Low-contrast shoes...K/R - YouLookFab Forum

Okay, so those of you who have been following my saga of trying to find some low-contrast heels to go with crops this spring might remember that I have fussy, narrow feet that do not fit into pumps, and I am even having a hard time finding sandals. Yesterday, I found these and bought them:

Okay, so they're Naturalizer (but I didn't realize it when I picked them up). Does that mean I'm in old-lady territory again (I'm 33)? I feel like it's kind of a miracle that I found a pair of shoes that even fit me (believe it or not, 90% of my shoes--ALL my shoes that I wear on any kind of regular basis, year-round--are boots, because I can stuff them with insoles and they stay on my feet), so I might be biased, but I thought they were cute (I think they look frumpy in the side-shot, but who ever actually sees shoes from that angle?). Once again, I think they look better on my feet than they do in the photos, but my camera is unfortunately dead and needs to be replaced.

ETA: Forgot to ask...if I'm not in Frumpsville, can a shoe like this be worn with bootcut jeans? I ask because these are the perfect height for my pair of jeans that shrank...

I think the shoes are cute and don't look frumpy at all.

I don't think particular brands automatically equal matronly or unfashionable. It really depends on the shoe. I think these shoes look really nice.

Thanks for the replies so far. I will try to post a photo of me wearing them later, if I can borrow my brother's camera.

I like them. I actually have a few pair of Naturalizer. They have cute shoes, especially in the fall/winter, but it just depends on the shoe.

I started wearing Naturalizers at age 22!
(Now 43).
Have I been frumpy all these years?
Certainly not!
These shoes are cute, and being N., I'm sure they're also comfy. Yes, absolutely, I would wear then with boot cuts. They look like they will make your feet very feminine and sweet. Please post pics with them in outfits.

I think it's a particular shoe that can be frumpy, not the brand. My brown leather booties are Naturalizer and not even close to Frumpsville!

These shoes look cute and I think will be quite versatile for you. Comfort always comes first!

Not frumpy. You could certainly give it a whirl with bootcuts!

SIF, I'm no advertisement for frump-resistance; but I've actually been stalking those shoes a while --- and was thrilled to bits when Naturalizer hit our shores last year!

Very cute and sassy! Glad they fit!

I think they look nice, I really like the cone heel. They aren't trendy (they look classic to me, which is not a bad thing) so if you are wanting a trendy sandal I wouldn't say this is it. If you want them specifically for cropped pants I think they'll look a bit sweet and retro, if that's what you're going for
