I LOOOVE lapono's!!! they ae one of my fav's but unfortunatley i couldnt find any that fit comfortably, they run SMALL, i usually can fit a 41 tightly, a 41.5 comfortable and 42 is a litle too big, but I couldnt even get my foot into the 41, it was embarressing
wow those magenta Laponos look like very different colors in those two photos.
In the end you are right getting something more versatile like black that works with your wardrobe is a better choice but it doesnt hurt to add some color once in a while especially if you have already outfits that work with them or if you already have black boots.
The laponos typically 1 full size small but are more comfortable than some of the other CL booties out there.
I have the black ones and I love them. They aren't super comfortable for walking for long periods, but they aren't too bad. I have pads in mine to make them a little more comfy.
If you search through the CL outfit thread I know I've posted some with Laponos.
I do have a couple of other pairs of black ankle boots. Sadly, the magenta is nowhere to be found in my size, same goes for the electric blue. After seeing Zophie's pics, I think I've settled for the black patent, supposing that I can find a pair my size. I thought maybe the leather ones would be more comfortable than the patent, but the patent is more striking, IMO.
I found the pics, thanks! What kind of pads do you have in them? The gel kind that goes under the ball of the foot?
I decided against getting the satin Decollettes that I debated earlier (I think... ) so I just ordered a pair of black suede Rolandos. They'll go great with whatever dress I chose to wear to the wedding I'm attending this summer (unless someone tells me that there's a rule against black shoes/accessories at weddings too, then I'll have no choice but the get the Decollettes )
