Okey-dokey, seems like the consensus was the shoes are not as bad as you feared, but black might be better than white (previous thread). This was also my gut instinct, and the more I thought about it, the super-bright white is just too difficult to wear. I wear lots of white, but always more in the realm of cream. I will leave the bright white to the athletes and the rappers and the cool working mom I saw wearing these shoes in the first place.

I am still ill and un-styled. It looks like I am wearing blush, but actually I fear it is fever. (Don't worry though, I am getting better, especially with all your kind wishes from the other thread.)

So the shoes are not to present myself to the world, but for casual things like,

a.) running out to the grocery store while home sick
b.) playing with friend's kids outside
c.) taking the dog out
d.) going to the zoo and things like that.

Whaddyathink?
