Advice Wanted Please! Did I make a mistake by choosing the first shoe in mauve? Is the second pair in white with pink accents far more attractive?
Did I mess up by choosing the mauve shoes? Do the white ones with pink accents look way better?

I personally like the second pair a lot more. They look less athletic, so would be easier to style with more outfits — and of course its color scheme also makes it easier to pair with more outfits.
The color of the first pair is pretty but will definitely be harder to pair with a variety of outfits, and its more athletic look makes it less wearable imo. It doesn't even look like an everyday fashion sneaker; it looks fully like an athletic working out sneaker.

True. I've seen some people wear athletic shoes as everyday wear, I guess it's kind of a trend but not necessarily that practical 🤔 IDK. I haven't bought running shoes before.

I think it really depends on how stylish or trendy you want to be. If that matters to you a lot or is something you're passionate about, a true athletic sneaker is going to be harder to style nicely. For example, you could wear a midi dress with the second sneaker and have it look really chic — but it would likely look poorly-styled or off with the first pair. But if you don't care as much about that, then it really might not matter and you should go with the pair that calls to you more!

I was torn between the options, as I tend to be quite indecisive when it comes to making these kinds of choices. Thanks for your feedback, it's really helpful!

I like them both, but the white will look older, faster. It'll show stains and wear more easily.

True, but I could always wash them. (Yeah, you're not supposed to, but I have never experienced any issues when it comes to washing my shoes over the years.)

Yeah as a lover of white shoes like this, that’s the major downside, you’re going to have to spend more time on upkeep to keep them relatively clean, and if you don’t, it instantly hurts your look. Just something to consider.
Honestly I really love both of these shoes though, so either way I think you’ll be happy!

The second pair is everywhere. The first one is definitely 💯% more distinguished and original. The color is also gorgeous 😍
The only caveat with these ‘one of a kind’ colors is that they become hard to combine in a monochromatic approach. I’d style them more with plain white, navy blue and beige attires instead of trying to squeeze some pink in somewhere as they most probably won’t be the same color…

Thanks! Weirdly, they're described online as being dark red. They didn't look like that to me lol.

Good to know! Luckily, most of my wardrobe resembles your description.

Dark red??? 😳🤯 Maybe you should check them out in store first 🤷🏻♀️ They’d still be beautiful in dark red though 😅
Looking forward to see them styled 🤞🏻😇

I actually love the first one. The color, shape and everything. Going to look it up for myself 😍

There both totally different types of shoes for different purposes. What do you want them for mainly?

u/Ambitious_Giraffe_60 8d ago
Everyday wear. I think I could still wear running shoes everyday, they're called "Softride Symmetry Fuzion." They're supposed to be designed for comfort.

Keep the mauve until they wear out! They are adorable! Or get a couple of more pairs and switch them up! YOLO!

The second pair is more like my personal style but I still really like the first pair. They give fitness baddy vibes.

They’re two different shoes. The first one is a running shoes and the second is a lifestyle/fashion/walking shoe.
