(Oops, that sounds like I planned that.)</p> <p>Now this just shows how different feet are - I bought the same Frye slip ons, and they did not work for me. The toe box was too short vertically. I did not take them to the thrift shop, however, I returned them to the store where I bought them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wibought-shoes#post-1930786 Fri, 22 Jun 2018 18:52:45 +0000 Carla 1930786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ok i see wow, sounds incredible. we don't do such mind blowing things in sleepy CT, we just blow your mind with beauty </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wibought-shoes#post-1930778 Fri, 22 Jun 2018 18:31:21 +0000 Angie 1930778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Carla</b>, Boeing is in Seattle - hence the Seattle reference.

I’m thrilled you found two pairs of very comfy shoes. That’s the most important part. House shoes and fun sneaks, FTW. </p> <p>As for the casualties - not too many, and you managed to keep some comfy styles too. You’re going like a Boeing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wibought-shoes#post-1930466 Thu, 21 Jun 2018 20:24:22 +0000 Jane 1930466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the inserts / flex bit on the Chelsea boots! Well done for a very good review of your shoes - great work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wibought-shoes#post-1930462 Thu, 21 Jun 2018 19:45:05 +0000 Thistle 1930462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad you found such fabulous shoes!</p> <p>And wow, i need to shop where you do! $4 Frye's?!?</p> <p>My daughter is in dance, and those looks like jazz shoes. A fab find, because those suckers are NOT inexpensive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wibought-shoes#post-1930451 Thu, 21 Jun 2018 18:11:44 +0000 cindysmith 1930451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I stopped at a shoe store today. It's a small town, so it was a only a Shoe Department. I walked out with 2 pairs of shoes, both on sale. When I got home, I tried on most of my shoes and boots I already have. There were many casualties. </p> <p>1) The black Dr. Scholls? Not attractive, but soooooooo comfortable. They'll be fine for wearing around the house or work. They are a wide width, with plenty of room for my pinky toe to do whatever it is my pinky toe is doing in there LOL</p> <p>2 &amp; 3) The white pair is from a brand called Scrubs. It's made out of some sort of neoprene or something, nice and stretchy. They are medium width; yet they're wide across the area that needs it, narrow enough at the heel that they don't slide up &amp; down. They are shaped like LaPed was talking about, wider on the pinky toe side. They're comfortable and extremely light weight. The soles are a squishy foam, the insert is waffled, so it kind of massages my feet.</p> <p>On to my closet. Definitely keeping:<br /> 4) pink Steve Maddens. They are a medium width; yet they're sort of wide exactly where they need to be wide.<br /> 5) JSlides. They run wide, apparently. </p> <p>6) Bloch dance shoes (thrift shop find, unworn, super cheap). They're cotton, so they feel like socks; but they have a split sole (heel and ball/toes) but nothing under the arch. So they're reeeeeeeally like a sock with some grip tape on the parts that carry weight, which is sort of divine on my feet. I'm supposed to sign up for a belly dance class, so they might actually get used for dance sometimes too!</p> <p>7) Taryn Rose sneaker type slip-on shoes. Ridiculously, insanely comfortable.</p> <p>8 &amp; 9) my Frye slip-ons. These were another thrift shop find, unworn. Who on earth is giving away all these unworn shoes? I seriously paid $4 + tax for a pair of new without tags/box Frye shoes.</p> <p>My Aerosoles &amp; Bella Vita sneakers (first 2 finds) make my feet happy (Angie was spot on with her recommendation that I check out the Bella Vita brand, I already have some that work for my crazy pinky toe LOL)</p> <p>10) There were casualties, some of them heartbreaking. 2 pairs of Cole Haan mules, Ferragamo pumps (third find), my bright yellow Fila plimsoll sneakers, Donald J Pliner ankle booties, Chelsea boots (fourth find), and the hardest one of all? </p> <p>11) Those cowboy ankle booties y'all convinced me to keep. My pinky toe is still hurting enough that I could tell my feet don't like those booties at all, so they have to go. I'm about to box them up (along with the rest of that pile of dead soldiers) and get them loaded in my truck for the next trip I make to town. I've left my tall shaft boot collection alone for now, because it's so freaking hot that I can't even think about putting on an actual full boot I will asses those sometime around Christmas when it starts to cool off in Texas LOL</p> <p>Thank you all for the advice, suggestions, and tips! It was all very helpful as I tried on shoes at the shoe store. It will be super helpful in the future when my current shoes start getting worn out, and I have to shop for new shoes. Super grateful to have such a wonderful community of fab fashionistas so willing to share their experiences with me when I need help XOXOXOXOXO </p>
