But do it if you like the look and it doesn't interfere with the functionality of the shoe.</p> <p>I do think they look a bit gearish for a dress.

But some days being perfect isn't the number one priority. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-hideous#post-135199 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 02:13:39 +0000 Carole 135199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see why you can't wear them with jeans running errands and such. I have a similar pair that I will wear for errands when I'm doing tons of walking. I have bad feet and need something practical sometimes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-hideous#post-135192 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 02:02:54 +0000 Queen Mum 135192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh, I was only talking about wearing them to the grocery store or something like that. not for anything remotely important. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-hideous#post-135190 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 01:59:39 +0000 Sihaya 135190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would personally wear them but would be selective about where. I wouldn't wear it for formal clients. More casual or even smart casual if everything else is dressed up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-hideous#post-135163 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 00:57:48 +0000 Queen Mum 135163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's just not going to be sandals weather every day, so I'm wanting a second option. I wore this dress today with silver flats and was surprised how well it worked. (I know I said earlier that I wore the gold sandals... I went' through a few evolutions of my outfit today </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-hideous#post-135160 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 00:53:41 +0000 Mellllls 135160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Water leaks seem to be popular this week! I feel your pain.</p> <p>I think those shoes without the straps would work, but I have a feeling you have better options in your closet. Your gold sandals sound fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-hideous#post-135157 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 00:44:48 +0000 Kristine 135157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woah, ouch!

Water heaters are expensive! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-hideous#post-135149 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 00:22:43 +0000 Queen Mum 135149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think I"ll be wearing these shoes with dresses. they are a comfy sneaker alternative with jeans, but I do think I can do better with dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-hideous#post-135143 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 00:19:14 +0000 yublocka 135143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think they are hideous queenie.

But gear shoes with a dress are kind of popular around here, so my eyes are used to it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-hideous#post-135059 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 18:52:56 +0000 taylor 135059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bet there is something else in your closet you can re-work or alter...now that the creative juices are flowing:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-hideous#post-135058 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 18:48:01 +0000 rae 135058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hrm, assuming that you can still walk fine without the straps, I think cutting them off would be a big improvement. New, good, comfy flats might be the ideal, but these could make do in the mean time. I don't like the straps at all, personally. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-hideous#post-135052 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 18:25:32 +0000 Queen Mum 135052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>no need to apologize-- I just thought I'd ask. sometimes things that we think are not great others see differently.<br /> you're right- I can find inexpensive ballet flats, but ballet flats are not typically the most comfort friendly shoes for me. I actually decided it was warm enough for sandals today so I'm wearing that dress with gold gladiator type sandals. nothing spectacular, but it will get me through the day </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-hideous#post-135046 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 17:52:56 +0000 marianna 135046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry Kim, I'm not a fan. You can find an inexpensive pair of ballet flats that will be comfy and look a lot better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-hideous#post-135043 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 17:35:18 +0000 Vani 135043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Umm...I'm thinking no? They look a little gear-ish to me. Then again, I'm not a fan of these kind of shoes, so that might be my personal preference talking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-be-hideous#post-135040 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 17:26:12 +0000 Queen Mum 135040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>so we discovered last night that our water heater is leaking.... there goes my new shoe budget ;-/ so i'ts time to get out the sewing machine and start making alterations and reconsidering what's already in my closet...</p> <p>I have these shoes that I wear as casual jeans shoes<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/43061463@N08/4438750724/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/4.....438750724/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/43061463@N08/4438751432/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/4.....otostream/</a></p> <p>As I was out for a run today I pondered the idea of cutting out the cross over things...<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/43061463@N08/4438751720/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/4.....otostream/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/43061463@N08/4438752210/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/4.....otostream/</a></p> <p>so for instance could I wear them with something like this dress? (I'm just holding the dress up, that's why it is just kindof hanging)<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/43061463@N08/4437982641/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/4.....otostream/</a></p> <p>or could I just leave the shoes as is and wear them with a dress?<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/43061463@N08/4438756378/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/4.....otostream/</a></p> <p>don't hum and haw-- just tell me flat out if this would be a no-go? I will blame all of you if I wear this out in public and look like a LOL (little old lady)</p> <p>Now I must be off to the Y for a shower and then to Home Depot to look at water heaters. </p>
