It sounds like they are really piquing your interest!</p> <p>Repetto is supposed to be an excellent brand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-2#post-2039261 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 04:49:01 +0000 Anonymous 2039261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look like you are barefoot.

I would not buy shoes online from a label I had not tried either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-2#post-2038859 Fri, 28 Jun 2019 19:59:42 +0000 Jane 2038859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Repetto - I have had a couple of beautiful shoes that wore really well. I like these a lot. But the brand is quite spendy! So, I would say, good call! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-2#post-2038825 Fri, 28 Jun 2019 17:27:37 +0000 smittie 2038825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like them. Good colour for white skin. Gives the impression of showing the whole foot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-2#post-2038762 Fri, 28 Jun 2019 13:09:12 +0000 RobinF 2038762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I just saw this but I love them! I would definitely wear them in AC and casually on weekends too. I know nothing about the brand though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-2#post-2038739 Fri, 28 Jun 2019 06:28:25 +0000 Liesbeth 2038739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanksfor the extra info. Because of all the concerns I had and you voiced, I decided against ordering. I just don't want to have that much money tied up in what would likely be a return. Also, I have a b&amp;m store shopping trip planned so better to look for shoes then. Fingers crossed I cannfind a similar style... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-2#post-2038711 Fri, 28 Jun 2019 01:29:02 +0000 Anonymous 2038711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those aren't really sandals-they're mostly covered! Practically booties really. Certainly doable in AC. Plus totally weekend appropriate too!<br /> That said-I personally have not ordered things due to potential shipping issues and lack of possible irl returns. And the cutouts could be dodgy too. Are there any reviews of them, maybe on Barking Dog Shoes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-2#post-2038631 Thu, 27 Jun 2019 19:15:55 +0000 nuancedream 2038631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Repetto makes very high quality shoes. Sadly, they never worked well on my higher volume feet. Those sandals are absolutely adorable, but I know from personal experience that toe cutouts can cause some serious foot pain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-2#post-2037540 Sat, 22 Jun 2019 16:15:50 +0000 Liesbeth 2037540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all. You are right about the toe cutout having potential for discomfort. I don't worry too much about sweat because my climate isn't too hot.<br /> Returns are mainly cumbersome because slow to process and not totally free (though only a symbolic 2,5€ cost).<br /> I'm still not convinced as I'm unsure about the cost per wear if I'm working in airco and living a very casual weekend lifestyle - so possibly these better fit my imaginary life :/. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-2#post-2037507 Sat, 22 Jun 2019 15:25:06 +0000 Glory 2037507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute sandals but tricky without trying. You mention returns are cumbersome but still doable? They might be worth a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-2#post-2037506 Sat, 22 Jun 2019 15:23:53 +0000 rachylou 2037506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They’re cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-2#post-2037505 Sat, 22 Jun 2019 15:23:30 +0000 Barbara Diane 2037505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the style of both. I have no idea as to the comfort level of the shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-2#post-2037498 Sat, 22 Jun 2019 15:09:19 +0000 bj1111 2037498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Karie said about sweaty feet. Blister city for me. But if you live in a cooler clime or you have dry feet, the style is cute especially in this blush color.</p> <p>I like th matchy purse but I’m matchy matchy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-2#post-2037484 Sat, 22 Jun 2019 14:08:53 +0000 Karie 2037484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice, but I agree with the others re the cutout at the toe. Plus if the leather fits very closely to your foot and your weather gets very humid, they might get uncomfortable and stick to your feet on hot summer days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-2#post-2037462 Sat, 22 Jun 2019 12:57:17 +0000 Carla 2037462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the kind of sandal I had been hoping to find for myself this summer, so it's a 'yay' from me. The purse is very pretty. I can't comment on the shopping experience since I'm a 'bricks and mortar' shopper. My online shopping experiences can be counted on one hand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-2#post-2037461 Sat, 22 Jun 2019 12:55:29 +0000 Janet 2037461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed with kkards— it’s just the kind of shoe that really needs to be tried to evaluate. Repetto makes very nice classic ballet flats — I got a pair after trying them in Paris many years ago, and they were super comfortable although maybe a little tricky to find the right size. My style shifted and I gave them away before they wore out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-2#post-2037460 Sat, 22 Jun 2019 12:38:18 +0000 kkards 2037460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>cute shoes....i find this kind of shoe can be really comfortable or super super uncomfortable....for me if the cut out for the toes hits at the wrong place its really annoying and uncomfortable...but if the cut out is in the right place its a great way to get a summer shoe but with more cover...if they are returnable, i'd give them a go... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-these-sandals-2#post-2037453 Sat, 22 Jun 2019 12:21:59 +0000 Liesbeth 2037453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I occasionally visit an online ‘exclusive sales’ website. I don’t know if there’s a term for it in English or if there are equivalent channels in your countries, but I’m talking about the type of webshop that offers limited time stock sales. I’ve been off this one for years as the delivery and return cycle is a bit more cumbersome (and slow) than with regular webshops. Also: huge enabler because of the short decision window. But I’ve returned recently because I have in the past found some amazing things through there, especially high quality purses, and I’m on the lookout for a purse again.</p> <p>Now, apart from a possible new purse, I also fell in love with a pair of sandals by the brand Repetto. It’s a French brand that’s supposed to be very comfortable and high quality. I’ve never personally tried them on as at regular price they are way outside my price range. Even with this stock sale, the price is still steep. And I don’t have that much occasion for wearing fancier style sandals (airconditioned office). But I haven’t found anything I’ve liked as much as these in months, or even years... and the color would be versatile with my summer wardrobe... and I’ve decided to pay more attention to ‘special’ (if not particularly statement) footwear... these tick all of those boxes! </p> <p>What do you think? Anyone familiar with the brand? Am I talking myself into an expensive folly or do you think these would be as versatile as I think they would be? Thoughts on the bag? Or generally on this type of shopping? </p>
