I haven't, but they are a boutique in LA, so you should be good. What did you get?
I’m not so much worried they’ll scam me or something like that, I’m just tight on time (I’m leaving for a trip on the 7th), and their processing and shipping times seem not to be the quickest. But that would be my fault for being hasty hahah.
The other thing is that they aren’t very clear on their return policies. Sale items are not eligible for returns, okay, but they never say anything about discount codes...
Anyway! I got a pink glitter mid star which is also so not what I would usually pic, that I’m beginning to think I was not myself yesterday.
We’ll see!
I broke down and ordered these from Farfetch, when I saw they sold out in my size at NM this morning. I've been kicking myself for not ordering them 6 months ago when I saw them for $370, and apparently missing all the other markdowns. On the bright side, I had a small credit from a cancelled order as well as a credit from their loyalty program. Still not as much of a steal as other sites had them, but they've been on my mind since December.
I do this all the time - don’t order something when it’s available and/or on sale, then months later regret it and start hunting it. It’s a bit masochistic.
Hope you love it, though!
Same. What is the point in saying no to be "good" for it to only haunt you and you end up paying more
.I do hope you get your shoes on time! The last pair of GG's I ordered, I ordered from an LA boutique (Kin LA), and I'd seen some reviews mention that they ordered something that was then cancelled, so I took it upon myself to just call them directly and see if they actually had them in stock, since I'd ordered the last pair in my size. They were super friendly and went on a mad search for them, and once they found them ended up shipping them to me immediately. It may be worth calling and seeing if there was any way they can ship it today since you are traveling, and they are a store with easy control over inventory rather than a massive warehouse situation?

I love these so much! What a fantastic shoe! I wasn’t familiar with Farfetch until I read your post, so I had a look and ended up ordering a pair from them too! I was looking for a white pair, very basic, and the price was very good on Farfetch so I went ahead and ordered them. I’ll include a picture. Thanks for your help scivolare!
You’re welcome! They’ve drastically improved as a company in the last several years. Initially they had insane return policies (like 5 days to turn around an international return) and you had to pay through wire transfer for your first order. So I refused to buy from them. But the whole process now is much easier. Sometimes items on there are significantly less expensive, other times they are significantly more. But I’ve ordered a few times from them now and been pleased, so I’m continuing to give them my money lol.
Plus, yes, they have a ton of stuff!
That’s very good to know! I looked into Farfetch after I read your post and I saw lots of positive reviews and it looked good to me. They have a fantastic selection and some of the prices are great! Hopefully the shoe will fit and I won’t have to return it. I hope you get your shoes soon! I love the glitter!

Yeah, after emailing several times, DMing on Instagram (which I kind of hate), I finally got a response from them saying that they couldn't locate the item and that they cancelled the order and refunded me. Still haven't gotten any notification of a refund, or a cancellation email...
They'll probably not see my money any time soon again.
It's for the better.
Also, I had no idea about that! I never bought from them, though, as I had read that people had had trouble with them, but good to know that's in the past.
As an aside, what are your (yours and everybody else that feels like answering) favorite places (online mostly) to purchase GG from?
Gah bummer about the cancellation. Sorry you didn't have any luck!
I'm also curious where everyone buys theirs. I try so hard not to pay full price, and I think I have managed to do this all but one time (full price being full US price).
So far, I have purchased from:
SSense
Luisaviaroma (they don't appear to carry them anymore though)
Tassinari Shoes
FRModa (had to return this one. They sent me the wrong size)
Nordstrom (only full price purchase so far. Pair was exclusive)
Kin Los Angeles
Net-a-Porter
Farfetch (this last pair)
I'm actually okay with the cancellation, it would make me anxious all the way up to delivery otherwise. What I'm NOT okay with is that I had to actively pester them for an answer, and it was hard to get. I hate that.
Yeah right?, I also almost never get a good deal on GG hahah.
I'm also always annoyed that I'm so easy to get a good deal from when selling mine (sometimes new in box) on Poshmark. But that's me being weak I guess.
You've ordered from lots of places! Some I've never even heard of. I've bought from Neiman Marcus once, when they had a promo that was like take 125 from 500 or something. I don't think they do those anymore?
I just received my new pair from Farfetch! I bought them on Friday and received them on Monday and I’m in the US. I am very impressed with that! They are perfect too and I’m thrilled! The price was great but Farfetch is funny like that. You have to stalk their site because the prices can change based on size. I definitely highly recommend Farfetch. It’s interesting because I bought a pair at Nordstrom (if you scroll back I posted pics) and the sizing was big and I thought GG wasn’t for me. I guess it was just that style because I’m a 6 and the 36’s are working great for me.
Here’s a picture and thank you for reading!
I’m so glad it worked out for you! I just got mine as well. And similarly, I usually find I prefer the fit of Mays on my feet to the SSs. I find the SSs are really wide, but these feel snugger. I’m wondering if it’s because they are suede instead of leather?
The glitter on these is quite stunning but hard to truly capture!
