Funny how the $32 sale price on the black heels made me willing to consider a shoe with less than perfect fit - back they go. The Soffts in #2 are staying (wearing them today in fact - go Team Wear!). I'm set to return 1, 3 and 5 and considering returning 4. Will try to get the shoes in 6. </p> <p>Jonesy - great observation on the Franco Sartos, they do seem a bit narrow for my foot, don't they? I didn't notice that before you mentioned it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/went-a-little-crazy-in-shoes-at-the-rack#post-631328 Tue, 29 May 2012 07:14:05 +0000 Deborah 631328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Christy, #1 look matronly to me also. They are a lovely shoe but I don't think they will for a forward style move.</p> <p>I like #2, the grey sandal in #4, #5 and #6. I'm on the fence about the black pumps as something just doesn't look quite right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/went-a-little-crazy-in-shoes-at-the-rack#post-631320 Tue, 29 May 2012 06:59:05 +0000 fashionista 631320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep/ Buy all!!!!. I loved all those especially 6 and both the version of 4. That shoes in 5 are so cute and not at all anywhere like Barbie. I loved all your shoes hunt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/went-a-little-crazy-in-shoes-at-the-rack#post-631315 Tue, 29 May 2012 06:05:04 +0000 diane 631315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i like 2, 4 (especially the gray with the double buckle), and 6. I will dream about #6. it is just the color I think. I adore that color. Texture is great too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/went-a-little-crazy-in-shoes-at-the-rack#post-631139 Tue, 29 May 2012 01:49:08 +0000 modgrl 631139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG Love 6!!! The rest are fabulous too but those are my favorites!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/went-a-little-crazy-in-shoes-at-the-rack#post-631137 Tue, 29 May 2012 01:44:52 +0000 citygirldc 631137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shoes, shoes and more shoes. I love 2, 4, 5 and 6. </p> <p>I always feel a shoe should have a little something something, or cool design or heel, because if you have a plain out fit, shoes can jazz it up big time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/went-a-little-crazy-in-shoes-at-the-rack#post-631127 Tue, 29 May 2012 01:40:26 +0000 Jonesy 631127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The 6s!!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely NO competition. The snakeskin is versatile, gorgeous, and very chic, and they seem to fit you perfectly. I like 4, but they look like they are too narrow (plus I really like the ones you already have that you are showing side by side). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/went-a-little-crazy-in-shoes-at-the-rack#post-631111 Tue, 29 May 2012 01:19:11 +0000 teeandcee 631111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not liking the fit of the first pair. I don't know enough about shoe fittings to know why, but they look too wide for your foot. In the pic at least I see a fairly large gap at your arch area. </p> <p>Otherwise I adore all the others (with the black pumps being somewhat iffy due to the size only). I personally love the turquoise sandals and don't think they look Barbie at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/went-a-little-crazy-in-shoes-at-the-rack#post-631099 Tue, 29 May 2012 01:02:43 +0000 christy 631099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay - #3 and #5 are going back. Keeping #4. Still on the fence about #1 but I'm thinking they are too matronly. Also still debating between #2 and the Oh! Shoes from Zappos - living in Seattle, I think the Oh! Shoes are more practical with the closed toe. Going back to get #6. And then I MUST stop shopping for shoes and start saving for NAS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/went-a-little-crazy-in-shoes-at-the-rack#post-631090 Tue, 29 May 2012 00:53:02 +0000 Anonymous 631090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep go back and grab those corsos... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/went-a-little-crazy-in-shoes-at-the-rack#post-631088 Tue, 29 May 2012 00:48:59 +0000 rae 631088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure if this will help you at all, but my favorites are BOTH versions in #4 and the CCs from #6. My vote is for the CC as a neutral go with everything pump that is still sassy, and the two brown sandals in 4 for all purpose brown options - I think they are different enough to keep both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/went-a-little-crazy-in-shoes-at-the-rack#post-631083 Tue, 29 May 2012 00:43:27 +0000 Anonymous 631083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the franco Sarto sandals in the same exact color. I wear them with everything. I like them all but #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/went-a-little-crazy-in-shoes-at-the-rack#post-631081 Tue, 29 May 2012 00:38:29 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 631081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Me Too's and think they would work with your conservative clean aesthetic. I think the buckle detail is nice but not too much.</p> <p>I like the Sofft brown/beige and think I would actually prefer them with the brown hose since they have a fairly high vamp and look almost like suede.</p> <p>The black have a fit issue so they are not 10s. Nuff said.</p> <p>I really like the franco sarto's and was planning to pick them as a favorite before I read the text and saw that you could keep them all. Mwahahaha.</p> <p>The turquoise and yellow are fun but trendy but at the price, do you care if they are one season wonders? If they make you smile, that has value.</p> <p>I like the last pair too. Nice soft color and textured pattern. Pretty but not too plain.</p> <p>I don't think I am much help since I seem to be advocating for all of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/went-a-little-crazy-in-shoes-at-the-rack#post-631080 Tue, 29 May 2012 00:37:52 +0000 bj1111 631080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>corso como snake and oh, oh, oh are great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/went-a-little-crazy-in-shoes-at-the-rack#post-631078 Tue, 29 May 2012 00:36:06 +0000 christy 631078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Argh! I KNEW I should have bought the Corso Comos (#6)! </p> <p>Suz, yes, the Corso Comos were really fairly comfortable for heels. The Me Toos in #1 would definitely be for work. But I'm not the lady who lunches type...hmmmm.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/went-a-little-crazy-in-shoes-at-the-rack#post-631076 Tue, 29 May 2012 00:35:04 +0000 Jaime 631076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Before I read the descriptions I decided my favorites are #2,4 and 6. If 2 is comfortable I would definitely keep them. I really like the look of the tan franco sartos and don't think they are similar to the halogens in color or vibe. I love 6 - gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/went-a-little-crazy-in-shoes-at-the-rack#post-631073 Tue, 29 May 2012 00:29:45 +0000 annagybe 631073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites are are #2 and #6. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/went-a-little-crazy-in-shoes-at-the-rack#post-631071 Tue, 29 May 2012 00:26:34 +0000 Suz 631071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Christy, you are hilarious. I would LOVE to come shoe shopping with you! </p> <p>Very quick impressions: </p> <p>1. Me Toos look sensible, yes, but also very pretty. However, it depends how dressy you are hoping to make them. Or how casual, for that matter. To my mind, these read work or ladies who lunch; if either is your main destination, go to it! </p> <p>2. The sandals are pretty on you and look as comfy as they probably feel. I myself would not wear them with hose, but that is just my own poison eye talking. </p> <p>3. I do not think these are the right black pumps. Don't fit right. </p> <p>4. I LIKE the Franco Sartos. They are similar in "vibe" to the Halogens, but the colour is warm vs. cool. I do not know whether that would affect your decision. Right now you are a little tan from Hawaii, and the warmer colour looks lovely against your skin. But perhaps in the early spring and fall the cooler tone would work better. I say if you have outfits that would benefit from these and they are a great deal, go for it. </p> <p>5. Barbie shoes: I love them! If you have something to wear them with, yes!</p> <p>6. Oooh. I love those!! Were they comfortable!? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/went-a-little-crazy-in-shoes-at-the-rack#post-631059 Tue, 29 May 2012 00:11:21 +0000 christy 631059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope you guys aren't tired of me posting shoes! All of the ones I posted before are going back so the search for a neutral shoe continues.</p> <p>1. Me Too low heeled pumps - Do these scream "oh what sensible shoes"? Cute or frumpy? Comfortable for certain. These will be the go-to neutral heel for skirts, dresses and a couple pairs of shorter pants.<br /> 2. Sofft brown suede sandals - These are super comfortable and I think I'll be able wear them with nude micro fish nets or brown tights in the fall. Do you think that would work? I do need a darker brown shoe.<br /> 3. Nine West black heels - These are a squidge too big, but I'm pretty sure if I put an insole in they'll be fine. They were on sale for $32, so pretty hard to resist a cute black pump. Which I actually do need. The inside is white, but I think it's more noticeable in the pictures than IRL. Hmmm...not sure I'm crazy about them looking at the pictures.<br /> 4. Franco Sarto sandal - also an incredible deal. But are they too similar to my Halogen sandals? (right side of collage has one Franco Sarto and one Halogen for comparison)<br /> 5. Bandolino turquoise and yellow peep toes - Have I entirely lost my mind with these? I thought they were super cute but now I'm wondering if they look like Barbie shoes. I have no desire to look like Barbie! LOL!</p> <p>I can keep any or all - the prices were *that* good. </p> <p>A couple of other questions:</p> <p>1. These Corso Comos are at the Rack for $50 I think. Should I have gotten these instead of the shoes in #1, 2 or 4? Picture #6 is a terrible photo of them on me. Sorry the quality is so bad.<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/corso-como-del-pump/3304175?origin=PredictiveSearch&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=442" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/co.....ltback=442</a></p> <p>2. The Soffts in #2 are in direct competition with these from Zappos, which are also *very* comfortable. Which ones do you like better for an all-purpose brown shoe? I don't have any dark brown heels. If I get the Oh! Shoes then a few of the other shoes here will have to go back.</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/oh-shoes-alana-brown-python-print?zfcTest=fw:1" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/oh-shoes.....cTest=fw:1</a></p> <p>If you've made it this far, you are truly a saint! </p>
