Really stupid shoe question

[Lynne M]

.....from the fashion challenged.

How would you wear a shoe like this, with cutouts? Socks wouldn't look right, and barefoot seems icky and uncomfortable, especially with a leather insole. Do you wear them with knee his? Peds seem like they would show through the cutouts.

I see so many cute shoes like this, and they'd be great for my casual office environment, but I just don't know what to do with them......

I usually don't wear anything other than the shoe when wearing flats but I've seen coworkers wear knee highs.

I would wear them with no socks etc. If you have to wear something wera a knee high. Honestly though they look like something a little girl would wear so my first thought when I saw them was ruffle socks. JMHO.

Knee highs or trouser socks.

Knee highs or trouser socks.

Ah, trouser socks! I didn't think of that.

I would wear them with the high heel peds. They are very low cut and comfy. I got some at kohls and they are more of a little sock than a nylon. very comfy.

Wear nothing but the shoe. imo, wearing anything with them would look tacky and not right.

I know what you mean, I thought they were kind of little-girly too, but there seem to be so many shoes like this out there lately, with cutouts or a mary jane style with a strap. They're kind of growing on me.

You could get the little socks that just cover your toes and leave the top of your foot bare. They would not show.

I cannot wear shoes (other than flip flops or strappy sandals) without socks.

I have shoes like that. In the winter, I wear trouser socks. In the summer, barefoot.

Hm, I'm going to have to look for those, they sound promising.

I did get a pair of mary-jane-ish shoes from Lands End a few years back, but have barely worn them because they're so uncomfortable without socks. I'll try the high heel peds out with those.

Thanks, everyone!

Found these on Amazon, they look like just what I need.

I wouldn't wear anything with them. I don't wear socks with flats even if it's 20 degrees out. I hate the way flats look with socks.

Oh I know, I wasn't trying to be offensive. I personally like a lot of them. I just would strive for a non sock look if you can. I think that makes them have a more "mature" look if you will. Of course I wear yoga pants to places other than yoga so maybe I am not the best person to take fashion advice from.

They have the no show sock which is smaller then the sock you are thinking of and I think would work.

I hate socks I think just depending on the pant I would wear none.

 

[ChristaDeVil]

I have had several pairs similar to this. I either wear nothing or a light sock/trouser sock.

 

[pixiewings71]

As others have suggested, I'd wear the socks that cover your toes only.

Oh, there was nothing at all offensive about what you said. I used to dislike this kind of shoe, thought they were little girlish, and then it was..."well, they're kinda cute". "They look really comfy." "I want them".
