Loved them because they were substantial shoes, not dainty &nbsp;and so, they looked good to my frame:-). Now, your's are bit softer, dressier and black but still not dainty so can work with your drappy black wardrobe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-something-different#post-1513523 Wed, 01 Jul 2015 07:46:39 +0000 rachylou 1513523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are nice shoes.

May not be for a while yet... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-something-different#post-1513491 Wed, 01 Jul 2015 04:35:46 +0000 Deborah 1513491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla, thank you. &nbsp;I agree that I don't find rounded toes edgy, but the I do think the shoe has a 'modern' look to it. &nbsp;You have affirmed my thoughts.. thank you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-something-different#post-1513439 Wed, 01 Jul 2015 02:26:45 +0000 Cococat 1513439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes Deborah, I'm in on that pact!!</p> <p>My gorgeous mum wears similar shoes to #1. She's 88 this year. She would consider them pretty groovy because of the colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-something-different#post-1513402 Wed, 01 Jul 2015 01:00:03 +0000 Carla 1513402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rounded toes don't ever read as 'edgy' however the deep cut sides and hidden wedge do give it a certain modernity. They are kind of funky/stompy like Doc's, Fluvogs, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-something-different#post-1513400 Wed, 01 Jul 2015 00:50:45 +0000 Deborah 1513400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jeweled, yes I am seeing these work with my culottes as it warms up a bit and also with my midi length skirts. &nbsp;</p> <p>Suz you make me laugh &nbsp;I do think that in many instances it comes down to&nbsp;<b>how&nbsp;</b>we wear things. &nbsp;I have to say your 'gear' dress is very cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-something-different#post-1513103 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 14:35:30 +0000 Jeweled 1513103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see this shoe style adding nice variety to your wardrobe, while staying within your signature look.&nbsp; How about wearing these new shoes with your culottes or a skirt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-something-different#post-1512967 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 10:35:51 +0000 Suz 1512967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These remind me of a pair that <b>Ornella </b>has, actually -- this particular shoe is a little funkier than Ornella's version, but it's a similar idea, and I think this one it could work really well for your style. It's cleverly designed with the hidden wedge and platform and will be comfortable for sure. I don't think it ever hurts to have a shoe like this on hand. I look forward to seeing how you wear them.&nbsp;</p> <p>With my increasing collection of Eccos, I fear I am coming closer to the comfort shoe stereotype, but hey...now that I seem to be buying my dresses from the gear department, who knows where I might go for my footwear?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-something-different#post-1512962 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 10:24:03 +0000 Deborah 1512962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>CocoC shall we make a pact? No comfort shoes ever;). My lovely MIL wears shoes that look like #1 and just don't want to no matter who comfy they might be lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-something-different#post-1512942 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 09:34:32 +0000 Cococat 1512942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! Lol!<br /> Definitely not ugly.<br /> I share your thoughts about the 'comfort' shoe'. I avoid buying shoes in the pharmacy and certain specialty stores because of the stereotype. My mum and older sis, who both wear comfort shoes, think it's hilarious. They say I will eventually wear them because it's just what happens. I say never......lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-something-different#post-1512922 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 08:41:16 +0000 Anonymous 1512922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do like the low cut sides Deb. They may be a bit out of your style range, but I'm guessing they would work with some of your leggings and draped tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-something-different#post-1512913 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 07:40:14 +0000 Deborah 1512913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, I wasn't sure what was coming when I read that you wore yours for work in a hospital 'gulp' but I read on and I am pleased that you don't perceive them as ugly. &nbsp;I am weary of anything that could be considered a 'comfort shoe" - you may share my Aussie stereotyping of what "middle aged' women wear lol. &nbsp;It may be a few weeks before I get to wear them as it is really boot weather but once I get a chance i will certainly style them and show you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-something-different#post-1512912 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 07:36:41 +0000 Cococat 1512912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a very similar pair that I bought for a short stint working on hospital wards. There were health and safety regulations regarding foot wear but there was NO WAY I was wearing ugly shoes. They had a hidden wedge and a similar strap over. They were the softest leather and very comfy. I walked all day in them.</p> <p>I haven't worn them since, probably because they remind me of the hospital stint. </p> <p>I would love to see how you style them Deborah. Maybe you can give me some inspiration to revive them. (Sorry to make this all about me!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-something-different#post-1512907 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 06:27:21 +0000 Maneera 1512907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look comfortable. And the fact they have hidden heel but are still comfortable to walk long distances is absolutely fantastic! It's not often you find heeled closed shoes that give you a height bump but are comfy enough for everyday wear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-something-different#post-1512904 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 06:21:46 +0000 Elizabeth P 1512904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these could work for you. I have to admit I'm not usually a fan of this style of shoe, but the proportions on these ones are a bit different than the norm... Thicker strap, Interesting toe box, low sides... I like them. :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-something-different#post-1512901 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 05:56:37 +0000 Sal 1512901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them, they look super comfortable and I think would work well with black ankle pants and leggings, or with your tunic style dresses. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-something-different#post-1512896 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 05:46:52 +0000 Deborah 1512896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes. &nbsp;It's called Adele's Shoe Gallery and she has a really nice range of footwear. &nbsp;All leather and just beautiful. &nbsp;But not particularly edgy ;( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-something-different#post-1512895 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 05:41:17 +0000 catgirl 1512895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great shoes! But wait - you have a friend who owns a shoe store?!? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-something-different#post-1512886 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 05:04:44 +0000 Deborah 1512886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ladies,</p> <p>I was given a gift voucher to my friend's beautiful shoe store. &nbsp;While I adore her shoes, very few of them are 'me'. &nbsp;I came home with these shoes by Isabella called "Galicia" in black. &nbsp;They are an Australian company, the leather is beautiful and I could walk in them all day.</p> <p>Now the shoe is different for me. &nbsp;I spent a couple of days considering and surfing Pinterest and the net for inspiration (ie. are these shoes frumpy or cool lol) and decided to take the plunge.</p> <p>They have a hidden wedge of 7cm wedge and a 2cm platform (also hidden).</p> <p>I am not a fan of 'sandals' so these could be a good shoe for warmer winter days right through Spring, Summer (not high summer tho) and Autumn. &nbsp;</p> <p>I would like to know what you think, and I know it's difficult when you haven't seen the shoe styled. &nbsp;I am wanting to stretch my style a little, not too much lol, but I wouldn't have picked this shoe up, it was the SA who knows me a little who showed it to me as she thought it would work well with my general style.</p> <p>Thanks for your thoughts.</p> <p>xxx Deborah</p> <p> </p>
