Keep or Return: silver shoes - they are going back

Dear ladies, i need your help deciding should i keep or return this shoes. i have ordered them after Angie recommended silver shoes to bookend my hair. They are little bit out of my comfort zone being very pointy toe and metalic silver. I naver had such pointy toes before, mostly becuase they were usually not very comfortable and my feet looked huge in them. But this pair is actually very comfortable, heel is only 4cm and very stable. I am also little bit unsure if they look like party shoes and are too much bling for the office. My life outside the office is very casual, so if they are not suitable for the office, i will not have a chance to wear them. I tried them with couple of quick and simlpe outfits after i got back home from work, so please ignore the lack of styling and my tired face. And if something looks too tight, it is my after holiday weight;)
So, what say you? And please be honest, I can always order different pair

1 - with white jeans
2 - with original outfit for which angie recommended silver shoes
3 - with pencil skirt
4 - with flared jeans
5 - with black cropped pants
6 - with gray suit pants

EDIT - I am very disappointed but after wearing them in the office for 8 hours, mostly just sitting at my desk, they started to became increasingly uncomfortable. Sorry ladies that I wasted your time with keep or return. They really felt comfortable at the beginning. And i like them, and they go with so much. But life is too short to wear uncomfortable shoes. I am not giving up on silver shoes, so my search continues. If you see something interesting, please do let me know. I can always buy another pair of shoes but not another pair of feet

Well, I absolutely love them as you've styled them. Gorgeous and neutral in my book!

I'd keep them. They look fab!
But if you think you will never be comfortable in them, then back they go.

Absolutely keep! Those look excellent, but what is your doubt? Do they feel uncomfortable?

olga

KEEP.

Gorgeous with your hair.

Well. I'm not going to argue with Angie! The shoes are lovely and will work beautifully with your wardrobe and with your hair. Please be sure they are comfortable, though.

I love those shoes on you and hope that you will feel comfortable wearing them to the office. They look wonderful with your Jean outfits too, so may be a good way to dress up your casual looks just a bit.

Thank you laides, it seems that they are staying
They are surprisingly comfortable, my main question was do they look like office shoes or like party shoes. Unfortunatly I don't need party shoes.

What's your field? And geography? You could wear them in any office in Northern California, but not to court perhaps, as a lawyer
... or defendant

I am in europe, working in IT but having also some menagerial duties. It is government type of organization, and often in a meetings i am only female. There is no dress code, but my male colleagues are mostly in suits. Their idea of casual friday is removing a tie

I understand completely. Based on the pictures, they look like office shoes because you have paired them successfully with your office wear. I also agree with Angie, they definitely bookend your hair and look elegant, which still further ups the appropriateness (imho).

I think they look great how you've styled them. Party shoes would be 4 inches! I'm very conservative but I love metallic shoes. As Angie said, they go with your hair.

Bonnie

The shoes look great with everything you tried - you should definitely keep them.

Aida

Totally love them on you, a big KEEP vote from me. Extra loving them in #4 with the flares. Gorgeous.

Bijou

They look fantastic to me and not party shoes. These can be worn to the office, just how you have styled them. However, if they feel too bright you may prefer a dull silver shoe which would be more conservative. I really like this pair, because they make more of a statement - but if they make you feel self conscious, then you probably will not wear them.

Maybe then, I'd save the white pants/dark top/silver shoes combo for summer... Do maybe an all white combo and the shoes for winter.

Windchime

Well, I love them--in and of themselves and also as you have them styled here. They are gorgeous with your hair and beautifully complement many of the styles and colors in your wardrobe.

A strong vote in favor of Keep from me!

I love them, I vote keep

missvee

They're gorgeous...definitely keep. If they seem too shiny, remember that when you look down all you see is shoes right? But that's not how others see you, so rely on the photos to give you the true picture.

I think they look fab, and the simple style and low- ish heel make them elegant and more conservative, though of course they are not sedate! I might not start with those if advising a very young new female employee who had to try hard to be taken seriously, but your ensembles have a lovely, elegant business appeal.
I would start out with your more conservstive outfits- the dark skirts and dresses, very simple , but look great on you. Or dark trousers. The shoes add enough interest and it's a great way to introduce such an element at work, test the waters, and if no issues, which probably there won't be, you could get more creative later.

Maneera

They're gorgeous!! So beautiful with your hair

Janet

Wowza, I didn't even bother to look at any other responses because I love them with all the outfits you posted and they are really beautiful. If I had any need for pumps, these would be a nice find.

Jaime

You look fabulous - also especially love them with the flares!

Gigi

Wow! Definitely keep. I don't even have to think twice on this one!

Jjsloane

They are fab shoes and you've styled them beautifully. I adore metallic footwear and often wear it to my office (and am the only one). If they are comfy you must keep.
