Sam Edelman is the Sam from Libby and Sam brand, I think. Those are both pretty high end brands. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-1#post-380863 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 18:55:23 +0000 JaneF 380863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"Old lady shoes"?

Some of you might remember the fab b&amp;w polka dot dress I bought a while back. When I put it on for an evening event, my husband's reaction was very "meh"... until I put on the high-heeled special occasion black stilettos. His tune totally changed then! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-1#post-380386 Fri, 08 Jul 2011 01:37:11 +0000 Angie 380386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FWIW, I think they are fab too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-1#post-380299 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 21:07:59 +0000 Aziraphale 380299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the sandal love, ladies! My husband did say that maybe they would look better with, you know, actual clothes, as opposed to the scrubby sleeveless t-shirt nightie I was wearing when I tried them on for him. And I showed them to my mother-in-law today, and she's got fantastic taste, and she loved 'em too. So they are keepers! </p> <p>Now I'm just sad that I have to give them back to my mom so she can wrap them and save them for my birthday. Oh well, something to look forward to! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-1#post-380275 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 20:23:42 +0000 Marley 380275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-1#post-380182 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 18:44:17 +0000 RoseandJoan 380182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look fabulously tribal to me, not at all granny chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-1#post-380180 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 18:40:39 +0000 MNsara 380180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect balance bling and fun in a summer sandal.

Like Una, I can't wear shoes with toe thongs, especially not if they also have a heel, but if they are comfy for you, go for it! </p> <p>I like a bit of bling on shoes and I think one can get away with more of it on shoes especially since they are sandals and will likely be worn with bare legs/feet. My theory is that shoes are so far away from your face and other jewelry that they won't clash even if they are super blingy. =) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-1#post-380093 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 17:00:52 +0000 Aziraphale 380093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been wearing them around the house all morning and I've decided that (a) yes, they are very comfortable, and (b) my husband is blind. They look fantastic with both bootleg jeans or a short denim skirt. They even work with dark denim skinnies. </p> <p>Una, the problem is, my husband and I usually agree in matters of fashion, which is why I was second-guessing myself! If he had no style, I'd pay no attention to his comments. </p> <p>Mo, I think you're right about men associating embellishments with old lady style. My grandma had a lot of chunky jewellery and embellished sweaters that did look "old lady". Mind you, some of her jewellery would have looked fantastic had her clothing been more fashionable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-1#post-380044 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 15:37:35 +0000 MsMary 380044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute! Love 'em! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-1#post-380040 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 15:30:27 +0000 Mo 380040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they have just a big of 'edge' as you said. My BF sometimes equates embellishments with 'old lady' looks - I think they can't separate a newer embellished look from a gaudy version their Gma's might have worn decades ago. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-1#post-380015 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 14:48:18 +0000 Heather 380015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is one hot "old lady" wearing those shoes! </p> <p>Elisabeth, I really like them. I think you should give them a spin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-1#post-380012 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 14:39:05 +0000 Freckles 380012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome shoes which sound like they fit your needs. Wear them in the house for a few days to see how comfy they are would be my suggestion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-1#post-379985 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 13:35:05 +0000 Queen Mum 379985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>old lady shoes? I don't see anything old lady about them. I really like them, and if they are comfy I vote keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-1#post-379949 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 11:53:40 +0000 Janet 379949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they're cool! I think I may have seen those in Nordstrom and admired them. And I'm not a blingy person. I think they're one of those things that looks much better on the foot than in a picture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-1#post-379914 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 06:07:03 +0000 catgirl 379914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAHAHAHA! My husband thinks my Fluevogs and clunky boots are frumpy. That's why I don't pay any attention to him fashion-wise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-1#post-379913 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 05:59:55 +0000 Aziraphale 379913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My husband thinks they're old lady shoes. Boo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-1#post-379909 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 05:46:22 +0000 catgirl 379909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They actually hurt me! And it's odd, because they are de rigeur in India. My feet are probably not toughened up since I have so little occasion to wear such shoes. The only way you can know is to try them. Sam Edelman is a nice brand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-1#post-379904 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 05:35:09 +0000 Aziraphale 379904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really? I love toe thong shoes! The heel isn't very high, either. I'm not planning on hiking in them or anything (!) but I do need a pair of stylish sandals (read: not flip flops) that I can wear out and about in the summer without getting sore feet. Do you not like toe thongs because they actually hurt, or is it just that you prefer not to have fabric between your toes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-1#post-379901 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 05:31:14 +0000 catgirl 379901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are really fun and a little wild! The toe thong plus the heel would be a deal-breaker for me as a walking shoe, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-1#post-379899 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 05:29:23 +0000 Aziraphale 379899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was out shopping with my mom today, and came across these:</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/sam-edelman-nalo-pewter" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/sam-edelman-nalo-pewter</a></p> <p>...which I think are more than a little awesome, although I've never owned anything quite like them before. My mom really liked them too, and urged me to try them on, and in the end bought them for me for my upcoming birthday, which was lovely of her. They do sort of fill a wardrobe hole, too, since in the way of sandals my choices are either Reef flip flops, clunky Dr. Martens fisherman sandals or dressy black sandals with tiny straps. These seem like they could either be dressed up or dressed down, and they're wedges, which makes them easy to walk in. But I'm not normally a wedge sort of person. What do you think? Are they awesome, or a bit too blingy? Does anyone have any experience with the Sam Edelman brand? There got good reviews on Zappos. Are they likely to be comfy after a day of walking? </p>
