I ordered these two days ago and got them the next day. They are so light and comfortable. I will buy another pair in a different color. shoes

I have ordered a few so far..

Until now, I haven't found an animal print that I thought would look nice on my big ol' feet. I really like the scale of this pattern and that there's not a lot of contrast in the pattern.

I ordered the flats-- but I really want to try the bootie! (I have issues wearing heels in my office building due to my vision/depth perception issues).

also ordered these .. pretty basic but I love mules. This is about the size heel I am limited to (and only if the shoe itself is secure).

I am tempted by these but haven't ordered as yet

yaya-- they look so very comfortable!

I bought THIS GREAT SHOE from SAS last year and loved to wear them with jeans and cashmere. Wonderfully comfortable.

Love mules too (of course).

I agree w you about the gorgeous snake pattern; where are they from?

LOL.. I was doing some soul searching this morning. "Do I like mules because I am ridiculously lazy?" I don't think that's it.. but I do love to be barefoot or in slippers at home so they ARE a quick change to get out the door!

The velvet snake print is Vaneli. Nordstrom has them and I would guess Zappos too. It's the Kelvin loafer and the Taima bootie.

I like mules because they will never give you a blister, regardless of what socks you were or forget to where, they accommodate some swelling if you walk a lot or take a long flight, and I can just slip them off in all sorts of places.

thx

yes to all you said! I take my shoes off at my desk alla the time!

I have a couple of Vaneli shoes and there is a store about 10 min away. I get promo coupons from them. LOVE those leopard booties and kitten heels in general.

I just had my left big toenail removed last week, so I have not put on closed toe shoes yet.

I love mules also, especially now as people are really not wearing fall clothing/shoes yet. I have several mules with the toes out which are still cool but not quite as summery looking as sandals. I love the snake pattern but I do not like kitten heels. I also like the flat (well I try to find a small heel, but it's hard, I do not like totally flat) pointy toe shoes that are backless. I guess those are mules too. I'm on the hunt for a pair of black ones. I have a couple of pairs like the first ones you showed Funky that I like with flare leg jeans and even in colder weather I will wear them with textured trouser socks.

And one more style in the snake print-- for the mule lovers. I love the velvet heel but I've tried to make this style work before and it's a no go with my vision issues.

I think they'd look hot with black jeans and a turtleneck (my uniform for fall/winter weekends)

This is the Renita (available at Marmi)

Ooh, the mules are even better!

I better look for my coupons!

ok i am so buying those mules! perfect ... here's hoping they dont look comical

thx Funky!

The mules are especially cute!

I was going to buy this waterproof bootie last fall, and never did, but I think I'll get it this year. Seems perfect for walking the dog and general running around when it's wet outside.

Scout Bootie

I bought this shoe for my twenty-something daughter recently, and she loves it so much I'll probably get it for her in another color. Honestly, I'm not sure what makes it so 'cute' but she gets loads of compliments.

Everlane Trainer

My son has been wearing the Allbirds running shoe for a few years, and really likes them.

Love the snake skin flats. I have managed to avoid all the animal prints that have been so popular, I'm just not a fan of the sharp contrast in most of the prints. But the ones you linked are very nice. I'll have to check them out.

A Soft Surroundings came today and I thought of you when I saw these shoes.

Thank you, Bestyears and Maire-Cate.. I don't usually order from Soft Surroundings but it just so happens I added 2 shirts to my cart yesterday. I may need to try a pair of boots too!

Bestyears - love that scoutboot! The color, the lining, the brass (?) eyelet thingys?

Yeah, Mtn it's cute isn't it? I've wanted to try it in person, because I have very narrow feet, but haven't been able to try it in person. I'll probably just bite the bullet and order it online.

Oh I can order it for you. They are opening a warehouse next door to deal with my shoe traffic.

gscience.. not a big discount but I did receive a 10% discount from marmi in email today. I assume it's available on their site but if not, drop me a message with your email and I will send it to you!

My fall shoe shopping is a bit different since I live in SW FL where it is always warm. I have been spoiled by wearing Birkenstock’s and sandals. I just ordered a pair of Tieks ballet flats for an upcoming trip to Paris. It is hard to find (for me) shoes to walk in while traveling without resorting to running shoes. Maybe I’m too wrapped up in trying not to stand out as a tourist leading to uncomfortable shoe choices. I am imagining as long as I’m not in blinding white sneakers I should be okay. But still Paris makes me want to step up my game a bit.

I am a little behind in starting my fall shoe quest. But I ran across these today and may have to join the mainstream and get some animal print loafers. These also come in a gray snake skin color and several other yummy colors. Lucky brand usually fits me a little better than Van Eli, so Funky, maybe these might work for you.

I just bought that exact Lucky Brand print but in a low bootie. Have them on now! I'm in love!

I also love these from Madwell (they are so great my 23 yo dd wanted the white version so I grabbed those for her)

and these

my attept to edit the above was quite unsuccessful lol

Madewell

others

I am working a few days a month as a substitute teacher at a large urban high school, so comfort is key. Clark's are always good for comfort (not always so much for style!): Clarks Ashland Effie and the same is true for Jambu brand: Jambu Dalton

Cmm1964, my black Tieks have served me well in Paris and in Eastern Europe on our last two trips. White tennis shoes and sneakers of all colors are very popular throughout Europe, although I too would be reluctant to wear them in Paris. Black would be fine though.

Keep the shoes coming. Love these threads!

I was stalking some lady around Nordstrom Rack to see if she'd put down these shoes, but she didn't..LOL I would have at least like to try them on...maybe I wouldn't have even liked them and I wouldn't have FOMO.

I haven't been able to wear Aerosoles for a while. Their changes did not work for me. But as I was perusing, look at what popped up!

Martha Stewart and Aerosols.

There are wide sizes. Might work for someone!

Update on the Lucky loafers: I bought them today! I had a pair in my Nordstrom cart but ran into Belk to browse while I killed some time before meeting a friend for lunch. The had my size (9.5), so I tried them on. Based on reviews in Nordstrom, several people thought they ran true to size or small, and I would agree, but my feet tent to be narrow, not wide. My left foot is larger than my right, so I put a metatarsal pad in my right shoe and it was perfect. It had felt a little loose in the right heel, as my heels are narrow, and the shoe guy gave me several pads to use.

I was wearing a pair pair of black ankle pants and they looked great with those. I’m happy!

Glad you found the booties too lobby! Those were cute and so are those black ones with studs.

Yah, my order for the vaneli flat was cancelled because they didn't have my size. I ordered in a W because I thought that would allow me to wear trouser socks with them. I don't usually wear wide width so will order again in a basic 10 .. just haven't had time.

I did get the Treasure and Bond black mules and they fit well and love the pointy toe to mix things up.

I like the Lucky Brand animal print but I really need a smidge dressier for the office. Glad you found them locally!

I tried on a pair of madewell in the summer-- they came in a trunk club but I returned them because I wasn't ready to think fall yet. I was surprised how well they fit though. I should check out more styles.

I don't usually reach for aerosols-- they fit well but I don't find they wear well. I didn't realize MS was doing fashion!

Keep the posts coming-- I love seeing what everyone finds!

I was killing time this evening and stopped by Marshall's, and found black Frye Judith zip booties for $60. That price is unheard of... and they even had my size (10). My sisters rave about Frye boots, and so I tried them on, and they're incredibly comfortable. I usually have no patience for Marshall's but once in a while I stumble upon something good.

Ohh.. that's a great price for Frye boots! I love when the stars align on a deal like that! Ive had my eye on a few Frye styles but I fear they are just too high for me.

That is a very good price for Frye anything, Feathers! Great grab.

Bestyears - I ordered the Scout Bootie and they were delivered today. So far, I like the looks of them. I take an 8.5, but ordered a 9, and it was a good idea because an 8.5 would be too short plus too tight with a heavier sock come cooler weather. Hope they don't stretch out i.e. get wider, sort of feel like they might? What has your daughter's experience been?

Also, the sole is much thinner then I realized but the photo on the site shows them that way, just didn't expect them to feel so "flat". I'm going to wear them around today and see how they do.

Thanks for the heads up!

Hi Schoolhouse -I actually bought my daughter the Everlane Trainer -was looking at the Scout boot for myself. I still haven't ordered it, but it's on my list! I have very narrow feet so I'm eager to see how it fits. Hope it works well for you!

I just bought and received this hiking boot for myself - Keen Terradora- and have been breaking it in walking the dog in preparation for a trip to Colorado later this month. I love it to pieces, but as I expected, since it's still 90+ degrees in the mornings here, it's very warm. One of the reasons I want to get the Scout is for when I am walking Savannah during inclement weather. It's so hard to find an all-weather boot that isn't hot, but that one seems like it will work.

Oh, sorry. I mis-read your post about the bootie.

I've had them on for awhile now, went into town, etc. My feet seem to be swimming just a tiny bit, but I have a light sock on. Like I mentioned before with a heavier sock they probably will fit better.

Were you going to order your normal size?

I always run 8.5 to a 9, so was thinking of ordering a 9.

Been wearing them all day, except for when I mowed yard, changed into my work boots, and I must say I really like the booties. The temp has been slowing going and right now my feet are chilly, need heavier socks.

Best, I love those Scouts and I am still eyeing them. I'm a little chagrined about my shoe-shopping-carbon-footprint so I might try them in person.

I have been mulling over my snakeskin mules and I think I have finally decided "nay".

1. They have a little bit of a purple hue you can't see in the photos

2. It bothers me that both shoes are identical in pattern; if you are trying to mimic nature that would not happen. To me it looks odd.

3. All in all, they kind of look like shoes where, in a few years, I will take them off the shelf, laugh, and say "OMG I can't believe I wore these"

I have an event tonight that is supposed to be dressy, but it is outdoors and the temps is going down to almost 50! I have to get my winter shoes out of storage, alas.

I am so disappointed to hear this. I agree that it would be strange to see the exact same pattern on both feet -- especially in this style which makes the pattern so prominent on the foot. Ive been on the fence about ordering another size after my size was sold out. I had planned to get a wide to allow room for socks but I have a pair of boots where I did the same and my foot moves around in them too much. I think I am going to pass. It's a shame though because I find the other snake patterns too small and too busy.

I haven't had time to shop for other styles but I think my next focus will be a pair of light gray suede pointy toe booties. I am also tempted by the blondo waterproof booties that don't LOOK like rain boots.

Ive had fall shoes out all week-- I worked at home on Wed when we had 90+ temps but the rest of this week has been pretty darn cool.. my heat came on this morning! It's time.. it's time for new slippers too!

Yes, I am glad you get it because I think this was what bothered me most.

Slippers? I bought these last year and am very happy w them. They feel luxurious. And they are not uber wide and ungainly; they are attractive IMHO. I always buy like $10 ones at Kohls that last a season (I did have a really cute pair from there that looked like a cross between sperry topsiders and a fisherman's sweater) so for ~$90 these were a splurge but I really like them.

I have black, the grey are very pretty too.

No idea why *I* am looking at slippers now but these are soooo cute

I only started wearing slippers recently-- and just grabbed a pair of PB slippers each year. I loooved the ones I got last year but they are (blush) covered in little droplets of coffee. And honestly, they aren't that great of quality but I like that they are lightweight. I wear them over the 3-4 pairs of uggs slippers my sister has gifted me over the years.

They have them pictured this year but they don't have them listed as a color combo to purchase (they were called snow leopard).

I remember looking at the Manitobah ones you shared last winter-- good to know they are still working out for you. I love the black!

These are the only ugg slippers I wear-- they don't really have enough support to wear as shoes but I've worn them for quick trips to the corner store or my parents' house.

Lots of cute shoes here!! I am on the hunt for slippers or other shoes I can wear in the house. My Clark’s mule slippers have about given up. I need decent support, yet not hard soles. I have a bone spur at the back of my heel, so I’m working around that, too. I tried Birkenstocks, thinking to wear them around the house with socks this winter, but I seem to be between sizes. Nothing else has really jumped out at me as being supportive yet comfy. Shoe shopping can be frustrating!

I love my Glerups wool slippers. I've had them about 3 years, wear them constantly and they still look and feel good.

I'm not really shoe shopping so far this fall. In my size, I begrudgingly shop when I need to -- not for fun. But I saw these Dia de los Muertos booties recently and wanted to shoe them to you. The boots aren't my size and the boot doesn't even come in my size, so I may get something done in a different style. This artist did a custom pair of flats for me earlier this year, and they are just amazing! They are so neat and cleanly done that they almost look printed, but better. If anyone here wears an 8, I might be jealous.

Success at Marmi today. Gosh, I could have bought more since they have 20% off in store through 10/19. Online marmishoes.com 15% and the promo code is WELOVEYOU.

Got the Zodiac. It is also available in a flat black.

Bluebell - If you are looking for comfortable but supportive "house shoes" you might want to check out the Merrel Encore Ice. I wear these as slippers but find i don't want to take them off when I leave the house. I recently bought a second pair to wear out when we walk the dog in the evening. They come in a million colors, and if you shop around you can usually find them on sale.
