Today for Shoes-day, I have the Collins Tortoise Loafer.
During the “buy more/save more” promo I felt these looked nice enough to order and try on at home. They are a beautiful darker patent tortoise color than some other styles I’ve seen. They fit me true-to-size in my normal size 7.
I didn’t feel they fit tight anywhere, especially at the widest part of my foot. The toe is really pointy, maybe even more exaggerated than some might like.
I had been trying to think of a good reason to keep the Collins Tortoise Loafers because I really really liked them. I walked around for a few minutes once more on carpet and found they started stretching or widening on the sides. And this is only when I stood. When I walked they were more pronounced and felt a bit uncomfortable. That was a deal-breaker for me and I ended up returning them.
I really like the Colette Tortoise Pumps, but I don’t think I’d wear them very often. I’ve added them to my wishlist in case I can get them on sale.
What do you think of the Collins Tortoise Loafer? Have you tried any of the other Collins Loafers?
I think I like a lighter tortoise, overall. Those shoes are (stylish) *you* and I like the Colettes.
