For those who wear smaller sizes (34, 34.5, 35, etc)
Do you ever find shoes in your size on sale?
I have a horrible time ever finding them on sale...actually finding them at all can be challenging and then on sale is virtually impossible. It isn't even just CLs I have issues with; Choo, Manolo...all of them. :-( If you do find them on sale, where do you normally find them? Thanks! |

I agree with kaeleigh- I see a lot of smaller sizes (under 36) at the NMLC near me.

I wear a 35/35.5 and have a horrible time finding shoes. My local Nordstrom, which doesn't carry CL or many other high-end designers for that matter, used to carry lots of shoes in my size. Now, I have to special order everything. I always have to plan ahead knowing that I most likely can't go out and find a pair of shoes same-day. Lots of web sites don't carry small sizes either (Net-A-Porter, Outnet , etc. have very few).

I had a horrible time last weekend during the Saks presale. Nothing, NOTHING was in my size. It was aggravating. There were a few at Barney's but nothing I really wanted, and the pair that I got, I bought a half size up from what I would normally get.

Another option is the boutiques and department stores (like On Pedder) in Asia. They usually have better stock in the smaller size range.

Michele, since you're such a rare size, I would not wait for sales; buy what you like in your size when you can find it. I would assume this is what anyone else your size is doing. Not everyone stocks your size, and if they do, it's probably one pair in each style (if that). I know the girls have said they have seen "smaller sizes," but size 35 is not as rare as size 34. Also, you might consider the special order route. Try to develop a good relationship with SAs at the boutiques; maybe they can let you know when they have anything in size 34 in stock.

I wear 35 or 35.5 and never find anything I like on sale, either in store or online (Barneys online doesn't count due to their crappy inventory system
 - I never order from them). I just buy full price if I absolutely love the style/color or snag a pair from ebay. Ebay is probably your best bet for below retail prices - sometimes really rare finds will pop up for a great price.
