Even almond toe doesn't always work for me! Recently I struck it lucky with some pointy-toed booties, which are made of soft leather (yay stretching!) and seem to me like they're wide until the last possible moment before they taper to a point. Wait, I just read a comment above - "equilateral triangle" is the best description for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-sitting-out-the-pointy-toed-shoes-trend/page/2#post-1305187 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 15:57:00 +0000 gradfashionista 1305187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;Not I. My foot problems are too severe to even look twice at pointed footwear. Despite the aesthetics, I cringe when I see women wearing them because of how bad they are for your feet and back, even when they seem comfy. But maybe that's sour grapes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-sitting-out-the-pointy-toed-shoes-trend/page/2#post-1305053 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 13:44:48 +0000 Golden 1305053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love pointy toes too if not too extreme. I have 4 pairs and love them all, but the heel is about 3 inches so I can wear the all day. One is Calvin Klein Ashley and the other three are the Michael Michael kors flex fit mid (I think)....I love the look...simple, elegant, modern and retro at the same time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-sitting-out-the-pointy-toed-shoes-trend/page/2#post-1304856 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 06:10:07 +0000 Astrid 1304856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They don't fit my feet and sizing up is not an option or the shoes are too big allover. So I don't think this is for me! I might be able to do a "less round" look though, I think I prefer more of an almond shape anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-sitting-out-the-pointy-toed-shoes-trend/page/2#post-1304851 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 05:52:56 +0000 columbine(erin) 1304851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have Ivanka trump eyelet navy heels for dressier occasions and love the sophisticated pointy look. For every day though I admit I'm just wearing Clark's Wendy river sandals every day, I love the comfort and slightly retro look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-sitting-out-the-pointy-toed-shoes-trend/page/2#post-1304843 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 05:24:53 +0000 Neel 1304843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Windchime - Almonds toes are comfier and they never go out of fashion. I like them too :)</p> <p>Gracie - I dislike very round toes and square shaped toes too. But they sure are comfy :). Glad pointy toes work for you. You have killer shoe collection!</p> <p>Melinda - Those shoes are absolutely beautiful! No wonder you loved them enough to splurge.</p> <p>MsMary - *Giggling at the triangle reference* but that was smack dang right!! The equilateral triangle ones definitely have more toe wiggle area and look better than the witchy isosceles ones! One could bet you know your shoes well :)</p> <p>Mander - Fingers crossed the right pair comes your way :)</p> <p>MsKK- I have been following your shoe woes posts. And it stinks to be in that situation. Glad you are finding ways to tackle the issues :). Your shoe choices are fantastic and really you don't need pointy toes to look gorgeous or trendy. You have a cool edgy factor which will always remain in style :)</p> <p>DonnaF - Commiserating. My pointy toes are mostly sitting shoes too :(</p> <p>Joy - Great point about leg lengthening when you don't wear heels. Makes complete sense. I will keep looking out for the perfect pointy toed flats </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-sitting-out-the-pointy-toed-shoes-trend/page/2#post-1304708 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 02:34:11 +0000 Anonymous 1304708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm finding that the right shaped pointy toed shoes are actually very comfortable. The front needs to be wide in the toe area, then come to a point after clearing the toes. Since I can't wear heels, I like the leg lengthening of pointy toes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-sitting-out-the-pointy-toed-shoes-trend/page/2#post-1304630 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 01:28:13 +0000 DonnaF 1304630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Same as MsKK.&nbsp; :(&nbsp; I need a bigger toe box.&nbsp; Moreover, pointy toed shoes tend to have flexible soles, and with my hallux rigidus my feet just don't flex.&nbsp; Ouch!&nbsp; Love the look, however.&nbsp; And I DO wear my rather pointy toed pumps at work when I know I'll be sitting all day since they are sitting shoes and I have a hard time keeping them on due to narrow heels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-sitting-out-the-pointy-toed-shoes-trend/page/2#post-1304567 Wed, 16 Jul 2014 00:21:46 +0000 MsLuna 1304567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't. my arthritic feet scream at me when I wear them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-sitting-out-the-pointy-toed-shoes-trend/page/2#post-1304467 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 22:32:46 +0000 Mander 1304467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not that keen on them myself. I prefer a more almond shape. But who knows, I may find a pair to fall in love with yet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-sitting-out-the-pointy-toed-shoes-trend/page/2#post-1304226 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 18:47:32 +0000 MsMary 1304226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm embracing pointy toes.&nbsp; I've replaced many of my round-toed pumps with pointies and I found it gave my whole look a real boost.&nbsp; It seems like the latest iteration of pointy toed shoes are much more of an equilateral triangle look, rather than the witchy isosceles triangles of the last time around, which fits my wide-at-the-toes feet much better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-sitting-out-the-pointy-toed-shoes-trend/page/2#post-1304185 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 18:14:57 +0000 Melinda SF 1304185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've got size 11 feet and pointy toes always make me feel like a witch. &nbsp;plus they really crush my toes. so in general I'll be sitting this out. &nbsp;<br />Ballet flats mostly are a no go for me, because they always gap at the arch. &nbsp;I am not sure if that means I am a high or low volume foot. &nbsp;Tieks works really well for me as do most low heeled open toed shoes (I think that makes me high volume). Fortunately in SF I can wear open toed shoes most of the time, with a few pairs of boots for rainy days. &nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.barkingdogshoes.com/images/old/6a00e54ee19bb78834019b0148cd8a970c-pi.jpg">I splurged on these Taryn Rose "Fierce" Shoes in black patent</a>&nbsp;last season and they will most likely be my "dress" shoes til they disintegrate. &nbsp;Next stop is a pair in neutral. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-sitting-out-the-pointy-toed-shoes-trend/page/2#post-1304157 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 17:51:40 +0000 Gracie 1304157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've always loved pointy toes, so I have all manner of pointy-toe shoes and booties I dislike a very rounded or blunt/square cut toe box though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-sitting-out-the-pointy-toed-shoes-trend/page/2#post-1304151 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 17:45:15 +0000 Windchime 1304151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Almonds, not points, for me. I can't get my toes into pointy toes in my size, and if I size up, I feel self- conscious about how long my feet look. In the meantime, I'm loving almond toes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-sitting-out-the-pointy-toed-shoes-trend/page/2#post-1304146 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 17:38:07 +0000 Neel 1304146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kkards - I totally get you. I feel the same with extremely round toed ballet flats (which I avoid). Almond toes work best for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-sitting-out-the-pointy-toed-shoes-trend#post-1304118 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 17:18:48 +0000 kkards 1304118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>neel, i have really small feet, so most pointy toe shoes actually make my feet look proportional to the rest of me. sometimes regular sneakers make my feet look stumpy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-sitting-out-the-pointy-toed-shoes-trend#post-1304098 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 16:59:16 +0000 Neel 1304098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Susie - Glad they work well for your feet! But truly weird about the sizing issues!</p> <p>Keturah - I wish I found good pointy toe flats for my feet. I might wear them to death!</p> <p>Sterling - Argh! Temptation gets the best of most of us I hope you get to resell them and get back at least a bit of your money back.</p> <p>Sveta - Annoying situation to be in But thankfully there are other shoes still out there that are comfortable yet trendy. Thank god for that! Else half of us might be the super traditional when it comes to footwear.</p> <p>Kkards - *giggling* Pointy toe sneakers? You truly love pointy toes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-sitting-out-the-pointy-toed-shoes-trend#post-1304092 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 16:50:47 +0000 kkards 1304092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i love pointy toes! love them! i am so glad they are back! i wear pointy toe flats, heels ( mostly 2 inch), booties, i'd wear pointy toe sneakers if i ever found a pair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-sitting-out-the-pointy-toed-shoes-trend#post-1304086 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 16:47:38 +0000 Sveta 1304086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them but cannot find comfortable for my wide toes&nbsp; - and usually I don't have a luxury of sizing up at all :-(<br />I guess almond toes will be my "pointy" substitute... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-sitting-out-the-pointy-toed-shoes-trend#post-1304085 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 16:45:26 +0000 Anonymous 1304085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sadly, I was seduced. &nbsp;I bought multiple pairs (different colors, different heel heights, etc.). &nbsp;I found out I can't wear them. &nbsp;They are still in my closet (unworn). &nbsp;Sigh. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-sitting-out-the-pointy-toed-shoes-trend#post-1304079 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 16:38:50 +0000 Anonymous 1304079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>rabbit - so bang-on with your comment about the vamp too - that is why I can't wear these Ivanka Trump ones. They are cut too low across the front and don't cover what they need to. &nbsp;Finding that proper fit is a big issue for all of us, I see. Manufacturers- are you listening? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-sitting-out-the-pointy-toed-shoes-trend#post-1304073 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 16:27:41 +0000 Keturah 1304073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them for ballet flats of any kind. Otherwise I find myself going for peep toes, almond, or round toes,&nbsp;etc., if it's a heeled shoe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-sitting-out-the-pointy-toed-shoes-trend#post-1304063 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 16:23:04 +0000 Susie 1304063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not me! I love pointy toes and even though I have widish feet I can find them to fit. I especially like my heeled booties with pointy toes. I did size up a half size in most of them. Oddly, I sized down a half size in a pair of pointy pumps I recently bought. I think I only have one pair of pointy flats and they are comfortable enough, I just don't wear as many flat shoes in general. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-sitting-out-the-pointy-toed-shoes-trend#post-1304056 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 16:16:24 +0000 Neel 1304056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz - Your okalas look lovely on you. And fingers crossed you find your perfect low heeled pointy toes!</p> <p>April - You will have lot of company for this one I suspect </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-sitting-out-the-pointy-toed-shoes-trend#post-1304048 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 16:12:27 +0000 Neel 1304048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura - The super pointy ones look weird I agree! And sizing up does help with the comfort, isn't it?</p> <p>Shedev - Good point. I haven't come across stompy pointy toes yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-sitting-out-the-pointy-toed-shoes-trend#post-1304047 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 16:11:02 +0000 April 1304047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mostly sitting it out. &nbsp;Again. &nbsp;:)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-sitting-out-the-pointy-toed-shoes-trend#post-1304046 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 16:10:29 +0000 Suz 1304046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look of them when they are not too exaggerated. And I don't mind wearing them, either. But fit is crucial and not always easy to get right. &nbsp;</p> <p>I don't wear true flats (regardless of toe shape) because they won't stay on my feet, alas. I would actually love a pair of flat or very low wedge pointy toes. On the lookout for something that might work.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-sitting-out-the-pointy-toed-shoes-trend#post-1304040 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 16:07:02 +0000 shedev 1304040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sitting them&nbsp;out. I'm much more of a stompy boots than dainty shoe type. I got way too spoiled by all the wiggle room my toes get. Closest I'll come is an almond toe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whos-sitting-out-the-pointy-toed-shoes-trend#post-1304032 Tue, 15 Jul 2014 16:03:07 +0000 Neel 1304032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisap - That's an interesting point. I never thought of how heels can make pointy toed shoes more proportionate. Nice eye :)</p> <p>Alasse - Yay for round toes! They are very comfortable too.</p> <p>Amiable - I find almond toes to be much more comfortable. At least the toe box has some wiggle room.</p> <p>Clearlyclaire - *sobbing with you* the shoes you purged are too cute I wish they were as comfortable!</p> <p>Viva - High five. I think the okalas would work well for you and a smashing addition to your killer shoe collection. Fingers crossed!</p> <p>Rabbit - I had an aha moment with your post. Higher vamp ... Hmmm. I think it could solve my pointy toed shoe woes. The ballet flats have a very low vamp and I feel like I would sprout a bunion in them (Thank you Claire for the phrase! It hit a chord with me!). Higher vamps might make this whole situation a lot better. You have fantastic eye for detail and analytical skills rabbit! </p>
