Hey everyone, I need the help of all you amazing Aquazzura experts please. Especially anyone who has bought or seen the forever Marilyn pumps.
I was in a lurch for a wedding and bought these Aquazzura Forever Marilyn 105 pumps in poppy red on ebay in a size 36.5 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Womens-Aqua...var=541332333369&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Looking at the shoes now though, I can't shake the feeling though that they feel off. They look similar to the pictures but the construction seems shoddier than a luxury shoe, I attached closeups of the side of the heels where I feel like I can see the stitching/glue. And the stamped/engraved made in italy/aquazurra underneath the pineapple seems a bit off as well. The suede also seems much less luxurious than the suede on my other shoes that I know are authentic for sure. I don't know if this is because they are real but just faded or because they are fake and faux suede. Another thing I noticed is that the shoes feel lighter than I would expect. My jimmy choos have some heft as do all my more expensive shoes. Not sure if this is consistent with the brand though.
I feel even more worried after seeing this link for fakes that look virtually identical to my shoes.

I messaged the ebay seller beforehand and they said all their shoes were guaranteed authentic but I'm not as familiar with this brand so I'm unsure.
Please let me know if I'm being paranoid. I'd love nothing more than to be wrong. Thank you in advance!

new to aquazzura here -

im looking at a pair of lace up flats - not sure the name of the style but wanted to know if aquazzura usually runs true to size? and if their flats are pretty comfortable? i tried them on in store a while ago and i think i remember them being a tiny bit tight and i didnt think i needed to go up a size. this would stretch right?

thanks!

The flats are sized about the same as Valentino flats for me. I take a 38.5 in both though I'm a 38 for Gucci and Miu Miu.

What if I take a 39 in both YSL and Charlotte Olympia but a 39.5 in Pierre Hardy and Jimmy Choo. Would you suggest I get a 39 or 39.5?

It sounds like you could go either way, and the laces give flexibility for a looser fit in the 39.5. Also, if your feet are on the wider side then definitely the 39.5.

Are you able to order from a place with free shipping and returns?

No. That's what's usually sucky about not living in the USA. By time you return and deal with duty and customs and shipping it's not worth returning.

My feet are on the narrow side though. I'll have to try them on next time I'm in NYC I guess.

Bought these Aquazzura Wild Thing 85mm at the Bloomingdale's outlet for $125. Really want them in Cognac and the 105mm heel. May sell these or return, still debating........The price was too good to pass up.

Contemplating a pair of the Sexy Things, how do you ladies like them? comfortable? and how did you go for sizing? I love my Wild Things in the higher heel, but after two wears, the red suede isnt looking too flash :(

I adore them, and already got another pair. My feet feel so pampered surrounded by all the suede, and not one blister in sight. Aquazzura designs for comfort and I've been in these for entire night without any problems.

They fit tts for me. I do spray suede protestant first to prolong the life.

Love how I can throw these on with jeans and be chic and comfy at same time.

I love those brown ones! Was eyeing them too but think I'll stick to nude or black for my first pair. So you're happy with the suede quality?
Yeah I tried them on yesterday and they are soooo soft, heck even the Wild Thing is comfy!

Brown ones were on sale so I grabbed them since I love the embroidery and color.

I'm happy with the quality. more than other designer shoes, and they're more reasonably priced too.

I don't have wild thing, but I do have their lace up Amazon heels. Did you see their collab with Claudia?

Sorry to ask so many questions guys! im usually a 37.5 in most shoes (saint laurent tributes, CL So Kate, Aquazzura WIld thing..), but as i have a high arch i had to go to size 38 in the Sexy Thing, this is the same for me in the Valentino Rockstuds...im now wondering what size to go for in the Amazon sandal (leather not suede)?? 37.5 or 38?

any help would be appreciated!
