Hi ladies! I just got my 1st manolo from BG.com! The size is a bit big on me but I bought them anyway since it's the last pair and it's 50% off snakeskin pumps! So I put in foot petals - my heels don't slide out now, and actually since my feet are kinda wide the width fits perfect, but does it still look too big/long that it looks weird on me?

Here are my lone Manolo Blahnik kitten heels that I purchased at Barney's Warehouse sale. I'm not sure what they are called because I had to leave the box! There was just absolutely no room in my luggage to fit shoe boxes.

I think i just died....I would love a pair but high heels and I don't mix. And I don't know how I feel about spending that kind of money on flats....someday I will.

I got my first Manolos in February 09 in London. Me and a friend planned a weekend trip to London to get our first Manolos. We were so excited! We had a hard time finding the store and as we finally found it it was 3.50 pm and the store was closing 4 pm! It was a saturday. But the staff was very friendly, me and my friend tried on the same pair. She's a 38.5 I'm a 36.5. I decided that this shoe should be my very first pair and told the salesman. My friend took another pair. So we left the store totally happy and smiling! We decided to take a drink and cheer to our Manolos, so we headed off to a bar. We ordered our drink and took another look at our new shoes. But when i opened my box i thought the shoes looked really big! I turn them down to check the size...and they were a 38.5!!! The salesman gave me the pair my friend tried!!! I was devastated! We ran back to the store but it was closed! So we called the store and the headquarter but there was nobody answering because it was weekend! And i had to leave on sunday, the next day! So I said goodbye to my Manolos and left them at the front desk at my hotel.
On monday i called the store and told them what happened. Fortunately my box was the right size just the shoes were wrong! So they rushed to my hotel exchanged the shoes and sent me the right size home. On wednesday i finally had my on pair of Manolos!!!!

That's the Pica Sandal in Fabric Blue

PS. How I got the second one is a whole other story...

They are beautiful, they look slightly big but I think you can get away with it, as long as they don't slip.

Thanks!!! You know, foot petals really save lives! I put the pads in, and I have wore them a few times now and they don't slip at all. They feel snug and very comfy! I love them so much that I wanna buy more manolo watersnake shoes!!
