Me Too Lulus - fit question

stylemama

I just bought the Me Too Lulus in pewter yesterday and they are adorable. My heart sings when I look at them. I love the cushioning too. And I know Angie is a big fan of them for comfort and style. My question is about the fit of the elastic. I've never worn a shoe with elastic all the way around. I love that the shoes stay on my narrow feet better than most ballet flats, but I'm finding that the elastic is digging in a bit. I'm wondering if this is the wrong size or if I just need to get used to this kind of shoe. I tried on a whole size bigger and it was huge. The half size up was unavailable.

I got a great deal on the shoes too - $52. So I really want them to work!

Do any of you have these shoes or have you worn this type of elasticized flat before?

Thanks for any advice.

I tried these which are similar in style in terms of the elastic:

And I found them very scratchy around my foot, especially at the ankle, where most shoes tend to rub. I'm not sure if the elastic would relax a bit with wear. They were pretty comfortable otherwise, but I have sensitive skin and didn't want to risk it. A few members have tried the Lulu shoes and found them comfortable, Angie included, so I am not sure if they feel any different from the ones I tried. I would wear them around the house for a bit and see if they relax at all.

Hey, I tried those on at DSW (and a million other black flats) and I think that is the way they are generally supposed to fit. The elastic is meant to keep the flats from falling off your feet. As you wear them more, it will all stretch out and feel better but until the, I recommend some moleskin over the rubbed parts of your heel!

I was going to recommend mole skin too. I have Ecco flats with the elastic and they are the only ones that I have found so far that stay on my foot.

Thanks for the moleskin suggestion. Not sure where to find that - or, to be honest, what it is. But I'll figure it out. It is now looking like the Me Too's may head back to the store. I found a pair of Franco Sarto flats that don't have the adorable flower, but are very comfortable and cute too. I'm sitting here wearing one Me Too and one Franco Sarto to test them in the house. The Me Too foot hurts just sitting here - not a good sign. The Franco Sarto foot is just fine. And based on the way it fits, I don't think it will fall off my feet. My heart's not singing quite as much when I look at them, but the feet feel better.

Stylemama- it sounds like you need that half size that wasn't available. I have those Me Too's and the elastic in the right shoe does dig into my slight bunion. I put a piece of moleskin inside the shoe at that spot and it does help, but I often wear a bandaid on my foot in that spot as well. To be honest, I probably shouldn't have kept those shoes since they weren't 100% perfectly comfy, but their cuteness won me over.
btw, moleskin is a soft felty piece of adhesive cloth that you would use to cover a blister while hiking or such.

Update - I returned the me Too's and kept the Franco Sarto's in the pewter. They are very comfortable and apparently I wear them a lot - as one of my co-workers commented that I must be loving them.

Thanks for your help! And queenie, your comments were very helpful as I saw how great the lulus looked on you with the white skinnies. Had to resist the cuteness and go for the comfort.
