Jenni NZ, thanks for your comment and pictures. Interesting that the footbed marks that could make a shoe look old (when there isn't a foot covering them) have so little relation to the actual number of times a shoe has been worn.
The red shoes, btw, took themselves out of the running during my "trial wear" with them last night.
The blush ones are indeed the ones I was calling Petunia Pigs. Warner Bros Cartoons must not be as universal as I thought. Here is the character (and she doesn't even have those shoes anyway).
I probably should not have bothered including the platforms because you're right, they're costume material for me.
The cream colored pumps are the oldest in the batch. They have been worn so few times that it is easy to let them go.
White shoes are tricky. Here is another look at the white woven loafers and the white slides. Structurally, they are in good shape. I wonder if I could use a toothbrush on the weave. If anything, i think the slides could loosen up a little more and let my feet slide further forwards. But dangling them from my toes would show the footbeds.

The Cat, you and I have the same thoughts about marks inside shoes. We must've been writing at the same time.
I'm embarrassed to see in these pix how poorly I've cared for my shoes, and am gearing up for an assault with leather cleaner, polish, etc. The closest I come to shoe care most of the time is bringing home those shoe wipes from hotels and using them before special occasions. I've got to step it up! I don't store clothing that's been worn without washing it. (I have hooks where I hang things I wear frequently that I can wear again before I wash them). I should make a habit of going over shoes before putting them away as well.
