While I don't stand for 8 hours, I do spend a lot of time on my feet, standing and walking around the room. I love the cherry blossom print, but it didn't look good next to my face, so I thought the shoes would work. I know their flats aren't very supportive but I was hoping the wedges would be better. :( If your shoes have already fallen apart, that's not good. Their shoes are so expensive, they should last for years, not months. Now I'll have more money to spend on new fall items. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-76478037993636292002008-07-23T11:25:00.000-04:002008-07-23T11:25:00.000-04:00Math Teacher -- I had the metallic Lucaya espadril...Math Teacher -- I had the metallic Lucaya espadrilles. They definitely take some getting used to, and they're sure not walking shoes. That said, however, after a few times wearing them they are more comfortable than you would expect a 3+ inch heel to be. I don't know if you'd want to spend 8 hours standing in them, but they're not bad. All THAT said, though, I bought mine in the spring when they came out, and they just fell apart a few days ago and I took them back and only got the sale price since I didn't have the receipt. :( Might have been a faulty pair though...Aleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03340516790016918955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-3257765253298838712008-07-23T11:03:00.000-04:002008-07-23T11:03:00.000-04:00a and alexis - thanks for the tips!

However, if they are not comfortable, then I don't want them. I'm a teacher and I have to wear comfortable shoes to school since I stand for so long. I wish they had them in stock last week when they were 30% off, but they have been out of stock for weeks now. Of course, maybe they don't really have them. Anyway, any opinions?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-3033013797908588252008-07-23T10:45:00.000-04:002008-07-23T10:45:00.000-04:00I'm totally in agreement that the unstackabili...I'm totally in agreement that the unstackability of the codes totally sucks, and 20% off is generally worthless. But my prediction is that there will be a bigger sale (i.e. once all the store merchandise has been returned for online sales) maybe in the next week - so the 20% off is to keep folks coming back and looking/maybe buying in the meantime. Cuz sure, 20% off doesn't even offset the shipping cost, but it's better than nothing. <BR/><BR/>Even with all recent issues on the website, I'd still have to say I have more luck online than I ever do at the b&m stores. They never have my size or they're totally out of stock of an item - I almost <B>always</B> come away from the mall empty-handed.<BR/><BR/>I wanted to share my most recent online finds - just ordered in the last few days from the sale section. So many of you have been raving about the City-Fit Buttery Twill Trousers that I got obsessed with finding them in my size. Problem though, I don't know what my size is since their pants seem to be inconsistent depending on the type of cut or fabric. So - I've now ordered 6 pairs of the City-Fit Buttery Twill Trousers (over the course of the last three days!) - two size 4's in soft graphite, two size 6's in soft graphite, 1 size 6 in navy, and 1 size 4 in burnished moss. I'm hoping to take advantage of that "swap" day Alexis set up to get rid of the sizes that don't fit (since they're all final sale).<BR/><BR/>I know I should be mad at J.Crew for the customer disappreciation they've shown to us all, but I can't help loving their clothes. Banana Republic's current collection is so dawdy/frumpy/cliché right now too - I've gotta spend it somewhere, right? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-4688983334887266522008-07-23T09:36:00.000-04:002008-07-23T09:36:00.000-04:00My experience is that I placed an order for the po...My experience is that I placed an order for the polka dot San telmo.

The associate was so nice and said yes.<BR/>this morning I see there is an extra 20% off! I decided to call jcrew again. After being on hold for 10 minutes, I talked to an associate and requested a price adjustment. She looked at my order and agreed. <BR/>Now let's just hope the jacket will arrive sound and safely, and that I'll get the credit they have promised. <BR/>I'm getting excited about the fall items, but I'm also glad I was able to finally get my polka dot San telmo!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-33578530078474854382008-07-23T09:29:00.000-04:002008-07-23T09:29:00.000-04:00Anonymous at 9:03 AM: Thanks for sharing what the ...Anonymous at 9:03 AM: Thanks for sharing what the CS said.

THATS WRONG! I am sorry but if you offer discounts we should be able to use them. All the other retailers are doing it. I heard on the news that a new trend in NYC is going into a department store during the sale and asking the SA "what can you do for me on the price." Everyone is taking everything they can get because the economy sucks right now. If Jcrew wants me as a customer they better make it so i don't have to spend an hour on the phone with CS when they eff up my orders and I should be allowed to use FS on whatever I choose so long as its within their limit. <BR/><BR/>I AM FURIOUS WITH J CREW RIGHT NOWRebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868959427565253691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-65312631500461349492008-07-23T09:08:00.000-04:002008-07-23T09:08:00.000-04:00Anon: thanks for all the info from the CS rep.

Ridiculous for JCrew to be going backwards in terms of sale pricing -- next thing you know they'll say, "We went back to the FULL price -- buy now!!!"<BR/><BR/>I think they're desperately trying to save pennies where they can, not realizing what they might be losing in the bigger picture (ie, our good favor and shopping dollars).<BR/><BR/>And I definitely agree that the lack of ability to get both the percentage off AND free shipping is ridiculous.
