Which Ash high tops to get?

I'm torn between these metallic ones and clay and maybe even camel.

Plan is to wear mostly with skinny trousers to see me through the Spring as I'm refusing to continue in boots into May but my feet have been permanently frozen in ballet pumps for the last couple of weeks. I'm then going to New York in October and assuming I haven't transferred my fickle affections think I would dig them back out and they would be ideal for lots of walking.

I'm generally quite staid and wear black, neutral tan type and dark blue jeans but have just acquired jeans in bottle green and cobalt blue. I do like a metallic bag but I'm not sure if I'd get bored with metallic shoes more quickly. Camel would be good in autumn, not sure about the camel ones if worn with black jeans though. Would it be too much? Clay perfect for Summer but too pale for my typical jeans/autumn?

If it makes any difference I haven't been able to bring myself to transfer my belongings out of my black alexa yet so might need them to look good with a black bag. I also definitely want flats as I'm 5 foot 10 and don't do heels.

Please help me to make a decision!

The first ones

Personally not the camel, just don't like 'em. Love both the others but think the metallic will be more versatile.

Love the clay, that's what I would get.

Like the clay or metallic, don't like camel.

I have my finger poised over the clay in the low wedge - Unlike you, I'm 5ft nothing so do need the extra height!! I think the black is a bit too heavy for summer iyswim. I hope the clay will look ok with my dark skinny jeans and also my jade coloured ones. May even give them a go with my blue denim mini and navy opaques??

I have the metallic ones and have worn them loads with jeans and leggings. A very good buy. I do like the clay ones but would worry they would mark easily. Not keen on the camel.

I bought a pair of the metallic ones last spring and wore them all spring/summer.

Metallic go with everything and metallics are "in" this season if that makes a difference. I love mine.

pinktortoise · 30/04/2012 13:33

Clay looks good and will go with everything also not too dark for summer..should we have one. Def not camel!

I can't find the metallic ones in stock anywhere....

Lottapianos · 30/04/2012 13:38

Ooh the metallic ones are gorgeous! The price though, the price.....

I bought a pair of ash high tops from secret sales this morning for £28.95. I took the last pair of size 5s, but there are some size 7s left in my style, and a few different styles too.

pocketandsweet · 30/04/2012 14:07

I know the price makes me feel nauseous but I pretty much wear my Converse for 3/4 of the year so I would have to justify on a "price-per-wear basis"... Thanks chaos I need a 6 though

monkeysmama · 30/04/2012 16:16

Remember to size down with Ash shoes/boots as they come up large.

mysteryfairy · 30/04/2012 21:35

metallic are in stock on my wardrobe unless you need size 7
