I love them and wear them because to me they seem exceedingly retro and I get a kick out of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-reaction-to-these-sandals#post-1203246 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 01:48:04 +0000 ClaraT 1203246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote not hip and not matronly. They look like MOTG workhorses to me (if comfy) as cute with shorts, pants, or skirts. For your style as described above, perfect.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-reaction-to-these-sandals#post-1203205 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 00:56:18 +0000 Elle 1203205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've seen them on and they skew towards matronly but with the right elements (maybe BF jeans, fluid top), you could make them hip.&nbsp; With toddlers, you need to be able to move- so these might work for you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-reaction-to-these-sandals#post-1203167 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 00:12:42 +0000 Kim 1203167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are very nice and will be crazy comfy, but they are a bit matronly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-reaction-to-these-sandals#post-1200948 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 15:01:08 +0000 columbine(erin) 1200948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mander, Liz, and Glory, thanks for your thoughts. I don't have hipster elements to my style, really, so I'll have to be aware of not wearing the sandals in a frumpy way. I do have some polka dot items I think would fun with these, for a slightly retro look, which would be fun. In fact I have a navy polka wrap dress I never wear even though it looks good on me, because none of my shoes are right with it. So, when the budget permits, I think I"ll try these.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-reaction-to-these-sandals#post-1200869 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 13:43:34 +0000 Liz 1200869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you're a young-enough mom to have toddlers, my reaction is that these shoes aren't modern enough, unless you have a very quirky, retro-ish style.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-reaction-to-these-sandals#post-1200861 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 13:28:15 +0000 Glory 1200861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another like here. I can see them with white jeans or denim skirt and looking quite nice. I think you will need to try to be sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-reaction-to-these-sandals#post-1200825 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 11:37:56 +0000 Mander 1200825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them, myself, but then my taste in shoes seems to be a bit matronly and/or sporty. I am often still drawn to looks that were popular in the 90s in my home state, where the mountains were a 20 minute drive away and people regularly dressed as if they were about to go for a hike, even if they were only hiking to the coffee shop.</p> <p>The important thing, though, is that they are 1) not hideous, and 2) practical. &nbsp;I particularly like the lower heel. &nbsp;Lately I am finding that I just can't handle anything over two inches, especially not if I am going to be walking around at all.</p> <p>In fact I might even look for a pair of these myself... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-reaction-to-these-sandals#post-1200702 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 04:11:59 +0000 columbine(erin) 1200702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your thoughts Adelfa and Cocolion. I really don't have any fun comfortable shoes or sandals right now, except some tall fake leather boots and my running shoes and a pair of new flat leather sandals.&nbsp;I guess my challenge if I try these sandals is to look for some 2014 ways of wearing them. As a mom these look like I could chase the toddlers in them without killing myself so that's a plus.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-reaction-to-these-sandals#post-1200697 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 04:00:58 +0000 CocoLion 1200697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They have that comfort shoe aspect, which is what is making them matronly. &nbsp; But hey, I wear clogs to work (restaurant), so I'm not knocking them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-reaction-to-these-sandals#post-1200670 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 03:25:52 +0000 columbine(erin) 1200670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gigi, very true, they might look different on my feet than in the pictures. Suzanne, I don't remember those shoes, but thought the first time I saw these wendy's that they sorta look retro. Just a bit like something I've seen on Modcloth. I like that. Jaileen, thanks for that tip; I also saw them cheaper on Amazon. Rachylou, I'm starting to look for your comments because you always make me smile. Infinitea, thanks for your thoughts. If I do try these I'll try not to wear ankle pants and cardigans with them. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-reaction-to-these-sandals#post-1200665 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 03:21:03 +0000 Adelfa 1200665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think as part of a quirky look they could be quite hip. With classic clothes they might veer towards matronly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-reaction-to-these-sandals#post-1200633 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 02:57:36 +0000 JAileen 1200633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you decide to get them they're cheaper on Zappos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-reaction-to-these-sandals#post-1200626 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 02:48:32 +0000 JAileen 1200626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If the rest if your outfit were modern, I think they would look ok. I like them, actually. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-reaction-to-these-sandals#post-1200623 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 02:42:14 +0000 rachylou 1200623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't feel they're matronly. I think those are upscale hipster shoes. They could get kinda hippie librarian, tho, if you wore fleece with them... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-reaction-to-these-sandals#post-1200622 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 02:41:22 +0000 suzanne 1200622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-reaction-to-these-sandals#post-1200620 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 02:40:38 +0000 suzanne 1200620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They remind me of shoes that were popular in the early 80s...kind of like Bandolinos. Do you remember those? So they actually seem retro to me. I've seen them advertised and thought that about them. The Bandolinos back then had wedge heels I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-reaction-to-these-sandals#post-1200614 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 02:32:30 +0000 Gigi 1200614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My feeling is that they're veering toward matronly but aren't there yet. I think styling might have a large part to play in how they will look.</p> <p>Shoes are tough sometimes. They can sometimes look really different on your feet than they do in a picture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-reaction-to-these-sandals#post-1200612 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 02:30:59 +0000 Anonymous 1200612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Certainly well made and no doubt very comfortable, but....I'd pass because the pizazz factor is missing for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-reaction-to-these-sandals#post-1200606 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 02:25:25 +0000 columbine(erin) 1200606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your experience, Pastrygirl, and thoughts, Ambergreen.

If you wore them with other, fashion-forward items, it could work for a "hip to be..." yeah, that thing. </p> <p>(Am I ever tired of that phrase...and all the fashion puns. 'Cause I'm old and have heard them all, year after year... ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-reaction-to-these-sandals#post-1200600 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 02:20:58 +0000 pastrygirl 1200600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My initial reaction is...matronly. But maybe they look better on? Clarks always walks a fine line. I love their shoes and own a few, but I always second-guess myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-reaction-to-these-sandals#post-1200586 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 02:12:31 +0000 columbine(erin) 1200586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm looking for some navy sandals with a bit of heel and liked these but wonder if they could be too matronly looking:&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.clarksusa.com/eng/product/wendy_river/26069521">http://www.clarksusa.com/eng/p.....r/26069521</a> </p>
