Tory Burch Flats: Final Post and Keepers

This is my final "Reva" post with a ton of pics of the other colors I ordered.  If you look back at previous posts, you'll see wear I also reviewed the Rose Gold Mirror Metallic Revas and the Distressed Python Revas.  I went into this 'picking' process wanting the gold on gold Reva, but see below:


Bronze w/ Bronze Leather Medallion



Bronze w/ Bronze Leather Medallion - Love the color of these ... a nice alternative to the super yellow metallic gold.

Bronze w/ Bronze Leather Medallion - The leather of these actually seems more comfortable than other Reva's ... bonus!  These I am keeping!



Gold w/ Gold


Gold w/ Gold - I don't always love the color, but I keep looking at the pics of these and loving them.  I returned these, but will probably get them again in the fall to keep.

Gold w/ Gold  &  Bronze w/ Leather Medallion color comparison


Gold w/ Gold & Distressed Python w/ Gold color comparison


Gold w/ Gold & Gold w/ Resin Medallion color comparison - I actually preferred the color of the gold leather on the resin version, but I didn't really like the resin medallion as I just kept getting the " I have something on the top of my foot" feeling, which was annoying.

Bottom Line:  I ended up keeping the bronze color and the distressed python in a size 7.5.  I seem to kind of be between sizes in the gold on gold color (between 7.5 and 8), but in the other Reva's, a 7.5 is definitely the right size.  I supposed you could say that's TTS to a little small, but it's hard to say since I wear anything from a 6.5 to an 8 depending on the brand.

Tory Burch Metallic Reva - Rose Gold

I am on a mission to find one (pooooosssssibblly 2) pairs of Reva flats, as flats seem to be the only thing feeling good for me lately!  I have 3 to choose from (that I'll be posting pics of in the next couple of days) but I decided to start with the one that is definitely going back!

Metallic Reva Ballet Flats in Rose Gold - $198





Where to start?  First, the color of these puppies is not well represented in the Sak's picture or on my feet.  It should be called "New Copper Penny".  Holy crap!   They are almost orange!  I about died when I opened the box!  The sales lady in the shoe department who processed the return for me looked shocked when she opened the box, too!  haha!

Now, I wouldn't mind having a shiny gold color, but this was NOT it!  Also, I am generally a size 7, rarely a 6.5 or 7.5, but I ordered a 7.5 in these based on the Saks.com website recommendation.  I would definitely have needed to try an 8 in these to even make them work.  My toe was super-jammed up against the front on the shoe.... so buyer beware on these, size up again from your regular TB size!!

What DID I like about these?  I do like shoes that stand out... and these certainly would!  Also, I like the idea of the leather medallion instead of the metal one.... it might be lighter and more comfortable.

Bottom Line:  Ugly color, classic style.  Not the most comfy leather either, combined with the fact that it runs very small!  Returned

FYI:  Word on the street is that Sak's Friends and Family Sale starts next week... keep an eye out for that.  As with most F&F sales, it's probably a good time to get discounts on rarely discounted brands!
