Munroe Abby color question - YouLookFab Forum

I am thinking about getting a pair of Munroe Abby sandals, but I am unsure of the best color for me. Nordstrom has a new color....wine. It looks more coppery to me than purple. I would definitely prefer the copper. Or, I am thinking of the taupe gold. I need to find the best color for both a navy sheath dress, and a white/tweedy dress with gold and silver speckles (but the overall color is mostly white. The speckles add subtle interest.

Has anyone seen the wine color in person? I tend to get very tanned in the summer if that helps. I also have dark hair.

I tried on the Munroe Abby last year, but passed because I didn't really need them. Now I need a pair of versatile, walkable, dressy-enough sandals. Targeting son's college graduation and hoping to wear one or both of the above dresses if the weather cooperates in the end of May. Graduation activities stretch across a few days and will involve lots of walking in a city.

I haven't seen these IRL, Aquamarine; our Nordy doesn't carry the brand. I know it can be hard to tell colours, especially metallics, from pics online. Maybe order both colours to see what works? From the descriptions of your outfit, I'd lean towards the taupe gold, especially since the graduation is at the beginning of the summer before any tan kicks in.

I got a pair of them in black last year, and they are soooooo comfortable! I was so happy to fill the wardrobe hole of "dressy sandals I can wear if I need to be on my feet all day or will be doing a lot of walking". I have seen the gold ones, and I have to say they are GORGEOUS. If I wasn't firmly on team silver, I'd have snapped them up. I am personally quite interested in the silver ones this year, hoping to check them out when I visit the Nordies in Ottawa next weekend. Fingers crossed they carry them!
Just an FYI, I did find that I needed to go up a half size in these.

Just to confuse things, I went down a half size. I have the suede; I don't know if that makes a difference.

I'd call the company (Munro American) and ask about the color.

Good luck with your shoe search.

Thanks Aliona. Also thinking gold may be more versatile as long as it's not too pale.

Elizabeth, just what I was hoping to hear! They seemed comfy when I tried them on, but you never know for sure until you spend lots of time walking around. I've been burned too many times.

Thanks Barbara for the sizing info. I do know they run very narrow. I suspect I will have to try several sizes and widths. Hopefully someone who has seen the wine color in person will chime in. Otherwise i may have to call, or order both colors as Aliona suggested

I have the Taupe/gold and love them. They are more of a muted gold and would good with both navy and the white dress. I got my regular size but they do run narrow so I order the W width. I have not seen the wine IRL. I first ordered the black and liked them so well order the gold. They are the most comfy heels I have ever worn. Hope to get the silver this summer.

I have the black suede, gold and now silver. They are super comfy for all day walking so I feel justified in duplicating. The gold is a bronze gold. All 3 seem like versatile colors.
