Though I have to add that I have a pair of mustard suede wedges and they have been very versatile. josie411 on "If you had to buy one pair of coloured shoes - which one?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-had-to-buy-one-coloured-shoe---which-one/page/2#post-1064638 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 02:35:42 +0000 josie411 1064638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Another vote for burgundy, or a leopard print, though not as sure about the leopard if the shoe is more boot-like.

Now I've always loved heels but a forefoot injury in the spring of 2011 has made it virtually impossible for me to wear anything other than comfort shoes.  I went on a mission to find comfortable heels and came across some great ones that fit my criteria - pretty, not very high (2"), high toe box, cushioned inside, flexible material and well priced.  I now have 4 pair of these heels but the first pair was pink and I still love them.  They actually go with a lot of my outfits and I always get compliments on them.

I also have a very stylish friend who swears that every woman should have a pair of hot pink shoes. Sounds crazy, but when she has them on with an all-neutral outfit, they look amazing! jurocha on "If you had to buy one pair of coloured shoes - which one?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/if-you-had-to-buy-one-coloured-shoe---which-one/page/2#post-1062151 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 19:40:15 +0000 jurocha 1062151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Another scream for red! But, if that's too out there for you for now, military green - military is incredible versatile and adds some saussy (without the more obvious punch of red). When I was younger and didn't wear warm colours at all (my wardrobe was black, white, grey and maybe just a hint of blue), I bough a leather converse in military green (you might check Rae's post on the Cons highness). Man, those converses were worn to shreds. Seriously: I worn them with a hole on their soles for a few months... only giving them up once wet season kicked in and the sides of the sneakers also unglued.

Burgundy does not work like red -- it's more neutral and works very well as a colored neutral especially with grays and blues. Red screams PAY ATTENTION TO ME!
