I knew you'd help! That's given me lots of ideas to work with. I know some of you can't imagine closed toes in summer but the UK is often quite cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-go-to-closed-toe-summer-shoes-for-dressesskirts#post-356254 Thu, 26 May 2011 15:46:02 +0000 Desmo April 356254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't EVER wear open toed shoes/sandals. Long story short, I'm basically missing the nail on my big toe. Summer shoes are a huge challenge for me. I always have an array of flats. The current workhorses are a silver pair and a black pair. Both are super comfortable and have some support.</p> <p>I have these shoes - Rockport Ella II in cobalt blue. The slingback makes them a little more summery. 6pm might still have that color.<br /> <a href="http://www.zappos.com/rockport-ella-ii-sling-back-fondente-leather" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/rockport.....te-leather</a></p> <p>I also have ankle strap clogs from Mia that are my casual staple.</p> <p>I have a tons more on my wishlist! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-go-to-closed-toe-summer-shoes-for-dressesskirts#post-356151 Thu, 26 May 2011 13:30:14 +0000 Irene 356151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think I could wear a closed leather shoe in summer, way too hot, and sweaty and hurtful to my feet. At the most, I could wear ballet flats made of fabric, but that's too casual for most working environments.

I don't think I even wore sandals (other than flip flops). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-go-to-closed-toe-summer-shoes-for-dressesskirts#post-356079 Thu, 26 May 2011 05:54:02 +0000 wilson 356079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These were workhorses for me last summer:</p> <p><a href="http://cn1.kaboodle.com/hi/img/b/0/0/f0/f/AAAAC3svTy0AAAAAAPD9Aw.jpg?v=1284598740000" rel="nofollow">http://cn1.kaboodle.com/hi/img.....4598740000</a></p> <p>They are from a brand called Chelsea Crew; the heel looks higher in this photo than they are in real life. The nude color makes them "light" enough to handle summery dresses and skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-go-to-closed-toe-summer-shoes-for-dressesskirts#post-356074 Thu, 26 May 2011 05:40:56 +0000 Aida 356074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If not wearing sandals I like light or colored closed-toe heels in warmer weather.

Colors: black, taupe, blue, chocolate, teal, wine, silvery-taupe, olive. Heels: mostly ballet flats, some 3" heel mary-janes and t-straps (very comfortable despite the height).</p> <p>Try a lower heel peep-toe shoe in a light or bright color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-go-to-closed-toe-summer-shoes-for-dressesskirts#post-355822 Wed, 25 May 2011 21:52:44 +0000 Mo 355822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the Dr. Scholl's flats that are very comfortable. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dr-Scholls-Womens-Graduate-Ballet/dp/B0026L5K38/ref=pd_sbs_shoe_1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Dr-Schol.....sbs_shoe_1</a> They have been my recovery shoe since spraining my ankle, basically, along with the comfortable but definitely unseemly Birkenstocks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-go-to-closed-toe-summer-shoes-for-dressesskirts#post-355819 Wed, 25 May 2011 21:44:25 +0000 Aziraphale 355819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh!

Worth every penny. I wouldn't wear them in the sweltering heat, however.

I have to wear closed-toes, so I wear ballets flats (like those in my current WIW) or moccasins. The trouble is I don't find these flimsy flats very comfortable. I am looking for a "comfort" flat or small heel at the moment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-go-to-closed-toe-summer-shoes-for-dressesskirts#post-355761 Wed, 25 May 2011 20:28:33 +0000 Louise 355761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm just getting into this too. All my shoes felt too heavy for summer. I have now got some flat red mary janes and some small heeled pale grey shoes. Both are 8 hour, in fact it is now my mission to only buy 8 hour shoes. Tan would be another good colour or something bright like yellow. x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-go-to-closed-toe-summer-shoes-for-dressesskirts#post-355754 Wed, 25 May 2011 20:21:05 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 355754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've finally realised why I often don't feel like wearing skirts and dresses in summer! It's the shoes!</p> <p>The only shoes I had until last year that were suitable for wearing with skirts/dresses were black or navy pumps, and they feel wrong for summer.</p> <p>Last year I bought both flat and wedged sandals. Sorted for that. I've also bought some light coloured Mary-janes. But the heel on those is too high for everyday.</p> <p>So I'm looking to find out what people wear as 8 hour shoes with a closed toe to get some ideas. Any thoughts to help me get started would be wonderful! Colours, shapes, vibes, heels.... </p>
