They are approximately $2K. For some reason LV always posts the runway shoes on the UK LV site and not the US site. You can see them all there, use a currency converter and add a couple hundred $$$. LOVE all the pictures you posted here!

gre8dane, they are 2DIE4, they look Absolutely Stunning on you!

I love the whole line of LV's Spicy Sandals, I think they don't only look exquisite, but are a work of art as well! I'll go check out the UK LV web site, thanks for the heads-up! I"m still trying to justify getting them. The Sandals are about $2200+, so we're talking about $2400+ with tax in the US! It is $$$ for a pair of shoes for me. I'm more of a handbag addict, the most I've spent on shoes are $1000. I don't know whether I can justify it...

Here's the game plan - I'm returning my Louboutin N Prive (I've been meaning to return them anyway). I'll get back $850+, that still leaves another $1600...Anyway, I'm going to the LV Boutique on Sunday. Hopefully, they have the sandals I like (Top Left & Top Right), I'll try them on and see how they look! Glad you like the pictures, I'll load some more up this weekend.

Here's a larger picture of your beautiful sandals!

i would love a pair, but when would I wear it? I had to pass

MissPR08 · Apr 18th, 2009, 08:20 AM

I think there stunning SINFUL. I hope you get them!

Sinful Indulgences · Apr 18th, 2009, 02:40 PM

jahpson, what about parties, dinners and some special occasions? My concern is, will these sandals become easily dated? They're so distinct and recognizable...But I do love them, they are truly beautiful!

MissPR08, I'm going to try them on Sunday (if they have them at the boutique I'm going to). I wish I had $$$, I would buy them in a heartbeat! With the economy the way it is, I don't know, I have to think REAL HARD, I don't know if I can justify it!

gre8dane, what handbag do you wear with your shoes? I'd love to see a picture if you have one! Many thanks!

Found some more pictures of the Spicy Sandals. WHO do you think look BEST in them?

CEC.LV4eva · Apr 18th, 2009, 05:42 PM

I do not like them at all.

I understand. Try them on first and take it from there. You don't have to buy them on the spot. Have you called the store you will be visiting to see if they have them in stock?

VB looks the best in them. I'm always in her corner

I'm also more of a handbag lover. Shoes have to really 'speak to me' and grab my attention for whatever reason and these were screaming at me. As for trends, I don't really follow them. Some items are timeless if you dress them up right. I can see myself wearing these until the patent peels! I hope you have a reveal....

I think they are beautiful but way too trendy to ever be viewed as an "investment." Once steve madden starts making knock-offs in a month, they're not going to seem as innovative and fresh. Also, the price tag is just way too much to justify. Throwing down a couple thousand dollars on things that are going to be dragged on the ground all day is a poor decision unless you have serious money to burn. They are stunning, though.

kittykittycatcat · Apr 19th, 2009, 12:49 AM

they're cool to look at but not very practical..especially at that price!

Izznit · Apr 19th, 2009, 02:38 AM

Hmm... I think VB rocked them the best.

Sinful Indulgences · Apr 19th, 2009, 05:36 AM

I think Madonna & Victoria Beckham truly rock these sandals! My fav is Madonna (VB is a very close second). I really like Madonna's whole ensemble - the clothes, shoes, handbag...the works!

Thanks, I'm going to Neiman's to return a pair of Louboutins. The LV Boutique is right next door. So I'll just mosey on over there after my return!

At this point, I just want to try them on and see how they look before making a decision. These shoes do "sing" to me though! Actually, I fell in love with them when I first saw them. But the price tag is definitely holding me back!

Yes, they are a piece of art, and a piece of art is "timeless"! Hehe, I like what you said, you'll be wearing them until the patent peels!

The sandals really look superb on you! I like the fishnet stockings with them too. Have you worn them out yet? What handbag do you wear with these shoes?

heartnaspade, these shoes are really stunning! I just wish they would go on sale or something (which they won't, LV never does)! The price is a major factor to me...
