Does anyone have this one? Do you find them comfortable? I’m thinking it’s because it’s a kind of mesh fabric but the seam area by the big toe seems lumpy. I can’t think of how else to describe it. My other pairs don’t do this maybe because they’re suede or thinner fabric?
I really like the look but I think they might have to go back.

Ooooh, this looks so good on you.
I can't see what you mean, but I believe it's not an aesthetic problem, but a functional one? Does it hurt your toes? Socks won't help?
It's no good to keep a pair of (expensive) shoes that will hurt your feet, so I say try it for a few more days and say if you can make it work. They are definitely cute, though.

Oh yeah, to anyone that feels like answering...

Which hi top style do you prefer? Slides or Francys?
I never tried the latter on, but I sometimes feel tempted to... I doubt I'd like them as much as my slides, though!

You're returning, then? Sorry they didn't work! They are really unique, I think. But comfort first, in my humble opinion.

I’m going to look at them again and see if the seamed area on the inner side of the shoe toward the tip will soften or not. It’s right by the joint in my foot and I don’t have bunions but the stiffness is what I’m feeling. If it looks like it will remain stiff I’ll have to send them back. I usually wear half socks, the hubby says why wear socks at all and I say because I like the sock feel on my toes, and that helps with any rubbing I might feel on my toes.
It is a functional issue, I like the look, and the black laces, I have a thing with black laces. LOL

I really like how black laces look too! And I didn't even know that until recently, heh.
Well, fingers crossed for you and your toes! I always wear socks too (even though I'd love to not feel like I have to) because my toes are nightmarish and EVERYTHING hurts them.

No problem! But I think you should try one (or both) of them one of these days ;)

Heh heh I found styles of mids and slides I like but I’m trying to resist because we’re coming up on summer and I don’t see myself wearing those too often in summer. Still thinking about yellow glitter, ROFL, I’m not thinking those are overly versatile. But maybe since they don’t really go with anything I have they’d be ok. Haha that’s like a turquoise bag I had/have that I carried for a long time because I loved the color. Went with nothing so I told myself that meant it went with everything! Haha

I love both the slide and the Francy for different reasons. The Francy elongates he leg, it’s a narrower shoe and sleeker looking. However, I find the slide to be more comfortable since it’s wider in the toe box and has padding around the collar. The Francy has no padding and can irritate the legs from rubbing against them in if you’re not wearing higher socks. I

sinyard, you’ve commented on the mid stars before, is the main reason you’re not a fan is the height of the shoe? Are they comfy even tho the look is not your favorite? I just need to find a store that carries any of these and try them on. Issue is everyone is always sold out!

I think it was me that commented I don't like them! If I'm not mistaken, Sinyard's favorite pair is a mid star.
For me, they are comfy (maybe more so than the SS), I just didn't like the point they stopped at my legs (I am short and my legs are not that slender compared to the rest of my body, so it's a gripe of mine) - it's a totally personal issue.

Yeah, and I think the Francys are the style that most resembles Converse... Not that I don't like the look, I just wonder if they wouldn't irritate my legs for the very reason you pointed here!
Also, my feet aren't particularly narrow, so that's something to consider too. Would you say they run more narrow than the SS?
I wish there were stores that carry them where I live... My best bet would be Nordstrom, I think, but they're almost always all sold out, so.

Ah ok, thanks for the info. I have a pair of Tods that are the same height as mid star and those are my most comfy sneaker style in that brand. I have barely worn my other Tods sneakers since getting the GG’s.
I just need to verify, all 3, mid star, slide and Francy all have the wedge insole like SS, correct?

I can say for sure that both the Slides and Mids do have the wedge insole, but I also believe the Francys have it too (never tried them on, so can't tell with absolute certainty, though).
I once read that the Mays don't have it, but I'm also unsure of it.

I really like the look of the Mids on other people, they have a lot of different details (the toe caps, for instance). I think they are absolutely cute. I fell in love with a pair online and had to have it, but when they came I thought the style simply didn't look right on me, you know? I wish it did!
