shoe help!- Luxe/Peau de Soie or satin??

Stupid question??
Im ordering shoes right now and im confused. Should I order White Luxe (Peau de Soie) or white Satin?? Looking them both up, either sounds okay so Im not sure.

Peau de Soie- is a cottony-based material that works extremely well with crepe or silk bridal, prom and wedding dresses. It will not dye well to dark colors but light colors dye great. Peau de soie is the material least affected by the ultra violet light.
Luxe- is by far the most popular and best selling material as it complements most of the bridal, wedding and prom dresses available today. Luxe replaced the previous industry standard of peau de soie (a cottony textured fabric). Luxe dyes much truer than peau on dark colors, and will look beautiful with any crepe or soft textured dress. Luxe represents a cross texture between peau de soie and satin.

OR

Satin- is a high gloss material that matches perfectly with bridal gowns that have satin bottoms. Satin dyes especially well to deep color tones such as navy, brown, and burgundy. Satin is a good choice for matching velvet dresses which are normally quite deep in color and tone. Satin material experiences the greatest color variance between outdoor (natural) and indoor lighting due to the reflectivity of the material. Even un-dyed satin will take on a pinkish hue outside.

yea probably the satin! but remeber- it is hard to dye satin a light color... [the shoe store definatly fcked mine up a little] so if you want to dye it. go with the other one!
