I love these Delman Oilslick nude slipper flats so much I re-ordered a half size up, then added inserts, because they run narrow, which was perfect for heel fit, but pooh for bunion.

Quite a few of my shoes are patent or mixed—I seem to be the patent magpie magnet. Online I thought I might not like the “oilslick” as being too flashy, but as a nude it is kind of fantastic, because by being iridescent, it changes color so it seems to avoid appearing too pink or too orange or whatever—it adapts. I've tried lots of tans and nudes and all rejects.

My dilemma (sorry I always seem to have one!) is that I might need to use slightly different inserts R and L (which I think I can find easily) and wear them a bit for the R shoe (always the problem foot) to loosen up more—it feels fine on carpet but a bit stiff on hard floor. I have to be thinking whether patent will do that because is not as forgiving as regular leather, but the larger size has much more give and I think it will. But I have not tended to be a shoe breaker-inner before. The leather soles are stiff, which is part of the issue but is helped a lot just when I tried random inserts I had on hand.

I love this style for toning down pencil skirts, and the color seems to be my HEWI color for my palette and for summer nude hose, for wearing not-black shoes with black or gray pants or with a lighter summer color pant. Probably the more modern of the stylings would be skirts or tapered pants (esp more tapered) , but I’d like to wear them with wider trousers, too, just to have more options.

Pics are kind of random re: tops but: 1 & 2--2 summer pencil skirts; 3 &4 tapered pants; 5-6 wider trousers; 7-AGL nude flats which are at present the footwear I like most with skirt/nude leg since I have not found a pale bootie or shootie I can wear.

In the photos, the contrasting toe cap does seem to stand out more than IRL.

First, what do you think of the look itself, and versatility? Then I will have to see if I'm comfortable with the comfort factor.
