I don’t own any princetowns in white, but my guess is that they’d be a bit more fragile being white. I do have cream/black ones with fur and they are in pretty good shape, but I don’t wear them that often.

I literally just asked this in the Gucci forum - been wondering too! Wondering if scuffs and dirt are easy to clean off the white leather and if there is any yellowing or color change from cleaning agents. Any experiences you all have to share would be appreciated!
I’ve been wondering this as well. The black lace mules are so beautiful! Does the lace rip apart when scuffed?
It's fine. The shoes will stretch a little and your foot will settle further forward.
They are fine... that is how it's suppose to look... a half size smaller will have you have 'meat on the street'. That's when your sandals are too small and the back of your feet are hanging over. a half size bigger and they will flop and too much of the back of the shoe will be showing. Keep walking in them, the leather will stretch and mold better to your feet. I have several pair and thought the same, but the SA at Gucci assured me that it's right and I'll be just fine... and so will you.

@jimmie staton is right; they are perfect for you. Half a size bigger will be too wide for your foot and the leather will adjust anyway. Keep them this way.
Thejewelryblonde is spot on with this assessment. Everyone should listen to Thejewelryblonde and learn

My first Princetown with fur!
For reference I use a 36 for Brixton, Jordaan and Gucci sneakers. These Princetown with fur are a 37. My feet end just at the edge but with a bigger size my feet would look like boats.

Hi! Anyone with extremely narrow feet wear the Princetown? I just bought my first pair and I’m scared to wear them. On carpeted floor my feet are sliding back, out of the shoe. I have gaps either side of my feet. They are not a snug fit at all. Also I sized half a size down due to my narrow feet and when I push my foot right to the end they look a perfect fit flush with the end, but as I walk around my feet move back and start coming off the back. Any advice?! TIA!
In Gucci, there are two sizes... the size of the shoe that is marked on the bottom of the shoe and the Gucci size. For example... I wear a size 10 (42 EU) but in Gucci shoes, I have to buy a size 8... sometimes a 7.5 and the shoes are marked on the bottom of the shoe and on the box as size 8 or 7.5 even though a size 10 equals size 42. It is always best to try on in store to know what truly works for you... the SA will assist you. I hope this helps.

Can anyone comment on the wear and tear/fragility as well as the comfort of the velvet princetown mules (without the fur)?
I’m contemplating the blue GG velvet princetowns or the classic black leather princetowns. I love them both!
Which would you guys choose?
The only other pair of loafers I have are the jordaans in red leather. And I do live in a rainy city so I realize the princetowns aren’t super practical but I just love the look and ease of slipping them on.
Thanks for any insight anyone has!

I don’t own princetowns in velvet but find velvet is more fragile in general. I sold my Chloe Susanna in velvet because it was fragile. I would definitely go with the leather in terms of wear.
