Poll: help me pick a shoe

so it's been 4 years since I last bought a new pair of shoes (except for the $10 black ballet flats I got from walmart when I was PG last year) so I thought it was time to get a cute new pair.  the flats I have are ok for quick trips but I want a really comfy pair and recently my SIL was wearing a really cute pair of shoes and I asked her what they were and she said they are Privos and are really comfy...

so, help me decide! I want something that is versatile that can be worn w/most outfits b/c I'm not the kind of person that has 100 pairs of shoes. I want a simple wardrobe!

[Poll]

Re: Poll: help me pick a shoe

  • Oh I love the charcoal/black ones.  Infact, which brand are these?  I might have to steal these!  :)  It seems all I wear these days are simple black shoes, and if they're not simple and they're dress up, they are black.  Black is so versatile to me.  Good luck with this choice and let me know how they fit if you buy them!!  Yay for new shoes!!

    It's the Privo Pateo.  I bought this one already and it should be here tomorrow - but then I saw the others and started second guessing my choice!

    They retail for $80 but I found them for $47.90 at endless.com with 7% cashback through mrrebates - sizing is limited due to the sale price.  The sizes are different though b/c i normally wear an 8.5-9 and I ordered both the 7.5 and 8 to try in these b/c it said the 7.5 was equivalent to a 38 Euro and I normally wear a 38-39 Euro (I shopped so many sites online I don't remember now which site had the Euro size equivalents). my SIL had warned me that they run bigger than usual b/c she normally wears an 8 and in this brand she wears a 7. but that's why buying from sites w/free shipping and return shipping is great :) if you happen to be one of the sizes I bought and i end up returning them i can let you know so you can stalk the site for when it comes back up ;)

  • I love the purple, and I think a dark purple like that is almost like a red.....goes with a lot, actually.  Although, the charcoal ones are nice too......

  • i like the eggplant the best will look great with black, brown navy beige-the charcoal one looks like the colour isn't really a true black or a gray or a brown so imho it would be trickier to wear with black for example.

     

    Hope that helps.

    on a separate note I am feeling so guilty for my shoe addiction-i probably own/wear the most impractical shoes ever.

    I voted for charcoal =) But I thought the eggplant looked nice too. Those two were definitely my favorites out of all the options.

  • the colors are all cute but i would choose the charcoal one. the others would limit you in the color of outfit to match.
  • ooh, i've tried privos before, b/c they're supposed to be super comfy - one of my friends loves them.  but they hurt the back of my foot - the achilles?  it's like they go up too high on me or something.  i hope they work for you!  i love the eggplant ones.  I think the charcoal would be harder to match with black (which may or may not be an issue in the summer!  i know i tend to wear lighter colors in the summer)

  • I voted charcoal because of versatility but both the eggplant and the pear were a close second. I have shoes in similar colors, and it's really surprising how often I wear them! Especially if you have a tendency to wear neutral clothing, like I do - the then shoes add a nice pop of color.

    haha no need to feel guilty Alix! I personally don't have a lot of shoes but I am starting to have a very bad shoe addiction for miss A...and that could get really $$ since she will outgrow them super fast!! but the little shoes are too darn cute!!
