CruisingSince2012 Posted June 21, 2015 #1 Share Posted June 21, 2015 For the first time ever I am probably getting sparkly multicolored shoes to wear with smart casual and formal clothes. The primary color is green. They're closed toe with a low heel support in the back. Would they look good any day on a HAL ship or only on formal nights, when I wear a sequined blue or red dress?

cb at sea Posted June 21, 2015 #2 Share Posted June 21, 2015 If you could post a photo, that would help! It really depends on the style of shoe, and the type of "sparkles"! Doesn't sound like a shoe to wear with casual things...but SEEING the shoe would really help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMW1330 Posted June 21, 2015 #3 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I think a picture would help on this one. My mom owns some black sparkles, but they are more glittery- think ruby slippers, except black and ballet flats. I think she wore them with some of her dressier tops and black slacks.

CruisingSince2012 Posted June 22, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Unfortunately I could not do a simple copy and paste, so here is an attachment. I don't think I ever saw a shoe that fancy in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzisme Posted June 22, 2015 #5 Share Posted June 22, 2015 From the picture that is a casual comfy shoe. If you have feet problems, very comfy Not sure if I would wear that on formal night but maybe it fits with your style? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbcruiser1 Posted June 22, 2015 #6 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I definitely see that as a casual shoe and would likely wear them in the daytime with jeans and such, but not on any evening onboard. I agree with the above poster though - if you have foot problems and need comfort, do what you gotta do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So these shoes will be perfect for me when I get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMW1330 Posted June 22, 2015 #8 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I agree with the other posters. I would do what I needed to in order to be comfortable. If the shoe fits your style and has bling on it, so much the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t60 Posted June 22, 2015 #9 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Nice casual comfy shoe, but for me would also look around for something else a bit more forma, but then it also depends on what formal clothes you're wearing as well. Long flowy palazzo pants or short cocktail dress....... Sandy in Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WELDON Posted June 22, 2015 #11 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I understand the need for comfort. But those shoes look like slip on sneakers with a metallic trim. There have to be other comfortable shoes out there. Is there an SAS store, the Walking Company or other comfort shoe stores near you? I think the idea of a sandal with a black sock or knee high would look better. If you absolutely need the sneaker type shoe, at least get it in black.

orchestrapal Posted June 22, 2015 #12 Share Posted June 22, 2015 OH no, this shoe is NOT for wear with anything but the most casual pants. The sparkles do not make them dressy just tacky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhfy Posted June 23, 2015 #13 Share Posted June 23, 2015 This shoe would be cute with casual pants & maybe maxi skirts. I have many foot issues & now go for comfort & not style. People aren't going to look at your feet, wear what is comfortable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porthopper101 Posted June 23, 2015 #14 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) I definitely have foot problems: a high arch, hammertoes, and ugly toenails. So these shoes will be perfect for me when I get them. Five years ago I had an accident that shattered my heals, fractured my back and hands. I was in the wheelchair for eight months. So yes, I understand your situation. Personally I would not wear those shoes at all. I believe the shoes can enhance or detract the outfit. Really, if you like them, wear them.

mousey Posted July 3, 2015 #15 Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) Bottom line...wear what you like and feel comfortable in. But in all honesty...I don't see wearing them with sequin dresses in the evening. There are so many comfortable shoes in such a wide variety of styles that I think you should reconsider wearing them with your fancy dresses...unless they are really long and cover up the shoe. For casual wear they are fine and even with a cute casual dress or skirts...but with sequin evening wear...not so much. Sorry JMHO and you did ask.

CELTICGIRLCRUISER Posted July 30, 2015 #16 Share Posted July 30, 2015 When I first read this I thought no you cannot wear green shoes with red or blue clothes as per the old rhyme. However when I saw the shoe I just thought nooooo it's just a sneaker to wear with shorts, or casual pants. I hope you found something comfy but more suitable if wearing a formal outfit as even with foot problems there are honestly "fancier" options. If you use the search facility this has been covered a lot with great suggestions over the years. Not trying to be mean about any of this but to me there is nothing formal or fancy about these shoes at all and IMO would spoil a lovely sequin dress.
