Whew! I was afraid everyone would hate all of them!
My thoughts on why each one made it this far when many, many others did not.
Black Aerosoles: I already have a pair of black loafers. Super comfortable...in the morning. Ok, but less than wonderful late in the afternoon. Plus, inserts do not fit in my current pair. All those issues are solved with these. Different vamp and vibe with these two pair, so the new one would likely be an addition rather than a replacement.
Gray Leopard Aerosoles: If everyone had said these were horrible, I would have still kept them as house shoes! Diana, my wardrobe is mostly cool toned, but I do love a traditional leopard with gray and black. I've purged one tan leopard pair, and I'm hanging onto another that will do until I find a replacement. The gray would be an addition. (Traci, you're hysterical! Hope you love them as much as I do!)
Black/Gray/Tan striped Aerosoles: I love these (Laura!), but I was wondering if I was blinded by the double whammy of color and comfort. Other than the blues in my closet (excluding jeans), these work color-wise with nearly everything in my closet.
Snake Enzos: Less comfortable than the Aerosoles but still easily all-day shoes. If I keep these, they will replace another pair of snake loafers that are just too taupe-y monotone for much of my wardrobe. These are cream, black, gray and taupe. I find the lighter background to be less jarring than the other two patterns when I wear lighter bottoms (white, cream, light gray, soft taupe).
Navy Naturalizers: Boring, I know. But, I'm new to navy, and it may or may not settle in to my wardrobe after this year. These felt like a safe way to stick my toe in.
Sand Naturalizers: I swear looking in the mirror, these are very good matches to my skin tone. They certainly aren't in the pictures though. I'm going to have to take them outside to have a look in proper light.
