For the sake of my pocketbook I'm grateful that I've never been drawn to the fur, however I would 100% wear them in the summer. In Southern California people here wear Uggs pretty much year round... and evenings are chilly, so..... Longevity-wise though, I feel like the fur trend stands a chance of passing before the mule trend does, so if you have any concerns about longevity of the shoe I might swing the non-fur direction? Just my opinion tho.
I have the flora and they are truly stunning!! I did spray them prior to wearing, but leather will be more resilent. Maybe both, lol!
You know your routine best. I can relate to your sense of dread for even the slightest of stains, because each one eventually adds up. I lost an Hermès Fourre Tout several years ago to this same predicament....matcha latté and ecru canvas are evidently star-crossed lovers lol.
Be happy with what you chose, and just own it! (Oh, and on Wednesdays, we wear pink, haha.)
LOL I had to look up what a Hermes Fourre Tout is! But the thought of *anything* Hermes being deflowered by a matcha latte (ouch) kind of solidifies my reluctance to take the chance on petal pink satin mules. Gravity favors no footwear. Sigh... on to the next one. Because there's always a next one...
Question for Princetown owners: Are they really comfortable? Would you consider them for walking around Paris in October? [emoji4] TIA
Once you break them in, they're extremely comfortable. The slingbacks were the most comfortable shoe right out of the box, I've walked miles in them a day with no problem. My mules however, ate away the top of my foot & baby toe when I wore them sightseeing in California. I can wear them with no problem now, but it took some time to break them in.
For reference I have a higher arch than most, so that perhaps factored in.
I agree with @WishList986 about breaking in. It also depends on the shape of your foot and how you walk, so the answer is likely to be a little different from everyone. My princetowns aren't super broken in but for me they rub on the inner arch of my left foot enough that if I walked a full day on city streets I would definitely have a blister (I put a sheer plaster or a band-aid on when I wear them). The right foot is fine and could probably go all day. So, for me it wouldn't be my top choice for a day of a lot of walking. But I've seen plenty of posts on here saying the opposite.
Also, isn't Paris kind of chilly in October? For that I might go with the Jordaan, so you could potentially wear it with a sock. (My Jordaans were a b*tch to break in, but once I did they are very comfy for all day walking).
Thanks for your replies.
I have Kiltie Horse bit loafers in black suede, just wanted something different. I guess it wouldn't be a bad idea to order them now and start the "breaking in" process. [emoji4]

i wear them in summer, i have them on right now infact and it is around 90F. i travelled Paris with them during late May heatwave and wore them in Barcelona in early May and again in Berlin just last week. They are very comfortable and my feet doesn't sweat.
yes! i had them on whole week in May in Paris. they are my ultimate travel footwear right now. i prefer them over Golden Goose or Chanel flats.
i have the pink donald duck ones and i have to say, leather is definately more resillient. i have a couple loose theards around the upper stitchings that happened the first time wearing them. another thing is as much as i love them i prefer my fur lines black leather ones because they are more comfortable, the fur cushions your feet where as without them during super hot weather your feet might stick to the leather insole.
i also have my eye on the pale pink pair but i'm considering going for the more darker pink with the fur. we'll see...

Hi, can I ask what year your Jordaans are from? I got mine yesterday and they are soo soft. They almost feel like Chanel espadrilles lambskin. I had to go down a whole size because they were so big. I keep reading a lot of posts that say they are narrow and hard to break in, I am quite the oposite and scared they will be going out of shape the first week because the leather and the whole shoe is so soft.

Are you certain you didn't get the Brixton ($630)? They look just like the Jordaan ($695) except the back can fold down because they are made of really soft leather.
If Gucci did indeed change the leather on the Jordaan, I think I would welcome it. My Brixton has held up with moderate wear. I mean if your shoes fit and they have some structure (e.g. lining), they should keep their shape.
Hi there. I am a 100% sure it's Jordaans. No fold down at the back. They feel great on the foot so if they hold their shape I'm happy
