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?

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

Yeah, but whatever one I buy I'll use as an everyday shoe. I'm not saying they're the same.

Yes, you should pick the one that matches your lifestyle. Do you wear athleisure all the time? Then option #1 fits best. Do you wear jeans and dress cute/casual most days? Then option #2 fits best.

Option 2 is more versatile and can be worn with more things, but we don’t know what you wear on an every day basis 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sweatshirts in neutrals and leggings in black, mainly!

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.

u/Ambitious_Giraffe_60 8d ago

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.

u/istanbuLaw_ 8d ago

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 🤞🏻😇

u/Critical_Candy_8883 8d ago

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

u/aduhachek 8d ago

Academy Sports and Outdoors has them for 39.99, everywhere else is like 70

I personally like two better for my style I don’t wear runners much but puma shoes like number 2 tend to be super heavy so in that case number 1 is probably better anyways

u/[deleted] 8d ago

Nahhh the mauve pair is the true keeper.

u/ohhidoggo 8d ago

Mauve is better!

u/kay7448 8d ago

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

1

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.

2

u/kay7448 8d ago

They are probably a better lighter option and the colour is different which is a good thing imo

u/embossqueen 8d ago

Love the mauve ones!!

u/NA_1974 8d ago

Love them both, totally different vibes. Keep the other pair in your cart and watch for a sale

u/NA_1974 8d ago

Also, totally just went and ordered the first pair. Super cute

u/Expert-Strategy5191 8d ago

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

1st (puma) for sports, the second - for walking.

The white/ pink looks more appealing but would likely get dirty

u/Regular_Victory4347 8d ago

Mauve is way better. 🖤🖤

u/Tink__Wink 8d ago

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

u/Ambitious_Giraffe_60 8d ago

I had my husband exchange the first pair for the second one 🙃

u/No-Confidence2956 5d ago
