What a photograph does not decide

Compare colour in more than one view. Screens and lighting affect perception, so ask for photographs of the specific pair if a subtle colour detail matters. The pictures do not establish a current price, fit or stock count.

A simple choice exercise

  1. Open the four views of pink and black.
  2. Decide whether the all-pink design or the contrast of black and pink suits the look you want.
  3. Record the colour choice and your labelled size.
  4. Request the exact pair, fit details and a complete delivered price.
Four views. Four different questions.
Four views. Four different questions.
  1. SIDE: Read the silhouette and colour balance.
  2. ANGLE: See the relationship between upper and sole.
  3. UNDERSIDE: Inspect the Amsterdam map and crosses.
  4. HEEL: Look at the motif, shape and colour detail.
