shoes for my jumpsuit. ETA - gold Franco Sarto arrived

I've been on the hunt for some dressier shoes for Vegas for my jumpsuit. Angie recommended gold shoes (first find). I have ordered them, and will get them next week. In the meantime, I've shopped about everywhere I can look locally, and have struck out for gold. I see flats and heels, but not a lot of 1 1/2 inch shoes. Every pointy toed shoe I've tried on has been uncomfortable, so I don't have super high hopes for the Franco Sarto heels, although I hope they worK.

Any thoughts on shoes to proceed with if the Franco Sarto pair doesn't work? The thought of buying and returning tons of shoes online just doesn’t appeal much.
Jewelry? Clutch?

Thx.

ETA - here are some pics with the Franco Sarto shoes. I like the way they look with the outfit, as I expected. I think the shoes are serviceable for the event, but I wouldn’t call them comfortable. I will travel with bandaids for any potential rubbing spots They’re pretty event specific,so I expect minimal usage beyond this. The heel height is just right for jumpsuit. I also ordered an old navy gold bootie (it’s not currently letting me add a find, so see pic) which could be too low a heel for the jumpsuit and also be too short in their largest size. I had considered (but not ordered) a black/gold Franco Sarto shoe that wasn’t as pointy,, that could possibly see more life afterwards. That’s definitely not as dramatic though.

I found a clutch with a shoulder strap at H&M. Pics show several different necklace options. I am also considering some large gold earrings like the Nickel and Suede earrings in pic in lieu of larger necklace. The last pic shows the size of the gem earring, although the pic is silver.

Hmm. Not sure I like the crinkly edge of the Taryn Rose with the wider legs of the jumpsuit. Need to see the other 2 pairs on.
I personally love the boots and what a great price!

A pity you can't teleport to the Pacific Fair shopping centre in Gold Coast Australia. When I was trying to buy red sandals ( which I eventually found at a different outlet shopping centre) there was an absolute sea of metallic shoes including gold, just when that was NOT what I wanted ( I already have 3 gold pairs of various kinds) .

Those tall boots are beauts! Seriously, very nice. And what an incredible price.

Of the shoes for the jumpsuit, the Sartos are my favorites. My feet are also 10s; I avoid pointy toes because they add length. But maybe these will work for you.

I was at Nordstrom today, am considering the necklace in your finds as a gift for my “little” sister. They seemed to have a lot of metallic ankle boots; would you consider those? And what happened with the keltie loafers/pumps?

I understand about mailing back shoes that don’t fit. If you order online from a place that has a physical presence in your area, you get the selection online & easier returns. Just a suggestion.

Fashiontern - the long feet don’t bother me. It’s the heel height (anything above 1 1/2 inches usually puts too much pressure on my forefoot, which I can’t take anymore) and the cramming of toes in a pointy toe silhouette that I won’t deal with anymore either. I would be interested in a metallic bootie.

Jenni - it’s always easier to find what you’re not looking for, isn’t it? It’s possible I’d keep one of the two shoes I got for another occasion. It would be useful to have a moderately dressy, lower heeled neutral shoe, as I don’t have anything to fit that bill right now.

I’m willing to sacrifice looks for comfort, if necessary, but if anyone has any other finds, I’ll definitely take a look at them.

Did a quick search at Zappos (I have limited access to shoe shopping and find that they have super-speedy delivery, free delivery and returns, and great customer service- so I use my home as my dressing room), for low heeled, gold and other metallics, in a size 10... I wonder if any of these may work?

Kat - thanks. I am definitely interested in several of these. They run the gamut from dressier to more something I could wear to work. I think I’ve even tried on and considered the Clarks before. I must admit the last sparkly one is super fun. I think I will wait to get the Franco Sarto before I start ordering a bunch more. I’m looking forward to getting the shoes settled so I can make sure I’m happy with the accessories.

Fashiontern - I haven’t ordered those shoes or the necklace from the prior post yet. TBH, I’m hoping to not pay that amount on shoes unless they could work into lots of outfits for me. At this point, they wouldn’t get much use that I can seee. The necklace was pretty inexpensive, so I could try that. I want to start with the shoes and work my way up.

I was thinking about your question about mixing pewter shoes with gold jewellery. I am pretty flexible about mixing metals so it would not bother me to have different metals especially when the pieces are not close together. Also, I find pewter can be warm or cool.

delurked

Veteran

SF - that’s interesting about pewter being warm or cool. I see what you mean. I was just looking at LisaP’s thread, and she had a pair of booties from Old Navy. I looked at their offerings and they have a low heeled gold bootie. I’m probably going to give those a try. I can return locally, which is a lot easier if they don’t work out.

It makes total sense not to pay a lot for shoes you’d wear only rarely.
I went online to look up the boots I thought I saw in the store today, and came up nearly dry, but maybe some of these will work for you. You have a Rack in town to return them to, right?

The brocade leather on these might be pretty with the green of the jumpsuit. https://m.shop.nordstrom.com/s.....038;page=7

One of those Zappos picks is also at Nordy‘s, where it could be easier to return. https://m.shop.nordstrom.com/s.....038;page=5

Well, Angie recommended a pair of gold heeled loafers recently https://youlookfab.com/2017/11.....jewellery/

Otherwise, the Clarks look too casual to me, but I like the Taryn Rose, with silver or bright colour rather than gold, maybe.
Are the Frye heavy? I had a pair of Frye Carson oxfords, found them real sturdy, weather proof, indestructible, but heavy and so a bit tiresome to walk in.

Veteran

Thanks for the suggestions Fashiontern. If the gold ones don’t work out when they get here, I’ll need to try something else.

Skylurker - I was trying to do multiple things with the Clarks. Be fancy and be work appropriate. Of course that’s a tough combo. The Frye boots are a bit heavy and more structured than I’m used to. I kept them on for a while yesterday, and I was liking them more the longer they were on because putting them on was like putting on cowboy boots in that I really had to push my heel down to put my foot in.

I like the gold sandals in #4, if it is warm enough to wear sandals.

delurked

Veteran

Joy - it would be easy and quite comfortable to wear the sandals, so it will be a backup plan. I’ve got two options coming - the Franco Sarto Angie recommended and some old navy gold booties I saw when looking after lisap recommended hers. I am on the fence if I will keep either of the two others (for a business casual purpose). I think my indecision on those may in fact be a decision.

Of the ones you model I like the sandals best. I think the two pumps are not “party” enough for that fab jumpsuit. If the Franco Sarto is come I think that will be great too.

The Franco Sarto's gold pumps (Angie's pick) look nice. Maybe they will work out.

Not sure if you are looking for closed toe shoes but just in case, what about either of these sandals?

https://www.zappos.com/p/sofft.....color/6682

ETA or something from this brand (I have sandals that I enjoy and it took me quite some time to find them). But maybe too casual after looking more closely.

The Franco Sarto had been ordered before I looked at anything else. They just seem to be on a circuitous route to my home. They’re scheduled to arrive Friday. If they work I’ll have wasted the time looking at other things. I just know I’m hard to fit shoes, so I wanted more options to try to find the right thing. I will report back once they finally arrive.

Texstyle- I have a pair of Sofft boots I am wearing today. I like the brand, and that first sandal has been one I’ve considered trying before.

#3 is KILLER Perfect.

Done and dusted. Have a wonderful time.

skylurker

Veteran

I love #3, sharp and glam.

Sara L.

Veteran

I agree with the love for #3 - the pointy shoes and the dramatic necklace look great. I'm a little concerned though that you wouldn't be able to use the shoes again. I don't like buying items and only wearing them once. Body Glide might help with comfort if there are rubbing issues.

delurked

Veteran

It looks like #3 is a favorite.

Sara - I’m not crazy about a limited use shoe either. My life has become so informal that I don’t dress up much. I really like how it looks, and they aren’t comfortable or too uncomfortable. If they felt bad I’d return them. I just know that a pointy toe plus the ankle strap can lead to problems if there’s too much walking involved. I actually just got some body glide. I’ve never tried it before, so thanks for reminding me that could work here.

Stagiaire Fash

#3 looks great, but if you’re going to wear the earrings, then I’d say #2.

I’m not big on shoes that aren’t comfortable—to me, comfort and wearability are pretty much the same thing. But if you’re fine with them, go for it. I hear you on your casual lifestyle, but think these might be a perfect fit for that. They are a pretty timeless style and can go with nearly any color, any season. So if you get a surprise invite to a wedding in the summer and then the one Broadway show you want to see comes to town a year later, you’ll be able to wear them.

Aida

Perfect with the gold pumps! #1, #3, and #4 all look great to me. Do you have other nude dress shoes? I can see these lasting a good while as a "better than nude" dress shoe in all kinds of dressy outfits. Good with jeans if you like a good dressy-casual mix, probably for transitional weather for you. Though I suppose all that is moot if they end up uncomfortable! Body glide would definitely help with rubbing issues but not pinching.

delurked

Veteran

I’m going to walk around in them for a bit to make sure. If they were immediately uncomfortable I would have ruled them out. I am just not sure how it will go with quite a bit of walking.

Aida - I don’t have any nude dress shoes right now. I got rid of most of my dressy shoes recently due to the heels being too high. Also, I’ve skewed more to sandals for dressy in the past, so I really could use a pair of neutral dress shoes.

Aida

Veteran

I love wearing gold as my dressy neutral -- no need to go overboard anywhere else in the outfit if I don't want to, and I can also get away with something a little less dressy if I have to!
