REALLY Silly Question...

I'm just really indecisive right now.

I found a pair of shoes I really like, they're slip on's with faux fur lining; they look super comfy and I NEED them ;)

Do I get them in black or gray?

I already have a pair of gray running shoes, so I was leaning towards black, but I feel like the black one's look more like slippers. Come to think of it though, I don't think I've ever owned black shoes except flip flops and high heels.

These are the shoes: http://www.journeys.com/product.aspx?id=163025 (hope that works if you copy and paste)

Please help me make up my mind! Both black and gray go with everything, I really think I prefer the gray ones but is that silly, since I already have gray shoes? (Even if they're different types of shoes?) I rarely buy things for myself, I think that's why I'm having a hard time justifying buying another gray pair...

BLACK OR GRAY?!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

BTW, there's no way I would EVER spend $50 on shoes... my girlfriend gave me a Journey's $20 gift card, and a $5 card off her frequent buyer something or other... so I'd be paying 1/2 price ;)

I would buy both if they fit in the budget. It is so hard for me to find shoes that fit well on my 8 3/4 size foot.

I would go with the black since you already have gray if you must choose.

Either one will go with everything - especially in the fall. So get the grey - those are the ones you want!!

If you already have outfits that work with gray shoes, they these will integrate well. But perhaps you will feel more adventurous and proud of yourself if you step outside your comfort zone?? I don't think one looks more like a slipper than the other.

By the way, I live in black shoes!! Black goes with everything!! I need a push to buy more color :)

Either one. Super cute shoes. I don't think they look like slippers. I'm surprised they are skate shoes though. They remind me a little of sperry top siders with a mix of the Vans slip ons. If you want gray go with gray :)

If you like the gray go with the gray. If you get the black to be practical you may end up hating them and never wear them.

Well is it a "taupe" type gray?
If so, that can go with a lot.
Its neutral.

Me I'm not a gray shoes person.

I would say black.
But yes, like you said it may look more like slippers.
And you have never owned black shoes... except for flip flops and high heels.

The gray can go either way.

But since it is slip on's, won't either black or gray, look like house slippers???
Or do you mean, they are 'drivers' shoes slip on's? These have rubber nubs on the bottom. And can come fur lined too.
