White Shoes

Kelly · Hermes

I had a pair of white low-heel wedges a few years ago, and I wore them into the ground. When I bough them, I could only see myself pairing them with a specific dress I had in my closet, but I was surprised at how often I reached for them!

I own MAYBE 2 or 3 prs. of white shoes....LOL I LOVE the wedges, so fun! It's almost Spring, so I'm sure I'll wear them more! I like the 1st and last pair, pretty cute. :)

I haven't worn white shoes since I was old enough to personally pick out my own shoes. But, I wear a 9, and I always think my feet look bigger in white. People with little feet can get away with more.

Me too! Mine were off-white with bronze trim, but I killed those things. I'm finally considering retiring them this year because they are in really, really sad shape. But I love them so much, I don't want to part with them!

Oh those are cute. I haven't had white shoes in years. I think it is just because I never thought about them. That and I always opt for black or brown. I might have to pick up a pair this summer. I see them going with a lot of items in my closet.

Kelly & Kenzie (and anyone else who might know) were your white shoes easy to keep clean? I just wonder if hink they might show their age and wear easier than a colored pair. The more I think about them, the more versatile I think they might be.

Boots, mine were made of crackled leather, so they sort of aged gracefully. I do have a pair of white patent leather platform peep-toe pumps that definitely get scuffed up super easily. I hardly ever wear them and they look like they've been worn more than they actually have been.

They were pretty easy. I don't remember ever having any real problems with the straps (I mean, nothing that I couldn't just wipe off with a rag). The wedge part was a little harder to keep clean. I don't know how to describe the material it was made of but it was obviously man-made, softer than wood or plastic...hmmmm. So my knowledge of how to clean that probably is not helpful at all but I would just use Oxy-clean and an old toothbrush.
