I’ve spent hours on Zappos and Amazon, not to mention regular stores. Cannot seem to find a cool, youthful-type of shoe (sandal? cut out bootie?) that I can wear with cropped pants. I’d like something with decent arch support and soft upper.
I’d ideally be able to wear this casually - for errands - as well as perhaps a night out or with pants for work (sort of biz casual).
These are similar to some of the pants I’m trying to coordinate:
Those are great! I had a pair but unfortunately for whatever reason I cannot get vionic’s to work for me. I think it’s the whole size thing. But they were very comfortable and adjustable. They should have worked but the arch support was off. Still I would highly recommend
Not good with arch support, but I wear Toms with summer pants. Actually, I wear them year round as I have fleece lined ones too. So many cute patterns…and colors.
Not sure this kind of sandal is dressy enough for your needs with cropped pants. But they are very comfortable (thick soles, elastic straps) and have surprisingly generated compliments. I bought them a year or two ago via DSW mail order.
I don’t like sandals. In the summer I wear Toms or the espadrille style Toms which may give you more arch support than the standard ones. I think the closed toe Dansko shoes you bought would change the vibe of the cropped pants look but that might not be a problem (just a different look than a summery shoe). I think a different slip on style, like those canvas shoes from many brands that seem like a cross between a loafer and a sneaker, would work for that style of pants, or a cork wedge.
LOL - this discussions reminds me of why I often start my wardrobe decisions (including MOB/MOG dress shopping) with “what shoes do I want to wear?”. That’s partly because of my high school gig at Thom McAn shoe store … and a large assortment of comfy and comfy-ish shoes in my closet
I can’t get my daughter interested in Dansko clogs, which you know have incredible arch support. She has my high arches. She loves her Birks and lives in them, wears them with socks in cold weather. The Beatrice outsole is the next best thing to the clogs. I hope you love them. She will wear them with cropped pants.
shoes, let me know what’s your preference.
i would be tempted by these
