So cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-shoes-for-spring-and-a-question#post-1192720 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 21:13:23 +0000 Jenny H 1192720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great haul! I know what you mean about being surprised when you can find one pair that fits. I particularly like the maryjanes and the orange wolkys! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-shoes-for-spring-and-a-question#post-1192686 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 20:21:02 +0000 pastrygirl 1192686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just over a year ago, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoetober-not-quite-animal-print#post-739368">I posted a haul</a>&nbsp;from a nearby comfort shoe store that offers massive discounts in their bargain attic, especially in my sizes (10-11/41-42). Of those shoes, I only own one pair (the black pumps) and rarely wear them. They're moderately comfy and my only "dressy" shoe, so I'm holding onto them.</p> <p>I've&nbsp;needed to replace my kick-around black shoes that I didn't wear all winter because they are in such bad shape. Every morning I wanted to put them on, but they really were about to&nbsp;go kaput.</p> <p>After several failed Zappos tries,&nbsp;I stopped in that store&nbsp;again with those shoes in mind, as well as my&nbsp;spring list of loafers, boat shoes, slip-on sneakers, and&nbsp;possibly a Birk-type sandal. Since my purchases from that store&nbsp;last time were flops, I was much more discerning this time. If <i>anything</i> bothered me at all, it went back on the shelf. I left behind some incredible shoes! And I do mean incredible. That store and their bargain attic is amazing; the downfall is that everything upstairs is&nbsp;final sale (full-price items are store-credit only).</p> <p>1-3: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.shoebuy.com/ara-luca-40673/476975">Ara Luca</a> -- my everyday black shoe replacement. I really need a pair like this! I have oxfords and nicer shoes, but when I just want to run errands, I want a pair just like this. It's what I've worn for years, after I finally swore off Danskos, LOL. <b>My question: Can I wear these with cropped pants, as in 2-3? </b>I wasn't looking for that option at all, but I'm surprised to say that I actually like the look.</p> <p>4-5: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.soleprovisions.com/Gitta_Loafer_Olive_Dione.html">Waldlaufer Gitta Taupe</a> -- neutral loafer that doesn't slip off my foot!&nbsp;</p> <p>6-7: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.shoebuy.com/comfort-maven-kara/584514">Comfort Maven by Mercy Kara</a>&nbsp;-- strappy maryjane that is <i>insanely</i> comfortable. A black flat wasn't on my list, but when I find one that is comfortable, fits, and doesn't fall off my foot, I buy it!</p> <p>8: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.planetshoes.com/item/wolky-churley/26258">Wolky Churley</a> in orange/red fantasy -- crazypants sandals! I'd tried all the Birks and Birk-like sandals that were in the store, without luck. Then as I was gathering my boxes for the above shoes, I spotted this crazy orange sandal sitting on a bench by itself. I tried it on and it was love!! I asked the SA for help finding its mate and box, and she found it! Hooray. I was in a hurry because my meter had expired, so this was a bit of a whim, but oh do I love them at home all styled.</p> <p>Like I said in that foot twin thread, I am completely used to coming home empty-handed after trying on dozens of shoes. It's the norm. I am thrilled at my finds today, plus the (men's) chukkas I found a couple of weeks ago. Happy, happy! </p>
