Delurked-Thanks! I had not seen those Franco Sarto's yet, I'll add it to my list. I have a pair of Franco Sarto espadrilles that have been my favorite shoe for my summer capsule wardrobe this year so right now I am partial to them for comfort.
Tanya-Thanks! Those CH wedges are gorgeous! But they are a half inch too high for me as an everyday shoe. A shame my feet are so pesky with heel heights.
Joyce B-Thanks for the feed back on the PG. And you are correct, I am very careful on details, especially for shoes. I know I am too lazy to deal with buckles and lace ups when leaving the house. Every time I don't think it will be that big of a deal I'm grumbling about the shoe or boot the entire time I own it.
Susie-Thanks! I know right, it is really hard to find a simple navy shoe which baffles me. It's as basic a neutral as black.
Nadya-Thanks! Those are a lovely ballet flat.
Suz-Thanks! I am also curious about the Earthies, although I wish they weren't suede because my opportunity to wear suede doesn't last too long. First snowfall and salt and they would be ruined.
Smittie-Thanks! I haven't had much luck with AGL fitting my foot in the past, but I'm willing to give them another try. I adore the pointy toe design of both shoes you linked, hopefully one of them will work for me. The hispanitas I'll pass on because the buckle is too big for my eye, I like the smaller buckle on the AGL or the buckle free design of the CH.
JayS-Thanks very much for the feedback on the fit. I had foot surgery a few years ago and I don't mess around with the fit of my shoes anymore. If they don't 100% work I can't wear them. Period. So I certainly understand being limited with shoe options.
Bridgie-Thanks! And I am with you, I too am switching my wardrobe over time to a softer group of colors including navy in the fall versus black and more tans and creams for spring and summer. Not that easy to do because black is always the most prominent color in any collection or season. I'm stumped on the velvet shoes because they won't get much use in my area. Once we get snow and salt, they would be in the closet. This is why I was eyeballing leather over suedes and other materials. I'm willing to try them out because what my computer screen shows and what I see in person don't always agree but I'm leaning towards the velvet shoes looking like slippers myself.
