Dh has very generously offered to buy me a new pair of Louis Vuitton sandals for the summer, I am stuck between these uk.louisvuitton.com/eng-gb/products/bom-dia-flat-comfort-mules-nvprod4940046v/1ACHYI

And these uk.louisvuitton.com/eng-gb/products/bom-dia-flat-comfort-mules-nvprod4330228v/1ABVNF

I already have a pair in this style in the classic brown colour and they're are unbelievably comfortable, Stuck between the two, help! X

No way would I pay that kind of money for those. Not even if it’s someone else’s money.
Take a look at Fit flops. They have almost exactly the same style for 10% of that price and they are extremely comfortable.

Leaving the money aside with some difficulty.

I personally would go for the black because I like the subtler embossed logo over the more in-your-face effect of the white ones. But that's my personal taste - which is meaningless when it comes to your choice.

Donutbed · 08/06/2024 23:23

Black are less gauche. Personally I wouldn't choose anything with a logo on like that. Do they do others without the logo?

I was Leaning towards black also I think they are the winners

greengreyblue · 08/06/2024 23:30

I was expecting something amazing but honestly they do not look good. Price aside.

TenThousandSpoons · 08/06/2024 23:32

I’d get both!

KnickerlessParsons · 08/06/2024 23:51

The white ones look like knock offs you'd buy down the market (are they? 🤔)

masomenos · 08/06/2024 23:54

Neither. You’d get awful tan marks. And they’re also extremely ugly, because they look orthopedic and have garish branding. They’re also stupidly priced. Sorry, but you did ask.

Summertimer · 09/06/2024 00:10

Emperor’s new clothes. Cheap looking despite the price tag

fiddlesticksohyeah · 09/06/2024 00:14

The prominent logos are vulgar tbh

entiredayfighting · 09/06/2024 00:16

Sorry but I think they look ugly.

GordonBlue · 09/06/2024 00:17

I'd go for the white ones. Chunky black sandals aren't all that versatile imo - whatever you wear them with, all you can see is Massive Sandal.

GargoylesofBeelzebub · 09/06/2024 00:17

Both are hideous.

Notthatcatagain · 09/06/2024 00:19

Logos are pretty chivvy, no matter who's name is on it. Unless you are being paid for the advert of course. Take a look at Fit Flops, much nicer

Nopet · 09/06/2024 00:19

Cannot comprehend that anyone ,despite their income or husbands would spend £800 on sandals!

Allthislovelygreen · 09/06/2024 00:30

Definitely the white. What's the point of buying LV for £800 if people can't tell?

If you get the black ones as other pp's said, get them for £20.

HellonHeels · 09/06/2024 00:43

That's not £800 worth of footwear IMO

AppleDumplingWithCustard · 09/06/2024 00:46

Ridiculous price for fugly sandals.

Floralnomad · 09/06/2024 00:50

If I had to have a pair it would have to be the black ones as the logo is less in your face . I’d rather have a pair of Birkenstocks

yumyumyumy · 09/06/2024 00:52

They look like cheap knock offs. Over £800! Insanity.

IHaveNeverLivedintheCastle · 09/06/2024 02:20

Neither, but if I had to pick one pair, the black ones because the logos are less obvious.

CurlsnSunshinetime4tea · 09/06/2024 02:28

if you are going to pay that price go for the white, a bit more "dressy" than the black.

jackandy · 09/06/2024 02:30

Both hideous. Wouldn't pay £8 for them, let alone £800. Ridiculous.

Oh I can understand spending that amount of money- just not on Louis Vuitton.

I suppose it's all subjective but these Hermès sandals, to my eyes are far , far nicer. The Oran and other styles have the Hermès "H" shape. The difference is if you recognise the "H" shape you know they are Hèrmes and if you don't, they're just a stylish pair of sandals.

And this is exactly why I don’t like either of them. Far too blingy. If I had to choose, I would go for black as they are (slightly) less subtle. But if you want everyone to know that you have a pair of LV sandals - go for the cream!
