Keep or toss shoes round one

Debbie

Veteran

I am decluttering my house and cleaning out my closet. Confession I tend to hang on to shoes forever. I have tossed some but these I am on the fence about.

First pair Bandolino dark red flats. Second pair dark red Everybody booties. These I love and would keep if the flower wasn't on them. I have thought about trying to have it removed. Third pair Lifestride Chanel flats. Fourth pair Franco Sarto buckle flats. All of them are comfortable I am just afraid they are dated.

All opinions are welcomed. Round two hopefully tomorrow.

It's hard to tell without seeing them on your feet. At first glance, I like the first two. The ballet flats and the one with the buckle look fine but not super current--at least to my eye.

I will take pictures tomorrow with them on my feet.

Hi Debbie! Im a shoe lover and know how hard it is to part with a favorite
I like the color and look of #1 & #2, would love to see them in your feet though to be sure of how it looks. Somehow I like #3 too but I agree with the bow detailing.

I quite like the first pair so that one would stay if it was me.

#1 and possibly #2 as well are candidates for keeping I think. I'm not a fan of the bow on #3. #4 I'm on the fence about.

I don't know what's dated any more. For a while I thought square toes were out, but now they're back. I'd keep anything that was comfortable as long as it wasn't a duplicate of something you like better.

I'm watching replies too.
Agree #1 seems sleeker and hopefully reads current or somewhat classic. Can't see #2 well. #3 has less structure and with bow, on me can look too twee.

Keep the first two styles. Debbie.

I see that nobody else seems to feel this way, but I would keep #4. For currency, check out these styles from Miu Miu currently on offer at Saks and Barneys:

I do have to admit that I am biased in favor of oversized pilgrim buckles with flat square toes. I've loved them since the first Mod days. But mod is in now, isn't it?

Thank-you Ladies right now I am going to keep 1 and 2. I am on the fence about 4.
I am going to wear 3 tomorrow for Childhood cancer awareness because they are gold and black. Shoes are so hard to purge.
My husband is having a good time teasing me about this because he believes in 3 pair one black and one brown and one atlehtic As he says I don't even have 4 to think about giving away. Little does he know this is only round one.

I would keep 1 and 4. The flower on the second pair throws me off.

I see what OC sees with #4. Not to be difficult but I really don't think it is fair to judge a shoe severed from a body.

Shevia I should have taken a full body shot next round I will.
