My "Me Too" verdict in stores

Whilst working in stores today, I managed to try some Me Too peds. Here we go:

o “layton”: good for a broader foot. Very comfortable. http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....rchresults

o “lulu”: By far the best and most comfortable. KILLER. I am going to get these in black tomorrow. My Swanns are finished. http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....rchresults

o “limit”: okay. Quite comfortable but not as nice as the the other two. http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....rchresults

o “lotto”: did not pass my comfort test. Buckle digs into your skin. My bony feet were not happy. http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....rchresults

o “Arena”: lovely! I’m not into suede, especially not for Seattle, but this a good little boot. http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....rchresults

I had to size up half a size in everything. Hope this helps!

The lulus are so cute! I tried them on too, but I guess they were too short for me and my size doesn't come in half sizes. Oh well! They're really similar to my Linea Paolo 'fae' flats so I'm not too sad.

Also, I just have to say that Me Too is the best brand in the world for carrying up to size 14. Amazing.

Swanns are finished?! Even the ones I gave you in January?

Thanks for the reviews. I'm a bit disappointed that the Lulus are the most comfortable because I'm not actually that crazy about them. Do you really consider them to be replacements for the Swanns Angie? They seem a lot more trendy and casual.

Since you have tried the Legends, how do they compare to the Laytons in fit? They look pretty similar.

Marianna, do any of the other styles grab you? I have a client with a size 12 foot and she too LOVES this brand. I think the 12 actually fits her. I have long toes….

Maya, my black Swanns are finished - not the pewter and white. (Thank goodness). I need another pair of black Me Too flats. You’ve actually got to see the lulus on. They look different on the foot. I was impressed. They are funkier than the Swanns but still Chanel-esque so I’m all for it. One day I shall own these:

The legends are the same style as the laytons. I think they will work for you and Shiny because you have broader feet.

I like all the styles, but for some reason I've never bought a Me Too shoe... I have no idea why. I should try the Lulus on again next time I'm at Nordies (although I really don't need flats, I have too many as it is...)

Maya, I like the LuLus, but I have to say, I like your GC's even better! I worry the LuLu's will only work with skinnies and leggings - the rosette would get stuck on anything with a wider cuff? And not sure but I fear the rosette might overwhelm a smaller foot?

My zappo's order did not arrive yet, and it should've by now. I hope something didn't happen, since the doorbell rang while I was on a conference call. Hmm. Sometimes they misdeliver to my neighbor, who has a very similar address. I may have to go down the street and knock on doors to retrieve tomorrow. Then I'll give you my take too.

I never liked the Swann's - I found them uncomfortable. Too bad about the Lottos -they look cute!

Thanks Angie. I know you walk a lot but that would have been wacky.

I'm just not into that flower ornament on the Lulus. It doesn't look right with the rest of the shoe. Guess I have to see them in person.

Chanel shoes are gorgeous (of course). Have you ever had a chance to try them? They look narrow.

Does Legend=Layton=Lacie's?

I do like the Lacie's ... they are like slippers on my feet. There is no arch support, and no heel, but they are sooooo comfy, that does not bother me at all. My only gripe about the Lacie's is that the silver got scratched off somehow in one place. Grrrr.

The other model that works great for me is the Nini. I thought the Limit looked like the Nini, but with the ruffle detail, hence why I am giving them a try.

Angie, I wish the Me-Too company would grant you a blog interview! I would want to know: how do they decide on the names of their models? I have wondered if a model begins with the same letter - like L for Lacie, Layton, Lulu - does that mean something? I would also like to know - how do they make the shoes so friggin' comfy, even without arch support or a heel???

Thank you for this report. My MeToo Swanns are comfortable, but not as comfy as their Lila (last year from DSW). Lila looks like the Swann in black but is a bit flatter. Today I'm wearing their Nasha with square toe and big flat bow and heel similar to Swanns. My least comfortable MeToo is Summer. It's a small wedge heel on a peep toe.
I'm very interested in the Arena boots in grey. I'd snap them up if they weren't suede.

Thank you so much for the review Angie!

I am very glad to hear that Lulu's are comfy, since the purple ones went on my wish list as soon as they appeared. Now after your positive critique, I will be definitely getting them at some point. I already own the Limit in pewter and find them quite comfy too. And the Laytons in zebra are very tempting. I am a huge fan of Me Too!

I've tried on both the Lulu and the Limit. The Lulus were very comfortable, but the rosette was too much for me. I felt like I was wearing clown shoes. I much preferred the Limit, but my big toes felt squished in them. The Laytons sound like they're worth a try.

I bought the Sunset wedges in the burgundy patent at NAS, and they are extremely comfortable and cute on.

Love Me Too shoes!

Angie - I just bought the Lotto's in Red. I tried them on in black in the store and they seemed comfy so I'm crossing my fingers that they work. The red's were not available in store and are getting shipped to me. I'll walk around in them at home and let you know!

Seriously Angie, I think Me Too should give you a generous discount for all the business you're giving them. You have certainly rounded up a large group of followers!

The rosette *is* dramatic. I guess you either like it or you don’t. I like floral ornamental thingies.

Maya, sure I’ve tried on those Chanel flats. I try on most of the Chanel shoes every season. My Me Too’s are a lot more comfortable than any Chanel shoe I have tried on to date.

Shiny, I wish I could interview the Me Too company too! Hmmm. My mind is ticking over time. Can you imagine if we got a YLF discount for life! That would be sweet.
