Adjustable Sandals with buckles instead

pepes mom — Wed, 26 Mar 2014 01:33:38 GMT

of hook and loop closures, please. When you have 3 of 4 areas adjustable with hook and loop, it looks old lady-ish. I understand that people like to customize things for their own feet (I do too) but can you cut back on the amount of hook and loop on one shoe?

I agree and looks so old style...... Not a good look today...

I agree as well. I recently ordered two pairs of sandals, Clark and Baretraps. Both were cute and stylish but both had hook and loop closures. I don't have narrow feet but I do have small ankles and the hook and loop closures even at the smallest were too big. If buckles were used I could have punched a hole or two for adjusting purposes. Unfortunately I had to send both pairs back.

I agree as well. My problem is the opposite of TootyJane. I usually have to adjust them larger and then you have part of the closure showing and it doesn't really hold well. I too would prefer either buckles or a bit of elastic.

Hook and loop is cheaper to manufacture.

Buckles, please!

We all agree.

Velcro, I think, is a great invention, and I use it in sewing and craft projects, but I hate it on shoes.

It's easier and quicker than a buckle, but I hate the way it looks, and this stuff does wear out eventually, and I just prefer a buckle to velcro any day.

I agree, cheaper than a buckle.Velcro is fine on sneakers but on a pair of Clark's $60 shoes, no. They look orthopedic. By the way, is anyone else upset at the price of shoes? New Clark's are often over $100. I don't think so. Why are they only showing sandals lately? Not always a sandal day.

And as usual I'm in the minority. I like the Velcro closures on shoes. I struggle with getting the buckle closed and it's easier with Velcro. I will admit that buckles look a bit classier but that comes in second to being easy to get the shoe on and off .

I'm in the minority with you. I prefer the Velcro. I think it's a ""cleaner"" look. I don't like buckles on my shoes (or my handbags).

I hate Velcro on shoes. Does every shoe have to have Velcro?

Try Munro.com. They have adjustable shoes in every width, with buckels, and are less "medical" looking. I think they are both comfort and cute.

QVC sells plenty of shoes with buckles. I think the velcro closures are for women who are specfically looking for that type of comfort shoe.

Four buckles on each shoe would drive me nuts.
