I don't own this particular shoe but Manolo's heels do change as the years go by. You can easily date a shoe by the shape of the heel, I actually sold a beautiful pair of black alligator high heels because the shape of the heel was just too dated for my taste.


Well, the heel shape is the same on both pairs. It's more the angle with which the heel hits the floor, ya know what I mean? The one pair hits the floor at a 90 degree angle, while the other one is at a slightly wider angle, as if the heel has been bent out wards.

All of his shoes are hand made so there are always slight variations from pair to pair. I own many of his shoes of a same style in different colors and if you look closely can see slight variations from pair to pair.
 
Oooh which ones did you add to your collection???! :D

Three pairs of Susa with 1 1/2" heels and three pairs of Adeustraps, Carolyn's with silver and crackled gold, Zuolianda in two colors, more BB's, Orientalia's, some exotics, some not here yet, plus a whole new section of Roger Vivier's.

Love shoes. :heart:
 
I thought you ladies would be interested in seeing the difference between the flesh and nude suede bbs. I wanted nude but they were sold out in my size so I ordered flesh, having no idea what it would look like because the online photos make all the nudeish shades look the same!

Well nude 37.5 was finally restocked at Barney's and here are the results: flesh is a paler, pinker soft tone perfect for spring and the nude is a warmer tan color that is seasons was and I think (hope!) less likely to dirty.

They are quite similar, but both so pretty and just different enough that I think it's worth keeping both... Thoughts?

Both are nice but I prefer the tan color on you! they are so classic you cannot go wrong with them :p
 
OMG I'm fuming! So upset!
So I finally got my custom order BB (in 115mm patent nude size 35) which I waited for like forever because they couldn't make it in my size/height, but you can't cancel it, blah blah blah. Now they finally arrived, and what do I get?!?!? I NON-BB looking shoe AND a height of ~110??!! It actually looks like a fusion of MB's Campari + CL's new Pigalle 120 with higher cut sides. They must think I'm blind to not see the differences.
No pix yet cuz my internet is very poor at the moment, will show you ladies soon and I'm going to write a letter to BG/NM/MB in the next few days. This is unnacceptable imo - merchandise absolutely not as shown in pictures.

Oh no!!!! I'm so sorry this happened to you. Show us some pics when you get a chance. And god knows I most special order a pair last night on BG. Good luck and I would not be talked into keeping them if they are horrible.
