Take 15: Grey shoes

Oh my gosh, you guys, you seriously need to buy a pair of grey shoes. I know I wrote a lot about grey bags and boots a few posts ago, but seriously, you need to get a pair. 

I'll admit this right now—my very fashionable co-worker Stephanie asked me to find her a pair of grey shoes. Hence the reason for this post. I pulled a bunch, in a variety of prices, but mostly pumps or wedges, many with peep toes because, well, that's what she likes. It's also what I like. And now I really like grey shoes. I don't have a pair (yet) but I see them on girls everywhere this season and they're awesome! Metallic silver is stellar too...but my fav are the grey suede. Enjoy my examples!

This Nuncio style from Nine West ($60) is very classic, and would be easy to walk in because of the small heel. And as Stacey and Clinton always say, a pointy heel lengthens the leg!

I love these metallic, futuristic-looking peep toe pumps from Nine West ($78).

I know it's hard to believe, but these are Easy Spirits! I think they look clean, sleek and so now because of the suede. And the wedge is a perfect height ($84).

These are very sweet, very manageable shoes because the heel is low, but the button is a fun touch. Me Too, $88.

These wedges are very similar to the Easy Spirits above...but they're not suede. DKNYC, $129.

OK. I'm not completely sold on these, but I think I'd have to see them on someone. They're by Carlos, a great brand, but it's possible the trim could look at bit kitschy. It couldn't hurt to try them on though! ($109)

I adore these metallic wedges but, as with most shoes at Aldo, the height is a little much for me. Nevertheless, the shine on these is hot! ($70)

And, finally, these Nine West pumps ($89) are my second fav to the Easy Spirit wedges. They're classic, look comfortable, and would look fabulous with black opaque or colored tights. Rock 'em!

Just in case Santa is reading this, I really really love the Me Too shoes with the buttons.

I said it in person but forgot to comment: Great job! Thanks for all the research! Now, how's about some metallic boots? Subtle metallic boots.

Hey! I bought some grey Vince Camutos as a side bonus during my loooong search for nude pumps. They're lovely and comfortable with a cute round toe. They run a little big.
