Opinions Please! Which Nudish Sandal? NEW PICS ADDED

tarzy

I'm looking for a nude or neutral sandal to elooooongate my short "athletic" calves.
Which of these do you think will work best? I have fairly pale legs.
I'd like to wear them with Bermudas (either black or khaki.)
Ideally, I'd want a low vamp, but I can't wear peep toes, so that pretty much leaves me with a strappy sandal/ankle strap.
Thanks! Other suggestions also appreciated!

All Clarks - 1&2 are Fiddle Scroll, 3&4 are Laguna Jewel:

#1 Beige
#2 Pewter
#3 Beige Patent
#4 Grey Metallic

Gosh, I like all of these. I think it depends what kind of look you're after. 1 and especially 2 will give you that elongating look, but the metallics will add a fun edge to your outfits and would look great with the black.

How was that for an especially wishy-washy unhelpful answer!?

Carolyn

I love them all too but I think I like 4 the best!

I like 1 and 4 the best. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them though.

I like them all - I know that's not much help though! Can you order them all from zappos and see which ones you like best in person?

I like 1, but they are all cute. Maybe order a few then try them on to see how they work with your skin tone? And of course post pics so we can weigh in :).

oops- I meant #1

I like the #1 the best if you're looking for a neutral color. The others are nice too, but #1 seems like it fulfills the purpose of neutral color and wearable with black and khaki.

Aida

I like #1 best, though it may perhaps be too "natural" looking for you. So with that in mind I like both metallics, I think that's a really fun option! As a fellow pale skinned gal I find metallics are great nude-ish tones with a little more punch I'm hoping to increase my metallic sandal collection, myself!

They're all gorgeous. If you feel your legs are pale, which mine are too, I'd go with #3, which I might also look into. I like the color for wearing with bare legs.

Anonymous

I was thinking along the same lines as Aida. They are all great but #2 (pewter) looks like the one you may feel most comfortable wearing with your style. The style of #4 in a similar color looks a bit more blingy than what we are used to seeing you wear, but still a great looking sandal.

I think for very pale legs I would exclude 3. The others all seem equally good to me. I have to say that these four shoes are hilariously similar except for the color

I'm alone here, but I am going for #3. I think it is the closest to skin colour.I like the metallics too though.

Louise

I prefer 1/2 but that's a personal bias because I'm not keen on the jewels on 3/4. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them though x

I'm voting for #1 and #4, with a slight edge to #4.

I love all of these and feel tempted by them, too!

If you're looking for the nude look, I think #3 qualifies best. Having said that, as a fellow pale skinned, muscular-calfed (is that a word?) girl, I have just purchased my first pair of metallic sandals and I am LOVING them as a neutral. Mine are more flat, and pewter toned, and I am surprised at how versatile they are and how nice they look against the skin. Also, they have a higher vamp than I might ideally like, and I find it is not bothering me in this tone as much as it would in a darker shoe. So I vote for giving #2 some serious consideration.

For you? #2, definitely. I think it would fit with your aesthetic very well.

#1 - KristenKP has them and raves about them. The fact that they are available for a second season makes me think they must be pretty amazing!

Debbie

I love #3.
Truth be told they all look great so I don't think you can go wrong.

In imagining your leg skin tone, I'm thinking #3 would elongate the most. Because you have that ankle strap to deal with, I'd think that the shoe closest to your skin color would achieve your goal best.

#1 and #4 - and it boils down to comfort.

rosee

Veteran

I really like all of them. The decision would be easier if one were a centipede.

Do you want a nude shoe to compliment the skin, or a metallic as a neutral? I agree with Angie that you should pick based on comfort first since they are so similar.

tarzy

Veteran

Laura - you have such a good eye!

#1 are almost exactly like Kristin's sandals from last year! Last year's color was the most perfect color for my skin - truly a "nude" on me - but they sold quickly and I couldn't find them in my size. This year the style is slightly less fussy, which I like better, but the color is a bit darker.

I'm still not sure they're "the ones," though. I really would prefer something with no ankle strap, as Rae mentioned.

I think something #3 would elongate, but I always have trouble with peep toes cutting into my toes. And it would have to be without the bow, and a lighter color. Maybe the bronze - #4?

#1 - last year
#2 - this year
#3 - evil peep toe
#4 - evil peep toe in bronze

Have you tried #1, Tara? I found the straps uncomfortable.

Heather

Veteran

Tara, it is hard for me to vote without seeing them on you....but, unmodeled by you, I like the beige.

I find the term "evil peep toe" hilarious (*whispers* ....and untrue....).

tarzy

Veteran

Well, I tried #1 on at the mall and didn't like them at all. The color was off - not nude, and not dark enough for contrast. The style didn't look right either - it just didn't feel like "me." (Whoever that is.) Not as comfy as other Clark's sandals I've tried. Just didn't work.

Oh. That's too bad. But at least you can rule them out now. Not much of a silver lining, admittedly, particularly if you know Clark's are usually good for your feet. Hmmm.

Kyle

Your original number 1 looks like it would work best with your coloring and wardrobe. Neutral, but with a touch of richness.

Tara, I also tried Clarks Fiddle Scroll and found them not comfortable and did not like how they looked either.
I hope your quest for the nude sandals will end with a happy ending...
