I'm eyeing my first pair of platform Tributes and am torn between black patent and dark grey soft leather - both on sale for $699, which looks to be a decent price. Patent is dressy, but maybe 5.5" shiny black is too dressy for the average night out and pretty ruled out for any daytime use. So the grey is more versatile, but then I'd be stuck with outfits that call for a plain black heel.

I know I'm going to be buying multiples of this shoe - so do I just wait for a soft black leather and go for patent in nude?

Oh lord. Overanalysis paralysis.

I LOVE the black patents and don't think they are over dressy at all! They are absolutely sexy! I think the gray are kind of flat and boring to be quite honest with you.

OK. I was leaning towards them just not working too many times to be worth it. So - (yes, I'm not done overanalyzing) if you had black patent vs. black leather, what would you pull out more often?

Oh that's a tough one. Probably the plain black leather tbh. I guess that justifies having them in both patent and black leather :p. I do already have a pair of black leather pumps but want the patent too, so maybe I am no help. But if I didn't own either pair and the patent ones were on sale and the plain black weren't, i would get the patent first and get the plain black leather at a later date.

Well I wiffle-waffled for a few hours and finally placed the order for the black patents. Because you're right. I'd want them eventually, might as well do it now.

I haven't even received my order confirmation email yet and I'm already wanting nude, cobalt blue, and truffle.

Yay congrats!! I'm glad you got them! Tributes are so addictive I tell you! I want them in the cobalt and nude too, but I have to be good for awhile. Hgbagsonline.com has the plain black for $595. She usually gets in a lot of stock for tributes and if you sign up for emails you will be notified of coupon codes and sales. That's who I buy all my tributes from if you didn't know about that site already :graucho:

Great choice!!! Black patent is gorgeous! I don't think they're too dressy at all. The patent just makes it that extra bit more special. I sense an addiction growing :p

I've heard of the site a few times but always in the sketchy sense - like questionable authentication? Then again, I don't know anyone who's ordered from them and if you're happy then it's legit and total hidden gem?! Because $595 is an amazing steal for the basic ones!
