Hello ladies, im currently wearing a 8c varina calf leather. Should i go for 7.5 or stay as 8 for a D width?

I can take 7.5C apart from my usual 7D. However, I can't comment on Varina. I can do that with Glory slides. Oh, my Tilly 10cm peep toe is 7.5C. I would usually go for 7D but darn the seasonal shoes which doesn't come in D width.

I think you should be good with 7.5D. 8D will be too loose.

I wear only Ferragamo and TB (and Havaianas, but it's different story), and I think Ferragamo gives best bang for my bucks. I ahad hand-me-down from my mom bought in 80s, and the varas still look GOOD and current (well, except there's small difference in heel construction with current model).

Funny that you dont wear Ferragamo when it's raining. For me, patent vara is the way to go for rainy season.

Me too! I wear Ferragamos when it rains! Then again, my other alternatives are Chanel ballerinas which are lambskin.:D

i have not worn my Ferragamo's in the rain yet. Though I have both patent and regular leather VARA and Varina

I suppose I should start wear the patent ones on rainy days? What about the bow, would it get dmg/ or stained by dirty puddles :)

my varas are either with dark grosgain ribbon bow or with leather bow, so i am not too concern with the ribbon getting dirty.

i have one beige vara with beige grosgrain ribbon, and when it got dirty, i can't clean it properly :cry:

oh, i also never use varina or other flats when it rains, i find small heels keep me 'up' when i have to walk on puddles

Hi Ladies ! I just got a pair of Carla 70 in Oxford Blue. I'd like to get some advice on the level of care these babies require. I'm not planning to put on a rubber sole since they are new but do you ladies walk on roads or pavements with your leather soles? I walked on the road today and can already see a lot of marks on my leather soles. Is this the normal wear and tear or am I suppose to avoid hard surface at all times ? Thanks in advance ! :amuse:

Leather soles are going to show wear when walking outside and that's completely normal and should be expected. I have shoes that I try not to wear outside but it's inevitable that at some point, I'll walk on concrete/ pavement with them. The only way leather soles wouldn't show wear is if you walked on carpet all the time. Wear your shoes and enjoy them!

Just got my first pair of nude patent Varas a few weeks ago in a 9B, my SA told me to get them resoled immediately before wearing to prolong the life. You can always resole the rubber, but it's pretty hard to repair a leather sole.
