Believe it or not, both photos are actually the same sandal color which makes shopping online so frustrating. The sandals haven't come back in stock at Nordies, and I'm not willing to pay full price. Thanks to you all for reminding me to listen to that little voice in the back of my head. Besides, I run too cold (Reynaud's in toes) to wear sandals as often as I'd like and don't really *need* these.
For a warm (covered) nude sandal, I prefer the Fly London ones below (lots more $$$), but the color may be too cool for my skin tone. I am drawn to the cognac flatforms, but I have to remind myself that my feet would freeze and that much platform is disproportionate to my height and would overwhelm me.
