Hi Stilly you look amazing in the Merci Allens. How are they wear compared to the Hot Chicks, especially if for all day or night. I assume they are as high?

I couldn't agree more. There is a price to pay for wearing heels as my feet will show but I still think its still worth it...
Thanks bluewinds!!!
Thanks so much john! Yes these Merci Allens are 130mm heels the same as my Hot Chicks. Yes the Merci Allens are a bit more comfy than the Hot Chicks. The round toe provides a bit more toe room and the shaped heel is a little easier to walk in.
From Friday, I guess we'll call this a semi-casual Friday look...downplaying a lace dress with a denim jacket and Ballerina Pink So Kates...
Hi Stilly, when you have time it would be great to see a photo showing the HC & MA heels back to back. Plus one from above showing the toe boxes. Thanks John.
Still kicking myself for not springing for a Merci Allen 130, the Louboutin Atlanta boutique send me these comparison pics. I felt that I would be doing the Hot Chick 130 (not the Merci Allen 130), so I held back. Big mistake!
I can't agree with you Racq. To me the round toe looks little girlish - reminds me of the flat maryjanes little girls wear in grade school whereas a sharp pointed toe looks sexy/sophisticated/confident all at the same time. Hot Chicks are my everyday heels and I still get non-stop compliments and comments after all this time. I just wish Mr Louboutin would do more sky high points. I'm sure there are plenty of us girls who still love them. I see examples all the time on the net.
I couldn't agree more Stilly. A bit of discomfort is such a small price to pay for the self confidence and power I feel atop a 130mm spike!
Scheduled Maintenance? What a perfect description of the tweaks we high heel girls need on our feet from time to time. Do you have any special routines/suggestions to fight the damage my dear ?
Thanks aporl!!!
Just the shoes or me wearing them at the same time? I think I did that a few years ago...
These are great pics racq!
You can still find some Hot Chick 130's on eBay and the consignment sites but the Merci Allen 130s are almost never listed.
I'm not sure they made that many pairs of the Merci Allen 130's.
I guess I should book some "scheduled maintenance". Its long overdue...
I like them both but the Hot Chicks are certainly more sexy and a bit more my style. The "little girl" look of the round toe contrasted with the super high heel makes the Merci Allens interesting.
I also hope they start releasing some 130mm shoes in the next season or two...but I'm not too optimistic given the current trends toward low heels/flats. Fingers crossed...
What a great set of photos Racquel. Thank you for them. You can really see both the similarities and the differences. I'm surprised that the MA heels is exactly same height as was expecting it to be a few mm lower. I'm wonder if in practice it's possible to wear a slightly smaller size in the MA as there is more toe room. Hopefully you will find a a pair of MA to buy.

I was thinking just the shoes, as it would be interesting to see an up-to-date photo, after several years of wear. Few ladies wear HC & MA as often as you do or are as dedicatedJust the shoes or me wearing them at the same time? I think I did that a few years ago...
. Would also be great to see a photo of you wearing one HC and one MA if not to difficult to do. Especially seeing the toe cleavage
I’m a big fan of the skin exfoliating gel socks. They’re a bit messy if you use them at home, but very effective at keeping your feet nice and soft.
Hi Stilly,
I haven’t visited here for sometime, but it’s great to see the Merci Allen’s on you. Still my favourite shoe to see you in.
