Should I keep these shoes or should I dye them?

I asked all of you if I could dye my Kork Ease sandals and I got some great advice. Thank you very much.

Then I found the same sandals (for half price) at Sierra Trading Post, so naturally I bought two more pairs. Pictured left to right: Natural Vachetta which I already had, Putty, and Eggshell. Unfortunately they didn't have grey in my size, or I would have just bought it. Really, I didn't plan on keeping both of the new pairs. I just couldn't tell what color they were, and I can return them with no problems. But now I find I like both colors. The Putty is a nice taupe. And Eggshell is a nice light cream. I should point out the obvious: these are huge wedges! Maybe I shouldn't buy any more wedges?

Also, my local shoe repair had the shoe cream that Diana recommended.

What do you think I should do? Return the new shoes and dye the old, keep the new shoes, dye one of the new pairs, or another alternative I haven't thought of? I'm open to your suggestions.

Do you think taupe and cream both have a place in your wardrobe? I'd probably keep the one that would be the most versatile and then dye the nude with the metallic. I think that style of sandal is pretty timeless but wouldn't want too many duplicates. You might find something you like better down the line.

I rather like the range of sandy neutrals. But um, keep the new pairs and dye the old? Or is that too many sandals?

I like kellygirl's advice. If you're going to dye a pair, I'm guessing that the cream will be the most successful (though I've never dyed anything, so I could be wrong). I wouldn't keep more than two pairs total, as I think you will crave more variety in your closet after the novelty of the new sandals has worn off. At least that is what would happen to me!
