Keep or toss: sitting sandals edition

Going through my closet again. These three pairs of somewhat dressy sandals have not been worn for ages and I'm not really loving any of them. What do you guys think? Keep or toss? Besides these, the only pairs of dressy shoes I have are my black Naturalizer Prissy strappy sandals and a pair of low heeled black slingbacks. I think I need to go pumps/sandal shopping...

1/2: Not nude at all on me. The bottom part is black which looks rather clunky to me. These are not comfy enough to be 8 hour shoes but they also don't look very dressy.

3/4: Relatively comfy, low heels, but they look rather dated to me, plus the band seems to hit in a weird place on my foot.

5/6: Not too bad comfort-wise, but do they look juvenile/ridiculous with the big blingy thing on top?

If they look dated/clunky and are not fitting comfortably, then it's time to let them go.

The first pair is okay. You could hang onto them until you find a suitable replacement. The pair in pic 3 are my favorites- not at all dated as I've seen similar styles in stores right now. I'm not crazy about the bling in the last pair.

I'm not wild about any of them but the real question is - how long since you wore them and would you really wear again as a first choice given the right occasion?

#1 and #3 appear to be a tad too big a size for you, I see a lot of extra shoe showing in the back. I vote toss. I think the third pair does not fit your current aesthetic. I vote toss as well.

Good point, Christieanne, I have not worn any of these for at least a year, probably more like 2 years. I don't have much call to wear sitting shoes in any case, but lately I've just been reaching for the black shoes even with outfits that would probably look better with non-black ones.

Zap, I did not notice the extra space in back until you pointed it out, but you are absolutely right. I think part of it is that these are all slide styles, which my flat feet do not particularly like to stay put in so they slide forward a bit. My black shoes are both slingbacks, so I think that is a better option for me.
