the new python acid wash decolette...do they run differently too?

I'm a 36.5 in the regular decolette..but 36 in everything else..should I get a 36 for this new one as well?

Oh my...I'm wanting a pair of black patent VP in sz 34.5 (I'm regular US 5) and I sized 1/2 size down for past seasons' VP's, should I go down to 34 now, or 33.5 (If they even make it in that size?);

And I agree, purchasing from eBay would be disastrous, as you would need to know if they are current or past seasons! Yikes!

I got a crazy question: Do I have the old VPs or the new ones? I got them this year from Foot Candy (and they are still there).

Thank you!

Too bad I don't even know what my CL true size is anymore lol. I'm a US 8 to 8.5...

Another one: How's the Piros running? TTS like Saks says? Are people getting VP size in these? If so, old or new VP?

Has anyone tried the Alta Iowa?

oh dear im getting different feedback about the biancas.

julies*shoes went down a full size for the biancas and jancedtif went up half a size??

dreachick2384 - im 35.5 in old VPs (lace), simples, miss bunny, eventas mary janes, declic, ron rons and should have gone down to 35 in the new VPs (nude patent). should i go the 35 in the biancas?? or should i stick to 35.5?

dreachick2384 · Jul 22nd, 2009, 11:10 AM

^^I'd get the 35.

evanescent · Jul 22nd, 2009, 11:46 AM

thanks dreachick2384!

dreachick2384 · Jul 22nd, 2009, 01:53 PM

What color are you getting?^^

Evenstar · Jul 24th, 2009, 08:10 AM

well, I just received the metallic rouge 100mm simples and they are a little loose on me. I bought it in the 38.5 (same as the Wallis, 70mm simples, ron rons, old VPs) and there's a bit of a heel gap and it's not as narrow as my other pair. It's not unwearable (I'm being very picky) so I'm hoping that a heel grip and maybe some insoles would do the trick. But I think the 38 would've been better. I'd exchange them if I could but being in Australia, it's too much hassle returning them.

I recommend anyone contemplating buying the simples from 2009 onwards should go by their true size and not go half a size up.

I have - TTS 37 was wearable, just a tad loose lengthwise so I went down half a size to 36.5 as I like my CLs snug to allow for stretch

japskivt · Jul 27th, 2009, 10:58 AM

The new VP has a thicker platform and is cut lower on the sides and smaller on the vamp.

Chaneller · Jul 27th, 2009, 11:04 AM

So basically, CL changed their Italian sizing to French sizing now?

i have no idea!!! im in australia with a really pathetic CL stockist so it's really hard for me to decide

im thinking of either black patent, rouge patent or oxblood patent.. plus they photograph differently in different light, so it's hard to tell what their true colours are like! what would you recommend?

oh also, i posted this in the new CLs thread but should have posted here instead.

i just received my black patent ron rons from the st honore paris boutique, and i love it. however, is it just me or are the current season ron rons cut a touch bigger than previous seasons?? im not sure if i should've gone down half a size cos the length seems ok, but my feet seems to be slipping out of them just a touch. also not sure if it's because the shoes are "stretched" by the sticks (sorry dont know what else to call them) that are placed inside them.

can anyone who has tried on the new season ron rons give me some feedback please? thanks very much!
