Good looking in an R. Crumb sort of way - Ok folks - here's
the fix for the heel rubbing. Go to the drugstore & get "Dr.
Scholl’s for her heel liners". They're simply these lengths of
clear rubber, & you stick them on the inside of the shoe just
below the edge, where it hits the heel. Problem solved. They
should just offer them with this shoe, so many people complain
about the heel. I do think this is a good looking shoe. If you
stand there & gaze down at your foot, it looks clunky, so I do
not advise this, as it will make you fussy; instead look in
the mirror & you can then see the grace of it, MUCH helped by
the scalloping. Wear with plain socks or barefoot to show it
off, the scalloping is much less noticeable with patterned
socks. I got the brown as it looks good with my skin tone when
worn barefoot. I think I'll order the black when I have the
bucks - it's a well made shoe & the black is dressy &
versatile in that way black shoes are. I'd say if you're
getting just one pair, get the black. It goes farther. Size -
this is European, so it's tricky. Maybe go to a store first &
try it on. Or order 2 pairs. Remember, this is a pretty cousin
of the Yonnah shoes & is supposed to be a bit loose. As to
people getting blisters with the strap - I recommend you wear
it on the loosest hole first. The shoe feels loose, but if you
wear it around you'll get used to it. After an hour or so,
tighten to the next hole. That way you can find the fit for
you. If you start with it snug, it'll very quickly feel wrong.
Overall - probably the most feminine & graceful shoe you can
find that is actually walkable. This shoe goes very well with
skirts & dresses, yet looks absolutely fine barefoot with
capris, or going funky with little white socks & a summer
skirts.
Out of box comfort, no
break-in needed for me. They look good with both casual and
dressy skirts and pants. The only drawback is they make my
feet look much bigger that usual. Recommended for anyone with
wide feet. |
