Default blue Manolo Blahnik shoes - not SATC shoes
I am desperately looking for a pair of blue Manolo Blahnik shoes - not the ones from Sex and the City. I saw them at Neimans a few months back and have not seen them again. They are more of a sandal than a pump and they have one thick strap over the toes - the strap almost looks like delicately placed leaves or feathers (but NOT actual feathers) with a 3 or 4 inch heel.

I am hoping and praying I can find these shoes for my wedding...if anyone could help I would be so so so grateful

I don't understand why you are calling this "spam". She is simply describing a shoe and asking somebody to help identify and/or locate it. People do it all the time here.

^ She wasn't referring to the OP, the post she was calling spam has been removed.

OP, are you talking about these shoes?

Thanks all, but they're not the Catalina shoe with the feathers over the toes. The shoe doesn't have any added accessories to it....
It came in either navy blue or a steel gray/silver and they were gorgeous (but I can't find them )
They do look very similiar to the Catalina in the way the shoe is cut and the strap over the toe, but the stap has more of a look of 3 or 4 leaves placed over the top.

Thanks for all the help, hoepfully I'm getting closer to my glass slipper.

my feelings are deeply hurt. I wasn't telling the OP she was spamming. There was a SPAM post that has been removed. I wish the MOD would have edited my post as well to not make me look like an A$$

I recently saw the Catalina shoe at Neiman Marcus Last Call in Ft. Laud.,Fl. It's Sawgrass Mills in Sunrise. I don't remember the color of the feathers, but you could check on neimanmarcus.com and click on last call. Good Luck

Do they have two long laces that you can wrap around your ankles and up your legs to tie? I think I might know what you are talking about; I've seen them in silver/gray or gold.
