Quick question to the pigalle experts, has anyone tried the lady Lynch, and if so how does it compare to the pigalle, is it the same? I'm looking for either a suede pair or CLs or a patent pair, and the Lynchs look interesting, but not sure if I should get another Pigalle or Lady Lynch....

I've never tried on the Lady Lynch, but they are supposed to run like the Pigalles 120s (full size down from your TTS).

im looking to buy my first pair of loubis and decided on nude pigalles! :) problem is, theres no louboutin store in my city so I'll have to order them online.
I'm typically a US5.5 when I wear heels, sometimes I fit US5(but these are quite snug on one foot, as one is larger than the other...).. whereas when I wear flat shoes such as converses, I wear US6.
Would you ladies suggest I purchase a size 34.5 or a 35?
I wear a 35.5 in most CL styles as well as most other brands (Valentino, YSL, Manolo), and I ended up with Pigalle 120 in 35 since that was the only size the store had left. The toe box was painfully snug at first (now wearable after stretching) while the length was 1/2 size too long. I could stick a finger in the gap behind my heel, but the elastic strap keeps the shoe from slipping too badly. I am waiting on a Pigalle 120 in 34.5 to see if my foot can handle the tighter toe box in exchange for better fit on the length. I think I will walk better in this height if my heel were more secure in the shoe. If you don't have a wide foot, I would definitely suggest getting the 34.5. If you are talking about the Pigalle 100, I'd go with the 35.5.

Thanks Brigitte031!

@ouija board: Do you think I could get size 35s if I purchase the Pigalle 100? I'm thinking maybe I'll break in so the shoes will be perfect...

I tried on a 35 in Pigalle 100 kidskin, and while it was wearable, it was very very snug. I could see my toes pushing against the leather, which I don't like. And when my feet swelled in the summer, I could barely get them in the 35.5. I would say try on the 35, and if they are snug but not unbearable, then you should be fine once they stretch.

Hm, the thing is, I can't try them on since there's no Louboutin/Holt Renfrew/consignment stores where I live... =/ I'm just thinking maybe it's better I buy them snug rather than loose.

Hi girls, after reading the majority of your posts and previously leading a louboutin free life, I decided to take the plunge and purchase a pair of Pigalles. When I opened the box, they were absolutely the most beautiful pair of shoes I have ever owned! However, my feet are not small and a little wide. I normally wear a size 10 fairly comfortably and, against the advice I read in here, ordered a size 10. I can BARELY squeeze my piggies into my piggies. Is this normal for them to be super tight? I have worn them only indoors while getting use to them and they do seem to be relaxing a little. I just don't want to damage them!! Help!!

Sizing question: Does US size 10 REALLY correspond to size 40? or is 40.5 closer to size 10?

I have both and they are the same exact size for me.

It really depends on the designer and with CL, the particular shoe. Regarding the Pigalle 120, I took a 41 and I am a true US size 11. I could barely squeeze my piggies in my pigalles at first and they seemed so incredibly narrow. However, I took the risk and stretched them a little with shoe stretchers, now they fit me perfectly and I'm so happy I bought the size I did. The toe box does seem really narrow at first but once they are broken in, the toe box really widens out and molds to your foot also causing your foot to slide way down in the shoe. That's why most girls size down, because with wear the shoe essentially gets bigger. Hope that helps!

Thanks!! I have been wearing my pigalles every day and today for the first time, they are tight, but not painful!!! I can't believe that they have stretched as much as they have but everyone was right!! I am soooo excited!!!! Now for my next pair???????

if you`re a 35, you`re going to need to get a 34. when i purchased my fluo, the boutiques told me the 35 was the smallest and they are so huge on me!
