I like having the leg lengthing effect while walking flat. I also love that I don't have to hem my pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-you-be-buying-a-pair-of-flatforms-this-spring#post-314745 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 20:28:28 +0000 KayDee 314745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree the Dansko S line is great for the "taller, but feel like you are walking in flats' look. I lived in mine all summer last year, so I guess you'll have to count me in on this trend. Not so sure I could do the heeled platforms as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-you-be-buying-a-pair-of-flatforms-this-spring#post-314733 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 20:07:34 +0000 Diana 314733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, agreed on the Danskos! I have these in cognac:<br /> <a href="http://www.zappos.com/dansko-surraya-black-crinkle-patent?zlfid=111" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/dansko-s.....?zlfid=111</a></p> <p>I find the Dansko "S" series (all the styles start with S and have the same sole) the most comfy and a bit less boat-like on my feet than the regular clogs although I am limited to the styles with ankle straps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-you-be-buying-a-pair-of-flatforms-this-spring#post-314717 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 19:52:58 +0000 Jonesy 314717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Count me in as a visitor to Lucca in August, though in 1997!</p> <p>Janet, I have those very sandals, in black! They are certainly not "flatforms" but they are comfy and so cool! I'm going to wear mine with pants, shorter pants/clamdiggers, skirts, dresses, leggings...everything really.</p> <p>ETA: re. the walking awkward thing that you mention, Marley: I find these sorts of shoes to be very comfortable and walkable, but I think the key is a flexible sole (vs. a wooden sole like a traditional clog would have). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-you-be-buying-a-pair-of-flatforms-this-spring#post-314714 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 19:50:24 +0000 Laura 314714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh good, the conversation continues!</p> <p>Flatforms are really so close to Dansko's usual style, which I found super comfy. I like the combo of being taller while walking as if you were in flats. I had Danskos like these:<br /> <a href="http://www.zappos.com/dansko-sissy" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/dansko-sissy</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-you-be-buying-a-pair-of-flatforms-this-spring#post-314713 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 19:50:14 +0000 Claudia 314713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was in Lucca in August of 1998, too! Did the long, walking headphone tour and loved every second of it. I bought a small oil painting in one of the coliseum shops. Would it be really obnoxious to mention that I also made the Palio in Siena that trip? Stood along the inside rail. My one and only trip to Tuscany. I can die happy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-you-be-buying-a-pair-of-flatforms-this-spring#post-314686 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 18:51:08 +0000 Janet 314686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I recently got a pair of Antelope sandals similar to these on a really great sale:</p> <p><a href="http://bit.ly/eHVlya" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/eHVlya</a></p> <p>Same style, but without the perforated design, and in olive green. They're completely unlike anything else I own, but they were very comfy and I thought they would work well with jeans for summer. Not sure if I could pull off that high ankle with a skirt -- it might be too leg-shortening, although with the length of my legs, sometimes it's not a problem. Haven't tried them on with any outfits yet, but the weather's getting warmer, so... soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-you-be-buying-a-pair-of-flatforms-this-spring#post-314674 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 18:35:24 +0000 Marley 314674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure! I bought a pair last spring - they were strappy red - very fun - but inspite of the cuteness factor, they were awkward for me to walk in so they went to my local thrift store. Maybe I'll have to give it another try? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-you-be-buying-a-pair-of-flatforms-this-spring#post-314660 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 18:13:02 +0000 RoseandJoan 314660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not on my boat feet, chicken ankle combo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-you-be-buying-a-pair-of-flatforms-this-spring#post-314659 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 18:12:11 +0000 teri 314659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i just got these espadrilles yesterday </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-you-be-buying-a-pair-of-flatforms-this-spring#post-314633 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 17:32:44 +0000 Debora 314633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, can I wear them with a skort, or how about jorts? Should I loose the shooties? LOL, gotta love those fashion hybrids! Seriously, cute shoes!</p> <p>thimblelina, I visited Lucca in 1998, too. Just think, we could have passed each other on the street! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-you-be-buying-a-pair-of-flatforms-this-spring#post-314615 Tue, 15 Mar 2011 17:04:45 +0000 thimblelina 314615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had to resurrect this thread... was away from home when it started and without my computer. Just took these bronze beauties out of my "time out" box and polished them up. I bought them at a shop just inside Lucca's medieval walls on holiday in '98. I think I paid the equivalent of about us$105 or 110. Proof that a beautiful pair of italian leather shoes can be a thing of beauty forever. Can't wait to wear them again in fairer weather than what we have currently going on outside.

They were the only thing I wanted for my birthday that year:)</p> <p>I'm giving them a pass this time, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-you-be-buying-a-pair-of-flatforms-this-spring#post-312395 Fri, 11 Mar 2011 20:53:06 +0000 Elly 312395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a pair very similar to the kork-ease until just a couple of years ago. I never did truly figure out how to wear them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-you-be-buying-a-pair-of-flatforms-this-spring#post-312394 Fri, 11 Mar 2011 20:52:43 +0000 Lori 312394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I missed the "flat" part of this convo - oops! No "flatforms" for me - I love a great platform though, obviously! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-you-be-buying-a-pair-of-flatforms-this-spring#post-312393 Fri, 11 Mar 2011 20:52:26 +0000 Jonesy 312393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite kind of sandal! Love the new hybrid term, Laura! I already own two pair of these, both in dark brown (from several years ago). But I am on the hunt for a black pair.

I love the look of the higher ones that still have a flat shape. They remind me of geisha shoes and I love geishas! I'm not sure if I'll buy a pair or not though, maybe if I happen to stumble across a pair I love in my price point... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-you-be-buying-a-pair-of-flatforms-this-spring#post-312360 Fri, 11 Mar 2011 20:00:45 +0000 Barbara 312360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, I hope to find some that will fit my narrow, high-arched feet.

Yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-you-be-buying-a-pair-of-flatforms-this-spring#post-312340 Fri, 11 Mar 2011 19:33:27 +0000 Diana 312340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! This is one of my favorite styles of summer sandal. I do already have a couple of pairs.</p> <p>I am lusting after these: </p> <p><a href="http://piperlime.gap.com/browse/product.do?searchCID=4016&#038;cid=4016&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=857028&#038;scid=857028002" rel="nofollow">http://piperlime.gap.com/brows.....=857028002</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-you-be-buying-a-pair-of-flatforms-this-spring#post-312313 Fri, 11 Mar 2011 18:59:52 +0000 Kim 312313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I kinda think I might...When I find just the right pair!

I like to think of it as the "jeggings/leans" of the new spring season. </p> <p>Anyway, I have been nosing around for a pair. I've found this Kork Ease style and think they might be worth a try. Has anyone else spotted a great pair?</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/kork-ease-ava-natural-vachetta" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/kork-eas.....l-vachetta</a> </p>
