Please help me with shoes (again)! - edited links!

I like my one and only pair of Fidji pumps and would not mind to add another Fidji shoes to my collection.
1. G212 - light blue or tan? I am not sure light blue will work with my wardrobe and is tan too similar to my nude Fidji (see pic)?

2. G185 in light blue or taupe? - the same questions as for G212
http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ.....PDKIKX0DER

3. G187 in blue
http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ.....PDKIKX0DER

4. G179 - in yellow or ble?

5. G284 in green

6. G223 in yellow
http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ.....PDKIKX0DER

I would really appreciate your help with those: which ones do you think have potential to work for me? I also look to find shoes which I can wear with my white flares - do you think any of those can work? Is it better to keep them low contrast or can color work as well?
For comparison these are my current nude Fidji pumps. Do you think G212 and G185 from my cart are too similar in style and color?
The prices are too good to miss and my size is so hard to get so I would like to order today if anything passes YLF filter. Please help!

Hi Sveta,
When I click on the link that you provide, I get 9 pages of sample pictures of FitFlops. Is that right? I am also not able to see the the purchase codes (e.g. G212 and G185) so I feel like I can't provide you with any guidance.
All of this being said, I'm not a super experienced Amazon shopper, so perhaps the errors are all mine!

Thanks Krista, maybe cart works on my computer only. I will add the links to the post.

hmmm, maybe I've found my shoe dilemma solution... How does the sizing of Fidji's run?

Sveta

Marianna, Kim, Krista - I have corrected the links.
Kim - yes, those are the ones. As for the sizing I wear size 12 and need 43 in Fidjis.

Yes, I'm also wondering about Fidji sizing.

Queen Mum

Veteran

so you're saying that you size up?

DeclawedJaguar

Veteran

Honestly, Sveta, I'm not sure any of those are different enough from your one pair of Fidjis. Is there a shoe hole you're trying to fill?

Krista

Hi Sveta,
Thanks for fixing the links. Those shoes are so awesome! I had never heard of this brand before!
Here are my votes for shoes you are trying to choose:
G212 - tan
G185 - Taupe
** I know I voted tan and taupe for both - I'm not a fan of the light blue. This being said, I am a little biased towards tan/taupe shoes, so it's important to consider that
G179 - Yellow for sure! (OMG- they are awesome in yellow! With jeans? Are you kidding? Love!)

And all of the other ones are awesome too and I would snap those babies up!

Anonymous

I like the last ones, but what do you think about the brown/taupe in these? They're darker than your nude ones, and would add a bit of edge I think. Your long legs can handle the cuffs and the darker color. The blue, yellow and green ones are so light (pastel) and I'm not sure how they would look with your wardrobe.

ETA: Plus you already have yellow oxfords, yes?

Kim, this is what I need to do but I have wider feet so it may contribute as well. I hope other people with Fidji experience can chime in too - I just have one pair.
DJ, I am trying to add more low heel interesting footwear to my collection. As YLF helped me to identify I miss on darker and colored shoes but I am not sure light blue is a good footwear color for me.
Do you guys thing those green pumps and yellow booties can work with white flared trousers?

Claire, G223 are available in yellow only in my size

Sure! I forgot you wanted to wear them with the white pants. I like the yellow/white booties for them.

Sveta, I just love your current fidjis. They work perfectly in your wardrobe, and every time you wear them I am smitten. I probably would not repeat the skin-toned, since you've already got those. So, I'd branch out and add some color or else something that will work well with your fall wardrobe (these won't work for winter, right, since you'd have to wear socks in winter?).

Sarah, in winter we need BOOTS! This is more for summer to work and for early fall / late spring. As you see I selected closed toe and back shoes so I can wear them with nude hose to extend the season a bit - when it is too cold to go barelegged.
So far I have eliminated #1 from my list as they are too close in color to my nude ones.
I am torn on #2: they look darker and may work into fall when my nude ones are more summer shoes. What do you think?

Vildy

Veteran

G 179 would work for winter/fall with socks/tights showing through "window".
I know you already have yellow and white oxfords but I sure do like the yellow and
white selection they're showing with the cuff (I think, I can't bare to open all those links again to find 'em )

sarah

Veteran

I love 2, 3, and 6 the best, but 2 is more "fall-like", 3 is more spring/summer to me, and perhaps 6 could cross over.

Krista, you are such an enabler!
Vildi, thanks for the confirmation that one cannot have too many yellow shoes!:-)
Sarah, thanks for your opinion.

G 185 in taupe gets my vote!

Kyle

Veteran

I prefer Number 1 and Number 5. Number 2 would also work, but does seem closer to what you already have. (And I don't think 1 is too close to what you have.)

I do not personally think Number 4 or Number 6 would be nearly as versatile or flattering on and I would steer clear of those. And you already have yellow...

Number 5, in green, would be a lot of fun!

G284 in green takes my breath away.

Diana

I like 179 in both colors, although since you already have yellow shoes, I vote for blue. It looks like a neutral denim-y blue so I think it will be quite versatile. I think you have long enough legs to pull off the higher contrast with the blue. This style is quite edgy and cool in my opinion and very different from your other fidjis!

I also like 284 in green a lot!

Jjsloane

Veteran

My favorites sort of in order (yes I put them all in my shopping cart - really tempted):

G185 Taupe/Bronze
G212 in tan/brown
G187 Blue
G223 in Yellow

Thanks for all your help! I was able to narrow my list down to 3 pairs:

2. G185 in taupe? - the same questions as for G212
http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ.....PDKIKX0DER
because Angie said so

4. G179 - in blue?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ.....PDKIKX0DER
I am just too curious for this shape and blue color looks to be on the purplish side.

5. G284 in green
http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ.....PDKIKX0DER
because this green color makes me happy

It may happen that none of them works of course but I think I will try and report back...

Thanks again!

I'm voting for G185. It looks the most versatile and wearable.

I like the green ones!!!!! cool shoe!!

G185 in Taupe - the touch of metallic always gets me, the heel is their nice chunky, stable heel that would be great for your walks to/from work. Nice color for fall and even winter.

I'm not sure of that blue color with your wardrobe.

The green is beautiful, but more summery than fallish, and has a skinnier heel.

For anyone still wondering about sizing: I wear a solid 8.5 and have a slightly wide foot. I've purchased three pair in Fidji 38.5 (whereas I'm typically a 39!). But there have been two styles where the 38.5 didn't fit right, and I never pursued them in 39. . .

I jsut saw that the amazon "Lib Blue" of G187 is called Purple on Zappos. Your hunch was right! I think that shade of Purple sounds pretty cool. Zappos video also makes them look extra cute. . .but the four reviews seem to indicate this style runs a little small. . .
