etc. Those are my least favorite because I rarely need this type of shoe and they are rarely comfortable to wear for more than a couple of hours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninteresting-footwear#post-1925905 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 21:24:13 +0000 LaPed 1925905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll buck the trend here and say I *love* shopping for gear shoes. I like comparing specs like weight, stack height, drop, etc, and reading about innovative new materials. And I like using them! I find shopping for dress shoes pretty impossible: 99% of them look totally boring and not me, and the 1% left over rarely fits.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninteresting-footwear#post-1925863 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 17:55:32 +0000 Sara L. 1925863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't like to shop for any type of gear shoe - running shoes, hiking shoes, etc.&nbsp; They're usually expensive and necessary, but that doesn't mean I enjoy the process. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninteresting-footwear#post-1925862 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 17:48:39 +0000 bj1111 1925862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love shopping for any type of shoe.

They just aren't "me" but of course I need them anyway. I agree that sometimes we need shoes that are warmer than sandals but not booties. That's when I usually go for my loafers, not a huge fan of ballet flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninteresting-footwear#post-1925839 Tue, 05 Jun 2018 16:20:41 +0000 always trying 1925839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>what kind of footwear do you find leas interesting? least fun to shop for?sometimes necessary, but not fun to wear?, </p> <p>I am finding flats, all kinds, difficult to replace.&nbsp; These are hard for me to find anyhow, as slip ones fall off my feet.&nbsp; But sometimes it is too cold for sandals, too warm for booties, and sneakers are just not right.&nbsp; I have tried oxfords, loafers, and various kinds of flats.&nbsp; Nothing makes me happy, except cut out booties, and one very old pair of ballet flats with zippers in the back.&nbsp; I have 2 pairs of flats, one with laces and pointy toes, cute, comfy, but not interesting. Also a pair of nude loafer type,&nbsp; and some very old cut out oxfords.&nbsp; Not sure if I will keep any of these.Then I think they may come in handy sometime so I hang on to them. Periodically I look for something new, but never find anything.</p>
