A cool new neutral just hit the Tieks Boutiek and I've got a closer look at Cool Grey Tieks for you. See how light meets dark in this new hue and how I'm styling these light grey Tieks.
As you may already know, I'm a firm believer that you can't have too many Tieks. I expressed my love for these designer flats in my Tieks review and I think it's pretty apparent in my post showcasing my Tieks shoes that I'm a fan of the brand. I usually always get the new releases and lately they've been mostly patents and prints. While I do love my patents and prints, I adore my classics. The soft leather of the classics is so supple and buttery soft and I love that you can easily polish them if they get a little scuffed over time. (UPDATE: The polish for Cool Grey is a mixture of ⅔ Tarrago 19 and ⅓ Tarrago 14.) When I saw that a new neutral classic was coming to the Tieks Boutiek and saw the leather swatch in the Tieks Anonymous Facebook group, I knew this cool new neutral would be the perfect addition to my closet.
As you may have seen or heard, Feather Grey Tieks have been retired from the Tieks website and Cool Grey Tieks have been added in their place. I never bought Feather Grey because it appeared they had more of a warm, brown undertone. Since I already owned Taupe, I didn't think I needed Feather Grey. Cool Grey, on the other hand, looked right up my alley.
Cool Grey Tieks ballet flats
Cool Grey Tieks are the perfect shade of grey for me. Not too light and not too dark, with subtle undertones of cool blue. They also coordinate perfectly with Tieks' signature shade of blue.
They describe these ballet flats as the perfect grey for all seasons and I think they're absolutely right. They will transition easily from spring and summer to fall and winter.
These full grain leather flats are so incredibly soft. Like all of my other Tieks (besides my Sunset Stripe; you can read more about my experience with vegan Tieks), my Cool Grey Tieks are a size 9 and fit perfectly.
So, what will I be wearing with my new flats? I think these will be easily dressed up or down. Here are a few looks to show you a few casual outfits, something business appropriate, and even a cocktail dress.

Great review. I'm still on the fence about getting a pair of the cool grey, but you have made me give them deeper consideration.

Ok, I have to ask...what in the world do you do with so many Tieks?. 🙂 Even at one pair a day and no other shoes in your closet, you won’t even wear each pair once a month! I ask because I already find myself with a dilemma.there are so many colors I like yet I’m having a hard time justifying spending that much for shoes I won’t wear often.
Of course, I thought the price was crazy, but I have bought 6 pair in less than 4 months incl 2 snakes and a tortoise Im thinking of returning the tortoise for Arabian nights or Aquarella though. I’m also trying to decide between two snake patterns, and I think I’m keeping both the lilac and cool grey (I was planning on sending one bacK).
I love the tortoise but the edge of the patent leather (stitching) is irritating.
I’m a little sorry I found your site..it is costing me a fortune! Great reviews, though!,
