I too have PF, and if I had a pair of shoes that felt good, I would find a way to wear them.&nbsp; I'm so glad others were able to offer some ideas, and that you felt comfortable "out and about".&nbsp; Rock those shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-red-loafers#post-2383686 Fri, 04 Apr 2025 21:39:30 +0000 Val MN 2383686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Twenty years ago when I briefly lived in France, it was very popular for French men to wear red shoes with an otherwise all-neutral outfit. In fact it was so popular as to be almost a cliche. I wonder if it’s still a thing? That would be my inspiration if I had your shoes. Looks like others have made the same suggestion upthread. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-red-loafers#post-2383666 Fri, 04 Apr 2025 17:22:45 +0000 JAileen 2383666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love red shoes! &nbsp;These look great.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-red-loafers#post-2383664 Fri, 04 Apr 2025 17:20:26 +0000 Angie 2383664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know I'm going to say YAY </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-red-loafers#post-2383657 Fri, 04 Apr 2025 17:00:10 +0000 Star (Lise) 2383657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Carol&nbsp;</b>Done!&nbsp; See my comment above yours.&nbsp; Felt okay, will be taking them out again.&nbsp; Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-red-loafers#post-2383652 Fri, 04 Apr 2025 16:26:59 +0000 Carol 2383652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do like them, but this is really a question of "are you wearing it, or is it wearing you?" That is something you feel out yourself. If the shoes match your personality--great. If they are bigger than, or somehow awkward, then no. I'd wear them on a simple errand, and see how you feel.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-red-loafers#post-2383651 Fri, 04 Apr 2025 16:17:16 +0000 Star (Lise) 2383651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Fabbers - you are all so smart!</p> <p>I did wear them out today, I was wearing&nbsp; my short navy puffer on top and zipped up because it is cold again (grrr).&nbsp; So the red shoes were the star of the navy top and bottom.&nbsp; I did not see anyone giving my feet a second glance and I did not feel too self-conscious (<b>Suntiger </b>good advice).&nbsp; You could not see the maroon sock as the jeans cover the sock part, and I never sat.&nbsp; I really love the ideas.&nbsp; I agree to always make them the statement. </p> <p><b>Cookie&nbsp;</b>I love your childhood tale which I have not heard here before.&nbsp; I have a very clear visual in my head of little Cookie in her red shoes :).&nbsp; Usually I like feeling rebellious so not sure what was going on with these shoes but I think the maiden voyage has cured it.&nbsp; Sometimes I have the same feeling when I wear white shoes.&nbsp; Yet I love them on others.&nbsp; Btw they are not as bright as in the photo.&nbsp; My phone tends to makes reds look super bright, more than they are IRL.&nbsp; They are a true postbox red.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-red-loafers#post-2383640 Fri, 04 Apr 2025 15:27:10 +0000 Cookie 2383640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As I may have recounted before, I got in trouble on the first day of first grade by wearing red shoes with a dreary gray uniform that was supposed to go with BLACK shoes, as I suppose they thought was so obvious as to go without saying. To this day I feel I am sort of getting away with something if I wear them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-red-loafers#post-2383639 Fri, 04 Apr 2025 15:25:36 +0000 ChristelJ 2383639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them and would let them be the star of the outfit. If I found such fun shoes that worked for my plantar fasciitis I would wear them for sure, but I am a fan of chunky soles and I like red. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-red-loafers#post-2383635 Fri, 04 Apr 2025 15:10:55 +0000 Bonnie 2383635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them and agree with Roberta.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-red-loafers#post-2383634 Fri, 04 Apr 2025 15:07:24 +0000 Roberta 2383634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also love red shoes!

These look very fun for you! I agree to try no-show socks with these.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>Also, I would try pairing these shoes with a skirt, just for a fun Tomgirl/Tomboy pairing. I think that could amp things up a lot and be a really cute look on you!</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-red-loafers#post-2383620 Fri, 04 Apr 2025 14:06:02 +0000 Irina 2383620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve always liked red shoes. I say keep them. Like others, I would suggest a simple outfit, no show socks and not a repeated color but an accent. In other words, maybe not with your RL sweater.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-red-loafers#post-2383616 Fri, 04 Apr 2025 13:54:06 +0000 Janet 2383616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Dee and Cookie, I’d try them with a neutral outfit and no-show or neutral socks so they are a singular accent. I think they’d be brilliant with a pair of mid or light wash jeans and a white (or light neutral of your choice) shirt. They’re great and I think you should wear and enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-red-loafers#post-2383615 Fri, 04 Apr 2025 13:41:48 +0000 Lisa 2383615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them. Their color and chunky sole makes me think these are a good statement shoe with simple outfits so it can stand out. I’d happily wear them outside the house.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-red-loafers#post-2383612 Fri, 04 Apr 2025 13:19:22 +0000 Dee 2383612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I don't mind them, they look comfortable too but I would probably just let them be the one colourful statement in my outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-red-loafers#post-2383610 Fri, 04 Apr 2025 13:11:44 +0000 LJP 2383610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are great! &nbsp;I'd personally wear them with a sheer sock or no sock at all though. &nbsp;I have a pair of red patent flat slingbacks that I wear with black pants or black jeans once every few weeks to work and get tons of compliments on them. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-red-loafers#post-2383608 Fri, 04 Apr 2025 12:55:37 +0000 RobinF 2383608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them and the chunky soles! That being said, I am not a fan of red anything on me, so am not a good judge. I will say that there are a lot of red shoes around style blogs this spring so maybe try it and see how it feels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-red-loafers#post-2383601 Fri, 04 Apr 2025 12:03:21 +0000 Suntiger 2383601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say try them, but if you feel self conscious all day and they're not "forgettable," then continue wearing at home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-red-loafers#post-2383596 Fri, 04 Apr 2025 11:10:44 +0000 Cookie 2383596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your description really made me laugh! I think they are quite beautiful and not like Ronald McDonald but maybe I would prefer them in a less matchy application? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-red-loafers#post-2383592 Fri, 04 Apr 2025 10:52:30 +0000 Brooklyn 2383592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the chunky soles. For me the colour would be too bright, but that’s me. I just don’t love bright colours on me, especially in footwear. But I certainly don’t think they look like Ronald McDonald shoes. The style looks current to me.</p> <p>Also: as a fellow PF sufferer, I put a high value on shoes that allow me to be pain free. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-red-loafers#post-2383589 Fri, 04 Apr 2025 09:46:12 +0000 Sisi 2383589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely wear them to go out! They are beautiful. I love colored shoes.<br />Try them with sheer tights. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-red-loafers#post-2383588 Fri, 04 Apr 2025 09:16:26 +0000 Star (Lise) 2383588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>JENNI</b> for your perspective. I have other red shoes that I like. I usually prefer chunkier heels. Maybe it is the combination I am not entirely sold on. Hhmm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-red-loafers#post-2383587 Fri, 04 Apr 2025 09:13:37 +0000 Jenni NZ 2383587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I couldn’t vote one way or the other. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-red-loafers#post-2383586 Fri, 04 Apr 2025 09:12:23 +0000 Jenni NZ 2383586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I love them from the front! Have always loved red shoes.<br /> You probably know I have a penchant for dainty or refined shoes so have to admit I am not so keen on the chunky soles. However your taste may be different! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-red-loafers#post-2383585 Fri, 04 Apr 2025 08:21:06 +0000 Star (Lise) 2383585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello<br /> A simple outfit including my favourite combination of red and navy. Love this mens Ralph Lauren cotton knit I scored for a euro or two. My question is regarding these shoes. I have been wearing them as indoor shoes for two winters. They have a supportive heel that has helped improve my planter fasciitis. They hurt the back of my foot originally but are now comfy. They always felt a bit much, a bit like something Ronald McDonald would wear. Do you think I should take them outside this Spring?<br /> PS: I have received compliments on them but really would love honest feedback from the forum </p>
