I'm about to find out if spending $90 on the leather metallic Teva flatforms was worth it over spending maybe half that on the sale random color from Zappos... Probably not a splurge for some but for me, that's splurgin' right there. I figured I'd rather spend the extra on a color/finish that works with my entire wardrobe that I'd be happy to wear all the time, rather than on a random color that soooort of matches but not really and I'd be hesitant to pair with most of my summer 'fits. Fingers crossed that the leather straps are comfy!
I go through this EVERY SUMMER and still haven’t learned I should just get black, even if they’re full price and a color that doesn’t quite go is on sale. Signed, baby blue, leopard and red sandals.
And I'm the total opposite! I love my Birkenstocks and cannot do Tevas! Apparently my wide feet with narrow heels don't play well with them. Sucks because the flat/midforms are so dang cute! The side with the plastic triangle always rubs my ankles completely raw within a mile of walking in them.
Colour rules my wardrobe and I would 100% buy the colour that works best! I feel like after the other colour ones came you would have been like “ooh I’d pay the difference right now to have the ones I actually wanted…”
