Hi! This morning, after reading one particular CL post, I learned a few things (I'm a 'newbie' to the life of forums). One thing I didn't realize is that one reason to post pictures is to help legitimize what's being stated within your post. I hadn't bothered to show pictures in my previous postings, so I figure it's time give it a try in the hopes that I might better fit into this forum!
OK, so let's have some fun! Through a long series of events, I ended up with both the Patent Iowa (non-platform) and the Patent Iowa Zeppa (platform). I've worn the Iowa Zeppas and they cannot be returned (I'm the dummy in a previous post that wore them for 5 hours and paid a painful price for 5 days thereafter). I haven't worn the Iowas and I can still return them. Here's my question: Should I keep both pairs of shoes? My immediate answer is, 'No, Silly, they're too much alike!'. BUT, the plain Iowa is SO much more comfy, and a bit more understated then the Iowa Zeppa. Would it be a waste of money to keep both styles? What would you do? Am I indeed acting silly for wanting to possess both pairs, being that they are so similar? I have to say, after viewing the photos and noticing how alike they appear, I'm leaning towards returning them...
Note: the first image is the Iowa the second is the Iowa Zeppa!

. It's up to you 
I have never thought that people post pics of their shoes to legitimize their post. Most of us are so excited to get the shoes that we want to show them to "the CL gang". Also, it helps others see what the shoes look like IRL on a foot. It is very helpful to get feedback from the CL fans, both good and bad.
