Ask Angie: Toes too long for this style?

Also are these too small for me? I ordered in my usual size. I should have ordered a half size up as well. Now I have to sacrifice 2 shipping charges if they don't work either. I'm not sure I even love this shoe. I'm trying to find the right shoe for the wedding. This one is lower so I thought the comfort would be good but I don't love them. They are not ugly but don't wow me.

I think it looks too short. Most companies will give you free shipping on exchanges. Call and see if they will! Also, ask them if they will just honor the exchange price right and ship them out ASAP due to your scheduling needs and promise you'll put the return in the mail today. That's worked for me lots of times.

I don't think I will try a bigger size if the toes look too long anyway so I need to decide if they are even worth it.

K, where does the sandal look too short?

I love those sandals on you, Elle. Your toes look gorgeous. You have really pretty feet!

Btw, check back on today's blog post. I answered your clutch question.

I would wear this as is unless your toes are sliding forward when you walk. Your toes don't hang over in these pictures although it is close.

Borderline, I'd say, and the next size up might not fit right. I think these are super pretty, would work for the occasion, and would work with the dress really well. And if it were me, and they were comfy, I would keep this size. I just bought a pair that are a different style but similar fit -- just barely big enough. But a size up would have been too large for sure.

I think these look fine too! They don't look like your feet are hanging over the edge.

always trying

I have a pair of sandals that the toe is like that. I think it is the roundness and narrowness that make the toes look that way. In other words it is the cut of the sole of the shoe. I agree that a size up may not work. The decision to keep or not would be wearability, other outfits they would be worn with, and price. I like the shoes, and they look good on you.

I think these look fab. No too long toes to be seen anywhere!

So, funny, because I see the middle toe toeing the edge! If you can't feel it and it doesn't bother you, Elle, then by all means keep because they are gorgeous! If I'm the only one seeing it, maybe I'm hallucinating. (It has been a busy busy busy last few weeks at work!)

Perhaps it's our heatwave, K :). Personally, I like a snug sandal fit. Too much toebox space looks off in this type of sandal to my eye. I do know what you mean though, with that middle toe. I think it's the way Elle is standing, though.

I see it, too, K -- but I think the next size up could very well be too roomy for her, and as long as it doesn't overhang...well....we do our best, right?

K. Period.

Agreed all around! I definitely strongly prefer sandals that just barely come out past the toe line. (Can I do an Angie-tribute High-Five here?!?) And agreed, Suz, these are too lovely to pass up.

So Elle, it appears we've made your decision for you and you are keeping your absolutely gorgeous sandals now.

(And Angie, you don't know how right you are--heatwave and my office building's cooling system is not working. My office is sweltering!)

High five, sweet K! Now get thee home right now!!!! You need a tall glass of ice tea.

My toe is at the edge K. That is why I posted. It is my larger foot though & doesn't happen on the other foot & so the next size will look too big. Now I just have to decide if I like them. I am still looking for the perfect shoes & bag. Buying them with the intent to return the ones that don't win.
