I don't know, I actually kind of like the first pair. They are pretty unique. I like how they're sort of like a loafer, but a t-strap pump. The second pair not so much.
Ok..since no one said that they're completely ugly, I ordered both with free shipping,lol. If they don't look right when they arrive, I can return in the store. I'm picturing them with tights and short skirts or even with jeans.
I quite like the first pair, I think they'll be a lot of fun to wear, but in the picture the second pair is blah to me. Glad that you got them to try them out in person with free shipping!
