Keep or Return: Nancy Geist silver flats
Permalink Closed

I'm having a tough time deciding on these shoes.



I've had them on my zappos favorites list for two years.  I finally bought them a couple weeks ago when they were marked down to $42, originally $245.  I've tried the lesser expensive silver ballet flats, like old navy and target, but I don't like the way they look at all.  These are more structured than a ballet flat, they are kinda ballet flat inspired.


That is a great price, but I'm really limiting my shopping right now and I don't want to buy anything that I won't be able to wear for several years.  Am I blinded by the good deal?  Will I be able to wear them for a long time or do they already look dated?


I typically don't worry about whether or not things are too trendy, I figure if I like it, I don't care.  But, I'm completely on the fence about these.


TIA!

If you've had them on your wish list for two years and still like them, I say keep them.

I voted keep as well. I don't see them as being really trendy, as metallics come back year after year. They're cute!

I agree with the others, but I personally don't like the heel on these shoes.

I did the same with my Grey Ant dress...have been obsessing about it since september '04 and finally broke down and got in two months ago. It was definitely worthwhile, even though I too was trying to control my shopping. Plus that's a killer deal.

you basically got them at a gap price tag.  Keep.


 


how are they in person- are you impressed and do you love them?  are they comfy?  will you wear them?  if yes, double keep.

Keep them for that price it's silly to return. Besides it's not a passing fancy you've wanted them for 2 years!

Thanks girls!  I decided to keep them.  I wore them to run errands this morning.  They are comfy and cute w/ jeans so that sold me.

You should keep them but I agree with another poster, I don't really like the heel.
