I even have a pair of heeled sports-styled shoes that I put on and take off all the time because they never seem right anymore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-812-my-new-shoe-normal#post-2138423 Fri, 14 Aug 2020 04:54:16 +0000 Anonymous 2138423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You will love metallic loafers. I could wear my gold ones every day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-812-my-new-shoe-normal#post-2138263 Thu, 13 Aug 2020 15:48:36 +0000 MsMary 2138263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank, everyone!</p> <p><b>Jenni NZ</b> great point about wanting the role models to model being able to move around easily instead of totter around on stilettos!</p> <p>And <b>Joy</b>, if you look closely you can see that the loafers in this outfit are perforated leather! Perfect for summer! And I have some on order that are metallic and can't wait until they arrive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-812-my-new-shoe-normal#post-2138235 Thu, 13 Aug 2020 13:00:47 +0000 Helena 2138235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary, I appreciated your comment on my thread and I think your flat collection is FABULOUS. I agree with Jenny, although I love the look of a good heel, flats looks SO fresh and modern imo, and you've got some amazing options! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-812-my-new-shoe-normal#post-2138233 Thu, 13 Aug 2020 12:49:49 +0000 RobinF 2138233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit and the loafers are perfect with it. I have never been a high heel person but I do think my style has gotten more casual during this and I don't see that changing back.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-812-my-new-shoe-normal#post-2138192 Thu, 13 Aug 2020 03:02:37 +0000 Jaime 2138192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes to your fabness and yes to Angie's&nbsp;<i>although I never wore high heels, which I leave for you</i>. Due to a minor toe injury and some other foot issues, I am leaning on the most comfortable shoes I own but that is not pandemic related.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-812-my-new-shoe-normal#post-2138181 Thu, 13 Aug 2020 02:20:54 +0000 Anonymous 2138181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had to give up heels and sandals a few years ago. Loafers are my favorite shoe year round. They come in a wide variety of colors and even styles like flat forms or pointy toe. I have some that are perforated leather and some in colorful patterns and even glittery. They are easy to step into and out of and can be worn with jeans or dresses. I even have loafers that are mules. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-812-my-new-shoe-normal#post-2138160 Wed, 12 Aug 2020 23:02:33 +0000 Jenni NZ 2138160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know what Angie thinks about dated being a dated concept, but somehow high heeled pumps are looking dated to my eye. It may partly be that unlike you I have never found them comfortable ever since I first tried them at about age 23 ( younger than that, any heels I had were less spindly and stiletto-like). So it may be that my eye is liking the flatter shoes I have been preferring to wear?<br /> Having said that the rainbow heel on your Kate Spade pumps is stunning. And you look great in this outfit with your loafers.<br /> I do wish though that women like the Duchess of Sussex aka Meghan Markle would stop wearing those spindly heels. As a feminist I do not want yet another generation thinking they must wear those things to look sexy Or to be powerful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-812-my-new-shoe-normal#post-2138149 Wed, 12 Aug 2020 22:28:42 +0000 MsMaven 2138149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not only does the outfit look great, it also looks like it's comfortable to work in. Love the shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-812-my-new-shoe-normal#post-2138143 Wed, 12 Aug 2020 22:04:27 +0000 unfrumped 2138143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes.&nbsp;<br />And even having trouble with loafers that fit previously but now pinching. Though the style is still one that I think I still will depend on.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-812-my-new-shoe-normal#post-2138124 Wed, 12 Aug 2020 21:15:12 +0000 Echo 2138124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary, you look equally great in both heels and flats! I do agree that flats are looking fresher than heels - at least traditional pumps. I think there's always a place for funky heels (lower, though, and more comfortable), but traditional pumps aren't doing it for me right now, either.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-812-my-new-shoe-normal#post-2138121 Wed, 12 Aug 2020 20:52:24 +0000 Sal 2138121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit Mary- totally fab!!</p> <p>I agree with you - flats are looking more modern in about 90% of cases aren't they....&nbsp; which makes me a bit sad as I love heels too.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I wear heels in summer more as my boots are low or mid heel, and I only have one pair of pumps.&nbsp; But I wear heeled sandals in summer a lot more...I will not add any more but I hope they get a few more outings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-812-my-new-shoe-normal#post-2138106 Wed, 12 Aug 2020 19:18:18 +0000 slim cat 2138106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I left heels long ago - sporty shoes with support are the best option.<br />Your outfit looks pretty perfect and current with coral loafers - fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-812-my-new-shoe-normal#post-2138104 Wed, 12 Aug 2020 18:44:56 +0000 Anonymous 2138104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes mostly. Not sure how I'll feel when I have to return to the office, but the only heels I'm wearing are 2 inch block sandals. Haven't even tried to wear my higher sandals since March. Most days I just wear Birkies or flip flops outside- barefoot in the house. And sneakers for biking in the early am, but get those hot constricting puppies off the second I get back from my ride! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-812-my-new-shoe-normal#post-2138097 Wed, 12 Aug 2020 17:58:09 +0000 Angie 2138097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i>"but my eyes are finding loafers and sneakers look much fresher than my beloved high-heeled pumps"<br /></i><br />YES!!! although I never wore high heels, which I leave for you! :)</p> <p>Another KILLER look and fab matching mask! You had me with the swooshy skirt...and I will take the whole outfit, thank you.</p> <p>I've been wearing the same outfits I always do. No change in my style despite the pandemic in the clothing, hair, and make-up components of it.&nbsp;</p> <p>BUT the shoes &nbsp;- YES. I only wear fashion sneakers, leave off my wedding rings and bracelets, and wear a mask. I also have a set of at-home-only sneakers!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-812-my-new-shoe-normal#post-2138085 Wed, 12 Aug 2020 16:47:26 +0000 MsMary 2138085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was interested in <b>torontogirl's </b>post about how the pandemic is changing our idea of what our "normal" dressing is. I have been going to work this whole time, and mostly dressing up (although simplifying -- note lack the of a "third piece" like a blazer), but my eyes are finding loafers and sneakers look much fresher than my beloved high-heeled pumps.</p> <p>Normally I would have worn my tried and true Kate Spade coral pumps with this outfit (see Find below), but I am enjoying my new Corso Como loafers. I feel a lot lighter on my feet!</p> <p>What say you? Anybody else giving up heels in these trying times? </p>
