2024 footwear rejected

Taos luckie sandal - ugly, 38 right size. Taos Big Time cute in 38, but soles too thin. P448 John 6.5 right size, heel slipped, cushioning too thin at ball of foot .. maybe diff model would work. Paz loafers 6.5 would need insole but too clunky. Vaneli Faunus in 7 too tight in toe area, too loose at heel. Sam E Layla pattern too bold, but size 7.5 was good. tried lighter color but it had too much cool beige. NB Classic in 7.5 toe hit front, back heel section too high so can't size up. Reebock white with stripes - love the look but toe fit is good, heel slips, and the very thin sole at the front makes the shoe feel unstable. Have had similar issue with other Reeboks. Vionic Cheryl- very comfy but in black too utilitarian and boring, in beige color won’t go with enough n my closet. ON when added enough sole padding in size 8 toes hit front , size up heel would prob slip. Naturlaizer sling backs fit ok, not sure cushioned enough, pants hems catch under foot. White sneakers synth not leather DUH. Fitflop rally sneakers (no find) comfy but 7 was too big. Aerosoles Bramson sneakers in 7 slipped just a little at heel (sole was a bit flexible), decided want white ones.
