Finally found my Gianvito Rossi Plexi Pumps in Red suede!!!

I would love those too! I love the small splash of color and almost invisible shoe. The ones in a nude suede are fantastic too. :love:
But I am a bit worried that the Plexi is a fashion item rather than a classic shoe I can wear for years (at least as long as the shoe will last) at any age.

What do you ladies think of the Plexi in terms of being a classic piece that will still be ok to wear in 5-10 years?


How about sizing? I am 35.5 in So Kate, can I safely take the same size in GR Plexi or better go for 36 because the pvc material does not stretch at all? But I should add I have narrow feet and I think GR makes his shoes not as narrow (not wide either of course) as Louboutin does, so my first thought is to stick with 35.5.

Here are the photos from wearing them today. Sorry they are so backlit. I'd say these are pretty comfy, although the toe box might feel a bit nicer after a few more wears. At least the Perspex doesn't dig into weird places on my foot!

I find these to be 1000% more comfortable than any CL shoe with PVC. I tried the Galatta and Un Bout, but the cut of the PVC was so low that it dug into the sides of my feet. I couldn't even wear them around the house and ended up returning both pairs. The Rossi PVC comes up higher on the side of the foot, so it doesn't dig in.

They're gorgeous on you!! I am so in love with GR plexi pumps but am unsure how they will fit on my wide feet. I'm a 37 in CL, so I'm assuming the same for GR's but I'm wondering how you find GR's width wise? Have the plexi gotten more stretched at all?

I fit CL pigalle follies, though my feet look squished. Do you know how these 2 shoes would compare? Or even with Valentino rockstuds? I find the rockstuds SUPER comfortable and fit my wide feet perfectly!

I'm a TTS 39.5 in CL (including 100mm Pigalle - old cut) and I bought the GR plexi pumps in a 40. The plexi hasn't stretched at all, and I don't think it will. [emoji53]

I don't have the Pigalle Follies, but I do have old Pigalle and Val rock studs. IMO, the GR plexi pumps have a higher cut vamp than the old Pigalle but a lower cut vamp than the RS. The RS have more room in the toe box, putting the GR in between CL and RS regarding width of toe box.

You might try a 37.5 in GR plexi pumps but make sure you can return them if the toe box is to narrow.

They are beautiful shoes, style and quality! For reference, I am a US 7M and buy these in 37.5, so a half size larger than the 37 European equivalent. I do this for Valentino Rockstud pumps and Aquazzura Sexy Thing Suede Sandals as well.

Glad I found this topic as I am growing more fond of GR by the day [emoji4]
These are my latest acquisition from the new season.
It's way too cold to wear them and they need a tan but I fell in love with the colour[emoji173]️
Thanks for letting me share

I just got a pair of the Gianvito Rossi Calabria plexi pumps from the last Harrod's sale!!!! After seeing all the reviews and discussion I decided to go with my usual size, which is EU39 (my foot measures 25cm in length and 10cm in width) and the fit was so small!!!! I could barely fit in my foot in there. I tried warming them up so that the plexi softens, but even when I do I can only fit my foot in but in the most uncomfortable way.

They look so gorgeous on but I guess the fit is just not for me, I might have to size up... But I can tell from trying them on that they could be very comfortable as far as high heels go IF you get the right size.

All in all I recommend sizing up 1/2 to 1 size.

Hi long-time lurker, joining this thread to say, that I just ordered the plexi pump on sale from Mytheresa (see pic) and had the same problem! I even went up half a size but they still were very small! I have on other older plexi pair (slingback style) and they are my normal size.. Seems odd to me to change the sizing! Good luck in getting your size and you are so right they do seem comfortable for high heels, but I think most Gianvitos are! :tup: [emoji4] ImageUploadedByPurseForum1466318460.774815.jpg

Does anyone have both the Plexi and the Gianvito pointy toe pumps? I bought the Plexi is 36.5 (in red and so obsessed with them!) and they fit perfectly. But I'm eyeing the blue all suede ones as well. But they only have 36 or 37 available online. So wondering if they fit different or not.

Thanks! And FYI Farfetch has a lot on sale right now for about $400 a pair!

Here's my outfit for a wedding recently.

So pretty! Love a red shoe! I have just ordered my plexi pumps and had to size up, I normally wear a 38.5 in the suede and normal leather Gianvito pumps, sandals, boots. For the metallic plexi pumps I posted above I am now wearing a 39.5, so if I were you I might try the 36! Hope that helps:)

Thanks dearie, I ended up returning my ones in the suede duo colour, and since I live outside of the UK, will have to pay around £25 just for the return shipping. I've gone and ordered another pair in size 40, one full size bigger. Fingers crossed that they will fit!
