K/T Fall shoes and boots

Staysfit

Today is a good day for me to flip my shoes to my fall/winter collection. Every October I try to clean them and spray them with rain/stain spray before the bad weather starts. When I pulled things out of storage, I found a few pairs that may no longer be fashionable. Should I keep these or toss them? (Keep in mind that I am a shoe/boot person, and have a fairly large collection).
1. Clarks Cognac square toe cowboy booties
2. Sofft dark brown maryjanes
2. Naturalizer bronze maryjanes

I don't care for the first two pair-- the third pair is nice, but only you can decide if it fits your style.

The snip toe boots cut on the old square toe blocks (like Justin cowboys or Frye engineers) never really go out of style, but these exaggeratedly rectangular Clarks look dated to me. I would either a) store for a future fashion moment or b) pass on. The two flats happen to be brands I avoid because their designs so often read matronly to my eye. I know they are supposed to be hella comfortable, and I realize you work with children at school sites so if you need that level of comfort I understand completely. Otherwise I know you could find any number of more stylish flats in those two colorways and you may even already own some in your larger shoe wardrobe. I certainly wouldn't split wears for these if I owned cuter, hipper alternatives. Hope that helps; just my 2 cents... xo

Thanks thimblelina, Suz and Elly, I definitely own comfortable and more stylish shoes in these colors. I just looked at the condition of these shoes and they look pretty pristine to me. I like to wear shoes out, and that is the more typical way for me to purge them. I bet I didn't wear them much, probably because they are matronly looking! The most comfortable pair is the dark brown. The least comfortable is the bronze. I must have purchased the mary janes when I had plantar fasciitis due to running, but that was a while ago. I have no idea how old these boots are?

I'd donate these but think carefully on whether they are excess or a true hole that needs filling. You have been so good about purging, I'd hate to see all that effort undone!
