PIP: Which flats should I keep

[cransplash]

I purchased 2 nude flats from Zappos: Pour La Victoire (pointy) and Vera Wang (round).

I primarily got it for my more colorful pants (red pants pictured) but need a nude flat for all around daily wear- which one do you think I should keep?

Note: PLV is more comfy and I feel better quality than VW. I do like the rounded toe of VW, but feel like it's cheaper made than PLV. I think rounded toe is more versatile (but maybe that is just me?)

Vera Wang (round toe) vs. PLV (pointy toe):
ETA- The PLV looks gray but it's really more of a beigey nude? I've provided links to both shoes from Zappos below.

I like the VW better against your skin tone and the shape seems more comfortable on your foot.

I'm conflicted. I love pointy flats for the leg-elongating look, but I like the color of the rounded ones more on you.

I say rounded, unless the quality is bad, not just lesser.

Pointy toe!

I love pointy toe flats and plv in general. I like round toed flats but the VW ones are a bit too pink for me so of the two, I personally would choose the PLV.

I kind of thought the VW flats were a bit pink-ish too. I already own TB Caroline flats in Camellia Pink, but the TB ones are definitely more pink-ish than the VW. I don't own a pair of PLV but I am in love. I love the quality and I feel like it is a better made shoe all around. I got it in a size 6.5 and I feel it is a smidge tight but wonder if it'll stretch with time? (size 7 were out of stock).

[yasibee]

Wear them around the house with socks. They will stretch out.

I like the PLV in the first pic better and the VW in the second pic. I agree with Mav though. Stick with the PLV. I love my PLV sandals and crossbody bag. The leather and quality are phenomenal.

Yeah, they seem a bit snug. I'll try yasi's idea and wear socks with them around the house. Endless sells them and they're $180 (while Zappos was only $103)

I really like the VW pair.

Hmm that's tough. I actually much prefer the color of the Vera ones. At least in your pics, it really brightens up your skin tone. But I don't hate the plv ones. How do they look when you are bare-legged? Like, do you have a pic of yourself in shorts or a skirt that we could see?

Hmm good point- I don't have one now. I need to get work done tonight, but I'll try to remmeber to post one up in the next few days (very busy days at work and first 5k race tomorrow).

[adlove]

Good luck with the race!!

Thanks, I'm nervous but excited

I like the look of the rounded ones better.

The look (round vs pointy) or the color?

To be honest, I like the color better on the VW round toe, but I just felt like the material is kind of cheap. When I walk, I feel like I can see the dents in the leather. I don't own any VW Lavender label shoes- are they good quality?

[fashionx]

I like the round toe VW better, and I think it goes better with your skin tone, from what I can see.

Good luck with the race!

[NachoProblem]

Pointy!

[house]

I say return both. The VW color is good but you are not impressed with the quality. The PLV ones do look gray and not very nude for your skin tone so hate to say it but I think you are back to square one.

ETA: As for shape my vote is still the same as before: the PLV. But I don't think the color works for it to be a true nude for you. However, they will still work as a neutral, but won't elongate your legs if that's what you want.

[shopgirl07]

I really dislike pointy toed flats even though they are very in right now. That said, I think the PLVs look good on you, more sophisticated than the round toe.

[misshark122]

I like the PLV ones actually! And i'm surprised because I wasn't so sure on pointy, but I like them a lot.

[amarima]

Pointy

[315bride]

Ditto others. I think the PLV ones look more sophisticated. I am sort of surprised because I wasn't expecting to like the pointy toe on the nude shoe.

PLV! I still don't really care for the color of the VW. They're not really nude.

I'm so torn!

Vera Wang (round):
- Color: The nude is more nude color with a slight hint of pink. It kind of reminds me of my TB Caroline flats in Camellia Pink (but those are definitely more pinkish in color)
- Quality: I’d be pissed if I paid full price for these shoes. The quality wouldn’t justify it
- Fit: The size is perfect for me

PLV (pointy):
- Color: It is definitely a more beigey-nude (I put it up against my red pants and they looked fine to me). Don’t know why the PIP look more gray but it’s a more beigey nude
- Quality: Excellent! I can feel cushioned support (not really in VW ones) and the quality overall when wearing is a huge diff b/w PLV and VW
- Fit: The size seems a bit too small (6.5), but Zappos no longer has it in size 7.
- Toe: I really like the pointy toe

[karebear304]

I still like the PLV better.

[slarce]

The pointy ones - the color reads more neutral and the shape is more sophisticated.

[AlpineSlide]

I vote for round/Vera.

[busybodyk]

I would get the pointy shoes.
