Ooops! I did it again

[shoesense]

So Ive been eyeing these Espace Rubens Mary Janes (gold nubuck) for quite a while now. Problem was, at $230, they were kinda out of reach.

Ive been following the sales with great interest, though, and when the price pretty much hit rock-bottom ($43, or 82% off), I just couldnt resist anymore. I just had to have them. Like all the other 5 (five) Espace shoes I have, theyre quite comfy (well, the exception is this red suede strappy wedge sandals where one strap gnaws away at my big toe; Ill have to have that stretched). Anyhoo, Im wearing them right now with brown pants and a Banana Republic sweater and later when I go out I will throw on a pashmina shawl IN EXACTLY THE SAME COLOR, what are the chances of that? Colors look a bit different online than in real life (the gold/mustard color of this one is a bit deeper, could almost pass for orange)--and I didnt realize I had clothing items that are basically the same hue.

Cautionary word: Theyre a bit too flat, if you know what I mean--in my opinion, they cant be comfortably worn without an orthotic insert (I wont walk anywhere without mine, even when the shoes do, in fact, have arch support). Otherwise--cute as a button!
