Thanks for your help, everyone. Really hesitated on this one and must have read each comment 5 or 6 times!

Shoes are going back to Germany :

1- I'm not sold on the slipper shape, they really remind me of slippers

2- too much white, and I'm not into white shoes, doesn't blend with my skin nor by trousers.

3- I don't need more closed shoes, I need more shoes that are open in the middle - like my gladiators or ankle straps - for warm weather.

4- the calf hair should get dingy quickly and I have no idea how to clean it

Next year...
