I have nude low heels with pointy toes for work and 4" wedge sandals (very comfy despite their height) for casual wear. I also have a pair of semi-transparent light gold sandals (slightly metallic) that achieve the same leg-lengthening effect with a dressier look. I'll probably wear those to my cousin's wedding in July. I too associate nude shoes a bit with older women, so I'm very careful to choose a shoe shape that is younger. No sensible lower rounded toe and 2" block heel in nude for me. I’ve been doing this the last few summers.

But they suit your style so if you do decide to give them a whirl, let us know the verdict. Francesca, if you ask Lesley your question through the forum, she’ll help you out with where she got her shoes. Actually Zora and Laura, it took me a while to get used to the look of fleshed toned shoes too because I thought they were "old granny–like". But they are magical in the right shape and with the right outfit. Maya, I have not had the Blowfish shoes on anyone yet so I can’t vouch for their comfort level.

I think mine are more of a very pale peach colour, but they are fantastic. It's really worth trying to find a good pair. A friend of mine, who is Pakistani, found her "nude"...it's almost a walnut colour and has a leg lengthening look too.

I should buy some since I'm only 5 feet tall. Hmmm I don’t own a pair of flesh-colored shoes. I should buy some since I’m only 5 feet tall.
