Sorry, I know this is an old post. I’ve just bought this shoes and not received them yet. I’m wondering that are they comfy for walking? Thanks!
I have only worn mine once so it hasn’t shown a lot of wear but I think putting vibram soles on right away or later is a personal choice. I’ve waited to wear some of my shoes (especially the heels) a few times before putting vibram soles on and some immediately when brand new. Pointy flats tend to wear out faster at the front and if you are a bit clumsy like me who often kick things while walking for no reason =)) then putting vibram soles on before wearing would be a good idea!
I also find the heels to be more comfy than the flats.I just got these Hangisi Flats on sale, but not sure if I should get the heeled version instead? I already own the 70mm Hangisi in blue. Weirdly, it seems like the heel is more comfortable in the toe area? Can anyone speak on the comfort level of the flats with repeated wear? I got the same size in both the heel and flat, 35. I tried sizing up half a size in the flats and it’s falling off. I’m usually an 34.5 in most designer shoes. So hard to find my size
I’ve heard that velvet doesn’t stretch. Valentino rockstuds run small (lengthwise) and louboutins run tts depending on the style in my opinion (I take all my Louboutins heels in a 39 and Valentino rockstuds in a 39.5... I’m a size US 9 in heels/boots and 9.5/10 in flats with non-designer shoes). Size also differs with heel height. I go more with my 9.5/10 size with lower mm heels compared to 100mm and higher. I’d suggest taking your usual size in manolos because I purchased a pair in my normal size and wish I would have sized down a bit to stop my heel from slipping.
Thanks for replying so quickly!
Haha yes I own a lot... so much so that I’ve purchased, sold, purchased again so many times that I’ve lost count lol... sizing can be tough especially after you buy them and they stretch to one size too big making them unwearable! I’ve learned many lessons with sizing for sure!
