Shoe challenge #36: In mint condition

Skirt and tights (New Look), fuchsia top (street
market in Bangkok), ballerina wrap top (WE)
and shoes (Primark, through eBay)

I love looking at these shoes. They're just the prettiest shade of cool mint green, in a lovely suedette (that gets dirty so easily, obviously), and have a gorgeous shape to them. They are the kind of shoes that I generally always fall for: a classic court shape, but with a colour that gives them that little bit of extra oomph.
I don't like wearing them though. First of all, I'm obsessed with keeping them pristine. Second, they are just not comfortable. They turned out a size too big (about sizing issues in shoes, read here), but too narrow in width. Adds up to: uncomfy. It put some insoles in, but they still slip of my feet as soon as I try to pick up some speed and they pinch the side of my left foot. Grrrrrr!!

Still, they are too pretty to give them up and clueless and naive as I sometimes am, I keep hoping they'll magically have become easier to wear next time I put them on. No such luck though. I wore them with my shoes and bags skirt, that I bought from this lovely shoe lover, and thus added minty green and bright pink to an otherwise black outfit.
And now onto the real start of the shoeper challenge: Monday (Valentine's day). I know exactly which shoes (and which outfit) I'm going to wear. And you?
