Hi all!

I’m new to this forum as I’ve been researching CLs and I’m looking to buy my first pair! Sadly, the closest store that sells CL is 5+ hours away so I’ll have to order online. I think I’ve narrowed it down to nude patent for the color, 100mm for the heel height. I’m thinking Iriza? Pigalle Follies?

I would mostly wear them for nights out or more dressy events, they wouldn’t be appropriate for my work.

Any suggestions would be helpful!
 
Haha you’re in luck! I happen to have the patent nude iriza 100mm in a size 37!

I really love them! :tup:And I get a lot of compliments whenever I wear them. :biggrin:I enjoy that is not fully wrapped around the foot. I think it helps with the comfort level.

The stilleto is a lot thinner than some of my other heels, so that’s something to keep in mind while walking. It may feel a tad bit unstable if you’re not used to wearing heels often. Also, it may be easier to get stuck in a crack if you’re not careful. But it also gives a sexy touch.;)

Because it’s not a fully enclosed pump, I had to go down half a size. (I’m usually a 7.5 or 37.5 in Nike sneakers, Jimmy Choos heels, Giorgio Armani’s heels, and YSL heels. An Italian 33 in Golden Goose. And 38 in Hermes sneakers.) But I also have narrow feet. Patent leather is durable but the least likely to stretch out over time.

Here’s a couple of photos of mine. (The heel protector is peeling because I stuck an old one on, so it’s not as adhesive as it should be, but it gets the job done and I will replace it with a better one.)

I love my Irizas as well. I have the black patent version and they are stunning. About the heel: it is thin and much thinner than my other CLs. And it did take me some time to begin to feel comfortable walking in them. That said, I think the Iriza is a great choice! I’ve attached a pic to show the slenderness of the heel. Good luck!
