Hi ladies, I hope this is not a silly question, I recently bought a pair of the all leather white with black toe, but the white is an off white.

I need styling ideas. I tried them on with a pair of white linen trousers and they didn't go because the shoes are off white, do I just wear them with black skirts or pants or jeans. BTW, I am 51 yo.

Hi! I can't give you styling ideas but I'm glad I'm not crazy! I was going to get the same pair but they looked off white. I've been indecisive about them because I'm afraid I'll have trouble finding what to wear with them. I really want the true white and the pics that others are posting look white so I thought maybe they're not truly white, all are off white. I posted a reply to someone's pic on this thread, asking if their shoes were true white or off white and I didn't get a response. I'm just worried about having the same issue if I buy them (trying to wear them with white and they don't look right).

I'm thinking you'd have to stick to jeans or black bottoms. I already have the beige and black which I haven't worn yet because not sure what to wear with them. I figured white would be easier to throw on with almost anything.

Good luck! I'll keep checking the thread to see what others think.

This may sound ridiculous, but are you sure they are "white?" I ask because my Saks had the beige leather w/black toe next to what I thought was white leather w/black toe...The SA pointed out to me that they were actually "pink." They were such a very, very light pink that you couldn't tell until you placed them next to a pure white shoe. Honestly they would pass for white next to anything but WHITE WHITE. They were VERY LIGHT pink. Had the SA not mentioned it I wouldn't have know they weren't white especially since they were next to the beige espadrilles.

The white pair is def not pink.. It may not be a true crisp white but it's def not pink.. They look pretty much white to me.. I wouldn't even consider them cream not the pair I tried on anyway..

Sorry to interrupt the flow of shopping related q's. For those who have had these a while - do they eventually get the "Tom's effect" if you know what I'm talking about? Do you always wear some sort of sock liner with these or do you wear them barefoot? How are they after a summer's wear? Do they get gross more quickly than other flats?
