Gucci Bengal Availability...?

[heartbreakhotel]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the luxury scene (but longtime lurker) and just made my first purchase of a pair of Gucci Bengal Espadrilles...unfortunately I am heartbroken as they are too tight. My fault as I made the dumb decision of reading only online reviews for sizing and didn't go into my local store to confirm my proper size. Evidently it seems I'll only be able to get this specific style secondhand online if they ever show up in my size, but I am wondering if anyone knows if the Gucci outlets are still carrying products from the Bengal line/collection (I did look through the forums and saw they were in January), or connections to the outlets for me to call, or where I should be looking - i.e. The Real Real, Tradesy, etc etc.

P.S. If you own Gucci espadrilles....what size did you buy vs your normal size?

I'm not sure where you might find the bengal espadrilles as they came out a bit ago. I do have a pair of them. and love them so I hope you are able to find a pair! As for espadrille sizing at Gucci...it is best to really try them on first if thats possible for you as I find that certain Gucci espadrilles run slightly more narrow at times and sometimes even run big (the fabric ones in their herbarium design come to mind and a few others) where I had to size down or up or not get them at all depending on how they fit. Its really best to try them on as every now and then the sizing can be a bit off. When you get your size though, they are so comfortable and wonderful (I own more than 10 pairs lol of various designs of their espadrilles) and find that overall Gucci shoes (espadrilles, marmonts, and jordaans especially) are really comfortable and i'm a huge fan of them! I am a size 7 and I normally buy a Gucci size 37 or 37 and 1/2
